I am also ‘Andrew’, the admin of this server. I’ll try to remember to only use this account for posting stuff.

Apart from using the word ‘dragon’, I couldn’t see anything about their account that indicates it’s an alt. They used ‘I’ as a pronoun in this comment.

Maybe 23 days ago a mod saw something different.

It doesn’t look like they’ve turned it back on yet at their end: https://hexbear.net/instances

I use an distro called ‘Bunsen Labs’, which was created as a successor to CrunchBang Linux when maintenance of that distro ceased. It uses OpenBox as the WM, and works well for an old laptop and for random VMs I spin up to test things (my test Lemmy instance runs on it).

You don’t need to apologise. I wasn’t trying to give you a hard time (sorry if it seemed like that). The remote posts I linked to in my earlier comment have now gone (maybe I was being given a cached version before - that’s a possibility I often forget about).

Awesome - I had hoped that the release schedule would fit with the show’s structure, but I wasn’t optimistic 'cos the streamers usually want more than a month’s sign-up to view a season.

It’ll be like getting a film a week, so hopefully there isn’t too much ‘previously on’ gunk. I’m unlikely to be the only one who’s planning to re-edit the eps into films anyway.

There’s probably a meme that someone could make showing an Internet user who is fed up with every site asking them if they want to install an app, but then also not liking that a website isn’t trying to get you to install an app. It’s server-side rendering baby! It’s the latest old-new-old thing! (technology is cyclical, as everyone knows).

I once did some office work for a tobacco company, where you were allowed to smoke at your desk. I don’t smoke, but I had a few ciggies when I was there, because you realise that you’ve never really pointed at anything, until you’ve pointed at it with a cig in your hand. It’s just a better way to point at stuff (I don’t make the rules).

He’s mentioned this before, but I’ve never been able to find an actual PixelFed Group (it doesn’t appear to be the same thing as what they call Collections). I’ll have another look when pixelfed.social enables them this weekend (but I suspect parsing titles for the posts will be a nightmare).

Also, ‘smithereen’ is tagged but I’m not sure of its status (all I found was 1 private instance run by the dev, federated with 1 “explicitly-free-speech” Akkoma instance).

Per the article, only the first 3 episodes are free on YouTube.

The whole season is now available on Hulu as well as Disney+ (they’ve done a similar thing before, where they also made it available via ABC).

The “previously on …” for this drama was that someone created a Fediverse post ranking the different apps for how well they handled Lemmy’s Markdown, and Racoon didn’t score well in the original post. It was later revised after further testing, but the damage was already done.
