As a term, ‘instance’ is already baked into code, databases, and APIs.

If I wanted to use an API to block ‘lemmy.world’, for example, I’d call ‘site/block’ with the relevant ‘instance_id’. That’s already 2 different terms for the same thing (‘site’ and ‘instance’), which isn’t great, but adding ‘provider’ into the mix means you’re now saying “if you want to block a ‘provider’, use the ‘site’ endpoint with the ID for the ‘instance’”, which is arguably worse.

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).

Ah, no. Sadly not. It installed okay, but just presents a big white window when I ran it. The OS version is BigSur (the highest that machine will run).

I doubt it’s an Issue you’ll need to prioritise, 'cos others in my position have likely just installed Linux instead.

Looks great! Is there any info about what architecture / OS versions are supported for Mac? The only Apple hardware I have is a 12 year old MacBook Air (I realise I could just download it and find out, but that would involve me getting up off the sofa). Thanks.

Last I read, the admin who was a day late in paying Sav for the renewal was actually able to transfer the domain to a different registrar (PorkBun) before Sav’s auction of the domain was complete. This maneuver was either something that Sav’s auction designers hadn’t anticipated, or the auction was compromised because the main bidder (j_s_) was a hexbear user who’d found a way to make unauthenticated bids.

At any rate, I don’t think they paid thousands for it.

I’d be surprised if he used anything like his natural accent - American voices seem to be against the rules for fantasy shows (though there’s probably exceptions I’m not thinking of).

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.

Am watching it for Aimee Lou Wood (the toughest foe a Walton Googins character has ever faced).

Not so bothered by the ‘family of wankers’, or the passive-aggressive bitchiness of Carrie Coon’s gang, but we’ll see. This show does the impressive trick of making unrelatable, unlikeable people entertaining.

Thought that thumbnail was a joke when I first saw it, like someone had pasted Luna’s head on Mon’s husband’s body. Still looks a bit off, but I guess it’s a “you walk in, act like you belong” reference.

All I need now is for someone to make it April 22nd already. By science or magic, I’m not fussed.

No, you’re right. It’s just how it sounds with Sanders’ distinct accent.
