I don’t think that blog author is male, btw.

I think that’s what he meant, yeah (no existing DB migration scripts, etc). I don’t know much about it, but I imagine it was probably always going to involve someone more familiar with Lemmy diving into the trenches.

Probably not. It’s fairly rare for those sorts of API endpoints to be covered by mobile apps.

TV shows and movies are already compressed. If you try to compress something that’s already compressed, it typically ends up bigger if anything.

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).

Clarkson has been trying to warn us for years, and we haven’t been listening. He punched a producer when his dinner wasn’t on time, to highlight the impending delays to food deliveries after Brexit. He left the BBC to work for Amazon, presenting a show that was a shadow of it’s former self, to illustrate how billionaires diminish everything they touch.

He couldn’t be clearer with his messaging, but the UK continues to ignore him.

I’m guessing this post is meant to be a link to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqSztEQprgg

The microwave is a fundamental part of the Make Tea -> Forget About Tea -> Reheat Tea cycle.

Also, I have to put the bag in first, because otherwise I’ve no idea how much room I need to leave for it (which you’d think I’d be able to eyeball by now, but apparently not).

PieFed is just a Fediverse platform that aims to inter-op with Lemmy in much the same way that it aims to inter-op with any other Group-based platform (MBIN, PeerTube, NodeBB, Wordpress).

Lemmy’s “quirks” are the reason why your account won’t see Polls from MBIN, or channels from PeerTube, or posts from NodeBB, or backfilled content from Wordpress.

It’s not my intent to criticise Lemmy, but these are verifiable problems, whereas it doesn’t seem fair to criticise PieFed for problems that you can’t clearly remember.

I go there for the post-episode TV discussions (though I don’t log in). It can interesting to read people’s theories for something like Severance, although the whole experience can end up being depressing (because of mod shenanigans, the over-use of spoiler syntax, and the dissonance / over-reaction created when some show that the hive-mind has already determined is the best thing ever has a duff episode)

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).

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.
