The Great Train Robbery (Edwin S. Porter)

It’s really impressive and frightening how good her impressions are lol

サメビーム！

Advent felt like they debuted yesterday. I’m surprised they’re pumping out another batch so soon.

Any of Satoshi Kon’s works (Paranoia Agent, Perfect Blue, Millennium Actress, etc). IMO, he’s one of the few animation directors who really takes advantage of everything animation has to offer.

This Lemmy instance is much harder to maintain due to the fact that I can’t tell what images get uploaded here, which means anyone can use this as a free image host for illegal shit, and the fact that there’s no user list that I can easily see. Moderation tools are nonexistent on here.

0.19.4 provides a way to see uploaded images (although not the best) but this version was only recently released so I can see where the frustration is coming from especially since the CSAM attacks happened nearly a year ago. At the time, I had to make a copy of pictrs, view everything on a file manager, and manually remove those images. People can still upload images without anyone seeing it however.

It also eats up storage like crazy due to the fact that it rapidly caches images from scraped URLs and the few remaining instances that we still federate with.

This was fixed in 0.19.3 (released 7 months ago) where you can disable image “caching”. This has solved storage costs for us together with pictrs’ image processing.

plug in an expensive AI image checker to scan for illegal imagery

It’s unfortunate that we need this. Not everybody has the resources to run fedisafety nor does everyone live in USA where they can use Cloudflare’s CSAM scanner. I think a good way to deal with the issue is to have images that are not public, not be stored (or have no private images at all). This way images can be easily reported.

Overall, I understand the frustration and to some degree I also feel the same but I also limit my expectations considering the nature of the project.

That does seem to be the case. I tried on another 0.19.4 instance and clicking the community dropdown removes everything (title, link, and body).

edit: Forgot to mention that someone made an issue already: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2537

I just read the first 20+ chapters and it’s so cute! It’s funny they seem to both be oblivious about each other’s feelings (romcom trope I guess) but it’s so cute. Definitely watching this when it airs next month.

I use dex and picom now. Every few months I learn something new about running i3wm with no DE.

I haven’t tried it yet but I would rather dual boot for games with anti-cheat that don’t work with Wine or a VM.

It really is bad compared to KVM. Though for my usecase of pandoc+vim, running Debian with VMware does the job. Browsing the web, watching videos, and listening to music are okay too. It’s very bad for GPU accelerated stuff though which is what the Windows host is for.

I want to dual boot again but I’m still working on this project on one of my SSDs so I don’t want to touch anything yet.

Been using Debian stable again this year, but this time in a VM (Windows host. I know, I know.)

I’m very happy with it. I tried other distros but kept coming back to Debian.

there’s lemmy.funami.tech iirc

install gentoo

Qwant isn’t available in a lot of countries though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qwant

I have a few professors who have wikipedia pages if that counts.

PG? There’s a lot of sex jokes if that’s what you mean.

I looked up the manga and I’ve been really enjoying it so far

Are server costs just generally cheaper/easier in colonial countries to run or is it purely a money and time thing?

They are cheaper. Locations outside US/EU and very few countries in Asia are sometimes called “exotic” and can be a bit expensive. Lemmy also has this issue where servers that are distant from each other lag behind.

Hmm… I wonder if its a regional thing. It only asks to open in the app if I’m not logged in. I can browse NSFW communities and posts if I am logged in on Firefox Android. If I log out, it will ask me to download the app.

here is a screenshot for example:
