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.

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 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).

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

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).

How have you deleted them? They are still here and here and probably at friendica.world but that site seems bust.

There are better playgrounds if you want to mess around with Fediverse stuff.

Imgur can also handle videos with audio. The main restriction with them is that the MP4s have to be less than a minute.

I’ll embed one here, which may or may not work, depending on what you’re using (if it doesn’t embed, the post is here)

(I know I’m full of shit, even when I’m writing the comment).

This says more about RT’s flawed ratings system than it does the quality of this movie. ‘80% Fresh’ just mean 80% of critics thought it was watchable (so it applies if there were 5 critics, and 4 said ‘meh’ and 1 said ‘bad’). The AVClub gave it a C+, which is the kind of rating that RT regards as Fresh from some publications and Rotten from others.

I’ve no idea why people are trying to Jack Quaid a thing, he was already a thing as soon as he was born to his famous parents.

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 watched a TV show called ‘Justified: City Primeval’ - it’s not very good, but something I found weird was how often the characters mentioned each other’s race I’m from the UK, so maybe it was just badly written, or maybe Americans do actually talk like that.
