For ‘Action Horror’, I’ve liked The Hunt (2020), Ready or Not, Totally Killer and Strange Darling (technically not a horror, but it’s about a serial killer)

I watched Red Rooms recently, and that’s French (Canadian), so if anyone asks you what you watched recently, you can say ‘Les chambres rouges’ and sound all intelligent and stuff.

I don’t know anything about DBZ, but I watch the ‘Pitch Meeting’ for movies way more than I watch the actual movies. The one for Joker 2 is quite fun.

It’s a useful metric. Maybe it’s the better one, but personally I’d like to see good data from both.

I had to look at All + New the other day because the Fediverse was being spammed by some twat, but otherwise it’s

90 / 0 / 10 (if I look at All, it’s All+Hot, not All+New, 'cos that’s for masochists)

It’s a trade-off, I guess. Admittedly, there’s not much benefit the user (though they could be warned via email if their account is going to be de-activated). There is however a benefit to the community, in that it can provide more reliable data to see if it’s trending in popularity (a 100 extra users isn’t significant if it thinks it has 30k users, but it moves the needle if that number is at a more realistic level).

I recognize most of the users there even in the big communities with over 30k members

Communities with 30k members could really do with pruning the completely inactive ones. It’s not like there’s any commercial reasons to pretend that places are busier than they actually are.

If an 8-inch wang isn’t doing the job for you, it’s probably as much about technique as it is about size. (I watched this assuming it was a parody vid, but it’s an April’s Fool upload from the real channel).

I know all the cool kids hate on AI, but as someone out of the loop, that ‘podcast’ is really impressive. I guess it speaks to how a influential certain style of podcasting is (from the likes of NPR) that a machine can copy it the same as other humans do.

As for the embedded link, this works for me (and others on the same site as me), but it might not for others:

I think they’re all pushing their luck with it, trying to get away with it until any actual legal repercussions happen. I first saw this a while ago with a French newspaper - apparently the majority of newspapers there do it.

Thanks. Turns out that if it wasn’t for Washington, Americans would be free to occasionally measure themselves in ‘stones’, based on the easy-to-remember system of there being 14 pounds in a stone. Or maybe 12. America’s loss, either way.

I’m guessing “Washington’s Dream 1” was for America to have TV shows with sketches that go on for slightly too long, punctuated by incredibly enthusiastic audience noises (in England sketches are mandated to only last 3 minutes max, and are greeted with quiet stares of appreciation).

Only kidding: this was a fun video.

I’d say ‘go for it’, if only because ‘as fuck’ smells like a reddit-ism. Depends what the mods of this community feel about, I suppose.

Sorry - I meant that it’s literally the username they’ve used. They’ve used the word ‘911’, like you’ve used the word ‘windyrebel’.

It’s okay - you can say felonious things about a felonious prez (the prospect of which was probably unthinkable at the time this sketch was made)

There’s a user here, who was ‘101’ at reddthat, then piefed, then feddit.org, and was 911 at lemmynsfw, and is currently 911 at programming.dev, who posts a bunch of articles over a week or so, then deletes their account and moves on to another instance. They’re up to something, surely. (the only real downside to this behaviour - that I can think of - is that new instances won’t be able to get their posts, because Lemmy doesn’t return posts for deleted users)

Well, it won’t help you (or me), but the the most active is probably https://hexbear.net/c/ama (the lemmy.world seems to have got nuked, and the already-mentioned lemmy.ca one is the only other one I found)

Nice. The thumbnail image reminded me of an Open Pandora, which similarly looked like a chunky DS and ran Linux (it was mostly intended for playing emulated games). The Pandora was never that repairable though, in the sense that it was mostly a system on a chip.

Before I even looked, I thought that I bet this device is more expensive than I’d assume - the crowdfunding site is listing prices roughly between $1000 and $1500.

He’s posted before that Day 1 sales covered the cost the device itself, so a decent chuck of everything after that will have been pure profit. It was probably always doomed, what with YouTube being YouTube, so it doesn’t look like he’s too shaken up about it.

All the links in this post already have that attribute, so I guess it’s already added.

Fuckin’ hell, is it Monday again already? Suppose it is, technically. Anyway, still listening to In Waves by Jamie XX. I’ve tried listening to other stuff, but I’m finding them all fatally flawed by not being In Waves by Jamie XX. The last track, a distinctly Irish reversioning of Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot, continues to amuse me.
