HBO Max, for the brief period of time it existed, had a more fitting ‘bumper’. Hacks, which started out as a ‘Max Original’ still had it in season 3, but The Penguin, which was a Max Original until it wasn’t, has the fuzzy version (I’ve had players that struggle with it a bit, but I doubt HBO gives a shit about the quality of my experience pirating their stuff)

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.

One witness complained that the security was concerned about food and beverages being brought into the theater, but did not catch Loibl’s guns.

Sounds about right.

Also, the issue of obsessive fans is currently being highlighted by the plight of Chappel Roan, who now seems uncomfortable with the level of fame that she’d previously strived for.

Hello sorcerer. Please erase “Man, I feel like a woman” by Shania Twain. It annoys me anyway, but it not like it makes being a woman sound especially inspiring either (“Colour my hair, do what I dare” - woah, slow down there Shania!). Thanks.

Yeah. There’s no wildcard call. One thing you could do to script it would be pull JSONs from https://data.lemmyverse.net - use one for the initial effort, then subsequent ones to track new communities. You’d definitely want to filter it - as you’ve noticed the vast majority of that 30k are dead or spam or something you wouldn’t want for one reason or another (e.g. communities from instances you’ve defederated from).

As for what bots do, it depends on how they were programmed I suppose. There’s a bonkers one on https://leaf.dance that just seems to crawl comments and subscribe to any ! links it finds, but there are others (I can’t remember their names) where it’s more of a manual job (the mods of a community submit the details to it).

is it in reality not “all” but only “all posts that at least one user of this instance is subscribed to”?

Exactly this, yes. Not literally ‘all’ (a brand new instance would have nothing in its All feed). This is what was meant by ‘partial data set’ - everything for a subscribed community (from the moment it was subscribed to), but nothing for a community that no-one’s subscribed to.

Some instances run bots to populated their All feed more than what would happen naturally (with the idea being that the bot unsubscribes when a human does)

Germans no doubt have a single compound word for Annoyed-I-Am-Asked-To-Be.

OP is admin of https://diagonlemmy.social - if you look there directly (rather than at your instance’s copy of ‘leaky cauldron’) they seem to have an images problem - anything that should have copied locally is broken. I’m not sure that the same person creating a new instance (which is what they seem to be saying) would be the solution tbh.

Poor old Northern Rail - they only just got WiFi in the last couple of years (that’s not even a joke).

I just looked at Wookiepedia and it doesn’t list Cereans as being Monotremes, but my main takeaway is ‘Jesus Christ what a terrible website’.

Well now I’m thinking about this guy’s mother (specifically how long the ‘crowning’ process must’ve been whilst she was giving birth)

Since you’ve broadened it out to TV, I’ll use that as an excuse and mention that I think Nicholas Britell’s score for Andor is pretty cracking too.

Well, yeah. Dunno how popular those names still are though. There’s also androgynous-sounding name like ‘Alex’ or 'Andy, of course, but I figured that the general idea was to take a flight of fancy and riff on it, not shoot it down from the skies.

This is from ‘Shaun’ btw, who I mostly associate with videos criticising JK Rowling and her controversial friends.

It’s worth the watch, imo (though I can’t claim to be massively informed about the subject, so I have nothing to refute what he is saying). From what I remember, the gist of the video is that Israel is colonial power in a post-colonial world.

It’d be interesting if men took on their wife’s first name, so it would immediately indicate to others if a man was married or not. And then there’d be pushback, in the same way there is to the ‘Mrs’ and ‘Miss’ titles, and parents would start naming their sons with female names to start with. (it works less well the other way around, because there’s already girls called ‘Dylan’ and ‘Taylor’, etc).

I bought the Last of Us 2 upgrade, so I can’t really criticise anyone buying this, but I’ve played this game to it’s absolute death - had every conversation, completed every mission, even played through on the hardest difficulty to get all the trophies - so I can’t imagine ever playing it again. It’s Guerrilla Games’ own fault - if they hadn’t made it so good, they could have had an extra tenner from me.

Here’s me, assuming I’ll die choking on a steak (like Liz Lemon imagines for herself), and now a new fear is unlocked, where I don’t even get a meal first.

(Sad news about the guy of course)

I use beets for exactly this.

Crikey - it was only added a few hours ago and it’s already all kicking off on their GitHub’s Issues page.

Jamie XX, In Waves - only just started listening, so haven’t formed a proper opinion yet. It was playing while I was doing something else, and then it was over before I knew it, which is usually the kind of thing I like (interesting, but not too intrusive).

The album I’m listening to on repeat is Brian Eno, Another Day on Earth. Link to the song ‘Just Another Day’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oxNGbP0HFI
