I’d prefer not to if it’s all the same to you.
A geologist and archaeologist by training, a nerd by inclination - books, films, fossils, comics, rocks, games, folklore, and, generally, the rum and uncanny… Let’s have it!

Just imagine how his missus must feel!

Well that and it’s an anticipated British film in a UK cinema. Screenings are similar on Saturday.
Default instances would go a long way, I know there’s a lot of hate for lemmy.world but defaulting to the biggest instance or a random one in the top 10 would help ease some of the early friction.
I’d rather join-lemmy (and join-fediverse) were smarter.
Have a series of questions (for join-fediverse add “what service do you want?”):
Where are you?
What languages do you speak?
Select your hobbies from the list below:
And it then spits out 2 or 3 instances.
It’s what I’d do if someone asked me directly for a recommendation and should be relatively easy to do.
As we say with someone posting a link to db0 on r/piracy, if you just say to people “this is the instance for you” and it seems relevant then they make the jump. I’m tempted to go to the main subs for Canada, Australia, the UK, etc and just post a link to the relevant instance.
It’s something I’ve raised with the other Admins and we may see if our users would be up for swapping the default frontend to one of the others.
I know I favour this, but I may be biased.
My main tip for picking an instance is go for a region or topic specific instance so your local feed is manageable and relevant.
Run by us, for us.
Thanks, didn’t realise some were unlimited. I’ve only just moved to peertube.wtf and I’ll stay there for now. Any sign of pixelfed.wtf?
I’ll see how Tumblr federation goes as I do fancy trying to find ways to take advantage of their storage capacity. However, well see…
I’m booked in on Friday (yes it’s Valentine’s Day) and I was surprised by my local multiplex shunting it off to smaller screens (one I joke is the toilet as it has almost the same number of seats) and the only iSense screening is early. Instead Bridget Jones is grabbing all the Big screens. I suspect this mixed reaction has something to do with it.
When I read the headline I was concerned about the poor sod who had to collect it. Their way sounds safer but not very hygienic. 🤢
Although I mutter about the Thunderbolts line-up, it does look like it could work well if the story goes the way I hope it does.
I’ll be seeing Cap 4 in the next week but I can’t say I am looking forward to it.
RJD returning as Doom seems desperate.
However, the Fantastic Four trailer has me excited for it.
Yes, that seemed a “bold” pick.
“Of all time” but the bulk are from the last 20 years (apart from Sandman, TWD is the oldest and started 22 years ago), most the last decade.
Now that is Interesting.
I had some thoughts about getting public domain short films into the Fediverse but you’d rapidly exhaust the allowance on most instances. However, this might just be the ticket. Time to brush off my Tumblr password…
Maybe PeerTube can already do that, haven’t played with it enough to know.
You’d think Peertube would be able to.
The company released documents in December that it said showed Musk previously supported turning OpenAI into a for-profit but walked away because he couldn’t get control of it.
Sounds about right.
That was always the plan but the speed they’ve made them has surprised everyone.
Buried cost fallacy
