I am also ‘Andrew’, the admin of this server. I’ll try to remember to only use this account for posting stuff.
Awesome - I had hoped that the release schedule would fit with the show’s structure, but I wasn’t optimistic 'cos the streamers usually want more than a month’s sign-up to view a season.
It’ll be like getting a film a week, so hopefully there isn’t too much ‘previously on’ gunk. I’m unlikely to be the only one who’s planning to re-edit the eps into films anyway.
Am watching it for Aimee Lou Wood (the toughest foe a Walton Googins character has ever faced).
Not so bothered by the ‘family of wankers’, or the passive-aggressive bitchiness of Carrie Coon’s gang, but we’ll see. This show does the impressive trick of making unrelatable, unlikeable people entertaining.
Thought that thumbnail was a joke when I first saw it, like someone had pasted Luna’s head on Mon’s husband’s body. Still looks a bit off, but I guess it’s a “you walk in, act like you belong” reference.
All I need now is for someone to make it April 22nd already. By science or magic, I’m not fussed.
No, you’re right. It’s just how it sounds with Sanders’ distinct accent.
For stuff about films, I like ‘Thomas Flight’ and ‘Like Stories Of Old’. LSOO has just released a video about Gladiator II that I’m going to watch in a bit (I’m hoping he hated it as much as I did!)
Interstellar is an app for both MBIN and Lemmy, and the dev has said that they’d be interested in adding PieFed too when the API is stable. There’s likely other apps that cater to more than one subset of the Fediverse (e.g. Mastodon + PeerTube or something), but unlikely to be one that covers the full thing.
Yes. PieFed federates with Lemmy, but in much the same way that it federates with MBIN, or PeerTube, or NodeBB. Federation is about the relationship between servers, using a common protocol (ActivityPub) to communicate. A mobile app like voyager is concerned about the relationship between a client and server, who communicate using something they’ve both agreed on (Lemmy’s V3 API in this case). PieFed can’t implement Lemmy’s V3 API (for a whole bunch of reasons), so mobile apps have to use PieFed’s own API to communicate with it (which is what I’m doing right now, as I write this comment).
Towards the end of this video, he says “the United States of America is the longest-standing democracy in the world”. My geopolitics are a bit rough, so genuine question: is it?
No. The app was forked from a Lemmy app (Thunder), so there’s not much PieFed-specific in it (e.g. there’s also no support for Polls). The exception is that it supports post / comment subscribing (I was notified of your comment, even though I’m not the OP of this post).
I created a new instance for testing the app, and I didn’t create any Topics (partly laziness, partly because the whole area is being re-evaluated for user-created Topics, aka Feeds).
The app will lag behind the site in features, 'cos adding stuff for direct HTML rendering will always be easier than adding stuff that’s got to come through an API.
PieFed and Lemmy are different software platforms for interacting with the Fediverse (of which they are both separate parts). It’s a bit like how Spotify and Tidal are both for streaming music, and you can see the same artists on both, but you can’t use Spotify’s app to sign in to Tidal. PieFed’s API is fairly similar to Lemmy’s, for the routes that it covers, but not exactly the same, so you can’t use Lemmy apps with PieFed, or PieFed apps with Lemmy.
(edit, just 'cos LW is being a bit slow.)
I’d be surprised if he used anything like his natural accent - American voices seem to be against the rules for fantasy shows (though there’s probably exceptions I’m not thinking of).
