I am watching The Mandolorian season 2, and it feels like the fight scenes haven't been directed
Has anyone else noticed this?
Just there's no sense of flow or reason in action. There's a bunch of cool moments, but no flow if more than 2 people are present

The amount of ink spilled by Hachydermians about #Fedipact being an overreaction should be interrogated. We should all think about how giving fascists the benefit of the doubt is fucking stupid.
Hello Hachyderm! Thank you for your patience as we gathered the necessary data to write our announcement blog post regarding Threads.The short version: Hachyderm has defederated from Threads.
Specifically, this is due to Threads changing their moderation policies and moderator guidance (see press cycle) to be in direct conflict with Hachyderm.
For the data and explainer, please see our announcement blog post:

I remember being asked to migrate the Linux documentation for the Windows-centric MSP that had acquired a former employer.
I spent a fair amount of time making sure all was correct, well formatted and had plenty of examples.
It came back to me with the comment that there were no screenshots.
So you want terminal screenshots as documentation for command-based processes?
Of course I maliciously complied :D

@Kicou Fuck - I hate it. That's so annoying.
I recently had to send a video to a support chat - rather than copy/paste them the error message. The video was of the error message.

TED is one of the biggest enablers of this "AGI" scam, and one of the biggest ways to circle more money amongst more white dudes. Period.
Why not do an "interview" with the myriads of traumatized, exploited workers and those protesting genocide to discuss "safety"?
Those are not from populations TED is interested in. They don't fit the bill of "a scientist" or "innovator." There are only certain things that Black people are supposed to talk about in front of white saviors.

Sometimes, systemd adds features, which are not embraced uniformly across the entire Linux distro ecosystems. Hopefully this is one of them...
ALSO luckily there are a few non systemd linux distros still hopping.

Do not share Rebel News. Don't watch it. Don't touch it. Whatever you do, don't boost it.
If they are showing a clip from a politician you like, find the clip on CBC or literally *any* other Canadian source.
Rebel News was the propaganda arm of our version of Jan6. The fascist running our right wing scumbag party only performs for Rebel News, he doesn't do interviews with other networks.
You are opening the door to our nazi pipeline. Stop.

If you’re doing everything you can to avoid COVID & you get sick anyways, you were failed by society. You did not fail.
You were failed by governments & public health who’ve abdicated all responsibility. By people who won’t take the most basic precautions.

I just sent my first patch to #OpenBSD! 🥳
relayd wasn’t allowing fallback tables with http relays with filter rules. But it does this with any other redirect or relay. So the whole patch is just to add a single else. Without braces.
It took about 3 hours of research to produce this single else.
Pretty good start to 2025!

These kinds of articles are starting to make me itch.
Computers *are not people*. Computers *are not like people*.
Stories need to be able to grapple with computers as computers, and readers understand computers as computers. If you, as a writer, want to write about people and slavery, the time to call computers just like slaves is past, unless you lampshade and highlight it hard. It is now the writer's responsibility. Computers are part of our lives, and they are not slaves they are tools. And anthropomorphizing them is the dangerous action.
Getting angry because your audience sees computers as tools not people is annoying, because a very large problem in our society is that people see computers as people not tools.

@silverwizard I agree with the sentiment and I would refine the conclusion further: a very large problem in our current society is that people see computers as responsibility-proof people, not tools which design can be criticized.
1970s science-fiction authors couldn’t know better because the technology in their books had to be entirely made-up. It is telling for me that we got to human likeness in chatbots way before we enacted any sort of global computing law that Isaac Asimov envisioned for robots.

@Hypolite Petovan yes! We waffle around computers. They're tools so we can't punish them, but they're independent so their users can't be held responsible.
We need to stop treating computers as special and magical, and viewing them as human suuuuuuuuuucks.

@drwho I just wish that it wasn't such a disappointing stinker of a movie. 
But, I've done my part - archived and seeding! 
One thing I like about the #Fediverse and the larger #DecentralizedSocialMedia space that private companies will never be able to fully replicate is how some people find their own calling inside this environment and share their work with others. Platform and client developers are obvious example of this, but specialized accounts like @Fedi.Tips 🎄 (ran by @FediThing 🏳️🌈 ) is regularly dispensing helpful meta information about the space even though there’s no material incentive for them to do so.
Thanks to them for their continued efforts to bring everybody who is ready to follow them up to speed with the latest and the little known!

While we are all discussing a health insurance system that murders 60k Americans per year for profit, I would like to remind everyone that this reporter released the Panama Papers, exposing a global network of tax dodging by wealthy people. No wealthy people went to prison, but she was murdered.
Not enough of us got angry about that.
