I don't watch a lot of horror, but Drag Me To Hell made me realise you can enjoy like you might a rollercoaster (albeit a rollercoaster that goes 'quiet ... quiet ... HANDKERCHIEF ATTACK !!!)

Just a temporary thing with Lemmy I think - PeerTube (like Lemmy and Mastodon) are already part of the fediverse. You used to be able to successfully subscribe to PeerTube channels from Lemmy (when it was on 0.18), and likely will be able to in future (it's just a Lemmy bug that needs a fix).

Trust Walz to reach for cake analogies - I bet he responded 'as it should be' after finishing Portal.

Sorry - none of those will work, as PieFed doesn't yet do any regexing of content to create Mentions. It's on the TODO list.

We may need to ask world to upgrade their storage capacity so we can fit all this man's egregious deception on.

It's federated like Lemmy, so each platform has 'local videos' and an 'all videos' section. E.g. https://fedi.video/videos/local and https://fedi.video/videos/overview

Of course, since it's federated, it means other platforms like PieFed, MBIN and Mastodon can access the same stuff, so you don't need to register anywhere if you're on one of them.

British telly: "Ah, US production companies, you think 6 episodes a season is your ally? You merely adopted the limited run. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see 22 episodes of one TV show until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!"

Season 1 was, like everything else, filmed in Vancouver.

I think it's only pretty recently that Japan has opened up the possibilities for filming there, to make shows like Tokyo Vice possible. Ridley Scott had a nightmare filming Black Rain there a couple of decades ago - partly because as far a they're concerned, a filmmaker's need to close down a street is outweighed by any citizen's need to use the street.

Chris Sawyer: I programmed Rollercoaster Tycoon in x86 assembly!
This guy: pfft, what a amateur

Unherd isn't Twitter (although you can find the same TERFs in both places). Info about site: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/UnHerd

This is like when supermarkets put the short-dated food in the 'reduced' section: I kinda always expect it to be 'was £3, now 30p', but it's usually 'was £3, now £2.89'

£390 is so close to the retail price for new, that if was going to get one, I'd probably just do that.

The "I'd buy that for a dollar!" guy from Robocop.

No, they have a code. It's like then when they're filming lions: they don't warn the wildebeest that they're in danger, they have to let nature take its course.

No. Because he banged his head when he tripped, right? And then didn't recover for an hour or something, and the car had been pressing against his leg for an hour in such a way that's difficult for him to get leverage on it. If this guy wasn't presumably already long-dead from old-age by now, I'd write to him and tell him of my worst fears.

I was thinking he might trip getting in or out, the car would roll a bit, enough to pin him against the house door frame and then he'd end up having to sever some part of himself like in 127 hours. It could happen! (maybe)

I have concepts of a plan
Got involved with the Taliban

I didn't watch the debate, but I would've if I'd known it was a rap battle.

Hey! This guy doesn't know about the three seashells!

"It's very easy, I open my house door, then my car door, then get out and move the car manually, then close my house door, then move the chairs back, then eat some dinner, then murder the hitchhikers still trapped in my car, then watch some telly."

Seems like he leaves the car in there in neutral with no handbrake, so that's an accident waiting to happen.

I think it's just a desire to indicate some uncertainty about something (like - I'm not an expert, my opinion on whatever could change with time or new information). A full stop seems arrogant somehow.

I realise it's not a good impulse and mostly resist. Mostly ...

(that last one's nothing to do with the above reasoning, it's just a line from Aliens that's stuck in my head).

Maybe she wouldn't have said anything at all when it was Biden. Felt much more likely when Harris became the candidate, but - between them - Vance and Trump provoked her enough for it to be an inevitability.

"Don't have anything monetary, per se" - I can relate.

Very late reply - the 'app' at the moment is just a PWA, so it requires a manual check

Oh man, I remember seeing this ages ago and then I could never find it again (I was searching for 'Darth Vader being passive / aggressive' I think). So now I've found it! (but the sacrifice was too great - RIP James Earl Jones)

You can set a gif's FPS yeah. There's an app called gif.ski that lets you play around with this - add a folder full of PNGs to it and render a gif. The lowest the UI lets you select for FPS is 1 - I made one and stuck it here so you can see what that looks like.

You can use the same tool on the command line if you want a half frame per second rate, e.g.:
gifski --output interesting.gif --fps 0.5 --quality 70 *.png

97% is good - it's the ratio of upvotes you give vs downvotes. I think it mostly serves to prevent things like someone downvoting every post/comment of someone they've disagreed with - it would lower their 'attitude' and after a certain threshold, their downvotes would stop being registered.

(the opposite of 'attitude' is 'reputation' which is the ratio of upvotes to downvotes that other people give you)

Wanting to end all text communications with ellipses ...

This is why I always say 'thanks' to GPT when we've finished chatting.

I've climbed that! In Assassin's Creed I mean. I've also killed a lot of people.

I don't know if there's any tools that'll do that - I imagine it'd be an animation that you'd need to tediously build frame by frame. Gif is especially inefficient to simulate slowness because you need a new frame even when it's the same as the previous one, so the file would be massive. So you'd want to convert it to MP4 (which anything hosting it would probably do automatically) or use webp - this doesn't have particularly widespread support but it lets you create animations with a 'delay' element so you can hold certain frames. An example of that is here: https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/218d951c-67b3-4589-ac94-8f661b32a8fc.webp (wait for it ...)

All the other comments except from that one are from alien.top (Reddit users turned into bots), which your instance is defederated from.

Seems to be a bug. The shortcuts page mentions 'J', 'K', and 'L', not those keys with the Ctrl button also pressed. I can replicate this problem with Ctrl-J (should be 'Downloads' in Edge) and Ctrl-K (should be 'search with Bing') where PieFed is grabbing them for navigation instead. Not sure about Ctrl-L - it goes to the URL bar for me, but that might just be because I don't understand where 'L' is applicable for PieFed.

Ha ha. This is like seeing Predators at a Disney theme park (I've no idea if they own the franchise - they probably do).

I listened to the track at https://lemm.ee/post/41528735 (listentothis community) the other day, then had to listen again today 'cos it was stuck in head.

You're not kidding. Arriving from the UK into Sydney airport - the heat was unbelievable, but when I was in Melbourne, there was a question of 'wait? is this weather ... shit?'

When the Daily Mail says anybody 'faces fierce backlash', they mean a fierce backlash that they're about to stir up.

Ranked by complexity:

1. Demystify the universe
2. Demystify the human brain
3. Demystify our sed scripts

Think we should maybe walk before we run here.

I'm not some arrogant cyclist, insisting on my right to be somewhere - I use what is often the only road that takes me where I want to go. Personally, I find windy b-roads a bit scary too, and there's a downhill I have to take that's got a 'cycle lane' painted on, with cars parked on the left of me (so if anyone opens their door, I'm dead), cars in a narrower-than-usual lane to the right of me, and a diversion onto the pavement at the bottom, with a bus stop for the unwary to crash into. So basically every segment of a cycle journey is terrifying one way or another, and I just have to not think about it too much or I'd never go anywhere.

When I'm cycling on dual carriageways, it's interesting to realise that some drivers overtake me by moving to straddle the line between lanes ('fine'), some drivers move into the other lane ('great'), and some don't move at all, demonstrating that even when there's a whole other lane to use, they're happy to skim past me. And by 'interesting', I mean 'often terrifying'.
