Hell yeah, Galaxy Express 999 returns to the states!
- Comment on [Episode] TRIGUN STARGAZE - Episode 4 discussion 3 days ago:
4 episodes in, so far I think it’s ok but definitely not my favorite take on the series.
I’m enjoying it for what it is, but I’m not gonna lie that I think the animation and direction of this show isn’t what I want exactly. Hell, I don’t know if it’s just my imagination but I think it might be slightly worse looking than the first season (Trigun Stampede)
- Comment on [Episode] TRIGUN STARGAZE - Episode 3 discussion 1 week ago:
I think it’s a mixed bag. The new show is OK but I would probably read the manga first if you’ve seen the 90s show but read the manga yet.
This is basically “yet another take on Trigun” so it shares elements of both the old anime and the manga (Trigun + Trigun Maximum) but remixes it.
I think the direction could be better and the music isn’t as good as the original show, but it’s fun if you go in with the right expectations.

They’re also machine translating subs and, guess what, they suck just as hard
- Comment on Most internet traffic is now bots 2 weeks ago:
Let me ask you this way, why use lemmy at all if email forums are perfectly legitimate ways of communication? You could be on a mailing list right now, so why is activitypub even important?
- Comment on Most internet traffic is now bots 2 weeks ago:
Even 2FA, I mostly don’t use email anymore in favor of other more secure 2FA methods.
School, beats me, bit work is mostly chat based these days imo with slack. Granted, I do have email for invoices, but I was mostly talking about email as a communication tool, not a document management system. I’d be perfectly fine with sending people cloud links to Google drive if they accepted it.
- Comment on Most internet traffic is now bots 2 weeks ago:
Job uses slack, rocketchat or discord. I have a work email that is so separate from personal email that it basically doesn’t count (because there’s no spam there.) HOA and Bank sends old fashioned mail, and also isn’t critical to me as I have websites for both. Receipts I wouldn’t really consider communication, but even then most receipts I save personally.
Seriously, email is kind of old fashioned and isn’t really used for communication between real people. You can see how most of what you’re talking about is effectively “documents” and not real communication right?
Most I use email for discussion in 2025 is mailing lists but those are usually for old phogey FOSS projects.
- Comment on Most internet traffic is now bots 2 weeks ago:
You’re telling me you use email for anything other than spam? By all means, give an example. Personally, when I talk to friends or family, I never use their email address, I just add them to signal or get their phone number…
- Comment on Most internet traffic is now bots 2 weeks ago:
The problem is that nobody really uses email anymore. So you might be right, but it should show people why 95% of all the Internet traffic being garbage is pretty damning for businesses or communities that have been built upon it.

I should try to give the second season a watch. I only remember the first one from when I was a kid in the 90s lol, it might be a fun rewatch at some point.

Question,
If I’m on a different instance, is there a away to get the episode link equivalent for my instance? The post ID seems to differ between instances, and I don’t know if there’s something I’m missing or not regarding a “open in my instance” url.
- Comment on Priming and sealing a painted print 3 weeks ago:
I’ve not see anything but hand wavy “add a layer of clear coat” for sealing.
Hmm, maybe I’m mistaken but is this not pretty sound advice? Or is the implication that you want this paint job to be matte and coarse (in which case, clear coat to start and perhaps sanding after a few paint coats?)
Otherwise, I wish I could help, I don’t have much experience printing PLA.
- Comment on Do we need more users ? 3 weeks ago:
The amount of furry / anime content on the front page might be putting off some new users
I don’t see this on mine. Isn’t NSFW enabled by default?
This is why I don’t generally believe in all being a good “starting” view for new users. Local would probably make more sense until the user has subscriptions, and then defaulting to subscriptions once the user has joined communities. This would mean an always active feed to start, prioritizing the “local” community for users to participate in the instance they belong to, while also not bombarding them with content from the firehose.
My 2 cents, probably easier to say what to do than to do it though, being a programmer myself. 😎
- Comment on Do we need more users ? 3 weeks ago:
Needing more users is fine. Sure, we could always use more friends (or enemies, I guess)
But, ultimately, just having people come here first and then whatever hellhole corpo-media second is at least a step in the right direction. I feel like user activity increasing is a good sign that there’s a lot of people out there investing time in the fediverse instead of the corporate hell-loop social media.

Why they would do it when this hurts their own business is beyond me.
Welp, I guess I won’t be donating next year.
- Comment on New Social Web Working Group at W3C 3 weeks ago:
While LOLA is great, I’d really love an established handshake mechanism for having two accounts on two bespoke services represent the same user.
For example, I want to have a pixel fed and mastodon presence that can be authored between the two. However, you currently can’t make two accounts that are effectively linked to each other. I feel like this linking is important for further decentralizing the fediverse (by effectively decentralizing the user itself)
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Exactly. This is really just hedging their bets. They know the carpet is being pulled and now they’re in the bargaining phase. (This plus Jensen asking people to be nicer about AI shlock.)

Alternative Advice: Buy up old used mini-pcs if hardware is too expensive. Don’t buy AWS unless you actually need cloud services (i.e. you’re hosting a website).
I won’t say VPSs don’t have their utility, but anyone framing it as an alternative to owning a PC is completely DeLuLu and need their head examined.
- Comment on we need more users 3 weeks ago:
Ah true, I generally avoid all until I’m out of subscribed content or just looking for new communities
- Comment on we need more users 3 weeks ago:
Active is basically like old forum logic, where new comments will bump it up back to the top. Scaled is my go to view first as it does a pretty good job balancing out communities of widely different sizes, so smaller communities that you’re subbed to have a chance of having their post be seen if it’s new and larger in upvoter count.
- Comment on we need more users 3 weeks ago:
Hot take: the biggest issue is actually ever entering a community and seeing zero comments. Most reddit addiction stems from wanting to read comments, so I think people should add a comment to something if they’re upvoting and they see that the thread has zero comments.
Nothing eliminates enthusiasm like seeing 0 comments on every post in a community, especially if that community is driven by bots.
- Comment on Stack Overflow in freefall: 78 percent drop in number of questions 4 weeks ago:
Will the AI still flame me if I ask the wrong question?
Is nothing sacred anymore?
Real talk though, it is concerning when it feels like 3/5 times you ask AI something, you’ll get a completely hair brained answer back. SO will probably need to clamp down non-logged in browsing and enforce API limits to make sure that AI trainers are paying for the data they need.

No worries that makes sense. I’ll make an account over there mostly to test out piefed, purely out of curiosity.
Thanks for the help!

Q: Would it be possible to migrate an account from lemmy.zip to piefed.zip?
Obviously this might require the software support first for general account migration, but I’d like to know whether or not I should make a new account or not if it’s possible to try migration.

“In principle I like being a democracy. But the practice of it? Nah, I’d rather we do secretive bullshit.”
Neat, I’ll keep this in mind next time the liberals are in power lol.

I think it’s just the amount of love for game consoles is much higher than phones, where people are a bit complacent.
I do agree it should happen more often.
