Yeah… As someone who uses fightcade occasionally, moderation on these services when they’re non-federated are a real problem.
- Comment on Tim Cook Warned by CIA That China Could Move on Taiwan by 2027 2 days ago:
I think it’s pressure to try to get him to pull out of deals with Chinese memory manufacturers.
It isn’t going to work though. The industry is too fucked right now and apple needs to partner with Chinese memory manufacturers if they want to produce hardware this year.

Cool. Wasn’t sure about the idea of more evangelion but I’ll keep an open mind. It’ll be interesting to see what Tsurumaki has left to say in the Eva universe and it’s definitely very interesting that Yoko Taro is working on the script. So it’s easy to say it beat my expectations.

Wouldn’t it be better to just make downvotes clamp to zero?
I get not liking the rat race of up vs down votes, but the scoring is designed to help spam prevention itself.
- Comment on I Bought a “Junk” PSP From Japan: Here’s How It Went 1 week ago:
Used products in Japan are generally stupidly cheap. Something about the culture makes it so that people generally look at old devices as worthless and non-new devices are occasionally shunned.
Anyway, good write up and grats on the PSP. Good luck with the next one too.
- Comment on Mastodon is testing easier ways to get you started in the fediverse 1 week ago:
I get it, but also the internet sucks these days and it’s hard to make money on advertising alone. I can’t blame a reputable journal for asking for money to see the articles they publish, and since I tolerate all sorts of patreon business models, I have to be realistic in thinking that this is going to be the only path forward for real journalism. It’s a shame, but it just seems to have worked out this way.
- Comment on Matrix Space? 1 week ago:
Granted, you’re right. I was mostly just curious if there was an associated chat room for this instance as I’m really just trying to find active matrix spaces for the upcoming discord exodus so I can build a directory of neat communities.

Neat but I’m getting errors just loading the page.
A better browsing experience is definitely a nice idea though. I wonder if we couldn’t just improve the UI/UX of the actual peertube web interface though so that all instances benefitted from this work? (For example, allow setting up aggregate indexers on the instance settings (links to json repos) so that channels that exist on other unknown instances can be found quicker.)
- Comment on What's your preferred version to watch Deep Space Nine? Is AI upscale worth it? 2 weeks ago:
Upscaling can be ok but I honestly hate the way upscaled content looks. Faces end up looking mushy and motion is often awful (since some nerds think the frame rate needs to be interpolated, which makes it look awful.) So I still watch the DVD SD rip which is good enough for me.
I won’t poo poo the idea of watching it upscaled if that’s what you want, but I’d stress that you should keep good notes on your files (via filename) so that you know what modifications have been made. This is only because metadata of video files are too lacking in this new era where videos are often modified, and it’s becoming really difficult to fine the original authentic files for anything these days. Assuming you care about that sort of thing.
- Comment on Tri gun: Original or stampede? 2 weeks ago:
Between those two options, I’d go with the original. Know full well that the pacing of the original show is a little all over the place, ranging from way to slow to stupidly fast on a whim. However, the writing is better than the new show (imo), the direction is awesome and ultimately the journey of the story is complete and concise. You’ll definitely feel like you want more by the end, which is how you want a show to be.
Stampede is new, but it suffers from some poor pacing decisions and bad writing. It takes the manga and condences the plot points majorly while adding some of their own. It’s not terrible, but I’d argue the characters feel a bit like paper standee versions of themselves due to how little development they’ve given the characters and how quickly they went through critical story beats.
So I’d watch the original and then read the manga. Once you read the manga, you’ll know what to expect from the characters and then the writing issues of stampede become a bit less of a problem (though still annoying imo)

- Comment on [Episode] TRIGUN STARGAZE - Episode 4 discussion 3 weeks 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 4 weeks 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.

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 [deleted] 5 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 [deleted] 5 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 [deleted] 5 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 [deleted] 5 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.
- Comment on Latest Episode Discussion Threads Index 5 weeks ago:
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 5 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 ? 1 month 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 ? 1 month 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.
