freamon

I watched Jurassic World: Rebirth the other day (it's alright). It's such an odd franchise - one that seems to have lost faith in its own premise. There's this meta assumption that audiences are bored with dinosaurs (I'm not), and that the solution to this imagined problem is to mutate them (it really isn't, it's invariably just silly).

I also don't care that dinos couldn't really survive in the modern climate - that's what the whole 'suspension of disbelief' thing is for.

Nope. I don't agree with cm0002's campaign of reposting everything posted to a lemmy.ml community to a community hosted elsewhere, so I don't want to run a bot that suggests there's genuine growth somewhere when I consider any growth there to be driven by bullshit. The bot was never sophisticated enough to distinguish between the two.

I'm not on vacation - I just tend to use this account instead.

It ended up being more of a proof-of-concept than anything. I forked Thunder by banging my fists on the keyboard until it worked, rather than actually learn anything about Flutter/Dart or proper app development. As soon as another Flutter app came along (Interstellar), I leapt at the chance to abandon it.

afaik Andrew approves new registrations but mostly does coding?

You originally added me so I could debug stuff based on the status incoming activities, which isn't really relevant anymore.

That isn't my primary account atm, so I don't really do any other admin stuff. That said, it might be an idea to keep some permissions in place for that account, so I can help out in case there's a spam wave when it's night time in NZ or something.

Little mortarboard for the dick too (they must get 'em made specially).

Your link is broken.

It's probably not worth editing (vs. deleting), 'cos the video is also linked to in !games@lemmy.world, !gaming@lemmy.ml and again in this community too (a minute after you).

Am trying the app now. Nice to see that the crosspost opens the local version of it (instead of taking you away to the remote version like the web site does).

Is this where that happens?

Yeah. That function is for adding instances as they are encountered. Your dev server won't initially know about any other instances ('trusted' or not), but as soon as it engages with anything from 'piefed.social', then it will get added to the instance list and the 'trusted' flag will be set to True

piefed.social is hard-coded in the source as a 'trusted instance', so other PieFed instances won't ever send votes to it using alternative profiles. Untrusted instances that receive traffic from PieFed instances will end up generating one row for the main user, and one row for the alt user. It's typically only one extra row (per user), but I think that unticking and ticking 'Vote privately' in settings generates a new random username for the alt everytime, so it could end up being more.

Dept. Q on Netflix is pretty good - it's one of those 'modern Sherlock & Holmes get their own department in a disused basement to investigate cold cases' type shows.
