It's probably best to keep the first +1 for your own post or comment, as that's what's expected from people's experience on other platforms, and that's how it will appear on platforms that the content has federated to. Whether a user's reputation score should give them an additional and visible +1 is debateable, but PieFed might be stuck with that decision now.

It's usually best to given 'em the benefit of the doubt, as a bad performance by a child actor is often more due to the director than the kid.

The show runner for Mad Men cast his own son as 'Glen', and that kid was a terrible actor (he's an adult now obvs, so I consider his performance fair game for criticism).

I don't think that blog author is male, btw.

Lemmy logs its outgoing federation activity (rotating every 7 days I think), but not their incoming activity. That was a PieFed feature to aid debugging and development (I say 'was' because it's not enabled by default anymore - you have to add LOG_ACTIVITYPUB_TO_DB = True to .env to get it back).

Nothing currently exists to help migrate DBs. Not yet anyway (other Lemmy admins have also expressed an interest in changing over).

This show was a bit more kitchen-sinky than shows I'd normally watch - it reminded me a bit of stuff by Ken Loach or Mike Leigh, but I liked Adolescence a lot more than their films (even though I realise that their output is highly regarded).

I've seen a fair bit of negativity about it in these kinds of online spaces, so I imagine that I'm going against the grain by saying that I'd recommend it. It's best to know as little about it as possible beforehand though - not just about the story beats, but also don't buy into the hype about it and expect too much of it.

It's harder to detect, but wildly optimistic if they think that people are going to manually type URLs out. It feels like this latest manoeuvre is just to score a win in the arms race against them.

The point (to the extent there was one) was to move past any gender-role discussion and accept the picture at face value. Even when it's cold, I've found that it has to be really cold to not find too many layers on my legs to be oppressive after any amount of activity.

Seems like a lot of layers on part of the body that doesn't typically need it (skirt + tights + socks feels like a good way to overheat).

A journey on Northern Rail won't actually kill you, but it might make you consider if death would've been a more preferable experience.

I think that's what he meant, yeah (no existing DB migration scripts, etc). I don't know much about it, but I imagine it was probably always going to involve someone more familiar with Lemmy diving into the trenches.
