We dodged a bullet there.

It’s in the “video” link at the start, which goes here (although prepare to be underwhelmed).

Indeed. If you invent your own protocol you would have to make it easy to set-up an instance and there should be a good reason why you’d want to. As it doesn’t and there isn’t, either some very clever people are very bad at their job or this is the point.

As most Bluesky users don’t care (they’re just grateful for somewhere like Xitter they can go to) I don’t really see much coming of this aspect but, if any regulators pull them up for any issues it is always there as a Get Out of Jail Free card - we can’t be anticompetitive because we have federation (swap “anticompetitive” for whatever enshittification shenanigans they come up with further down the line).

Johnson concluded: “Of course, I knew he was right, and I secretly agreed with what they all thought, but did not want to say aloud: that the whole thing was nuts.”

His first clue should have been that it was his idea.

Damn, sold.

This is clearly the start of a horror movie where the owner realises these are trophies from bizarre murders and that she has a were-cat in her house.

I don’t know about prog dev, but Lemmy instances are fairly cheap to run, see this thread https://lemmy.world/post/19466047

It’s more expensive than a Lemmy Instance and with less opportunity to build a community that would help fund it.

I don’t think they liked it.

Is it wrong that this kinda makes me want to watch it more?

“Hi, I’d like Swedish meatballs and some Ben Wa balls, please.”

“So that’s one battered sausage and a CBT device”

“Following an ‘incident’ we are legally obliged to remind customers not to mix up the jumbo sausage and the double-ended dildo.”

Just Eat Out.

There aren’t many remakes where you think “well that is overdue”.

The only ones I am looking forward to are Edgar Wright’s Running Man and Barbarella but they are technically re-adaptations.

Well that didn’t take long.

Babies in knees is one thing but an ab Messiah?

I always enjoy a bit of peri-apocalypse (the start of the Dawn of the Dead remake is nerve-wracking - thanks James Gunn) and one-shot scenes really ramp up the tension when done right (looking at you Children of Men). So combine the two and I’m sold.

Nein danke.

I’ve usually completed Lemmy by lunch so it’s hard to get addicted.

“You’ve thrilled to Axe/Wolf/Scanner/Samurai/Cyborg Cop, you’ve been revolted by Fist of Jesus, you are looking forward to Jesus Cop. Now brace yourself for Lethal Christ.”

That’s the porn parody.

Will this do? I have more where that came from.
