Was there any more clarification on whether this instance would "defederate" from Meta? I remember reading about it ~5 months ago and posting a general query. IIRC the response was "we'll cross that bridge if/when we get to it".

I only have very basic knowldge of how the fediverse works, but does this mean Meta (Threads) is connected on lemmy ?

Because humans introducing species to new environments always goes well ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

This sucks, my 10 yr old dog is 2/3 of the way through a 9kg bag ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ Update: I was able to swap it for a new 9kg bag. Our original bag wasn't affected by mould luckily

Enshittification strikes again

"But the system is broken. Audiences are dumber. Normal people donโ€™t go through reviews like they used to. Rotten Tomatoes is something the studios can game. So they do.โ€

Seems like alot of people agree with your take. Despite its flaws, viewers found it and the sequel entertaining. I can't see it working as a novel though.

Jake Sully has no personality other than being mystified by the world.

Agree, and his purpose is to introduce us to the alien world. Him becoming a leader is one aspect that didnt sit right with me. He didn't earn enough goodwill to do that. Its just trust the superior humanoid, because he did something my great grandfather did.

Your friends not wrong. The link with european arrival in north and south america was intentional for the film.

This week i've decided to rewatch the avatar films on blu ray. I picked up the special editions with the 3 hours worth of extras for each film. I've rewatched the first film and some extras. I'm a casual fan at best and by no means a movie critic, but here arey impressions.

The first avatar film has aged well. I enjoy the world of pandora and it is beautiful on blu ray. The details in the plants are incredible. A botanist that consulted on the film is featured in the bonus content.

I still get the sense that this could of been a two part film, with the first part ending with the destruction of the home tree. Then there would of been space go explore the na'vi tribes before the battle.

I watched the family audio version with english subtitles. The audio creatively removed the swears, but the subtitles didn't.

The bonus features had the main actors reflecting on their experiences making the film and their reflections on its success. They all played their characters brilliantly, and I was surprisingly impressed by Stephen Langs take on playing Quaritch.

Edit: Also after someone pointing this out, I can see the similatities with Fern Gully (which happens to be the first film I watched in theatre.)

I'm looking forward to rewatching way of the water, as I streamed it for the first watch.

Yes I've read that snowpiercer s4 is completed but there's no word on which network will air it ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Enjoy DS9!

 

So whats everyone watching on Thursday (nights) now that SNW has wrapped up? I'm looking for recommendations

Edit: I'm currently watching outlander, waiting for the wheel of time s2, DISCO and snowpiercer s4

 

Housework has been a longtime struggle for me. Its one of those things that makes overwhelm seem more overwhelming. I have been using a cleaning podcast ~11months. Just throwing it on in and doing what I can when i have the energy to has transformed my confidence in the ability to deal with my space. Even if its just to get started on the essentials. I hope this helps someone

Triggered today (startrek.website)

I am experiencing a trigger. The difference is, I have more awareness now. Before my diagnosis, I didn't understand why I reacted to things the way that I do. I can remind myself to be gentle, slow down and take it easy. Breathe. It WILL pass.

Such a blow for a BI4Ler. When budget allows I always pick up physical media of my favourite movies and shows.

 

Uggh. As somene who collects physical media this is devastating. Hoping other studios don't follow suit.
