The short answer is that you have to ask blahaj.zone to resolve it. lemmy.ml has it as post id 11470168, but it'll be different for other instances - whatever the next number was in their database when the post was announced.

You get different answers depending on whether you're logged in or not though.
From endlesstalk.org, I can search for that post in the web-ui: Communities -> paste the post url into Search -> Change the Type from 'communities' to 'posts'
Alternatively, using the API, I can resolve it with
curl --header 'accept: application/json' --header 'authorization: Bearer MY_LOGIN_TOKEN' https://endlesstalk.org/api/v3/resolve_object?q=https://lemmy.ml/post/11470168

I'm not logged into blahaj.zone though, so it won't resolve it. The web-ui only gives me this post as one that mentions the thing I'm searching for, and the API returns 'not found'

Replayed Uncharted 4 for the millionth time. Now on The Lost Legacy. Not enjoying it as much (it's harder, for one thing). Interesting to see the developments that would go into The Last of Us 2 though (e.g. experiments with more open-world levels, and the attempt to redeem a character that's previously been portrayed as a villain).

This was cross-posted from a lemmy community ([email protected]) that's sort-of bridging lemmy and mastodon. If you're on lemmy.world, they'll already be a post you can visit, to upvote and respond to the original author of the comic, if you wish. If you're not on an instance that's brought [email protected] in yet, it can be done so in the usual way, of course.

(edit: just tried this on a different instance. lemmy being lemmy means you might have to refresh a couple of times after clicking the ! link, but that's nothing unusual)

That starwars community is dead, Jim. It's [email protected] that has the activity.

I'm now privileged to have seen my reward - only for 60 seconds though obvs. An evil version of this site would offer a gif that lasts 70 seconds ...

It's how I get my nutrients

I think after the Dredd debacle, Garland has directed all his own movies, so it'll be interesting to see another one written by him but directed by Boyle.

It's guaranteed to be worse: TV episodes are completely structured around whether the creators expect ads, and where in the runtime the ad will be (so they can resolve or tease a plot point before them).

The addition of ads, or having more ad breaks than the original transmitter of a show had, will break the structure.

And then of course there's the 'Spotify question': are these ads genuinely supporting a subscription, or are they there to annoy you into paying for one by disrupting the flow of an episode as much as possible?

I bought a Cisco enterprise router and switch (2nd hand) - the level of available configuration is great but the noise of the fans started to do my head in. I need to figure out how to get them wired up somewhere I can't hear them all the time.

If you're wanting everyone to agree with how bad something is, that's another way people want this place to be like Reddit, I guess. 4000 comments, only one acceptable opinion.

I've heard rumblings of dissatisfaction with the show, but it's not a rabbit hole I'm keen to go down. Since there's not much else on at minute, it's tricky to distinguish genuine criticism from the opportunism of dunking on something popular for the algorithm boost.

It's clear from its title that it's as much its own show set in the TD universe as it a genuinely new season. It hints at some overlap - Rust's dad, the Tuttle foundation, places out of time and ancient evils - but it's equally invested in the legacy of Clarice Starling and it's own spooky weirdness.

Episode 3 hinted at development problems - the kind of plot intricacies that every show struggles with, and is dependent on how invested viewers are as to whether they forgive them or not. But nothing so far that suggests it warrants a pile-on of negativity.

Oh cool - Carrie Coon's in this (though the trailer doesn't feature her much). Was mad seeing her in a Gone Girl rewatch after finishing the latest Gilded Age season - she's got an impressive range.

Would've thought so, unless they're wanting to add time jumps backwards as well as forwards.
