If you want lemmy to work well, speak with /u/sunaurus@lemm.ee, he’ll sort you out. Dude is a legend and runs the best instance, IMO, but is always willing to help other instances.

Book of Mormon

Dum dum dum dum dummm

Yes there are, it’s one of Jesus’ teachings.

My go to phrase for Mormons is something like “I believe that, if there is a God, he wouldn’t be so vain as to require constant worship, and instead he would just want us to ‘live in his image’”.

It’s fun watching the cogs turn in their heads when you say something like that.

Trump supporters are a minority, so I think this checks out.

Completely aside but Diego Luna (the actor who plays Andor) always looks like :<

Oooo waiting for the spicy comments. There was a few breakdowns of this, complete with more accurate memes, the last time I saw this posted.

Moderators don’t own the community, but they own the community address - they have absolute control over it and can set the rules. If the community don’t like that, they’re free to move to a new address and make their own, with blackjack and hookers, etc.

The admin owns the instance, which in turn can overrule the moderators. If the community don’t like that, they’re free to move to a new instance, with blackjack and hookers, etc.

Basically the whole system was set up so everyone will eventually have blackjack and hookers.

That’s my go to, FOSS app that rivals the major apps.

There are other podcast apps on F-Droid also.

Data collection is theft. Every one of us is being robbed at least $50 per year. That’s how Facebook and Google are worth billions.

WhoBIRD has been working well for me. Doesn’t have the visual ID stuff that Merlin has, but it’s FOSS and identifies by sound, based on location and time of year.

Granted, I don’t know enough to know when it’s wrong, and I bet it’s not great for identifying rare birds, but it’s fun.

Paywall :/

There are extensions for that.

This is just another attempt at establishing a new status quo for other social media before Twitter dies a death due to the insurmountable debt that Musk’s purchase saddled it with. We’ve had a bunch of things tried, so far the only thing that stuck was charging for API access (which reddit soon adopted). Let’s not have this as well, please.

…in The Wire and Luther.

Nahh both of those were crap. Taking original characters and portraying them with worn out stereotype tropes.

Knuckles simply does not sound nor act right. Looking at it now, reportedly his original plan for the character was far worse. He’s just not that good of an actor. Elba was good in The Wire and Luther, but his other roles are primarily trading on the popularity from those.

Edit: More to the point about the way Knuckles acts, he’s been Flanderised, diluted down into worn out dumb strong guy character tropes and then amplified. I really don’t like that. /Edit

But then, given that we’re in a thread excited about Keanu Reeves taking a role, I’m probably preaching to the wrong crowd. Reeves is an amazing person and a great action movie star, but action movies don’t exactly require much acting, either. He gets a pass though because he’s such an awesome dude. Elba’s a bit of a sell out.

You had so many words to say and you got almost some of them right!

Now? They’ve always been playing whack-a-mole against third party apps.

Better casting than Idris Elba, at least.

Ohhhh crazy I didn’t realise that’s who he was! I thought he was just some random Asian dude who had popped into Hollywood prominence with Loki and Everything Everywhere. He’s even more of a gem than I thought!
