Thank you for the explanation! What you say makes complete sense, I agree :)

 

I suppose it's only films, but I wanted to ask, just to make sure. Some TV series are works of art, with amazing frames. The series Severance, for example, has extremely beautiful shooting and frames.

Moderators: feel free to delete this post – sorry for the outlier! But maybe a "films only" can be added in the sidebar?

 

An endearing and even moving short clip of Buster singing "June Night" and "Casey Jones".

Will check it out!

 

IrfanView is a great piece of software for Windows. One of those "jack of all trades, master of none". It works as a simple image & video viewer and browser, can do simple and not-so-simple image manipulation, and even batch jobs, like conversion, on selections of images in folders.

For Linux (and other platforms) there's XnView MP that offers extremely similar functionalities.

 

In the past two days I've been trying to create a community, but without success. I insert the name (with the allowed characters), the display name, and so on. But when I click on create a spinning wheel appears for a second or two, then goes back to create and nothing has happened. I created two communities previously (10 days ago or so) without problems.

I imagine it's just an effect of the current load for Lemmy.world, but wanted to ask just in case.

Unfortunately I didn't enjoy the 1st season, just like other commenters here. A preliminary reason could be that the story is very different from the book, which is one of my most favourite sci-fi books ever. But even simply seeing this series as something different from the book, if found it too cheap: the characters are half-stereotypes, the events are what you'd expect, usual blood and sex to attract viewers...

Should go without saying, just my personal opinion and tastes. I'm happy that others enjoyed the series and I hope it'll made them curious to read the books.

Reborn as a Vending Machine... (static.next-episode.net)

This starts tomorrow. The premise is really one of a kind. I'm very curious to see how they pull this off!

You gotta hand it to Ten-chan's spaceship. And it can warp of course.

For those who loved Person of Interest: at the moment I'm watching Forever and it's giving me similar feelings as Person of Interest did. It's a bit of a vague statement, I know, but I can't really put my finger on what or why. Just give it a try if you haven't already. The background story is different, but many elements feel very similar.

Curious to know if anyone else see some similarities and can actually flesh them out concretely.

Yes this is the community with most subscribers I've found so far. I'm interested in a community where manga are discussed, recommended, and so on. At the moment the vast majority of the posts here ("[DISC]" – does that stand for Discord?) seems to be about announcements of new chapters, and I wonder if they're taking over a bit too much. Maybe it's possible to create a community specifically for announcements? Or any other solutions? – Only if other members share my point of view as well, of course.

 

I'm moving from the [email protected] community, which seems to be focused more on new-chapter announcements than manga discussion and recommendations.

But I wonder if this is actually the goal of this community. Moderators: would it be possible to add some description on the community sidebar? Cheers!

 

I was wondering whether this community focuses on discussing and recommending manga, or mostly on "manga announce" instead, from the majority of the posts I'm seeing. The sidebar doesn't give much information.

NB: just in case I'm being misread, this is not a criticism! Just trying to understand whether I'm interested in subscribing or not.

It sure isn't finished. Cats are purrfectionists.

...Or actually I don't know. Maybe the cat has lost interest in that masterpiece and has started on another one somewhere else... Spread the damage.

Cheers, that was my problem I think, lack of patience. Thank you for the heads up, I'll start it again!

Possibly another problem is that it's a translation. The language or way of writing is nothing special.

Thank you for the heads-up. I only read two chapters from the book and was put off somehow. I imagine it gets better?

Many members of this community are computer users who recently moved to Linux from other OSs, Windows in particular. Having established their work and hobbies on a particular software base, they often encounter difficulties trying to find similar software on Linux.

I'd like this to be a sort of board where members comment about some software alternative they're looking for, and other members sub-comment with possible solutions.

What's a solution? It's important to be broad-minded about this when switching to Linux:

  • Exactly the same software could be available for Linux.

  • Different software but with similar critical features could be available for Linux.

  • It could be possible to use emulators (such as Wine) of the old OS.

  • Finally, one can change one's perspective or workflow, in such a way that the old software is not needed any longer, but is replaced with other software of a different kind (this may actually lead to much improved workflows).

(Moderators: feel free to take over this post. Also please let me know if a similar board exists already here, so I delete this.)

1.5+ years is a long time... It'll be good to rewatch season 1 right before. I share your worries.

 

...at least for X1 Extreme.

 

Today Fanfox.net seem to be offline. Anyone knows more about this?
