Thanks for the info!

I noticed this post on Mastodon, wanted to open it in the threadiverse, which nowadays I usually do through Piefed.social.

Copied link
In Piefed, Search > Retrieve remote post
"Post not found". Me: what? Did the author or mod delete it already???
Clicked on the link to try, it opened on the native instance (lemmy.world) just fine! Neither author nor mod has deleted it. I read the article.
After, I investigate a bit more. On Piefed.social, I am subscribed to !fediverse@lemmy.world , I can open that /c & can see posts there. But not this post. It's missing.
Come to my Lemmy instance (lemmy.ca) with Alex front-end, confirm I can see the post from here. Twice even.

So why can't I see it on Piefed.social??? Can I not rely on Piefed.social? Censorship, or just an innocent federation issue?

That final fight with Ken Lo is simply astounding and why I just rewatched DM2. There's a video breaking it down as the best fight scene of all time (it took four months to shoot).

So I watched the whole film again last night. An absolute delight.

In hindsight, that could look a bit like a corpse, so let me say that's Jackie Chan in Drunken Master 2 (1994) and his character there is alive. Just passed out after a night of heavy drinking, after which the baddies humiliated him by leaving him like this.

Just noticed the the text colour I chose is the same as that of his teeth. :D

Well, that timeline has already been derailed.

Viewing above in Lemmy (Alexandrite), still no sound, although a small plus symbol appears when I hover over "orion".

Maybe nominate it for #Monsterdon and show it to dozens/hundreds of people at once. (Live cast on https://miru.miyaku.media/ )

Looking here, it doesn't seem to have been shown yet.

I like it rather than love it, but wow! 16%!

Lost River (2015)

I went into it with zero knowledge or expectation and was held by it from beginning to end (even when I knew it was blatantly emulating David Lynch etc, I didn't care, I was gripped). Only to look it up online afterwards and find out that critics and viewers kind of hate it.

IMDb: 5.6
RT tomatometer: 30%
RT popcornmeter: 38%

Saw that whole special a few year ago. Love him.

Ricky Gervais.

Liked him ~ The Office, Extras, podcast period, even some of his Golden Globes hosting, but now I find his "edginess" and mugging grating.

Used computers at school (BBC B), uni and work (beige PCs); and had video game consoles (Intellivision, NES, Atari Jaguar, 3DO, Philips CD-i, etc) but didn't my own first home computer until relatively late, bought in 2000.

A Dell Inspiron 7500 "desktop-replacement" laptop, with:

15-inch 1400x1050 screen (shit hot back then, still higher resolution than many laptops today),
6GB HDD
Intel Mobile Pentium CPU (can't remember exact specs)
128MB RAM (a significantly expensive extra back then)
ATI Rage Mobility M graphics
Windows 98 SE (I tried out BeOS R5 PE on it, so much more stable but the only available graphics driver could only give 800x640)

And I've been cleaning out my mum's shoddily built shed and just found it in this sorry state!

The hinge was always super stiff, and after 4-5 years snapped. I kept it alive for a while by rigging up some brackets to hold the screen. Eventually I put it away, and after a few moves it ended up stored at my mum's. Now wIth a fair bit of opossum crap on and around it, and rainwater from the leaky shed roof.

I wonder if there are still any episodes of The Sopranos downloaded from Dalnet IRC on it.

Do you have a goatee? Because putting that image in our heads is truly evil. :)

We got chips one day. One day out of the whole lot.

This will be the biggest nail in the coffin of the Lido Corfu Sun Hotel management in their crimes against humanity trial.

NEVER FORGET!
