Ah, no. Sadly not. It installed okay, but just presents a big white window when I ran it. The OS version is BigSur (the highest that machine will run).

I doubt it's an Issue you'll need to prioritise, 'cos others in my position have likely just installed Linux instead.

Looks great! Is there any info about what architecture / OS versions are supported for Mac? The only Apple hardware I have is a 12 year old MacBook Air (I realise I could just download it and find out, but that would involve me getting up off the sofa). Thanks.

Last I read, the admin who was a day late in paying Sav for the renewal was actually able to transfer the domain to a different registrar (PorkBun) before Sav's auction of the domain was complete. This maneuver was either something that Sav's auction designers hadn't anticipated, or the auction was compromised because the main bidder (j_s_) was a hexbear user who'd found a way to make unauthenticated bids.

At any rate, I don't think they paid thousands for it.

I'd be surprised if he used anything like his natural accent - American voices seem to be against the rules for fantasy shows (though there's probably exceptions I'm not thinking of).

Awesome - I had hoped that the release schedule would fit with the show's structure, but I wasn't optimistic 'cos the streamers usually want more than a month's sign-up to view a season.

It'll be like getting a film a week, so hopefully there isn't too much 'previously on' gunk. I'm unlikely to be the only one who's planning to re-edit the eps into films anyway.

Am watching it for Aimee Lou Wood (the toughest foe a Walton Googins character has ever faced).

Not so bothered by the 'family of wankers', or the passive-aggressive bitchiness of Carrie Coon's gang, but we'll see. This show does the impressive trick of making unrelatable, unlikeable people entertaining.

Thought that thumbnail was a joke when I first saw it, like someone had pasted Luna's head on Mon's husband's body. Still looks a bit off, but I guess it's a "you walk in, act like you belong" reference.

All I need now is for someone to make it April 22nd already. By science or magic, I'm not fussed.

No, you're right. It's just how it sounds with Sanders' distinct accent.

For stuff about films, I like 'Thomas Flight' and 'Like Stories Of Old'. LSOO has just released a video about Gladiator II that I'm going to watch in a bit (I'm hoping he hated it as much as I did!)

Interstellar is an app for both MBIN and Lemmy, and the dev has said that they'd be interested in adding PieFed too when the API is stable. There's likely other apps that cater to more than one subset of the Fediverse (e.g. Mastodon + PeerTube or something), but unlikely to be one that covers the full thing.

Yes. PieFed federates with Lemmy, but in much the same way that it federates with MBIN, or PeerTube, or NodeBB. Federation is about the relationship between servers, using a common protocol (ActivityPub) to communicate. A mobile app like voyager is concerned about the relationship between a client and server, who communicate using something they've both agreed on (Lemmy's V3 API in this case). PieFed can't implement Lemmy's V3 API (for a whole bunch of reasons), so mobile apps have to use PieFed's own API to communicate with it (which is what I'm doing right now, as I write this comment).

Typically, if you see that one person is being banned from a bunch of communities at the same time, it just means that they are being banned from the instance.

If an admin wants to ban one of their own users, it's a single activity that's federated out, but if they want to ban a remote user, the only way it can be done under the current system is for every community that the banned person has interacted with to ban them. It's an automatic process, triggered by the admin pressing one button once. (it's not a perfect solution, because nothing prevents the banned user interacting with other communities, at least as far as their local instance is concerned).
