As much as I appreciate the effort the DoJ made to spare us from seeing Trump’s ugly face, I wish they’d make a more holistic effort for the cause. Why not put him away for good.

There are movies to be made where it makes sense to strive for historical accuracy, bit I’m not sure the Odyssey is one of them. It was always a spectacular tale.

The most generic looking Greek armour *with dangling golden spines attached

Yeah, fair point about the horse hairs at least. But I also can’t help but feel like people might have had all kinds of strange ideas about how they want things to look in the past, and a lot of it would probably surprise us if we had the chance to go back and check. So I still struggle to see things like this as genuinely upsetting. Had it been a proper blunder like imitating a roman armour or something I would have agreed much more, but taking some creative license with what ancient Greece looked like I feel should be expected.

I’m not a historian of ancient Greek armature, but if I were to fasten a bunch of horse hair to stand up like a Mohawk on top of a helmet chances are I would drill a bunch of holes of roughly .5 cm diameter systematically throughout hardwood base and stuff each hole as full of hairs as I possibly could. It would probably come out looking something like a shoe brush.

Of course, I have no idea how they were made; again, I’m not a historian. I just don’t see what is so obviously machine made here. On the contrary, I would be surprised if this helmet wasn’t in fact custom made by hand by the costume department. It would be very unlike Nolan to buy a mass produced Halloween costume from China.

I feel like it would be pretty bland and uninteresting without it. The golden spine makes it interesting. Presumably it might make sense after watching the movie.

I can’t wait for people to freak out about the lack of historical accuracy, as they always do whenever they see anything at all in a movie set before 1850.

I’m probably just not cultivated enough in the refined world of internet memes, but this comes across as “girls are noobs hurr durr”

I found their roadmap for 2026 to be pretty inspiring.

I see the mouse is still at it.

I think instances with ideological underpinnings is fine, and maybe inevitable. The crucial thing is that they need to be honest about it, so that those not interested can go elsewhere.

The problem with lemmy.ml is that it pretends to be a catch-all instance when it’s in fact very much not, and that it doesn’t tell users up front what it’s all about. Both Hexbear and Lemmygrad are better in that respect—at least they’re honest.

The admins over there have some profoundly questionable views, which tends to push away reasonable people and attract bootlickers.

The problem is not the users as much as the site itself and its admins. I wish reasonable people (not bootlickers) would stop using lemmy.ml and go somewhere better. Lemmy.ml’s biggest function right now is to scare away good people who would have been happy elsewhere.

Welcome!

Bob Dylan once proclaimed that who is not busy being born is busy dying. You’ll probably find us busy being born over here, but I consider that to be a good thing. We’re very happy to have you here helping us out with it. :)

One small thing to be aware of is that app support is a little more recent in PieFed than in Lemmy, so while the apps work well (I had good experiences with Voyager), some nice PieFed features that exist in the browser might be missing from the apps (for now).

The apps are still great, but it makes me personally prefer it as a web app for now. :)

Did enjoy reading the comment, thanks for sharing.

We have tractors over here in Europe, but our farms are also quite different. Maybe a compromise would be to allow American trucks, but only if they are registered as tractors with corresponding max speeds on public roads and highway bans.

Fucking hell Mozilla. What became of you.

Who are the fools supporting this shit. If you want to support a better internet, Servo and Bonfire are two good examples of worthier causes.

My impression from some of the women in my life is that Linkedin becomes a whack-a-mole game of “creep or contact”. You’re kind of supposed to accept connections with people you don’t know because of professional reasons, but many of them are weirdos, and being accomplished in the same field as yourself is far from a guarantee that they won’t turn out to be gigantic creeeps.

Man. Fuck LinkedIn and whatever sociatal pressures that made people think it’s even a remotely acceptale platform.

Ah shoot, I didn’t catch that. Didn’t know about the Linux Foundation Europe at all actually.

Linux Foundation Europe provides a neutral, trusted hub

I feel like it’s too rare I see such direct responses from organizations realizing America is failing.

I’m not sure if Servo can really be considered European, given that it’s under the Linux Foundation which has headquarters in California?

That said, I love following the project. I’m writing this post from Servo 0.0.2 on Fedora, and for a site like Piefed it really seems to be performing quite well.

Anyone who wants to toke it for a spin on Linux just needs to download the zip, unpack it, and double click the file named Servo. Make sure to enable experimental features by clicking the icon in the top right corner of the window.
