It isn't just me then. It's quite something for the main account of Netflix to come out with such a message about an actress who I think is amazing: "she's an icon, she's a legend, and she IS the moment."

Happy Birthday @jennaortega!

Jenna Ortega is a great actress you know from You, The Babysitter: Killer Queen, Yes Day and will know from The Fallout, Scream and of course Wednesday where she plays the Wednesday Addams. I hope she has a great day!

@Jenna Ortega

With so many streaming services being American only, being a fan is often like this:

actress to her worldwide audience: I'm in a new show!
we the fans: yay!
actress: it's on paramount+! (or hulu, or hbomax, or ...)
we: oh. well, have fun. tell us how it was. can somebody make screencaps?

While it used to be in the olden days of broadcast television:

actress: i can't talk about any new project yet, it's a big secret
(months go by)
pr for new show: show x will star your favs and begins tomorrow!
(much fanfare. appearances on all talk shows)
non-us fans: we are geo-blocked, why?
some faq: all countries want to have their own control over how and when to release and market, so there are separate licence agreements
(years go by)
some local tv station: *broadcasts show in complete silence so we all miss it*
(meanwhile)
amazon: no, we are not allowed to ship this dvd to your country

I've upgraded to Friendica 2021.09 and followed some accounts I was already following over on my Pleroma, but who were on Mastodon servers federation was broken with in the previous Friendica.

As we're getting ready for the S3 release of @YouNetflix on 15 October, I'm eagerly scanning all clues they post on social media for any sign of Ellie / @jennaortega returning in season three. None so far...

Though Ellie could be wearing the baseball cap of invisibility...

Part of the outcrowd.

Not eating mac-and-cheese but mac-and-cordon-blue.

Weightlifting, but only lifting my own weight. I.e. standing up.

Odd bot.

So when you quote share a photo from this bot with a slightly complaint-like message, it just sends you a new photo. Maybe hoping you like that one better.

It must be a really odd life being a model.

That went fine and is running smoothly. All memory that became available by removing the db got claimed by the app processes almost immediately. Almost like one of those concrete walls soaking up fresh paint.

Now wondering why loading/proxying remote images locks up everything.

That problem seems to have gone away. Also, I have increased the size of the swapfile after top reporting 2MiB RAM left and 0.3MiB free swap size. But magically that problem went away.

So the Moon is just hanging there in the sky, like gravity doesn't exist?

So apparently the National Diversity Awards are going on in the UK tonight. Their twitter handle is "@ndawards". I misread that and thought they were giving out awards for the most cunningly drafted NDAs. I wondered how that works with the rather related secrecy and all that.

I shouldn't have switched that worker daemon back on. It is only inventing more work for itself.

I apologise to Google for searching Kubernetes stuff all day. The pod, node, volume, whatever, hosting that part of their index must be overheating red hot by now. But I guess I learned something. And at the end of the day I didn't even misspell it that often anymore.

Why is #YouTube so broken today? It looks like they're testing a new feature ('shorts') but for me it means that I can no longer play half the videos people recently uploaded. #DesignatedCanary

Also nice of Friendica that when there are two reasons for collapsing a post, e.g. a content warning and a detected language, it makes a bulleted list of it.

Wow, after a year of checking whether it is available and now S7 is near its release in the US, #FearTheWalkingDead season 6 is finally on Prime Video. Excited, because it's a season with #AlyciaDebnamCarey, #AlexaNisenson and #KarenDavid.

Nice, Friendica has side-blog functionality quite similar to Tumblr. It's not called side-blogs of course...

I'm following this series because of Alycia Debnam-Carey, Alexa Nisenson and Karen David. I started watching it because Karen would be in it from S5. I could watch everything at a leisurely pace before S5 was even available. Alycia was in it from S1 and a new discovery for me. Especially from S2 onwards she plays a very powerful character. Then in S4 Alexa is introduced, originally in a guest role, but she impresses so much with her multilayered performance that she will still be there in S7. I hadn't seen her before, but I now know it's worth following her career as well.

I was in a bookshop today and felt a bit sorry for the writer sitting alone behind a table waiting for fans to turn up to have their books signed. Not sorry enough to go up to the table and ask who they were, though.

I'm a bit confused about how photo privacy works in Friendica. But confused in a good way.

You basically upload photos into your photo collection, which may contain private and public photos. When uploading photos via the post editor for a private post, the photos are set as private, for a public post they are set as public; it doesn't present the separate permissions form of the normal photo uploader. Great.

But here's the mystery: if you forget to set the post to private, then upload the photo, only then switch the post to private, you would expect the photo to be uploaded as public. But somehow Friendica knows what you wanted and protects you: my test shows that such a photo is marked as private anyway!

You'll probably also find that if you upload a photo into a post but never finish the post, the photo will be visible only to you - because we never assume that it was meant to be public. I'm certain the actual code is much different now, but that's the way I wrote it originally.

So this apparently needs being stated as some think it's not obvious and some think especially men may have a different opinion: abortion is a right, abortion is healthcare and in a functioning society everybody has access to abortion care.

Also, men have their part to play in preventing abortions at the source.

But what I don't understand about the current American situation is how when 8 in 10 people there support access to abortion and it's a democracy with 50% of the voters men and 50% women, a policy that is such a war on women can be voted in by a democratic institution, and upheld by a court appointed by democratic institutions. Something is wrong in the way people are represented.

Instagram is being a bit like Eventually-a-gram for me at the moment.

That edit button is quickly becoming the killer feature of Friendica in my book.

The past will come back to haunt u (and comment on ur parenting abilities)

A teaser for season three of You where the season two cast comments on the recent baby name reveal. Great to see #JennaOrtega promoting #YouNetflix S3. This doesn't mean she'll be in it, after all most other S2 characters in this clip have died already...

To me Twitter's way of handling link previews makes a lot of sense and is the way you expect it to work as a user. From my recollection what Twitter does is:

  • Consider the last url-like text for a link preview
  • If that doesn't have a twitter card or open graph tags, check the previous url, etc
  • If the previewed url text is the last text of the post, don't show that text
  • If the post contains a photo or video attachment, don't show a link preview at all, only show the media

I think the way posts are presented on the #fediverse could be improved by using these rules. With one extra addition:

  • If an attachment is also present within the post (activitypub posts are html, so that is quite possible), don't show the attachment at the end of the post.

The question whether the sending or receiving server should resolve the link to load the preview is solved by the fourth rule. Most platforms load the preview themselves upon receiving a post, but if a sending server includes it anyway, that rule causes the receiver to skip that step.
