Cuz Doga Kobo is a good reason to watch something :D

Koyan visited quickly and I picked up 2 Doumans when I wanted none from GSSR so I guess it's a wash :/

One of the great things about lemmy.world's insane user count growth is actual live stress testing of Lemmy software. Instead of having an open question of how Lemmy might scale with large instances, there's now real world production systems providing that opportunity.

The technical issues will pass, but the notion that merely spreading out the load will alleviate them is probably just treating the symptom than the cause.

I suppose from my PoV I see this as very much live testing in production and have adjusted my expectations around that instead of anticipating a wholly seamless experience.

Included in a recent build. Thanks!

In many cases it's a numbers game. Not a bad idea to connect with old colleagues or acquaintances, or to network with current or recent ones.

The unfortunate reality is the job market is kind of awful right now, insofar as the experience is for someone looking, so you run better odds leveraging who you know.

Specialized job boards are particularly great places to target (for example, postings at large public or private institutions nearby instead of generic job boards).

It used to work on an older version of Apollo but doesn't anymore.

Originally this worked on Apollo 1.15.12, but an update newer than that, 1.15.14, broke this feature (unfortunately).

Any big major for profit company embracing federation is purely for their own revenue generating goals and have no explicit want to be actually good stewards of the Internet, its communities, and about their participation.

Participating in Federation is another way for Meta to suck up as much data as it can to sell its advertising services.

I took my sweet ass time going through all of the recent Lostbelts because I didn't feel like sitting there reading, then realized I could just read summaries of the story off the TypeMoon Wiki (and yea it's probably not 100% accurate but whatever), so I blitzed through what I had left recently.

The two LB 5.5 fights though were big :/

This particular series has kind of grown on me. It's fun to see the two main characters bumble about figuring themselves and each other out.

One interpretation is that there is a general want for GUND-ARM (Gundam) technology to not be used for war, Given that the "true" Gundams left are the only 4 that were disintegrated, Suletta+Ericht used their ability to exert influence over whatever particle magic system was powering the Permet stuff to achieve the desired outcome.

But yea, for a science fiction "magic is indistinguishable from advanced science" perspective, the finale did feel very magical rather than grounded in science fiction

Yea I think a lot of space programs / launch companies are in the same boat. While they were developing their next generation offering, SpaceX leapfrogged all of them with a reusable rocket, and pivoting to a new reusable offering after sinking a lot of energy and time and resources into developing a next generation offering is not pretty. I think the Japanese space program is in the current predicament with their interim/planned launch rocket.
