To be perfectly honest - I’ll likely stay here for content that typically ends up in large subs. Programming, World News, Politics, Ask _? That’s pretty well covered here.
But I’d use my third party app of choice to check in on subs that haven’t really taken off here yet. I haven’t had a decent conversation about One Piece yet on this platform. The Colts magazine equally dead. Game specific magazines and conversations are not very active here.
Quicker access to magazines I’m subscribed to is like my only actual gripe about desktop at this point. Still rough on mobile because there’s no access to greasemonkey or stylesheet override tools.
This makes me want to legally change my name to admin admin
That CGI is probably my biggest gripe with this entire trailer. Because it could be improved so much with some alternate shots and cutting.
The goal should be to avoid the uncanny valley as much as possible - so it should be quick, and the focus of the shots should be on the parts that don’t stretch.
That shot alone would be improved by having it start on Luffy shouting “Gum Gum” like it does, and showing the arm stretch in away from the focus of the camera. Then, rather than rotating, cut to the point where his fist will end up and have it approach and stop, before pulling the camera with it to hit Alvida.
That’s legitimately 1 cut and alternate angle for much of the stretching footage. And I think it could have looked so much better. The other problem is how shiny the fist is, that’s not really how flesh reflects light, but I feel like that’s an easier fix in future seasons if we get them.
You… are correct.
Huh. I just saw CONCACAF and incorrectly assumed. Thanks for the heads up.
Honestly I forgot about the Gold Cup in general until my friends started talking on messenger before the Mexico match.
Shame he tweaked something before the half and we pulled him out of an abundance of caution.
Hopefully he can bury the hatchet with Berhalter. The kid is so good.
And I’m fine with them wanting to do that.
The protest was less about them wanting to charge a price, it’s that in a time frame of 6 months reportedly went from “the API won’t have changes anytime soon” to “we’re going to pivot to a paid API soon” to “we’re charging you advertiser rates per x million API requests, starting in a month, and you cannot supplement with your own ads”.
There was no time for these apps to adjust their pricing models. Most were on yearly subscription models or ad-driven. Having that large a pivot in the rules with no time to adapt the business model is just shitty partnership on Reddit’s part.
Not if I view them using those third party apps they apparently need to charge an arm and a leg for.
The problem is that it is not tagged NSFW, despite its source being an NSFW server, so its thumbnails come through unblurred.
It’s not my understanding that our instance is actively in support of untagged NSFW content. If it’s tagged, it’s blurred and we can avoid it in /all. But these other instances are not enforcing that tag regularly.
If an entire instance isn’t respectful of those federated to it, I think defederating is reasonable.
In this specific case, I’d be in favor of temporarily defederating until we can implement a solution to tag any content from an entire server as NSFW.
NTA
I feel like the only thing that might be even remotely be a mark against you is if it really was as quick turn as your post makes it seem. Even if it was a deserved ultimatum - if you allow them the option to break the news themselves, I think an allowance of a day or two to form the right way to break it to them might have been better for her current standing with the kids.
But ultimately - no matter how much time you gave her to prep that speech, it likely wouldn't have saved enough face for them to feel more cordial in the short term.
