I'm shocked. Utterly shocked.

No, really, I swear, this is my "shocked" face.

Just watched Episode 1, gonna start posting my thoughts here in the comments. For context, I'm watching the show in Japanese with English Subtitles.

Episode 1: Bulma and Son Goku

• I've probably watched this episode more times than I can count, partially because of all the times I've gone to start rewatching the series, but then stopped for one reason or another. I practically have all these early episodes memorized.
• I think this episode is a great introduction to our two lead characters (for this arc anyway), as well as giving the viewer a taste of the series' tone.
• I have mixed feelings on the filler scene with the Pilaf Gang. On the one hand, I think there's merit to establishing them in the first episode, especially with how big a presence they have in the anime version of this arc. On the other hand though, I think that the original manga chapter's very simple storyline focusing only on Goku and Bulma, without exploring anything of the larger world yet, feels a bit more focused, and the contrast between it and later chapters in terms of scope makes our discovery of the world through Goku's eyes feel more effective.

I've been using this userscript to redirect all links to my instance. If you've never installed a userscript, it's pretty easy, you just need to install the Tampermonkey browser extension (there are others but it's the one I use), then click the greasyfork link in the post I linked, and click install.

Me, who's already been here for a few weeks, trying to just load a post or make a comment right now with the influx of traffic:

Apologies for not replying, your reply didn't federate to my instance, apparently. I just posted a first thread for this (on a different account), but I'm not seeing it on either my home instance or lemmy.ml. Anyway here's the first thread on Kanzenshuu

Wanted to be on a reasonably big instance, since I figure they're more likely to stick around in the long run. Lemmy.ml was closed for registration at the time (might still be, idk), and plus I have some disagreements with the admins, so I chose lemmy.world. I'm pretty happy here and don't see a reason to change personally, although the server's getting pretty overloaded recently so we'll see.

H.265 tends to struggle with older, film grain heavy content in my experience, but for newer stuff it wins hands down.

More recently, we have determined that there isn’t value in having a downstream rebuilder.

Alright, well, there it is in plain English. They're killing downstream clones like Rocky, Alma, etc.

I have to wonder how this is going to affect software which officially only supports (insert RHEL clone here). I use DaVinci Resolve for work every day, historically they've only supported CentOS, and just recently they started supporting Rocky as well. VFX isn't my wheelhouse, but I know the situation is basically the same for those programs as well.

It doesn't matter how hard Reddit tries to break up the protest, if they don't reverse course on this, the site will implode on July 1st when the API changes happen and mods of large subreddits no longer can use the tools they need to do their jobs. Reddit's trying to claim they have new mod tools in the works, but I'm sure they're full of shit.

Everyone at that company is an absolute idiot for not listening to the moderators they're actively antagonizing right now, and it's going to blow up in their faces.
