What are some lesser-known TV series you like, and would recommend? in c/[email protected]

Danger 5. It's an Australian tv show that had two seasons. It's a surreal, screwball comedy about a ragtag team whose mission every episode is to kill Hitler.

If you want to see a TV show that has Nazis, dinosaurs, cigarette commercials, and a talking bald Eagle, then this is your show.

Content warnings vs hashtag filter? (self.mastodon)

I understand the need for content warnings on posts containing nsfw or nsfl materials, or anything that has a good chance of triggering a traumatic response, eg discussions related to self harm or abuse.

But I've run across people who expect others to put content warnings on selfies (especially if they contain eye contact), pictures of food (often specifically food with meat), and anything to do with politics. I don't want to invalidate their needs or preferences and say they shouldn't wish to see those things on their timeline; I'm just not sure content warnings is the appropriate tool in the cases.

Mastodon has very customizable controls for hashtag filtering now. You can set up filters to completely hide posts containing certain hashtags or you can have mastodon apply content warnings to them for you if you want to decide whether to see the affected posts case by case.

I think the people in the latter group should instead apply hashtag filtering as needed. If they see a post that gets around their filter, they should either adjust their filters or ask the poster to use the appropriate hashtags, eg to remember to use #politics when posting about politics.

Thoughts?

I still like this meme in c/linuxmemes

I think this meme is referring to when Apple ripped out 32bit support in macOS a few years ago. I couldn't use Wine anymore to play old windows games on my Mac after that update for example.

Favourite Metroid game? in c/games

[–] sheridan 5 points 2 weeks ago

It's really hard for me to name a single favorite Metroid; I love most of them. In terms of non-linear open exploration, Super Metroid is probably my favorite, followed by AM2R. But I also really enjoyed the boss fights in Metroid Dread; they were really challenging...for me at least.
