I suppose it's only films, but I wanted to ask, just to make sure. Some TV series are works of art, with amazing frames. The series Severance, for example, has extremely beautiful shooting and frames.

Moderators: feel free to delete this post – sorry for the outlier! But maybe a "films only" can be added in the sidebar?

In the past two days I've been trying to create a community, but without success. I insert the name (with the allowed characters), the display name, and so on. But when I click on create a spinning wheel appears for a second or two, then goes back to create and nothing has happened. I created two communities previously (10 days ago or so) without problems.

I imagine it's just an effect of the current load for Lemmy.world, but wanted to ask just in case.

This starts tomorrow. The premise is really one of a kind. I'm very curious to see how they pull this off!

I was wondering whether this community focuses on discussing and recommending manga, or mostly on "manga announce" instead, from the majority of the posts I'm seeing. The sidebar doesn't give much information.

NB: just in case I'm being misread, this is not a criticism! Just trying to understand whether I'm interested in subscribing or not.

(Just found somewhere on the internet)

NB: According to some of the suggestions below, this post has been made into a community:

https://lemmy.ca/c/software_alternatives_linux

Hope to see many of view posting software alternatives there!

Many members of this community are computer users who recently moved to Linux from other OSs, Windows in particular. Having established their work and hobbies on a particular software base, they often encounter difficulties trying to find similar software on Linux.

I'd like this to be a sort of board where members comment about some software alternative they're looking for, and other members sub-comment with possible solutions.

What's a solution? It's important to be broad-minded about this when switching to Linux:

• Exactly the same software could be available for Linux.

• Different software but with similar critical features could be available for Linux.

• It could be possible to use emulators (such as Wine) of the old OS.

• Finally, one can change one's perspective or workflow, in such a way that the old software is not needed any longer, but is replaced with other software of a different kind (this may actually lead to much improved workflows).

(Moderators: feel free to take over this post. Also please let me know if a similar board exists already here, so I delete this.)

Today Fanfox.net seem to be offline. Anyone knows more about this?

You are being watched. The government has a secret system, a machine that spies on you every hour of every day. I designed the machine to detect acts of terror, but it sees everything. Violent crimes involving ordinary people. The government considers these people "irrelevant". We don't. Hunted by the authorities, we work in secret. You'll never find us. But victim or perpetrator, if your number's up... we'll find you.

Who remembers and misses this outstanding show? Will we ever enjoy the like again? It's still so actual in these AI days.

Severance was one of the most beautiful series I watched of late. Not just intriguing, but beautiful, artistically beautiful. Very happy to hear it's been renewed for a second season.

Let's discuss it! :)

PS: and here you can find Severance: The Lexington Letter – the cherry on the show.

Some time ago on Reddit someone poste a link to a video meme about Saitama/One Punch Man and Linux man pages.

That subreddit is now private, so I can't access the link and no net search seems to unearth it. Can someone share it here? was it a youtube link?

I just installed Kubuntu 22.04 on a Thinkpad, letting it take over (on purpose) the whole hard drive. Everything is working fine so far, all hardware seems to be working. If I take a look at software-properties, the "Other sources" list is empty: there are no ppa's added at the moment.

On another Thinkpad I have Ubuntu 20.04 pre-installed. In the "Other sources" list I see some OEM repositories: they must have been added by the Lenovo people before shipping.

I have two questions about this:

1. How necessary or useful are these OEM ppas? I fear that they may have important improvements for specific machines.

2. How do you find these OEM ppas? For example, what should I do to find such a ppa for the first Thinkpad (with Kubuntu), and see if it has useful software or drivers?

Edit: just as an example, there's this list: http://oem.archive.canonical.com/dists/ But I have no idea how to choose from there, it's a bit of a labyrint and the names don't reveal very much. For example, there are several "jammy-..." folders; and if you enter one of them, say "jammy", there are many subfolders with very cryptic names.
