Well, it can federate with lemmy instances and there are way, way more lemmy users/communities than there are piefed user/communities. If you want to see the local communities on a piefed instances, it would be at /communities/local. This is the page for piefed.social.

This is exactly why. Some numbers:

  • Polycarbonate thermal expansion coefficient - 65 * 10^-6 per degree C (source)
  • Glass thermal expansion coefficient - 9 * 10^-6 per degree C (source)

Most amateur telescopes are used shortly after dusk when the temperature is changing more rapidly than deep in the night when the temperature might be more stable. Also, the coatings are not as resistant to more dramatic expansion cycles (remember that you need those mirrors to stay very smooth). Given the high price and low volume of the goods, it doesn't make sense to cheap out on a critical component like this and give yourself a bad reputation among a very small but dedicated community.

I kind of feel like this was a missed opportunity to have Ponko replace Yachiyo in the OP.

I am traveling right now, so I am going to keep it short. I wasn't really feeling this episode for a while. Yachiyo going through a rebellious phase (no matter how hilarious or well animated it was) felt a bit out of character to me. However, they brought me back around with the emotional exchange between the two. I am going to miss this show when it is over.

This show is taking its time with the later parts of this story despite going a bit faster early on and I think it is paying off. Honestly, despite the obvious lack of budget/production available for this show, they have done a fantastic job with the adaptation. They have changed up the order and pacing to better suit the medium, leading to some great moments.

I'm traveling, so I am going to keep this short. This episode was probably the best produced episode all season. I have absolutely loved this show. Even having read the manga, this show has elevated the source to such a high level it has been a joy. I will miss this when it ends.

[–] wjs018@piefed.social 2 points 6 days ago

This episode was certifiably nuts. The production on this show has been phenomenal when it has no need to be. It's been something special all season.

Assigning post flair as a piefed mod to a lemmy post in a lemmy community does work, but it is a bit janky when it comes to federation. The post flair doesn't federate out to other piefed instances (like feddit.online) because the flair assignment isn't forwarded out by the host lemmy instance. Additionally, if the lemmy post is edited in any way, the post flair is dropped and needs to be reassigned.

spoiler flair

This would be nice to have with it behaving similar to nsfw posts (blurred image). What I have done so far in the !anime@ani.social and !manga@ani.social communities is I have added a normal flair that is called spoiler. But that doesn't really do anything special.

Umm, no? 1-bit means 2^1 values. In this case the two colors but more commonly just 0 and 1.

2-bit would mean 2^2 values.

That's some great dithering.

 

Premieres in October 2025. Check out the ANN article for additional information. Synopsis for the source light novel from AniList:

"This party does not need a useless magician who can only use support magic. You are fired, Alec Huguette."

One day, Alec, a court magician who had been chaperoning the Crown Prince's dungeon-crawling party, was suddenly fired and banished from the court by the prince. The only one who reached out to him is Yoruha, his former party member from their Academy of Magic days, that had split up four years ago.

"Hey Alec— would you like to come explore dungeons with us again?"

Thus the legendary "Lasting Period" party was revived, and the name will soon became known all over the world once again.

Yeah, this is the way. After somebody gave me this tip years ago, every other way felt so imprecise.

I just looked at the first PR out of curiosity, and wow...

this isn't integrated with tests

That's the part that surprised me the most. It failed the existing automation. Even after prompted to fix the failing tests, it proudly added a commit "fixing" it (it still didn't pass...something that copilot should really be able to check). Then the dev had to step in and say why the test was failing and how to fix the code to make it pass. With this much handholding all of this could have been done much faster and cleaner without any AI involvement at all.
