Great post, thanks for taking the time to write it up! I was gearing up to write a reply based on the new information we've gotten from the latest movie, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero (awful name), but it looks like that's what you've planned out to be your next post.

In recent years, Dragon Ball has been in a weird phase of flip flopping between coming up with new ideas and re-treading old ideas. Introducing Beerus, re-treading Freeza, introducing other universes, re-treading Broly, introducing Moro, re-treading Cell. Given this and the current focus on the Red Ribbon army in Dragon Ball FighterZ, the manga, and the movies, I think it's likely Android 16 will come back some day.

I wouldn't mind that, but I want the franchise to be more ambitious and to stop re-treading its past.

I think that sounds like a great idea, personally. Especially since we're in the middle of a dry spell in terms of content for the series.

Could you link the Kanzenshuu forums thread where they did this so I could take a look?

I quite liked it. You could recognize users, everyone was generally nice, you could leave for a month without feeling like you missed out, conflict wasn't worth it most of the time so you'd see it to a lesser degree than compared to the conflict generated in just the past week, and the vegan community thrived. I actually started having conversations with some Lemmy users outside of Lemmy!

I remember how exciting it was when federation was enabled and the handful of instances could finally hang out together.

It was quiet and peaceful, but drama would happen once every couple of months that was both entertaining and annoying.

You gotta copy the link to the community then paste it into your instance's (lemmy.world) search bar.

Avoiding Hacker News has done wonders for my mental well-being.

That's where you'd leave a link to a site or image you wanna share. You'd leave it blank if you're just making a text post.

You didn't need to switch. You could've followed the same communities on lemmy.ml straight from your Beehaw account. It's one of the benefits of federation.

 

Y'all know the drill. Time for this month's reading 😎

 

Sorry for posting this a day late! Been busy doing nothing.

 

Now that the movie has released theatrically in the United States, feel free to discuss any thoughts or opinions on the film!

Same! So many people are ragging on the CG, but I'm just glad that the Dragon Ball IP is experimenting after so many decades. I'm ready to see what new things they have in store.

Have you kept up with the Super manga, by any chance?

MLM in this case refers to Marxism-Leninism-Maoism or Marxism-Leninism-Mao Zedong Thought, not Multi-Level Marketing.

The new app bundles format is a worrying trend! If it's truly exclusive to the Play Store and can't be brought to Aurora Store or the Android package installer somehow and APKs start to fizzle out, users of degoogled Android ROMs are going to suffer. If some big name apps are only available as AABs then tough luck.

You kid, but there are probably "smart bathtubs" and "smart showers" out there that do run some old ass Linux kernel. The days of flushing a toilet while someone is showering are long gone. Now all you gotta do is hack into their showers and prank them from afar.
