finished watching The Eternaut 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
It's unfair that this show feels derivative, I'm sure the source material was groundbreaking and influenced lots of stories that came after, but that's the problem: we've seen all of this a thousand times. They're tropes now, we should have made this show decades ago or not at all.

Maybe, hear me out because this might be a radical idea, just maybe, we should stop recycling old ideas and put our money on the new ones.

And maybe I should stop listening to the internet telling me to watch this or that Most Important Thing.

I found this cool #Fediverse software called #NeoDB via @dansup 's awesome FediDB website.

https://fedidb.com/software/neodb?version=latest&registration=open

It's a tracking / shelf platform for #TV / #drama, #movies / #films, #books, and #games

Automated import from #Goodreads work well. Just provide the required URL and voila. If it doesn't appear immediately, it is probably waiting for server workers or waiting for the server load to lower or Goodreads request limit, just be patient, only submit the same URL once! If in doubt, contact the admins instead of resubmitting.

Unfortunately, the software doesn't support import (automated, API, or manual) from Trakt, SIMKL, MyAnimeList, and other popular tracking/shelf services for TV/drama and movies/films. There is one, Douban or something, which I think is popular in the Chinese and Japanese speaking markets.

Anyway, what if the item you want to add doesn't exist in the database yet?

Worry not! There are three ways NeoDB software populates its database.

* Method 1: You can add the details yourself

* Method 2: Search the other NeoDB instances for existing similar items

* Method 3: Search for the item from TMDB, IMDB, IGDB, Steam, Goodreads, and other supported sites (no TVDB), and paste the URL to NeoDB's search box and it will import it to your instance

Method 2 is already sweet. That is the entire idea of the #SocialWeb. But Method 3 is even sweeter!

Methods 2 and 3 are the best because it's a win-win for everyone. Regular users can forget about manually re-entering new data. Seriously, who wants to manually duplicate data from one DB to another? I certainly don't! I contribute to #TMDB but I'm definitely not repeating the same effort in #TVDB.

Secondly, there's no need for instances to duplicate large databases just to ensure their site is useful for any user. Items are added as local users interact with the items. It keeps the db small instead of having thousands of items no one has interacted to yet (or probably not).

Check my accounts:

* Flagship server: @youronlyone
* Instance: @youronlyone@eggplant.place

~~Hmm… I haven't checked but I think music is not supported (yet?). NeoDB can use the largest #OpenDB for music: #Musicbrainz ~~

UPDATE: Music is supported, as well as, #podcasts .

🖖🏽🙇🏽

A more positive #blog today. I did a #review of Pluto, an excellent short anime about robots. At a time when all we hear is how AI will either drown us in slop, or take over the world (or both), it's quite nice to engage with an #anime that takes a more old-fashioned approach to robots, while still exploring some fundamental philosophical themes.

It's eight emotionally gut-punching episodes, and I'd certainly recommend it.

finished watching Black Sails Season 4
I can't believe that a show that started so bad, and I mean Bad, ended up being so engaging and thought provoking.

Maybe I underestimated it so hard that I made a big deal of a few redeeming qualities, but maybe it gradually became good. I just finished the last episode and I'm still puzzled by the trip, so I might have to rewatch it some day to make up my mind.

In any case, I recommend searching "black sails woke" on your least annoying search engine and enjoy the copious amounts of fash tears that you'll find.

Not finished in time for Monday, but here are some thoughts I haven’t seen reflected elsewhere, in response to the excellence of Andor.

Yes, it's a powerful depiction of resistance movements and how the state will always weaponize resistance against itself.

But Andor also has an omission that should remind we who watch shows like this to move *past* shows like this—because if we think that art alone will save us, we didn't pay enough attention to the plot.

finished watching Novocaine 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
Are #CIPA movies a thing? I learned it existed thanks to an episode of House (I owe that show most of my medical "knowledge") Years later I watched that little movie where the protagonist is an assassin insensitive to pain, The Midnight Man (2016) https://neodb.social/movie/0VkEK52ooUYWCGksk08HyL Now there's Novocaine too, that I know of. CIPA keeps coming up on my screen without me having ever looked for it.

I'm wondering if these shows help by raising awareness of a rare disorder, I did read a couple of articles after I watched House, so it kind of worked for me, I'm aware. Maybe some public interest could even get studies funded... or maybe this kind of thing (not talking about Novocaine in particular) is just a bit exploitative and doesn't help any patients at all.

Opinions welcome.
