I'm new to the fediverse and can't access the link.
I'm on pixelfed.ca and logged in, but the link demands that I log into an account on pixtagram.social. (I also did a global search for "punk rock history" but it doesn't show up.)
Is there a way I can see it without creating a pixtagram.social account?

驅魔警察 Magic Cop (1990) Cantonese audio / English subtitles
If you loved horror-comedy Mr Vampire, then you'll want to see Lam Ching-Ying return as the "vampire"-fighting Taoist priest, only this time he's also a modern-day Hong Kong cop, fighting a drug gang that employs ghosts and the hopping dead!

Thanks for this!
- "Man, the energy! The speed! YES, YES, YEEEESSSS!"
- "Wait... is that Communication Breakdown?... I love it!"

Only discovered D.O.A. a few years ago (thanks to the posts of Vancouverite Philip Random on Metafilter), first time listening to the whole album.
Kind of fun then finally watching some old Vancouver-shot Stephen J. Cannell shows on free streaming, and seeing Wiseguy's Ken Wahl standing in a phone box making a call with a big old D.O.A. poster right by his head.
Maybe time for a drinking game: drink every time you see a D.O.A. or nomeansno poster, flyer or sticker in a Stephen J. Cannell show. (Resulting in Dutch courage to finally smash the state?)

On a bright note, leopards' CITES conservation status has been upgraded from VU (vulnerable) to LC (Least Concern).
More typical unnecessary gubbmint regulation keeping down the laser pointer industry!
We already saw the cognitive dissonance of people gurgling the last words "COVID's a liberal hoax" as they drowned to death on their own bodily fluids filling their lungs. Literally no amount of reality can sway people who just won't accept it.
"Personally, I'da gone with Tabasco, but if they prefer to sprinkle Sriracha on my face before digging in, I have to respect their decision."
"I can respectfully disagree with their exact method of eating my face and still support all their goals... of eating my face."

Algospeak is the use of coded expressions to evade automated moderation algorithms on social media platforms such as TikTok and YouTube. It is used to discuss topics deemed sensitive to moderation algorithms while avoiding penalties such as shadow banning or downranking of content.
IIRC, Chauvin made the plea deal on federal charges so that he would do his time in the relative safety of a federal prison.
Which would mean that if he gets pardoned on federal charges, then he would have to serve out his remaining state time in a state pen... the very thing he wanted to avoid. He would probably be dead in under a month unless he spent the next decade or more in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day (like he did in his pre-trial detention).
Which would be a crying shame, of course...
I think Disroot survive on donations, and I get the impression that they would rather close than sell users' data. But you never know.
My next major software install will be the Nextcloud docker image, replacing so many data-sucking cloud services. Self-host at first, then maybe try a trusted provider (from whom my data would be protected).
The legend about the origin of the word sabotage is that French workers being put out of a job by bosses installing new machinery would drop their wooden clogs (called "sabots" in French) into the machinery's gears, thus damaging it.
TSA vs DOGE... maybe they can both lose?
"The Department of Government Efficiency" is not a department.
"Full self-driving" is not fully self-driving.

Colour-differentiated workspaces
New to Pixelfed, new to Lemmy. And new to workspaces, fairly new to Linux and Xfce (returning after many years away). When I first started using workspaces (virtual desktops), I would get confused. "Wait, which workspace am I on again?" So I used Xfce's feature to have different backgrounds for diff...

European alternatives to GitHub & VS Studio Marketplace
On the database website, I didn't see any alternatives to GitHub, or even a category for that I could submit to.
"Software development, collaboration & hosting"?
Here are some:
- Codeberg (Germany, non-profit)
- Sourcehut (Netherlands)
- Launchpad (UK, it's not just for Ubuntu stuff)
- Radicle (Switzerland, peer-to-peer: no central host)
- Free Software Foundation Europe, Gitea instance (non-profit)
Alternative to... lots of stuff: GitHub, Google, Gmail, Google Docs, Discord, Skype, Reddit, Twitter etc
- Disroot (Netherlands, non-profit)
Alternative to Microsoft VS Studio Marketplace (extensions for VS Studio IDE)
- Open VSX (Belgium, non-profit)
Open source alternative to Microsoft VS Studio IDE, with Microsoft telemetry removed

New to Lemmy.
And new to workspaces. I'd get confused at first which workspace I was on.
Different backgrounds helped a bit, but I'm almost always in maximized windows.
I wanted to have different colours for windows, panel etc but couldn't.
So I adjusted panel opacity to 95% on Enter, 75% on Leave. That allows the background colour to bleed through.
A user on the Linux Mint forums suggested adjusting workspace margins to let the background show even when windows are maximized.
So now I have an 8-pixel strip of desktop showing just above the panel. Combined with the lowered panel opacity, I never have to wondr anymore what workspace I'm on.
- Workspace [1/2/3] with windows minimized.
- Workspace [1/2/3] with window maximized, panel at "Leave" opacity of 95%.
- Workspace [1/2/3] with window maximized, panel at "Enter" opacity of 75%.
(I read somewhere that it's better to host images for Lemmy on Pixelfed. So I made my first post there with all the screenshots, and linked to it. Hope that works.)
