Why is it that I am not able to read a book without moving my eyes if the entirety of the page is within my field of view? Why do I have to center my eyes on an object to observe it fully? And why is it that I am still able to view changes in surroundings in the edges of my field of vision despite there being supposedly no way...
We know what causes magnetic fields and we know what their effects are, but what actually are they? What does it mean for them to be composed of “lines of force”? What is the mechanism of that force? What is actually going on in a magnetic field that the space outside of a magnetic field lacks?
I am about to go to college for engineering and they require a Windows laptop because of the software we will be using (mostly solidworks I’m pretty sure) doesn’t work on other operating systems. I primarily use windows day-to-day for gaming and such anyways so it’s not a problem for me but I’m wondering if anyone had...

I just got my package of new earphones from Best Buy, and the box was fucking empty. I mean there is the box and instruction manuals and charging cable, but the actual earphones aren’t there. They’ve used Shipt (which is like a doordash but for packages) but the box was inside another layer of packaging which was supposedly...
Done with Reddit’s bullshit, and happy to check this out as it seems to be popular. Any apps that people would recommend for this platform?

Hey everyone! I’m looking for some good documentaries on the history of computer science and Programming in general!...
Because of the date of conception and all that.
I’m currently using Manjaro with i3 and no desktop environment. The problems with Manjaro as well as the lack of cohesiveness and missing features from not having a DE are prompting me to switch distributions. This isn’t the point of the post but I want to keep the i3 workflow but achieve DE level (gnome level ideally) of...
Hello! I use virt-manager as frontend for KVM, and I’d like to set the mouse movement mode to “absolute”, that should fix weird mouse problems in the VM for certains applications (games at most: minecraft mouse lock does not work with the default setting). If I go into the VM settings, under “Mouse”, I get:...
Just thinking about all the… Shall we say “under used” pickup trucks in my neck of the woods. Bought to look like the owner moves shit - when in reality it just signals to me they have the money to make others do it for them.
Just wanna know if there’s anyone managing and supporting a company-wide linux desktop deployment....
Good news, everyone!! Microsoft outage this morning in the UK. The tickets are streaming in…
Hello all! I am new to the Fediverse, and am currently exploring it all. Very exciting concept and future! So far, I am here on Lemmy (Reddit alternative) and Nostr (Twitter alternative). Which Fediverse software is the best Facebook alternative? Thanks in advance!
I’ve been on a mini quest to try and get my Twitter account banned without doing anything strictly against the ToS and my first idea was to start messing with people who say something completely untrue, then refuse to back down under any circumstances. But that got me thinking, is it okay? I’m not outright insulting/cyber...

I know it was posted some time ago but can’t find it plus the fact that fdroid subreddit is private doesn’t help me
Idea: if you mod a community on a lemmy.somewhere you should be able to migrate it to lemmy.elsewhere which would include all post & comment links being forwarded and subbed users having their subscription updated to reflect the new location....
