So as the title asks…which one is best for usability, privacy ?...

Hi! I’m trying to figure out if my anti fat biases etc are colouring my view. Background: I’ve lived in an olderish apartment (1970s) for about a decade, got a new upstairs neighbour a couple of years ago and now my bathroom ceiling leaks, grows mold etc. The maintenance folks have cut through the drywall a few times,...

Hello everyone,...

I’m Korean and grew up eating anchovies in a variety of Korean dishes. Usually tiny ones that are stir fried with seasonings, or dried and salted ones. I use fish sauce, made from anchovies, pretty often in dishes, but I’ve never really tried making anything with the bigger, sardine style ones. I’ve been meaning to put...

Hi! There’s no Surface on Linux Lemmy community (yet), but I didn’t feel like asking on reddit, so I thought that this community is my best bet....

prefer KDE. Currently testing Nitrux. Any other options

I am wanting to self host a fediverse instance. I don’t hope to make it big. Hoping for 200 users at most, and I won’t advertise it heavily so it’ll probably be a while before it gets there....

Hi, started self hosting quite a few things and would like a domain to use for when I’m out and about instead of having to remember what my IP is currently. What are the newest providers of services that can accomplish this?

Curious as to what others do once they’ve opened their advent calendar for the day, take the door off, leave it open, close it, or something else entirely?...

For example, if I type out a sentence and decide I want to add asterisks around a word for emphasis, why does Gboard replace the space between the previous word and the emphasized word instead of just adding the new character? Is this added functionality for something I just don’t understand?...

I’m tired about reading about reddit here....

So I recently made a discovery that I honesty feel daft for not realizing before....

For the last few months, I’ve been splitting a bag of coffee beans into 2-3 portions and freezing them. I’ve seen that it extends the freshness by a bit. Now, I’ve been storing them in older coffee bags (the standard sealable ones) since they take up less space than jars and also I’m just reusing something that...

You know they never would as they are, but you can’t help wishing they might....

I got a box full of a bunch of stuff from over the years. Some big, some small, some expensive, some cheap. It seems like a shame to throw it all in a landfill, with or without personal data.

As I get more and more invites to private trackers, I’m finding that I find myself spending more and more time on public tracker websites....

Hiya! I have a known good Ubuntu 22.04 USB that has worked on other devices, but when I try to install it on this PC I get a blank screen with “stdin: Invalid argument” repeated 30 times or so, and at the bottom it says “Unable to find medium contained a live file system” and then attempts to boot from URL. (For some...

I notice programming stuff leaks into my thinking and writing often but I actually enjoy the various constructs that help clarify thinking. I don’t have any formal background in logic tho :(...

what is the best option for a Chromebook system?? I own a Chromebook but I don’t know what to choose, I can install Linux apps and they’re native and can be used offline, but Progressive Web Apps are smaller in storage!! So that’s nice too, I don’t know, I hope that in the future native apps will still exist.

Game Information...

I’ve been using Fedora for a couple of months now, and have been loving it. Very soon after I jumped into this community (among other Linux communities) and started laughing at all the people saying “KDE rules, GNOME drools,” and “GNOME is better, KDE is for babies.” But then I thought, “Why not give KDE a try? The...
