Make signing up complicated and difficult to discourage people from signing up. What's that practice called?
It’s a way of denying service without officially denying service. If that sheds any light.
Is there a point to making an account on multiple Lemmy servers?
I’m currently on sh.itjust.works, but wondering if I should also apply for a Beehaw user, and whether that comes with any benefits over just using my current user.
My Moka pot went into sputter mode.
So about two weeks ago my 9-cup pot started failing. Instead of a nice rich flow, it did nothing until it started to boil, and then produced about 3 of it’s 9 ‘cups’ via a disgusting tasting over boiled sputtering mess....

Would you rather feel low-key dissatisfied
With your life, or artificially happy, knowing it’s temporary?...
Imagine if all these discount programs were linked not to the card, but to the bag. Bringing the same rugged bag with a chip could've become a new normal.
Sex hormones are powerful. Running through everybody's blood. Creating massive aggression, obsession and mental disturbance. What if we could remove their mental influence?
I’m talking about the fight/fuck/dominate hormones. Testosterone, estrogen. The reason why putting a pretty girl in an advertisement works so well. And it might explain a lot of aggression too....
What's your favorite Android tablet?
Previously on Lemmy: Asus...
On the end of Discovery
I have mixed feelings about Disco ending. I really dug the first season’s look at a Federation at war, and following the person who arguably set that war in motion dealing with her culpability. Add to that a ship that is part weird science lab, part haunted house. And yeah, I could live with the Klingon redesign....
recommendations for lightweight window managers for an old netbook
Hi, I’ve got an old netbook from Samsung that has an old Intel Atom CPU (Intel Atom N455 1.66 GHz). I installed Arch on it and am now thinking of a suitable window manager. I tried Hyprland (kinda expecting it to not work really) whick didn’t start at all. Before I had Debian with Gnome, which technically worked, but...
Ignorance is only really appreciated in retrospect. But the damage happens in the present. So how do we avoid the damage?
What is a small .EPUB reader that is easy to install for my small Puppy remaster?
My question is basically the title. I’m making my own Puppy Linux remaster and it already has a .PDF reader for it that is very small. I think it’s called Evince? It has a native GTK UI and starts in a second, uses very little RAM and CPU. Now I need a .EPUB reader. I’ve seen a couple different .EPUB reader apps out there...
What shows have extended therapy arcs?
That is, which shows heavily involve therapy and sitting in and getting to watch characters recieve therapy in a therapists office/room. Maybe on a divan but not necessary....
Where to now?
Looks like my favorite torrent-site is shutting down in not too long. It’s an invite-only site that I’ve been using for well over a decade, so I’m a bit at a loss as to where to go. Any suggestions? I mainly use it for tv shows and movies....
How to make iptables rules permanent?
I’ve been trying to setup pivpn on alpine, but it keeps complaining about some iptables rules not being set, requiring me to run pivpn -d each time the system is started to fix it…
Where do guns go when people are done using them?
Do guns wear out? Do they end up in landfill? You always hear about guns being sold, but never about what happens to them at the end of their useful life.
Self-hosted forms builder?
I’m looking for a self-hosted forms builder. Something like Google Forms, Zoho Forms, or maybe Formspree....
Uplay games on Linux
I’d like to try the new Assassin’s Creed and Avatar, but they’re not on Steam - which is how I play almost every other game on Linux. I know I might be able to install Uplay games using Lutris, but I’m not sure if the experience is as smooth as Steam + Proton....
Do you think it would be understandable/alright to be discriminatory towards people who identify with a world culture if that culture ended up declaring nuclear war and going through with the threats?
It’s no secret I’m on the misanthropy spectrum, but as such a person you could say that about, I wanted to ask this ever since hearing this conveyed in response to recent events which sees three spheres of influence now arguably possessing the potential to deliver on such promises. Like… what’s the deal?
Monitor loses signal within 5 minutes of turning on the computer

Looking to switch to Linux in the somewhat distant future
Any distro I should use?
what is your favorite browser tab?
Yes, im talking the design of the tabs on your browser, mines opera gx, if only it wasn’t spyware (does browsers count as technology?)
Waydroid and the DRM issue | How to play DRM protected videos on Waydroid?
I managed to install waydroid after a long and rather stressful installation process, but now that I have installed it, I am realizing that since Waydroid doesn’t come with DRM software (or malware) installed with it, it won’t play no videos, which is one of the reasons I installed it. Is there a way I can run drm protected...
