Since some instances were compromised earlier I’ve been able to access the desktop and mobile sites (just had to log in again) but can’t get third party apps to work. Jerboa seems confused whether I’m logged in or not, some pages work and others give a ‘not logged in’ error - I don’t see any option to log out or...

The talk about “enshittification” made me think of the very email we use for the instances we signed up and instantly, it paints a grim picture. One of my account used gmail to sign up. Some proton mail. It reminds me that these too are companies beholden to their shareholders....

Im trying to install a game through Lutris using the game’s installer and I keep coming across the same error that I can’t really find much information on. It seems to be an issue with dotnet itself or the actual game installer and not WINE though, so I am unsure how to proceed....

I got this fun fee after trying to order takeout from Buffalo Wild Wings (yes I'm naming and shaming). How exactly does adding a dollar help you operate takeout? It's literally less work than waiting on a table. This is nothing more than a shameful cash grab to pad profits....

I don’t tend to eat much fish, but in the supermarket earlier I saw some smoked salmon which didn’t need cooking, and some salmon fillets which did. They looked the same really - both ‘raw’. I decided to buy some of the fillet. It was nice, but a very different flavour from when I’ve tried smoked salmon in the past....

One of the most annoying parts about That Place, and also Lemmy, is curating your feed by blocking communities you have no interest in seeing....

We have bookwyrm.social, which does an excellent job at replacing the need for goodreads (which is owned by Amazon). But is there an alternative to imdb.com?

To my knowledge there’s no stagnant water on my property, I’ve run water through all my ptraps, and I’m careful to not leave doors open. Yet at any given time there’s at least 3 in my house. I can’t sleep, i can’t sit on the couch, i can’t exist in the fear of being sucked dry....

So I saw a recent post on lemmy from admins of another instance, forgive me for not remembering which, where they posted a full transparency update on Meta requesting a meeting with the admins of that instance. The admins declined, and then shared the correspondence with their community via screenshots of the original email from...

I’m enjoying Lemmy so far, for the most part....

I have between 20-30 TB of data I want to keep a copy of in a firesafe. I do not want to use an online storage solution, I want to maintain my personal data at my home....

I’m getting a weird issue with steam on my desktop running endeavourOS with qtile, where steam starts and then immediately closes. I’ve been trying to figure out why this happens, but all of the solutions I could find from googling errors have said to uninstall xdg-desktop-portal or flatpak, but neither of those things...

I wrote a pretty long comment elsewhere regarding Xenoblade 3, which is pretty much my favourite game of all time in 30+ years of gaming. I guess it would be a cool idea for others to do the same - but don’t just give a list, sell your favourite title to us!...

Is it possible or does it present difficulties with federation?...

Edit: to clarify, is it going to scan my phone for credit card info and contacts etc.

Hi, Linux! I’ve been using Linux for many years now, but haven’t moved distros in awhile. I’m considering it now, and I really would like to migrate over all my customized system and software settings. So far, I am thinking of backing up everything that begins with a dot in my home folder, all of my systemd service files,...

What the title says. Are there any good ChatGPT alts that can be self hosted?

Looking to download an android app. Kind of like a digital replacement for those 2023-4 planners that one sees in Target....

Several years ago, I used Blockada, which was frequently recommended. According to some discussion threads, it seems to have fallen from grace....

Hey everyone,...

Sure, finding games on the high seas is easy enough on my windows machine, but if I’m on my linux partition and want to play a game that would otherwise work if I bought it in Steam with proton, how would I go about getting the game to run?

I came up with the idea for this community in the shower. What if I want to watch a movie with people from all over the world, and talk about it in a live thread? Live threads for sporting events and TV shows are pretty common, but I don’t think I’ve seen it applied to movies before. The concepts are simple:...
