I’m sorry if this post is a bit too long or emotional, but I would really appreciate if someone read it and told me their thoughts. I feel very isolated in my experiences, and I would really appreciate being heard....

Following the prior Lemmy post about towels…...

Have they given up already? I haven’t seen the popup in a couple of days (touch wood). For a few weeks, it showed up every time I used a logged in account and made the service unusable....

Any clues to get The Lost Weekend, a love story (Pang - Lennon)?

Thinking of trying to morph my Leap workstation into Tumbleweed (and potentially Slowroll once that project matures enough). I’ve seen that you can do it . I reckon I can rollback relatively easily via the BTRFS snapshots if it goes sideways, but just curious to see what others’ experience with doing so has been.

The reason I gave up on MP3’s and subscribed to Spotify was because Spotify was easy. I’ve been listening “Iron Maiden - Empire of the Clouds” song every day and like a week ago, its removed. This was the last straw for me. Right now I’m trying to find “Stremio” of the music world. Can someone assist?...

Long story short, I learned there is an XMMS release of a plugin I use in Winamp for music playback (mp3PRO). Sadly, I recoded most of my music to mp3PRO back in the day, and now I’m stuck using Winamp, even on Linux. I like the player, wouldn’t change it, but I wanted to switch to something native, like Audacious or Qmms....

I’m between distros and looking for a new daily driver for my laptop. What are people daily driving these days? Are there any new cool things to try?...

I’m trying to de-Google my life and self-host more. One tricky point with me is calendaring. I can get a CalDav server running and syncing with my Android phone without much hassle, but I haven’t yet found a server or client that can send e-mail reminders for events, rather than just pop-up notifications....

Holding your phone can mean tons of stuff now.

Hi everyone! I’m currently investigating some pretty strong framedrops in X4 Foundations on my Linux daily driver. The framerate is usually in the 50s and I’m wondering if something isn’t working right since I’m experiencing some massive frame drops. Here’s some data I have accumulated from my latest gaming session:...

Edit, Solved in comments 👌...

I have a TrueNAS server at home and thought I could easily connect it to my phone (Pixel 7) as a network drive but was surprised to learn that Android doesn’t have a built in feature for that....

I almost always read in the news/press that dentists recommend to brush teeth two times a day for 2-3 minutes....

I’d like to learn more about Iran, but without the “Islam/Iran bad” overtones. I’m well aware Iran is far from ideal, far from being socialist, but I’ve been unable to find English language books where the author themselves doesn’t have an admittedly anti/pro-Iran agenda....

I understand a fantasy and a one time thing like tipping on a guys night out at a strip club, but some of these guys think they are in a relationship with someone they will never meet and don’t even know their real name or life details.

I don’t know whether this is an unpopular opinion or not but I actually think that the way Tasha Yar died gave the show much higher stakes throughout it’s entire run. Here is the chief security officer, main bridge crew, tragic back story, potential love interest for the robot character just slapped down by the monster of...

News often stress me out because of the negativity, but I want to stay informed.

I find myself checking out pretty often and just making myself feel bad about the state of the world, or killing half an hour on stupid games that I could 100% live without. This is probably pretty common, and I’m wondering what other people have found as a way to do more productive things with their phones in the downtime.

I mean, I see chats as one continuous conversation and unless the conversation has been properly ended, it shouldn’t be necessary even if a night has passed.

Both are pastes made of mashed beans (peanuts and chickpeas are beans.) They also have a similar nutrient profile and are both used for similar dishes.

Recently discovered The Art of Noise by looking up Max Headroom. Found a bunch of tracks I like that fit well with my already existing Spotify playlists....

From the lore of the Predator species, a Predator who goes for a hunt is trying to prove they are worthy of adult status in their society. As each Predator dies in the film they fail to attain adult status in their society.

It could be physically, mentally or in some cases spiritually
