Is there an easy way to see if something is an instance or community on the fediverse, or ‘just’ a forum on the web? For instance, would it always be mentioned in a sidebar? I know there are lists of instances, but i am hoping for something easier. I might be overlooking something glaringly obvious, but i thought i would...

I have assembled my desktop PC about 2 years ago. It’s fairly beefy (AMD Ryzen 9 3950X 16-Core Processor, 128Go RAM, nVidia RTX 3080 Ti). It’s running debian stable....

i cannot possibly express how much of a gigantic pain in the ass this is; it’s making more more slovenly than i want to be because it’s such an inconvenience to throw stuff away....

Totally not a an AI asking this question.

I had been wanting to learn how to play the guitar for years, but laziness, i guess, kept me from it. I picked it up with moderate seriousness and am very greatful i did. I wish i would’ve started sooner.

I’m using a Sony BRAVIA TV equipped with Google TV. A Pioneer Elite home theater system is plugged in to the ARC-enabled HDMI port. When I try to adjust the volume with the TV remote, the receiver only changes the volume within a range that isn’t perfectly consistent; usually displaying around -45 dB at minimum to -30 dB at...

I just started watching Voyager on Paramount Plus today, and noticed that the first two episodes, which are shown together, are presented as the appropriate 4:3 aspect ratio, but Episode 3 “Parallax” is presented in a distorted 16:9 or 16:10 format. I see no option to change this in Paramount Plus settings, and my Vizio TV...

I’m in the market for a new laptop. I’m currently considering the Framework 16 but I’m wondering if there’s anything else I should look at. The System 76 Adder WS seems like a better value, but I’m hesitant to buy Nvidia....

Reading Antifragile by Nassim Taleb was eye-opening for me. I turn to the concepts of the book whenever I feel unsure about a decision or opinion.

I want to upgrade my Pis to something more reliable and not SD-card based and refurbished thinclients/SFF workstations seem to be a viable route. Does anyone have a cheap source for used hardware like this in Germany? I feel like the usual esm-computer, green-IT etc. are a bit overpriced.

A lot of music— especially metal— is known for having lyrics that sound cool and evoke a specific feeling but that don’t actually have any coherence. Creek Mary’s Tears tells a specific message; but for the most part Nightwish’s lyrics don’t....

Hi everyone , is there an Lemmy community like feddifollows in Mastodon to discover interesting Lemmy communities?

I’m on android and I’m wondering if there’s any way to skip the ads without getting premium? I don’t need the premium features necessarily but I hate the ads interrupting my practice. Anyone have any reliable leads? Thank you.

Chromium has better features, but with google announcing its plan to ‘drm the internet’ I 'm not sure if it’d be a good idea.

Hope text posts are okay. Weird request I know but, I was just thinking of the song “Blow up the Pokies” and it kind of reminded me of a certain mood of depressing Australian music that I kind of like to wallow in sometimes, I feel like I heard this kind of thing a lot in the 90s but can’t think of many examples. The...
