I’m envisioning a hypothetical future where, alongside competing with platforms like Reddit/Twitter/Instagram/etc, federated platforms compete with retail or service-providing platforms like Amazon, Uber, Fiverr, Airbnb, etc, platforms that primarily just serve to connect users to other users and handle transactions between...

Why YSK: there are times when you need to not be stinky. A multi-day outing with friends staying in one house comes to mind. Taking bismuth subgallate will make even your vilest poops and farts smell like absolutely nothing. In the US, it’s FDA approved for that purpose and comes in chewable tablets.

I mean, it’s usually used to undermine a cause by killing their leaders, but their death can also cause them to become a martyr and get even more support. Which is generally true for the majority of assassinations?...

(To be clear, I’m more interested in the reach and scaling of gravity.)...

Just thought I’d share something I thought was pretty interesting. I have a mother in law who is… well let’s just say she’s a stereotypical older mom who doesn’t own a computer, just an iPad. During the pandemic, she started getting into Nintendo games and bought herself a Switch. Fast forward a few years later and...

About a week ago I setup Ubuntu as my primary OS on an old machine. It is my first time trying a unix based OS (previously windows).

I was completely blown away! Holy crap!

I’m struggling to figure out where to ask what happened to my favorite Lemmy instances. Is there a community I’m not aware of that might be a good place to ask these questions?

The reason I’m asking this is the company I work for develops an application which has a barcode reader functionality. The device we develop these softwares for has a very limited resolution camera (2MP). Now they want me to set a benchmark for the maximum length barcode pattern which is scannable. So what I’m trying to do...

I’m looking to connect my PC in my home office to my living room TV. Right now I’m looking at unpowered usb over cat5/6 and powered HDMI over cat5/6. Both of the adapters say they’re good for ~150’ and I’d be doing a 40’ cable run with pre terminated cat6. Cost of about $70 for adapters and cable on amazon....

Edit: I meant specifically humans.

Basically what the title says. I’ve only played two games like this so far (Silent Hill 2 and OMORI) and am looking for more....

Mine is the lag in Stellaris, and lack of options to let me impact it. Like let me disable the ability for the AI to make habitats FFS!

Just came across this on an old wish list, had completely forgotten about it!...
