how is Lemmy going for you?
Now that a lot of the commotion has subsided I’m just curious to know how y’all are finding the Lemmy experience in general and whether you use it regularly like you did reddit?
Pinry - help!
Can anyone help me with Pinry?...
What do you do when a great book has an absolutely uninteresting storyline?
I always say to myself that it is not worth to force books through. I do like 1/5th then I drop it if it did not catch me. Now I’m reading Pandora’s star which is a great scifi book and sandwitched inbetween the great scfi chapters there is this uninteresting detective storyline with zero scifi, people talking to eachother...
Convert m4p files? (iTunes DRM?)

It is a good idea to post a TL;DW when posting a video link.
I have noticed that some users here don’t have time to watch videos. I think on most of the video links I share here, there are always users commenting that it is better to read an article than watching this video. To be honest, I don’t like all this complaining. It is kind of annoying....
Tracking battery current in Linux
Hello folks, is there a tool in Linux to track how much current the battery is pulling during charging? In Android there is Ampere that does this, and I’m looking for something similar. This nicely shows for example that my Android device is charging the battery with 1.5A right now.
Should UI frameworks have separate files for UI and application code?
Do you prefer to use UI frameworks which make a distinction between UI files and application code (e.g. Qt, GTK, Angular) or do you prefer to define the UI in the application code (e.g. Flutter, Jetpack Compose, React)?
Have you ever apologized to someone you wronged for a very long time, or received an unexpected apology in a similar way?

How about Vivaldi Browser?

Issues installing GTA V via lutris on fresh arch install
I’m trying to install the lutris install script for gta v (rockstar launcher version), but the installer is stuck at “preparing to install”. The main thing that bugs me out though, is the fact that it just keeps filling up my memory until my pc freezes....
Are there any pitfalls to avoid in buying PCIe/m.2 adapters?
I’m planning on giving an older machine a small upgrade with an SSD, but since that machine does not have an m.2 port, I was thinking about buying the cheapest PCIe adapter I could find. Besides the obvious stuff like ports, PCIe gen and lane count, is there anything I should look out for? Specifically regarding Linux?
Regular posters, which communities are you currently focusing on?
Hello everyone,...
How often do you get existential dread?
I’m pushing half a century in an industry that is not kind to old guys. I try to fend it off but every now and then it hits me. I’m pretty sure this is not unique to my life experience, or it wouldn’t have a term :-)
(rec) riseup vpn is a free VPN that supports P2P
Riseup vpn is a free, donations based VPN, that doesn’t require an account and has no logs policey. They doesn’t have lots of serves like Protonvpn for example but they’re running for years and support P2P, so if someone is too short for paying for a VPN, I think its a pretty good for some use cases.

How racist/controversial would this skit from the 90's be today?
To summarize, this scandinavian comedy trio from the 90’s made a parody of Miami Vice. This being 90’s scandinavia, you can probably guess that the actors/comedians didn’t exactly have the melanin-credentials of parodying the black guy from Miami Vice, so one of them instead wore blackface (well, brownface would perhaps be...

can anyone suggest a good selfhosted email client? with iOS app or PWA
Not looking for a server as I use fastmail currently but a client would be nice. I am currently using spark on iOS and Mac OS and just fastmail website on my Linux desktop. I’m realizing spark is nothing special and would rather not renew my subscription.
