How to convey the sheer drama of federated social networks when talking to friends?
Sometimes I struggle to convey what continues to fascinate me about dezentraly organized social media - its like explaining to someone who never played Go why its awesome who never played it....
Protest Songs: why do I feel like there were many more (and many more that were popular) in the 60’s and 70’s?
I’m a guy approaching 60, so I’ll start by saying my perception may be wrong. That could be because the protest songs from the late 60’s and early 70’s weren’t the songs I heard live on the radio but because they were the successful ones that got replayed. More likely, it’s because music is much more fractured than...
Can somebody explain defederation in simple layman terms please?
I have seen that word tossed around lately and I am not completely confident that I know what it means. Thank you.
To those who use IPTV services, why?
There are quite a few cheap IPTV subscriptions out there with 50k+ channels, but my question is, why do you still watch live TV? With piracy, you can grab any movie or TV show you want and watch it on demand with Jellyfin or Plex. Am I missing out by not watching TV channels myself?
Is it just my parents, or do most Boomers view saying "please" and "thank you" as an afterthought?
They’ll ask me to do something, and then a few seconds later they add, “Please, thank you,” as if they realized that they have to say it.

Where is zsh supposed to be?
Hi all I have a quick question. Is it better for my zsh shell to be in /usr/bin/zsh or /bin/zsh. I remember reading that one of them would mess up the whole system since zsh is not posix compliant. I believe that szh shouldn’t be set as the root shell. I now have it in /usr/bin/zsh, is that good? So now when I drop into a root...
Men, how well do you know your best male friends?
I keep seeing men online (Reddit, Instagram, TikTok) saying how they don’t know personal details about their male friends of several years. It is mostly said in a proud context, or in disbelief when a woman talks about it....

Best practices for transferring an existing Linux installation from one drive to another?
Currently, my desktop computer has two storage devices attached: one 1TB NVME SSD, which has both Windows 10 and Linux Mint 21.2 installed on it (Each OS getting ~ 500 GB), and a 1TB SATA hard drive mostly used for Timeshift backups of the Linux Mint partition (Including my Home folder, for the record)....
Are androids even profitable in the US
I’ve been questioning if android is even profitable enough for manufacturers to justify it in the US, like apple has the largest market share in the US and I see that everyday. Nearly every phone I see is an iPhone. The android phones I do see are rarely flagships.
For those using VPS services, how do you go about keeping your data backed up?
I have been using a VPS for a while to host some personal projects and services that I have been using. Lately I have start to think to move all my git projects into it aswell. But at the moment, I’m not really sure how to go about off site backups of the data. How do you usually go about running backups on your servers?

Are there any apps that support RCS that aren’t made by Google or a crappy cellular provider (ie: bloatware Verizon apps)?...
Is it dumb to create a wiki in this day and age?
I have a vague idea to create a wiki for politics-related data. Basically, I’m annoyed with how low-effort, entirely un-researched content dominates modern politics. I think a big part of the problem is that modern political figures use social media platforms that are hostile to context and citing sources....

HDD or SSD?
Hello, everybody. I’ve been looking for a new storage solution. I know, that HDDs are reliable and SSDs are for fast access, but I’ve been an HDD user ever since. I have an SSD, but I only have the OS on it. Likewise, I want to do some basic File operations, as writing documents or copy files. It would also be great if I...
PSA: Be careful not to leave your Lemmy instances unmoderated
A while back I signed up to rammy.site a small lemmy instance run by a single person. It was a very nice instance, very stable and had pretty good access to other instances, or at least it used to. Recently though all of that has changed when the instance was taken over by far right-wing users from the right-wing instance known...
