On the future of Lemmy vs reddit
Please indulge a few shower thoughts I had:...
Bunch downloading torrent files
ok, i usually get a big bunch of .torrent files once a month, run a short filtering and dump them all into transmission on a seedbox....
Delicate Balance
A person that lives without any rules like an animal, a person that stictly follws rules without exceptions is like a machine. Neither is desirable. Wisdom is having the experience and judgement to know when to do which.
Russia strikes blood transfusion center as world leaders meet to discuss peace
A Russian “guided air bomb” hit a blood transfusion center in northeast Ukraine Saturday night, killing two people and injuring four, Ukrainian officials said....
Weekly low-hanging fruit thread #9
This thread is where all the takes from idiots (looking at you Armchair Warlord) and screenshots of twitter posts/youtube thumbnails go.
How does hide read threads work?
Do they get unhidden on new activity? I assume not. Would it be plausible to implement the option to hide seen threads until new stuff arises and maybe dictate the amount of new comments till it shows up again?
Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is a fractured mess and easily the worst of the series
Finally got round to seeing Guardians 3… What a waste of 2 1/2 hours that was. I enjoyed the first 2, but 3 was just terrible. The “story” is awful. Numerous, cheesy, cliché bits thrown together here and there. Nothing interesting or very cohesive. Nothing ever had a sense of consequence....
Zoom/discord/twitch self hosted options
I’d like to host a game night for friends and family where we play games like jackbox. I’d like to self host the service and give anyone a url and possibly a user name/password combination to access it. I’d like audio and video support as well as the ability to screen share and have a text chat option. I know there are a...
What's your favorite Linux distro?
What games have you played with community run multiplayer mods?
For example Project Cartographer describes itself as the following...
Text-based games!(?)
Even though we got a computer in the mid to late 90’s, a shitty DOS-box that no-one kind of really knew how to do anything with, I was infinitely interested in anything to do with it. I remember playing Guerrilla Wars and some dungeon crawlers on it and such, but I feel like I almost entirely missed out on text-based games. I...
Brief report on ElecGear Hall effect analog sticks for Steam Deck
A few reports over the past month on Reddit (www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/…/jq251yj/ and reddit.com/…/psa_elecgear_hall_effect_sticks_are_…) indicate that ElecGear does not suffer the infamous outer dead zone issue featured in e.g. GuliKit V1 and V2. On the corresponding Amazon page ElecGear also advertise that...
Curious, how many users here actually use ActivityPub's capabilities to see other social media sites?
I’ve always wondered how many people actually decide to use something like mastodon to see Lemmy posts. I mean I know how inadequate it can be with a lack of a proper UI but I’m just wondering. Especially, with the infinite possibilities this can have.
A little history on Reddit. From the politics subreddit with just 85,678 users in 2008 to 500 million active users today. Lemmy/Kbin will follow the same path.
This is going to be a short and sweet little history of Reddit. Reddit was founded in 2005....
The DualSense game controller just went on sale
Heads up for those who want a game controller that works well on Linux: Target.com has the DualSense for $50 USD right now....
Can I remove part of the web a daddy long legs has woven without harming them?
This spider has taken residence in a corner of one of the rooms, I’m not bothered by them but the web is getting a bit too big… can I just remove part of it to keep the size in check without causing harm to the spider?
Need a foot finding your lost socks?
I’ve found all your lost socks, but unfortunately they’re all on the hidden feet you’ll never meet!...
How can i become a true pirate?
Hello. I have now recently set up an i2p torrenting system connected to jellyfin. The upside is that I pay zero to vpns and i2p actually has a pretty awesome selection of movies and tv shows (postman ftw). For real, i feel like i2p is where it’s at right now in the torrenting world, as it completely bypasses the need to trust...
Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of August 6th
Hey all! Another weekly thread is here....
Is "Figure it out yourself" pretty much a tactical retreat?
Weird question, maybe pointless, and yeah, kinda petty I will admit, but eh, there’s no stupid questions and I kinda got curious after an interaction (see after the dots if your curious)....

Web Based Static Site Generator?
That may seem like an oxymoron, but I’m looking for some sort of server that I can self-host where I can edit blog posts and whatnot, but that then deploys to something like neocities (or any other pure static host)....
What is going on with the number of active users?
Hey there everyone! I have a possibly noobish question about the number of active users....
MSI Laptop wakes up immediately after entering sleep mode
