What brought you to Lemmy?

If you could give 10 years of development time to up to 10 software projects, which would you choose?

You can choose up to 10 software projects....

Why are there so many expensive homes?

I see a lot of expensive houses being built in my area. A LOT. And the weird thing is that they’re being bought pretty quickly. Are these people just making more money than me? If so, what are they doing for a living? Or are they just living house poor? How exactly are they affording these places?...

What's the history behind cam rips of movies and where have they typically came from?

I’ve seen a few throughout my life at friend’s houses as a kid during the age of Limewire. Typically they were pretty good quality even though you’d see the odd person get up from their seat or hardcoded subtitles. Lately I’ve been curious about the history behind them and how they came to be....

What is your unbiased opinion on Manjaro?

I am a Linux noobie and have only used Mint for around six months now. While I have definitely learned a lot, I don’t have the time to always be doing crazy power user stuff and just want something that works out of the box. While I love Mint, I want to try out other decently easy to use distros as well, specifically not based...

Yoyager is now on the Playstore

Voyager has now been released to the Playstore. Check it out here...

I switched from Nixos to void Linux. Here's my experience so far.

I hopped from arch (2010-2019) to Nixos (2019-2023). I had my issues with it but being a functional programmer, I really liked the declarative style of configuring your OS. That was until last week. I decided to try out void Linux (musl). I’m happy with it so far....

What is the best way to be a good user/citizen of the Fediverse?

AsI understand it someone is paying for me to use this so should I try to limit my time here to keep their costs down? Should I avoid leaving it open casually? Is there a way to support instances that I enjoy?

I think I would take monarchy over whatever this corpo hellscape is. At least a monarch can be overthrown. How can you overthrow a multi-national corporation?

Do you feel, as I do, that this adblocker ban by Youtube will harm all of Alphabet's companies? [discussion]

I mean, I dont actually mind ads… within reason. But over the past few years I have watched less and less youtube content due to the ratio of ads to the actual bloody content I wanted to view....

Crazy? I Was Crazy Once. They Locked Me In A Room. A Rubber Room. A Rubber Room With Rats. And Rats Make Me Crazy.

What game did you find in a bargain bin that turned out to be awesome? For me it was Z by Bitmap Brothers which I got at Zellers for $0.47

If you’re thinking of buying Z now - the modern remake is a careless trash port FYI

Where does Lemmy store upvotes, downvotes, and replies?

Does ActivityPub send those to other instances, or does ActivityPub only send the original post and the rest (upvotes, downvotes, replies) are stored only on the original server where the post was made?

Are you holding off on any game in particular right now?

I suppose Baldur’s Gate 3 could be an example for a lot of people. Any recent or just “recent” release you are waiting for to get at the moment?

NSFW: I am a trans girl who is drunk and high at the same time, AMA!

Give me your worst, Lemmy! Absolutely nothing is off limits. Let’s get fucking weird!...

Why words like 'okay' and 'taxi' are universally understood across the world but survival related ones like 'help', 'water', 'food' remained nation specific?

What do you think human civilization will look like in 10 years?

That thin line of dust left over when you sweep into a dustpan is a real-life zemo paradox.

The dust line thinneth but never gone.

Used Windows today since months

I started daily driving Linux since I left school this year and used it before but mainly windows because school wanted us to run Word, Teams, etc. Today I wanted to play games and haven’t set up my device for gaming and didn’t want to download the game twice (good internet). Like a good PC user I wanted to do my updates. It...
