How do you currently handle Covid infections?
Should I still isolate myself after a positive test? Is it ok to do my own shopping (with a mask) or should I call someone? Do I still wait for a negative test or simply to be free of symptoms? Since people around me don’t really talk about Covid anymore and my country doesn’t have any guidelines in place, I’d be...

What's your favorite music trope?
Can be from any genre. Mine is when an acoustic guitar comes in towards the end of a song and totally changes or reframes the mood/energy (see “Money” by Widowspeak)
if trains honk at every crossing (in the US), shouldn't cars be honking at every crosswalk?

ELI5: How is Amazon able to sell me books so much cheaper than brick and mortar book stores in my area
I like shopping in book stores. There’s something about wandering the aisles and waiting for a book to jump out at you that I can’t get shopping online. Unfortunately, whenever I compare the price of a book Amazon has every in-person store beat, often pricing their offerings 30%-50% lower (or around $10/book in my...

In my understanding of the main principles of the Fediverse, federating with any large corp should never even be considered. Is my understanding wrong? What is the "idea of the fediverse" to you?
There is one argument I’ve seen missing in most of the de/federation discussions, that I think should be mentioned, and warrants it’s own discussion....

Is there a major difference between Lemmy and Beehaw (or other federated instances)?
Hello everyone! Long time redditor, first time poster to Lemmy.world. As I’m learning more about the Fediverse, I’m seeing there are several instances that seem to serve the same purpose. For example, Lemmy and Beehaw seem to be similar, yet they are still separate....

According to Steam's terms and conditions can they remove games from your library and are Steam emulators allowed?
This is in reference to a post titled https://leminal.space/post/1113224. The title is kind of self-explanatory and piracy was brought up in the comments. Someone mentioned GOG and Steam granting users indefinite licenses to users regardless of whether or not the game is still being sold....
In The Empire Strikes Back, why does Han significantly outrank Luke?
Luke blew up the freakin’ Death Star and he only gets to be commander. Han wants to skip out on the whole rebellion thing and he gets to be a general.
