Why do so many mobile versions of sites run worse on phone than desktop versions?

I swear every mobile site is absolute garbage that runs like ass on phones.

Robert Heinlein's idea of the perfect crowd control drug- would you take Happiness daily?

In Robert Heinlein’s novel “Farnham’s Freehold”, the protagonists accidentally end up in a very technologically advanced feudal society that depends on a drug called “Happiness” to control things and keep social classes rigidly separated. The hypothesis of this question: the drug is a pleasant tasting drink you take...

Eyes are freaky af

Just stared into a lemurs eyes for half a minute aparently (that felt like an hour) and it freaked me tf out. Since been staring into peoples eyes or animals eyes and its consistently weird and freaky no matter what.

Which is your favorite Lemmy app?

Journal keepers of Lemmy: Do you go back and re-read old entries?

It’s one of those things I’ve never talked about with other people, the most I’ve really been exposed to journal keeping in pop culture is Doug Funny. People don’t talk about their personal journals....

why do americans seem to always have thick necks in photographs?

Both men and women. Is it to do with the way they smile/pose for the camera or something? Seriously, I can almost tell someone is American by the way their neck looks in a photo

The last piece of the puzzle that is the tearing protocol just fell into place

This MR just got merged: gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/…/19125...

Instance graveyard website

Is there a website that shows a list of dead instances and how long they were alive and why they died? I think that would be a cool website. It could be for Lemmy, Kbin, Mastodon, and everywhere else in the Fediverse!

People who work or study at night, how does it feel like?

Lightning McQueen is yesterday's Thomas the Tank Engine.

Both introduce the world to youngsters, but with different modes.

"Thank you For Your Service"... During the Revolutionary War!

I have a “baseball cap” style hat that I bought about 8 years ago and have rarely worn since....

Would there be interest and support in potentially building an art focused lemmy instance?

I’ve noticed a lot of people complain that niche communities aren’t really all that present here or are difficult to find. Having some consolidated in specific instances is very helpful for discovery as well as spreading the federation around....

Using radiotherapy to cure cancer which was caused by exposure to radioactive materials sounds a lot like homeopathy (except in this case it actually works)

favourite unknown artist?

While technically POSSIBLE, how viable is it to run Adobe apps, especially Premiere and After Effects, on Linux

I’m keeping it broad by not specifying a distro. I’m just curious is this a real option for actual editing professionals? As far as I understand you can make it work by running under Wine, but I’m guessing this comes with significant drawbacks. I’m having trouble finding any information on both the current state of...

"Phones" were named after the Greek word for "sound", but modern phones are used in silence as often as not.

TIL: The most living generations at once was 7, back in 1989. They each had their child between 18 to 20yrs of age

I was trying to figure out how many generations could theoretically exist at the same time, so I decided to first check Guinness. Hopefully I did all the math correctly.

Regarding Spoilers for the Upcoming Season

Greetings all! After a discussion with the mod team, we’ve decided to handle spoilers for the upcoming season as such:...

Are any of your friends on the fediverse too? If not, have you tried to get them to join?

I’ve been telling a lot of people about it, but everyone’s a skeptic. I’ve heard a lot of people saying that they’re just going to wait to see which Reddit clone comes out on top before switching. Most of them haven’t heard of the other parts of the fediverse like mastodon. I’d like to leave fb/instagram, but like...
