Obviously, most social networks have some sort of engagement button for liking/up voting/promoting a piece of content. As well as helping users feel like they’re participating, rather than just passively consuming, most networks also use the likes/ups to filter or promote content to other users....

I’m going to horribly oversimply this. For example. Say I am wearing a shirt a cheap one for Wal-Mart....

I’ve heard a lot of people say your swap should be 2x RAM… but do I really need 32GB of swap?

I don’t want to block all nsfw content but I really don’t want to have to block every new porn community that pops up on lemmynsfw. Is there a way to block all the communities that originate at lemmynsfw?

They work by giving you a random email address that is available for a short time (ex. 10min) and an inbox for any messages you recieve during that time (ex. an email verification message from a Lemmy server)...

Sorting Type...

Perhaps this is a dark thought… but I’m wondering what the future Lemmy equivalents to “We did it Reddit!” or “Thanks for the gold kind stranger!” will be....

Looking for some good headphones to use for listening to music, and gaming. Could do wireless.. but I feel like USB or 3.5 mm connection would be best. Seems like a lot of the big brands have stuff locked into their windows apps....

Hi!...

My old setup was:...

I know that communities don’t translate well to Mastodon, I just find it a little odd how it seems to be a firehose of all comments in a community when viewed in Mastodon. I was expecting it to “repost” posts submitted to the community and have comments in the replies to those posts. Just something odd I was thinking...

If I have a home server connected to Proton Drive for example, would that be sufficient to back up my data?

This is inspired by this advice from a few months ago:...

Do any of you have a plan in place for how to tune into the 2024 Paris Olympics? I’ve got a good Jellyfin ecosystem set up to watch my video files and listen to my music, but I haven’t explored many ways to watch live sports content yet. What is the best way to tune in to the events at the Paris Olympics this summer?...

I’m working on my transition plan away from Windows and testing out various things in VMs as I do so, and one big hurdle is making sure the VPN client my work requires can connect. Bazzite is my target distro (primarily gaming, work less frequently), though other more traditionally structured ones like Pop!_OS and Garuda are...

Just a shower thought. Seeing how these structures took decades to build in their times, and that too entirely with manual labour, I was wondering how long these architectural marvels would take to be built in this post modern era with the help of our technological advancements....

Stupid question but is it possible to get a virus from an MKV file that is less than 24 hours old. I was streamed using VLC version 3.0.20 form the repose on Linux.

Among some friends I seem to be the odd one out who doesn’t like heat and the sun. To me an overcast fall day, 10C is perfect. Rain is welcome if it does not overstay its welcome.

Just trying to check and make sure I never missed any. Is it just writefreely and plume right now?

I’m sick of my laptop breaking after just three years. I want a laptop that:...

Has anyone ever given any thought to trying to capture all the floodwaters that seem to be increasing lately, and moving them to the more drought affected areas?

There are so many out there, a few that I came across include:...

I’ll start off, my favorite song is all along the watch tower by Jimi Hendrix. That guitar at the start just sounds so beautiful.
