Think of the universe as a painting. There’s the image made in paint, and the surface it was painted on. The canvas....

I grew up hearing all the talking heads (media), religious groups and parents strongly criticizing video games. You’ve, probably, heard some of this. For example, video games involving any type of violence causing people to become more violent, etc. As far as I know, the academic community has failed to produce any negative...

it feels similar in egregious price to getting room service, and you don’t even have to talk to the guy, and you can convince yourself it’s nice to treat yourself you’ve been working hard etc etc. you don’t have to do any dishes or think about all the rotten shit in the fridge. it can feel like a legitimate mental break,...

Hello,...

I’m having the hardest tine setting up a shared folder between a Linux host and Win11guest. I want to get rid of dual boot, but there are a few programs that I use which are Win only. I have set up a VB VM, but I want a fine tuned KVM VM. On VB sharing is trivial, but I can’t get it to work in KVM. I have the host sharing...

So I have this external 2.5" drive salvaged from an old laptop of mine. I was trying to use it to backup/store data but the transfer to the drive fails repeatedly at the ~290GB mark leading me to believe that maybe there is a bad sector on the drive. I tried to inspect the drive using smartmontools and smartctl but since it is...

Well, as the title says, I’ve had a few notifications that alerted over night and I’m wanting to sleep instead...

They say that he who creates AGI will control the entire world. I wouldn’t want America to dominate earth with their misaligned AI.

I’ve been trying to get my head around this and I’ve watched a few videos but they don’t seem to specifically answer my question....

In recent days we have been giving home to a black kitten less than a month old yet to be named, the thing is that we already have a cat at home. My cat “Rubia” has been with us for 13 years now, beyond having lost her eyesight due to age, she is very healthy. But since the new kitty arrived I have seen her very stressed....

Apple’s Music app (formerly itunes) is only playing half of the tracks of a recently downloaded album. It then inexplicably skips to (or through) the next songs similarly....

Is there a lemmy community, for example, where people discuss shopping strategies which minimize the risk of the purchase decision being influenced by Brand Image or Flashy Packaging? Or similar topics. Maybe what product categories have cheapest products that are bad, so you can’t apply an objective criterion while making the...

If someone suddenly attacks me with a pocket knife, for example, they’ll most likely immediately go right for my belly, since I am 6’5" tall, and stab or rip it open. Therefore, I’m curious how fatal and painful such a wound is?

There’s a good crossover between the best Rugby nations and the best Cricketing nations; I’m assuming this is down to good old fashioned British colonialism?...

So one of my kids is highly allergic to cats, but really wants a pet cat. I thought a good solution would be to get a cat girl. My wife is not totally thrilled by the idea, but I’m sure I could convince her. What are your thoughts?...

Im looking for some writing inspiration. Im looking for not so known elements of different cultures that would make incredible powers.

I used to play the hell out of 1 and 2 back in the PS2 days, but I haven’t touched the series beyond that, and haven’t even played 1/2 much in the last 10 years....

For example, if you said that someone had been fooled by something, would they take offense and think you’re calling them a fool or foolish?...

Hey y’all! What have you been playing?...

I’ve been self-hosting my music in Navidrome for the last 3 or 4 years and in general I’ve been very satisfied. Before that I was using an old iPod. The key difference I haven’t been able to recreate in Navidrome is a feeling of my own curated library where I scroll through and recognize all the artists. When I set up...

I can’t even figure out how to tell if it’s supported or not. If it is supported, I can’t figure out how to enable it. If it is enabled, idk where I should be seeing it in proxmox!...

After i joined the Fediverse, i deleted my accounts on Reddit, Twitter & Facebook a few days later. Yesterday, i deleted TikTok too and i will delete Instagram more or less soon. I hope some friends will change to the Fedi until then....
