Random Account Suspension

Title is pretty much it. Woke up this morning to an email in the inbox with a reddit message notification from u/reddit...

What are you playing this week?

Why won't fediverse instances bloat and pop?

If content on the fediverse is federated and copied to local instances, then won't instances have to hold onto a forever increasing amount of data?

Second day home alone and I've become an absolute savage

It’s day 2 of my 3.5 day stint home alone without supervision....

YSK: Your phone camera's aspect ratio is 4:3; setting it to anything else crops your photos

Why YSK: I’ve been seeing an increasing number of phone photos shared online in 9:16, 9:21 or similarly tall aspect ratios, often with parts of the subject cut off. I’ve asked a few people why they cropped their images that way, and none of them knew they were cropped.

I'm downloading so many YouTube videos!

Very happy about since I won’t have wifi for around a month.

What's your favorite memory from the early internet?

MEGATHREAD: whatever the hell is going on in Russia right now

please post any subsequent updates here unless they're huge happenings. i just woke up and half our news front page is updates which is nice but also A Lot and most of these don't have to be their own thread

You can have any superpower, but the first person to reply chooses a side effect

self-explanatory!!

YSK: You can view upvote and downvote information through kbin

Why YSK: your upvotes (favorites) and downvotes( reduces) are public information....

Chain restaurant fees are getting absurd

I got this fun fee after trying to order takeout from Buffalo Wild Wings (yes I'm naming and shaming). How exactly does adding a dollar help you operate takeout? It's literally less work than waiting on a table. This is nothing more than a shameful cash grab to pad profits....

As much as I appreciate all that (vintage) Star Trek was trying to do, handling of a lot of women's issues were problematic or nonexistent.

I’m making my way through DS9 for the first time (almost finished with season two). For reference, I’ve seen TOG, TNG, all the new movies, Discovery, Lower Decks, and SNW. DS9 season one was a little slow to pick up, but my husband and I are loving season two. As always, Star Trek addresses a lot of hard hitting issues in...

YSK that you can edit titles on Lemmy, unlike Reddit.

Why YSK: You might be used to Reddit where you can’t edit titles. This is important both for the errant poster, but also for the person coming from ages in the future who might stumble upon it.

Populating self-hosted Lemmy instance

Hello!...

We're growing quite fast! Let's discuss our future and what you'd like us to do. [META]

Hello everyone! First of all, I’d like to say thank you to every one of you for your support! Our community is about to be the first user-made one to reach 1K users/week on this instance. And our friends over at Ask Lemmy and Mildly Infuriating are following very closely, which is just as amazing!...

What is a childish thing you still fully enjoy as an adult?

For me, I’m nearly 40 and I really love Avatar the last Airbender, reading YA novels, and sometimes I make pasta with fun shapes, just because I can....

What's the best Lemmy app right now?

So far Jerboa seems like the move, Thunder looks nicer, but it doesn’t seem to play nice with this instance so that’s kind of dead in the water, at least for now.

Casual game recommendations?

I’m looking for PC games that I can play while listening to podcasts- games that don’t have engaging cut scenes or important dialogue, games that honestly don’t require a lot of skill or thought....

Battlestations! What are you gaming on?

Text descriptions, neofetches, photos; it’s all fine!

Dispose of financial records? You got it, boss.

So I once made the mistake permitting a client to store some (say a dozen) boxes of financial records in my home for a couple of weeks. By 'permit', I mean they just dumped them there, and I didn't physically restrain them from leaving. This is in Vietnam, where you are required by law to keep your corporate records for 35...
