I’ve gotten so tired of the non-stop reddit/lemmy/mastodon/threads drama I pulled the plug on all recurring donations for the foreseeable future. Thanks to threads the fedverse is starting the reddit style drama cycles and I’m pretty much over trying to sort through it....
If not, how do we get one going? I’m new to Lemmy and /r/FreeGameFindings + /r/AppLab are the top subs that I would want to see recreated here!
Why YSK: it doesn't matter how original you might think you are, they have heard them before. Numerous times in fact. If you're in the habit of making name-based jokes as soon as you meet someone you should stop. At best you're mildly annoying the person, at worst you're preventing what could have been a great friendship before...

There have been reports of YouTubers I watch getting sick after eating food in third world countries. However, these countries are also home to a large number of people who do not get sick from eating the same food. I think this suggests that the locals may have developed stronger immune systems. What do you think?
Looking for new books to read as I am preparing to head out on a much needed vacation and want to dig into some good reading. Can be fiction or nonfiction, just so long as it hooked you and made you want to keep reading and reading until the end.
So far I found the fastest pipeline to get good results is to use Google Photos editor as a Google One subscriber. Most useful tools are Al sharpen, portrait blur, portrait lightong (not always good). Basic color/brightness tools work great....
I teach English and I need the Reach Higher G4A level and higher. There used to be a store online, but they were banned. I guess they didn’t sell a legit copy of the book....
If you post on Threads, will it also appear on Lemmy since they both uses ActivityPub protocol?
Why YSK: Makes editing text a lot easier....
Taken in my parents back yard. Lovely backdrop when grilling some burgers.
I keep wanting to use caddy instead of NPM but I just can’t get it to work. I think my use case fairly common (CF DNS and wanting Caddy Security.) but I can’t seem to wrap my head around the existing guides I’ve found....
Now before y’all throw pitchforks at me for a number of simplifications I made here, I did so with intent so let me break them down real quick....
For instance, I’m on Jury Duty in the US this week. Kinda a freebie but I still have to call in and input my “ID” number, birthday, and zip code before entering phone tree options to hear my summons status. So I saved a contact in my phone for the jury hotline with the main number, my Id number, birthday, zip code, and...
SF6 runs like a charm on the steam deck so I figured it would run fine on my desktop with Pop_OS. It doesn’t seem to launch at all, nothing happens when I click the launch button....
I’m considering joining my first private tracker. It turns out that most of them need you to pass an interview connected through your home IP. I understand this is a reasonable way to filter scammers and duplicate accounts. Still, to those who did it, how do you feel knowing your main IP is stored and associated to your...
I’m looking for a new colony sim on PC. What I’ve played so far are:...
This post is a sort of partial dump of my efforts towards an idea/proposal for improving discoverability and onboarding for the Fediverse while avoiding new users just being dumped on a centralised instance. I’ve seen people suggest that one of our secondary defenses from megacorp social media (like Meta) is improving our UI,...
