What is more mildly infuriating than reading a post complaining about someone else complaining? Adding another level!...
What reason could Zuckerberg and Meta possibly have for wanting to create a federated social media site?
I’m just curious what you folks think. The whole idea of the Fediverse seems to go against everything Meta has stops for with their existing platforms (Facebook and Instagram)....
Why shouldn't anyone switch to iOS?
I’m planning on switching platforms and I’m just curious of the opinions of people here. I think that Android can have advantages in areas of privacy and external app installation, but most of the benefits come with a lot of tinkering out of the box....
Is there a major difference between Lemmy and Beehaw (or other federated instances)?
Hello everyone! Long time redditor, first time poster to Lemmy.world. As I’m learning more about the Fediverse, I’m seeing there are several instances that seem to serve the same purpose. For example, Lemmy and Beehaw seem to be similar, yet they are still separate....
"Cis" and "trans" are different types of a person's.... what?
What are cis and trans alternate types of? I don’t think it’s “gender identity” because wouldn’t that just be man, woman or nonbinary regardless of whether they’re cis or trans? Cis/trans just being a qualifier?...
Oldest computer
Someone hacked a pregnancy test to play doom. There used to be a Reddit sub /r/itrunsdoom for unconventional media to run doom on.
Would you consider purple a warm blue or a cool red?
Why does lemmy.ml use the "ML" country code for Mali?

And they don't fold well either
What is your favorite movie? Or, what is your favorite genre of film?
I’m trying to get a gauge of what people here are interested in.

What are some things that absolutely should NOT be recycled?
I’ll start… toilet paper, tampons, and QTips…
The interior of your house is hot, the exterior cool. What would the most efficient orientation be for a box fan? Pushing hot air out of a window or pulling cool air in through it? (Solved)*
Secondarily, should the fan be outside or inside the window?...
OpenSUSE is the best
Hear me out, the mascot is a freaking chameleon, that’s cool as shit man....
What are the applications that I can remove from Mint? + Mini Rant.
What are the packages that comes default with Linux Mint Cinnamon that I can remove without any problems....
Have you seen someone die in front of you?
And I’m not talking about autopsy videos or banned stuff, I’m talking about real life experiences…...
Maybe many Lemmy users don't understand "shower thoughts" because they don't shower.
Some of the posts in this community are just crazy out of whack.
Dealing with games that just won't run on Linux
How are people coping with games that just won’t run on Linux (aside from leaving them behind)? Do you dual boot Windows? Virtualize? What’s your strategy for this?...
anti-snap stance is anti-consumer
The title is a quote from Mastodon. I’ve always seen dislike towards snap so I was taken back when I saw this stance. The person who wrote this was referring to Tuxedo Laptops....

Linux on old School Machines?
Hi all, the private school I work at has a tonne of old windows 7/8 era desktops in a student library. The place really needs upgrades but they never seem to prioritise replacing these machines. Ive installed Linux on some older laptops of mine and was wondering if you all think it would be worth throwing a light Linux distro on...
Do you use both a personal desktop and laptop?
I’m moreso curious if laptop functions have been offloaded to phones. If you have a full gaming desktop, do you see the use case for an additional laptop? or if most people here don’t see the need for the increased processing power of a desktop, do you just use your laptop and a phone?...
streaming or torrenting today vs. 5 years ago
I’ve been a good boy for 5 years or so but the seas call to me. Are streaming sites the way to go now or is torrenting still a better bet for mainstream movies and tv? I’d imagine all of my accounts have been deleted on those sites so I’d be starting over.
There are songs we've gone our whole lives without hearing and the best song we've ever heard might still be out there.
text clarity on windows is so good, can I get the same on linux?
I tried different font settings in the font settings and it didn’t improve much (font hinting, anti aliasing, custom DPI settings, different font size)...
