I hate Google photos because I feel it’s too invasive with that cloud backup that you never really know if a photo is online or on device, so I disabled it in my Google Pixel....

My list of 40+ fake reddit posts.

Hello, I hope you remember my, I’m the fake poster. I did a full confession on Reddit, I compiled over 40 of my fake stories. I had chosen AmITheAngel because it is the most adequate place to talk about fake stories on Reddit....

Best distro for Hyprland?

So I’ve been using Linux for about a year and a half, have been using Window managers since a few wweks in, have been using Wayland for the last 3 months or so, and have been using Hyprland for about a month. I love it and I want to stick with it in the long term, but I need a distro that supports it....

I'm so conditioned by ads on social media that I automatically inspect Lemmy posts when I'm browsing.

I’m getting better at it though.

Does Lemmy strip photo GPS data?

It’s Saturday night: let’s speculate wildly on the ID of the BBC presenter giving a kid money for blow!

No luck getting my Lemmy instance up and running, is this a good place to get some help?

I’m not exactly a linux beginner but I’m far from an expert and I could use some pointers. I have a domain and a VPS through Namecheap, I chose Ubuntu 20.04 LAMP and I’ve tried several guides to get this working but something always goes wrong sooner or later....

What does the Hot sorting actually mean?

Right now I have my feed sorted by Hot. The sixth post in my feed is 19 days old, has zero comments, and one upvote. I’m struggling to work out what algorithm is deciding this is a Hot post

Should I have separate Lemmy and Mastodon accounts?

I am still learning this whole thing and I ended up creating accounts here and on Mastodon. Is that necessary or do I automatically have a Mastodon username with my Lemmy? I used the same stuff on both accounts, can I merge them or something?...

TV Tuesday

Been to see the new Indiana Jones movie? Binged a great series? What have you been watching, and should we watch it too?

Why is the most popular computer os closed source while the most popular mobile os is open source?

I don’t understand why Google didn’t just made Android closed source. They would’ve made custom roms impossible and therefore more able to control and spy on it’s users. Why did Google made Android open source, while Microsoft’s Windows is still closed source to this day?

wefwef is so great

I just want to praise wefwef. On iOS it is a great app alternative which you can add to the homepage....

If everyone moved to open source non-profit solutions, the tech industry would lose billions

I’m a FOSS (free and open source software) contributor and enthusiast. So I prefer to use such products (Lemmy instead of Reddit, Linux instead of Windows, Firefox instead of Chrome, Signal instead of WhatsApp, you get the idea). Was just thinking that if everyone moved to such solutions, the tech and ad industry would lose...
