when creating a new community, what's the difference between the name, and display name?

Does the name need to be like the URL, or just what you wanna call the community? There’s a little help icon next to the text box, but tapping it doesn’t seem to make any help text show up....

[Germany] Former Employers can make you lose a month of unemployment benefits

A federated or FOSS variant of IMDB?

We have bookwyrm.social, which does an excellent job at replacing the need for goodreads (which is owned by Amazon). But is there an alternative to imdb.com?

Leftist circlejerks everywhere

Am I the only one who gets bunch of posts from leftist and even communist subs/circlejerks in their feed? It’s kinda weird to see genzedong and similar popping up in hot/rising feed. This just hopefully some of the growing pains of a new platform.

Car stereo/amp question

I’m putting a smallish (200x2) amp in my car Real Soon Now. The factory head unit can drive the speakers well enough to sound good enough for background music or an audiobook, but when I really want to play music it sounds not awesome. Better than a clock radio from 1992 but not by much....

Ongoing and curated list of good streaming science videos?

Does Meta Collect a Wider Range of Data than Google?

Although I’ve always believed that Google collects more, it seems that Meta gets maligned more frequently than Google in the eyes of the general public. Since then I’ve been growing curious on the matter. Should Meta deserve less respect on this subject than Google?

Burger cart burgers in Venezuela 20 years ago

I went to Venezuela back in 2000 and there were all these burger carts that sold these little delicious burgers. I remember them having really thin meat pattys and but loaded with toppings and have been trying to figure out what the toppings were....

How can I cast photos and videos from an Android phone to a Windows PC? (no screen mirroring, have the PC act as a chromecast or similar device instead)

Do you prefer contacts or glasses? Why?

FPS titles with great environmental world-building? e.g. Alien: Isolation, Metro, DOOM '16, even Portal 2 counts -- games that feel like real, lived-in places and not just a series of arenas.

For example, I didn’t fall in love with Titanfall 2’s environmental art design—it felt a bit generic to me, like it was meant to be the backdrop for a shooter, as opposed to the Sevastopol in A:I or the station in SOMA that felt like existing locations....
