Why are so many countries in the world “developing” and poor, while essentially only Western countries have a high standard of living?
is there a limit to the point that i will find women attractive?
Context, I’m 30 now and i will find women my age and up attractive, but 15 years ago a 35 year old women would never have been attractive to me....
Looking for games with unique core mechanics
I’m requesting for recommendations for games that stand out from the rest in their genre, and not in the sense of being the best game in that niche but actually bringing something new and innovative to the table. I’ve not had much experience in gaming, but I have a few games to give you a hint on what I am talking about:...
Who is a Youtuber you find to be overrated ?
Those who are against iOS and Apple in general, have you tried their devices lately?
I am dissapointed in my peers. For years I have always been told to stay away from Apple devices and the company in general. However, no one who said that actually used their devices, or used them but not recently (some had like iPhone 4s in the past). Their knowledge was always based on some 3rd hand impressions or internet...
I just started using Linux... any great tips?
I just installed Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS (Cinnamon) on an empty laptop a couple days ago and have been experimenting a lot. I’m coming from being a Windows user since I was just a little kid playing old DOS games on my grandpa’s Win-98 PC back in around 2000. My daily driver is currently running Windows 10 but I am pretty adamant...
Is Rooting still as essential as it used to be?
Back in the day - rooting Android phones and installing custom ROMs were such a big part of Android. I remember so well using titanium backup and Greenify and Cyanogenmod and the list goes on....
Surely "1337" is the same as 1337, right?
Meme transcription:...
We all know it's true
Prove youre an OG, State your distro couz
Lemmy needs better integration/federation. Too much content is hidden. A community on the biggest instance was not visible to me on another large instance.
I did a search from shitjustworks for “reddit die” and did not find lemmy.world/c/watchredditdie so I made sh.itjust.works/c/watchredditdie (unnecessarily). This should really not happen. When someone makes a community there should be a “ping” sent out to notify all other federated instances....
youtube on modern phones sucks
Not even speaking about all the ads in the default YouTube app without a subscription....
It has finally happened. HWID activation for Windows 10/11 has been patched by Microsoft after 6 years.

I feel like we're all stuck in a movie where all the rich people live on some kind of floating island or satellite with everything they need to live well, and all of us have zero chance of going there
I have seen a few of these with similar story lines and realized we are living it right now. They have the best healthcare, the best food, the best everything and most of us are a few dollars from disaster. That scares some of us to death literally from all the stress it causes.
Ask Lemmy: Traditional vs natural mouse scrolling; which do you use?
Despite being a heavy cell phone user for more than 25 years, it only recently occurred to me that vertical navigation on most phones is inverted when compared to traditional computers. You swipe down to navigate upward, and up to navigate downward. I recently spent time using a MacBook, which apparently defaults to this...
Started Star Trek: The Next Generation for the first time last night. How big of an ongoing factor is "Q?" Because I kind of hate him.
I also had no idea the top portion of the Starship Enterprise could separate like that. That was pretty sweet.
Met a nice lady at the grocery store
Today at the grocery store a sweet older lady approached me and asked if I knew anything about computers. I said yes I do, and she produced a mouse saying that her son set up Linux mint for her and she was wondering if the mouse was compatible. It needed kernel version 2.6 or newer so I said that the mouse should work, guessing...
What's your favorite Linux distro?
What do to if I survive a nuclear blast in my city?
I recently saw a comment chain about nuclear bombs, and that led me to thinking about this. Say there is a nuclear explosion in the downtown of my US city. I survive relatively fine, but obviously the main part of the city has been destroyed, while major zones extending from the center were also badly damaged. What would be a...
I don't get how people can become depressed, when we live in the century of Fentanyl, easy access to alcohol and amusement arcades.
Any suggestions for cheap but decent laptops for coding?
I’m currently learning how to code (currently Python, then maybe JavaScript), but I’m not always around my desktop, and learning on my phone is not always an option (also, it can be quite cumbersome at times). Therefore, I’m looking into purchasing a laptop just for learning how to code and stuff....
What do you think about the idea that we're in a simulation?
I don’t think that we’re in a simulation, but I do find myself occasionally entertaining the idea of it....
Why do people keep asking where I'm from?
Up until I started working, I didn’t really encounter that question. When I did start working, people started asking me that question....
