My journey with Lemmy started in 2022 out of interest in the fediverse and paranoia around how much control social media companies have, and how little choice common people are left with over the Internet....
By employed I mean get a job in the industry either offline or online. Ideally something that would highly likely remain in-demand in the near future.
What last name do you think is neat? It could sound cool, have an interesting meaning or history, etc.
Personally, it’s Faith from Farcry 5 for me. Uninteresting dialog that can be summed up to “I was bullied once” and that’s it. Literally every other character is so much more interesting. Jacob gives you a sequence where you run through a gulag which he then uses against you, John tries to kill you and is openly hateful...
Every so often i start believing all the posts about how Linux really made a lot of progress, and the desktop experience is so much better now, and everything is supported, and i give it another try....
I’m in the US so I’ve mostly watched US TV shows, I’ve been wanting to watch shows made by other countries as there must be some great ones that never took off in the states....
Assume you’re life-lusted and are willing to abandon every moral you have just to live. Paying for cancer treatment is also worth prison time to you....
Hells Angels are moving into my area for the first time. I have a generally negative view of them, but have some friends who feel otherwise. I would love to hear your experiences related to the Angels specifically, but “1%” clubs as well.
Is it one that you just use and works just fine? Or one that has proven to be reliable and responsible if they do a mistake and only want to satisfy you as a customer?
Currently I am a uni student, working 4 days a week during the summer, moving to about 3 during term time....
So I moved out recently and discovered I pretty much only know how to prepare scrambled eggs and smoothies....
I am planning to eventually build my own home server, and when I do I will hook it up via ethernet. But I do want to switch away from the generic FIOS router and use my own for more control over my data and security. Any recommendations?
TL;DR - which privacy-focused search engine do people recommend, preferably one that can also easily be used as a default option in Safari?...
The only real attempt at monetisation that I’ve seen is beetoons.tv, but they use their own crypto - making it like Odysee. Why is that?...
For me it is when companies/services market themselves as donating to XYZ cause if I buy their product. If they want to donate, they should have already done that with the money they have. Asking me to give them profit so that they can donate is so obviously pretentious.
Have you went down any internet rabbit holes only to come out with a deep set existential crisis? If so, what are they?
I want to give them money but since my childhood my parents pretty much told me that they are all either faking it or are too lazy to go to work for money. I mean, I guess they can go to work but not everyone gets accepted to work as easy as it sounds like.
For me it’s holding a VHS in the store and looking at the cover.
I just discovered something I did so idiotic I need a stronger adjective that what is in my name....
I’m currently using Jerboa but it’s a little janky so I’m looking for recommendations...
Statistic on the news said that 50% of the population there are under 18…
Preferably lesser known but game-changing apps that are able to be bought one-time and put all others to shame....
I know they allow scam adverts because it’s easy money, but why aren’t they held responsible for facilitating obvious scams? You open Edge, there’s 3 “Earn money quick” adverts. On Instagram, every 5 ads, one is a scam.
