Corey1031d , to showerthoughts in Lemmy is so good right now for no particular reason

It really is nice here. I love the break from the constant shitposting that is on reddit.

I guess you could say the particular reason Lemmy is so good right now is the friends we made along the way

Nefyedardu , to linux_gaming in What headphones are you all using while gaming on Linux?

People always say to avoid gaming headphones, but gaming headphones are often the only ones made with built-in external mics. If I'm gaming, I need at least a decent mic. Internal headphone mics aint going to cut it, they are omnidirectional and have terrible quality.

Sure you can get the perfect set up with some high quality headphones and a separate recording setup but there are issues with this. Boom mics are the highest quality of course but they take up a ton of space and are unsightly. You need to get the perfect length of boom and hold it close to your face at all times... it's necessary for content creation but not practical for everyday playing. There are "mod mics" you can attach to the side of your headphones, but there is only one company that makes them (Antlion) and both of their products in this line are terrible. I've had nothing but issues and they are not cheap.

So in the end I settled for the Sony Inzone headphones and they are fine. They are ugly as sin and the sound quality is obviously lacking, but it's way better than most in the category. You can connect via Bluetooth but the dongle works OOTB on Linux. The headphones are poor without a firmware update, and that needs a Windows VM and it's a bit tricky. The update will disable the USB device at points, so you will need to re-enable the USB passthrough when this happens. Pretty easy to do with GNOME-Boxes.

We can see their content, they can't see ours.

Wasn't defederation a two-way thing? Basically the whole instance (website, in laymen terms) blocked you. Nothing goes in, nothing goes out between you two.

@Falmarri@lemmy.world avatar

Even if that's the case, I THINK this instance can get the content transitively through the other lemmies it does federate with. I could be wrong there as well though

@leraje@lemmy.world avatar

You're not wrong. Postal deliveries in my area are, at best, sporadic. I'd say my area gets deliveries maybe two or three times a week at most.

Mirodir , to nostupidquestions in Can beetles fart?

After a quick Google search I learned that the answer is “kinda”.

Just like us they do produces gases as part of their metabolism. That gas has to go somewhere. Some of it is absorbed into their hemolyph (blood) and expelled into the air through openings in their exoskeleton. But it’s very unlikely that none of that gas exits through their anus.

Also, people have spotted “bubbles” on insects trapped in amber right where their anus is, it’s likely that those are encased fart-bubbles.

TIL that if we wanted to, we could sample prehistoric beetle farts.

    I'm not super experienced with making pickles. Would you want to reheat the brine before adding back into the jar to better help it penetrate the pickles?

    I mean, if you're a wage earner in this country, all the candidates are spoilers.

    malibu43 , (edited ) to android in Jerboa currently unusable for other people?

    I still can’t switch from local to all. Switched to Thunder which has been great!

    Edit: Jerboa back to working great and my top app again.

    I had this, too, but got a new version done hours ago that solved this problem.

    shortwavesurfer , to android in Jerboa currently unusable for other people?

    Give Thunder a shot. I really like it

    bazsy ,

    My issue is not being available from a platform. Downloading an unknown apk is more risk than how evil the Play store is.

    Is it available on an Fdroid repo? I didn't find it on the main one.

    fne8w2ah ,

    IzzyOnDroid repo. I'm downloading it from said repo via Neo Store now.

    WhoRoger , to youshouldknow in YSK: You can see which instances your home instance is federated with and which they've defederated/blocked by going to "/instances"
    @WhoRoger@lemmy.world avatar

    The link is also down at the bottom (at least in mobile version}.

    I've been lookin at some block lists just earlier today. I have to fess that some instances' block lists make me uncomfortable.

    spiritedpause OP ,

    Ah didn't even notice it at the bottom, good catch!

    What makes those block lists uncomfortable for you, genuinely curious?

    WhoRoger ,
    @WhoRoger@lemmy.world avatar

    First, because some instance's block list indicates unwillingness to see anything beyond their little world.

    Second, because in some (only only some) blocklists, there are links to some actual shitty people who I wouldn't think actually have the capacity to run a server.

    In the last few days there's been quite a fuss about some instances storing insulting jokes and whatnot, but maaaan that's honestly nothing compared to what else is out there.

    No good multimillionaires.

    *billionaires.

    There are millionaires just from buying a house for $150k in the right city in the 90s. Doesn’t make them evil.

    janus2 ,
    @janus2@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

    The term millionaire ought to be updated to mean someone with the capacity to spend a million dollars at any given time, not people whose assets total 1 million

    I would wager the former definition includes more bad people than the latter
