Variden3301 , to mildlyinfuriating in Maybe I just don't get it, but articles that talk about what a celebrity is wearing that is almost always going to be some kind of product placement...

I don’t read news anymore. They are either depressing or empty in content. We need more uplifting news people!!!

LetterboxPancake ,

That’s unfair. Some are badly written as well.

Eris , to selfhosted in How do you guys have your music streaming setup?

Lidarr to dl and plex/plexamp for listening. No issues so far. Haven’t got to use sonic analysis yet but it’s interesting that you could choose 2 songs and it will use sonic analysis to make a Playlist bridging between the two.

Nivekk , to nostupidquestions in Is it normal to start reading a book but then suddenly realize that you have no idea what's going on in the plot because you have been reading the words but ignoring their meaning?

Yes, except instead of reading it’s listening, and instead of fiction it’s whatever I was supposed to remember to do after work today.

linkding was one for me. It sounded like a great idea at first, but, I never used it. Shut it down after a couple months.

Perdendosi , to reddit in Confession. I wrote a lot of fake stories on Reddit.
@Perdendosi@lemmy.world avatar

I’m glad you’re coming clean. I kinda hope that you go back and delete the fake stories, or at least make clear they’re works of fiction.

Why?

Because people are stupid. They hear an urban legend about a psycopath putting razor blades in apples and all of a sudden no one can have anything but individually wrapped candy during halloween. People overemphasize anectodes to establish political views or actually make policy changes. Academics troll reddit for evidence to support theories. And “news” “reporters” pull stuff from Reddit and report it, often as fact. If it implicates criminal activity or child abuse, that might cause authorities to get involved needlessly.

Maybe your stories aren’t such that they would impact policies, or change political views, or impact lives. I’m sure some of it is just harmless fun (though, when I’d participate in forums like AITA with fake posts, it sure did annoyme), and to some extent, people should be smarter about responding to shitposts. “Throwaway because my friends know my main account” should be a big, red flag. And I’m glad you got to work on your writing skill and voice. I hope you can use it productively in the future, and I wish you the best of luck. (But think about deleting or editing your posts!)

TheButtonJustSpins , to piracy in What VPN should I use now that Mullvad doesn't allow portforwarding?

I use Proton VPN, but it’s not free.

Fiivemacs , to selfhosted in Do you use all your self hosted services? Are there any you found to be not worth it after installing?

I would rather waste a week setting something up to find I don’t like it, then paying some company to give me some ad riddled thing that phones home every few minutes and being stuck with it for a month, then the nonstop emails after I’ve cancelled and my information being sold to who knows who.

TheButtonJustSpins , to selfhosted in Do you use all your self hosted services? Are there any you found to be not worth it after installing?

If something interests you, set it up. If you find you don’t need it, take it down.

HReflex ,

That’s pretty much exactly what I have done. I’ve hosted Plex, and Matrix in the past. Plex I will host in the future but Matrix was too much for me to host on my own, but the experience of setting it up myself was definitely worth it.

TheButtonJustSpins ,

I recommend checking out Jellyfin instead of Plex. Open source, fully self hosted.

@Akhuyan, I just wanted to let you know that you’re doing a great job.

@Akhuyan@lemmy.world avatar

Thank you for saying that!

flint5436 , to futurama in Which Futurama line(s) do you find yourself quoting for no raisin?

This isn’t even the scene from that quote but I still couldn’t resist making it my profile pic!

flint5436 ,

Yeah but it fits the quote better i think. Definitely suits your profile name ;)

temporary_pizzas , to nostupidquestions in Is it normal to start reading a book but then suddenly realize that you have no idea what's going on in the plot because you have been reading the words but ignoring their meaning?

Happens way too often to me too… And then, I’ll start reading all over, only to realize I’ve done the same thing again…

Manufacturing failure modes is perhaps a weird fascination of mine. How does the industry fail for 1/1000 products sometimes…

defaultnamespace OP ,
@defaultnamespace@lemmy.world avatar

Me too! I try to take a picture of some of the better ones I run into. Some that come to mind are a fully sealed individual size bag of chips that only had air in it, and an individually wrapped protein cookie that had two cookies jammed in it. Life evens out.

Tandrios , to technology in Redditors, how do you like Lemmy?

What perhaps will be the final nail in the coffin for Reddit is working here perfectly! Mobile apps! Jerboa is perhaps lacking some features, but works like a charm.

Akasiek , to piracy in Is there a safe way to do stuff without a vpn?
@Akasiek@lemmy.ml avatar

VPNs don’t make things safer. You need to use reliable trackers like 1337x. VPNs can hide your traffic from your ISP. If you’re living in some smaller country you might get await with seeding without VPN and without getting notified by your ISP.
