I was playing with a Motorola G72 and noticed this feature by accident: double-tap on the back of the phone to trigger a custom action....

I got a Lenovo Ideapad recently—which is a particularly awesome graphics latptop/tablet combo, by the way—and threw KUbuntu on it. Everything went smoothly, and their official site was especially helpful in getting Windows 11 off of there and KUbuntu on it. It’s responsive, light weight enough to be portable but heavy...

Is it problem with lemmy ?

I’m looking up for communities or scenes whose purpose is making games that you play from bootup. Not necessarily boot sector games (stuff that has to fit in 512 bytes), but things that would behave much like cartridges in old consoles, where the hardware boots straight into the game....

Apparently my internet was out for the last 20 minutes or so, and I’ve been browsing Lemmy, working on a doc in Nextcloud/OnlyOffice, and watching a movie on Jellyfin without even noticing....

He is my son and I love him very much...

Let’s get together and make a nice icon to decorate our community. All input appreciated!

Looking at products like Gryphon or Circle, I feel like this should be pretty easy to do self-hosted. It’s just firewall rules right? Anyone know of a good open source/self-host product I can do this? A phone app is not a requirement. A web interface is fine....

The greatest song about accepting your struggles as key to making you who you are, while also refusing to pass that generational trauma on to your own children, is Johnny Cash / Shel Silverstein’s “A Boy Named Sue”...

Except my Raspberry pi...

The Wikipedia definition seems to indicate it has origins as a racist term and I’ve never understood why unix users have adopted this terms instead of something benign like “themes” or “theming” which I remember being in use long before I ever heard “rice”. So what gives? Why use “rice” instead of “theme”?

edit: thank you for all the great comments! It’s going to take a while to chew through the suggestions. I just started testing picoshare which is already looking both easy and useful....

Hey, I’m wondering what everyone’s solution is for self hosted “cloud” storage of photos? I’ve been running a PhotoPrism server on my Synology for a while but it’s missing some features I’d like to have. While we’ve set up auto-uploading from different phones to the web server, I haven’t found an easy way to...

It would be interesting to have a user setting on Lemmy to view only the votes from your instance. This way, you can have a unique experience depending on the instance you are in, as there are instances that cater to different audiences. For example, the instance lemmy.dbzer0.com is for piracy, while programming.dev is for...

I mean technically I get at least 1 of each…

A different thing are conversation back and forths: each comment is in a new branch of the comment tree.

If faced with critical thinking, people tend to disregard what you’re trying to say and push back to their outlook.

So with open source software more on my mind lately I was wondering - while I get the benefits of transparency and such, how safe is it? If the source code is available to all, isn’t it easier to breach for people (like the recent cookies hack)? If I’d have an open source password manager, would it be easier for people to...

I recently came across a YouTube video that shed light on the detrimental effects of sitting for long hours and provided exercises and stretches to combat them. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find that video now. I have a few tools at my disposal, including dumbbells, a pull-up bar, an elastic band, and a yoga mat. I was...

Hi, My normal account was recently banned from c/memes and possibly all of lemmy.ml, but I wasn’t sure why. I was wondering if there was a mod I could ask, so I could learn from my mistake, mea culpa, and possibly beg for forgiveness.

Hello,...
