Would you buy a new battery for a very old laptop?

I just got a pretty good deal on an old ThinkPad (think 10 years old now) to use as a beater for screwing with ArchLinux and hopefully to find a real use for. It’s in great shape like it was never really used, but big shock, the battery is at 50% effective capacity and what’s there disappears in less than an hour....

Why is my home feed nothing but beans?

Why is my home feed on lemmy and kbin filled with posts about beans? Where did this recent obsession come from?

Kickstarting single-user discoverability on Mastodon/GTS/Non-Lemmy parts of the fediverse

We’re getting plenty of posts regarding selfhosting Lemmy, but with Twitter simultaneously imploding in on itself I assume a fair few of us here have brought up/thinking of bringing up our own microblogging as well....

Downloading from the Microsoft store

I just bought a season of an anime from the Microsoft store, but it looks like the only way to download or view it is with an Xbox or on a recent version of Windows. Does anyone know how to get it directly?...

Are there actually blind people without pupils, or is that a Hollywood thing?

A lot of movies, especially horror movies (I’m watching one now) depict blind people as not having pupils. But my understanding, based on blind people I’ve met, is that the problem is usually in the lens or the retina, and that they have pupils the same as everyone else. Are there actually blind people out there whose eyes...

Can I use two separate accounts on two instances on the same browser?

Is it okay to set up two accounts for two instances on the same web browser? When I go to visit the first instance, i can see that account is logged in for that instance. So, that works. Then I direct myself to the another instance’s community/post, I can see the 2nd account is logged in for that instance. Would it make sense...

Pinned Comments

Absolutely love the work done so far by the mods, it’s a thankless tasks, but you’re all doing excellent. Only comment I have is there are too many pinned threads at the moment (at least on the LiftOff app), it takes a while to scroll past them. Not sure if anybody else is having this?

how do you make friends if large gatherings arent your thing?

I do like large gatherings, but I don’t really do well meeting people and making friends in them. I find it too chaotic and difficult to “be myself” with so many people. I also feel there tends to be more shallow conversation in these settings making it great for banter and social energy but less great for connecting and...
