I like shopping in book stores. There’s something about wandering the aisles and waiting for a book to jump out at you that I can’t get shopping online. Unfortunately, whenever I compare the price of a book Amazon has every in-person store beat, often pricing their offerings 30%-50% lower (or around $10/book in my...

In the MusicBrainz community, there’s a thread for posting music that is available legally as a free download, or in the case of Bandcamp, name your price. I’ve used these sort of releases to help find new and interesting music to get into, and I thought that’d make an interesting community here for that reason....

If this was a real city, it would be the largest city of Dooland (not the capital, the capital would be Almara) if that were a real country. Context: the Summer Olympics take place in July/August, the Winter Olympics in February, and Eurovision in May.

Turning Wi-Fi, data on/off on Android 12 is more difficult compared to previous versions. You have to stretch your fingers to the top of the screen to access quick settings, tap the new internet tile (no actual quick toggles) and that will open a menu for toggling wifi and data....

I’m having a play about with Yacy today. I have had the thoughts that it would be great to have the possibility to search through my paperless-ngx documents. Is it doable?? Has anyone got it working??

I know I am probably violating all the rules at once, but I didn’t really know where to post this.

for instance on free software, linux, bsd, … ?

I’ve heard of plume and writefreely/write.as but never used them. A friend is also asking for blogging platforms that are easy to use - they’re non techy.

Hello, everybody, I’ve been thinking to move on from my Spotify subscription to move to Tidal or Deezer. I want to try out HIFI audio, but still get a good and stable experience. Are there any suggestions for which one I should pick? Could you also tell about your experience with those apps, or are there any other you would...

I’ve been enjoying the app and the community quite a bunch! However I do notice that the feed is starting to fill up with lots of negative sentiment....

Hi,...

So here’s the thing, every time I try to move away from Facebook messenger I run into the same problem, nobody else in my friends or family actually want to use a secure, private messenger app like signal or telegram, my wife, my parents, my in-laws, my friends they’re ALL on Facebook and they will never take signal...

Does this exist here and are there active communities?

Hi!...

As a new user to all these sites, I’m confused about they interact with each other. For example, on Lemmy, I can view a Mastodon account, but I can’t view that account’s posts. This makes sense, as sorting your home feed by “all” could hypothetically result in your feed getting flooded by popular Mastodon posts....

American cluster bombs have only 2% failure rate. Given that Ukrainian lands are full of ruSSian mines, could cluster bombs be used for demining fields? Sappers would have much less work to do with defusing only those 2% which failed to explode.

The managers offices have windows that look out onto the main floor, I’m a training officer and sometime supervisor so although I look in the windows before I go in I’m generally “read in” on anything going on so If the doors closed I dont pay it much mind unless the boss is having a closed door with a staff member....

I decided to spin up Home Assistant on a VM on my server yesterday, and so far I’m not having much luck getting to to much that is actually useful....

I hope this doesn’t count as advertising, but come visit us at !piracy Free booty treasure! Bigger and better than any you’ve seen!...

Hello,...

It seems to me that over the last two weeks, the Lemmy experience has been worsening. My front page and communities are filled with Reddit re-posting bots....

I tried Thunderbird but it’s got a lot going for it. I just want something simple and minimal...

Not a promotion, so not against strike rules. Just think of this as an interpretation/review from someone who happens to really like movies....
