What was the funniest thing your ex did to try to win you back?
How do you deal with a existential crisis?
How to you come to terms with the fact that you will eventually not exist?...
Not counting games that were unfun because of bugs, what’s the most unfun video game that you’ve played and what made it unfun?
Most of the video games I’ve played were pretty good. The only one I can think of that I didn’t like was MySims Kingdom for the Nintendo DS. Dropped that pretty quickly. It was a long while ago, but I’ll guess it was because there were too many fetch quests and annoying controls.

I just started using Linux... any great tips?
I just installed Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS (Cinnamon) on an empty laptop a couple days ago and have been experimenting a lot. I’m coming from being a Windows user since I was just a little kid playing old DOS games on my grandpa’s Win-98 PC back in around 2000. My daily driver is currently running Windows 10 but I am pretty adamant...
Public Libraries were the original Freemium model.
Free to read all you want in-house, but if you want to take some home, you gotta pony up for that card....
People sticking with audio jack phones, why is USB-C earphones not a solution?
Don’t get me wrong. Apple removing audio jack was the biggest facepalm in smartphone history. And you can thank it for not being able to make an upgrade without sacrificing audio jack (and SD card too :/). But USB-C is getting standardized everywhere now (laptops, smartphones, etc.). What makes USB-C earphones not worth the...
It's getting to be soup season. What are your favorite soups?
It’s split pea or ham and potato for me....
Isn't it weird that we have exactly five fingers and five toes on each hand and foot.
I mean why 5, why 5 on each limb, why not 4 or 6. Why do our feet also have 5. Whats with our body being so symmetrical....

Can you easily communicate in your country (business/private life) without being involuntarily forced to use whatsapp?
… is it possible to do any kind of business and/or have regular conversations without having to use whatsapp as a main way of communication?...
A year in Mars is longer than the ones on Earth, so ppl living on Mars would celebrate less birthdays and technically die younger.
If beauty is tightly associated with facial symmetry, then why doesn’t everyone have their hair part down the middle?
Edit: to clarify, I know that many short hair styles don’t have a part at all. Mostly talking about people with hair long enough to have one. I find it interesting that many studies conclude that beauty is tightly correlated with how symmetrical someone’s face is. However, many haircuts and hair styles are asymmetrical,...
Jerboa currently unusable for other people?
For the past day or so every time I try to open Jerboa it just crashes immediately without an error message why. Is there any scheduled update/fix for Jerboa? I'd like to be able to browse on mobile again and really enjoyed the app while it was working....
The "subscribe pending" issue with Lemmy communities has been mostly resolved now
You should know that the issue with many communities on other Lemmy instances that you subscribed to showing a “subscribe pending” status has mostly been resolved....
Why is there no music-based platform like PeerTube?
I’m not sure where to discuss this so I’m posting here since this is the hub of FOSS advocates....
Why don't laptops have proper low power states where useful stuff like downloads can run during sleep/with the lid closed?
Basically every laptop I’ve owned I’ve had to disable sleep when the lid is closed as I often leave them plugged in and want background tasks like downloads or updates to be able to run while I’m not using the machine. However, I don’t think PC laptops have a way to switch to a super low power state and just run...

Fyi there are 365.242374 days in a year.
Could we improve men’s mental health?
Would more men be open to going to therapy if they had resources tailored specifically for them, and if the office had Emotional Support Animals for appointment use?
Recommendations for a FOSS Cross-Platform Note-Taking Application
Up to now I’ve been using Simplenote, which has a Linux client (but also Android & iOS) & supports live collaboration on notes. However, Simplenote hasn’t had a meaningful update for a long time, & it’s recently been behaving strangely, e.g. notes undeleting themselves, line duplications & undeletions....
YSK that YouTube shadow bans people (for a time) + implications to creators
I’m having my comments I made the past few days receive zero engagements. It’s not just me losing the early bird lottery too; my replies to a highly engaged comment has zero likes, while several comments immediately after me has double digits. It’s nothing incendiary at all, just normal people’s comments. But something...
ELI5 Repacks? (e.g. FitGirl)
It’s not that I don’t trust, but I want to understand. What is actually happening and how do these Repack thingies work?...
How do you feel about financing a genocide?
I didn’t want to direct this question to Americans specifically because, at this point, other countries have shown support to Israel in one or the other way. If my country was financing this, I would be taking the streets. Shit, I’m right now in the hospital but all I can think about is protesting anyway just to feel I did...
