Here's How Reddit F**ks Advertisers
There’s been a few people who commented this in the past, but as an advertiser on Reddit, I want to share the numbers I see....
Watching TV shows or movies that display Russia as a military superpower is almost surreal nowadays.
Was just watching Jack Ryan Season 3 and seeing the display of force and their movements causes some interesting dissonance given what we know now.
What should we do about Threads?
A lot of people dislike it for the privacy nightmare that it is and feel the threat of an EEE attack. This will also probably not be the last time that a big corporation will insert itself in the Fediverse....
Met a nice lady at the grocery store
Today at the grocery store a sweet older lady approached me and asked if I knew anything about computers. I said yes I do, and she produced a mouse saying that her son set up Linux mint for her and she was wondering if the mouse was compatible. It needed kernel version 2.6 or newer so I said that the mouse should work, guessing...

So how long until the Fediverse is monetized?
I’m fairly new and don’t 100% understand it yet, but instances are run on servers that require money. Are we heading towards seeing ads or subscriptions to raise funds instead of relying on donations to cover overhead?...
Your lips don't touch when you say the word touch, but do touch when you say separate
My 8 year old son told me this randomly after getting out of the shower this morning.
Today I was reminded how bad YouTube ads are
I watched a Warframe (game) YouTube video on the Steam integrated browser, without beeing connected to my account and Holly s* it was horrible....
Interesting how artists don't make enough money from their creations, so our solution is to make certain information illegal to share, rather than give them a universal basic income.
What's a skill that's taken for granted where you live, but is often missing in people moving there from abroad?
I was thinking about that when I was dropping my 6 year old off at some hobbies earlier - it’s pretty much expected to have learned how to ride a bicycle before starting school, and it massively expands the area you can go to by yourself. When she went to school by bicycle she can easily make a detour via a shop to spend some...
Viewing lemmy posts by all tends to be dominated by a few communities
I’ve noticed that there are a few communities that tend to dominate when viewing all. Some days it gets to where looking at all isn’t very different than just looking at [email protected] or [email protected]....
What are your thoughts on a user-driven, officially unofficial radio station for Lemmy?
For the past few weeks I’ve been working on creating my own public radio station (it’s been a dream of mine since I was a kid). Well now it’s up and running but I don’t know what to do with it. So I thought I’d see what Lemmy thinks about the concept, before I go all in and start investing in licensing fees, better...
Is there a business in your town, which you are 100% sure is a front?
we shoulda never let him touch the crafting table bro 😭
After migrating from Reddit, it’s jarring that comment sections aren’t cluttered with hashtag-style comments that are just links to subreddits like /HoLuP/
I love that comment sections here are like, y’know, discussions and stuff. Not just the same jokes and parroted phrases over and over and over.
c/YouShouldKnow should’ve been called c/LemmyTellUSomething
Sorting by new on Lemmy isn’t a dumpster fire experience like it is on Reddit
Does anyone feel like an actual adult?
Even with a good career and all the “adult milestones” I don’t feel like an actual adult. I feel like I’m pretending to know what I’m doing. Anyone else experience this?
If we call reddit users redditors, what do we call lemmy users
A lot of people say fedditors but that sounds way too derivative of reddit
Why do people still recommend Thinkpads for Linux when there are Linux-oriented manufacturers now?
I’ve noticed in the Linux community whenever someone asks for a recommendation on a laptop that runs Linux the answer is always “Get a Thinkpad” yet Lenovo doesn’t seem to be a big Linux contributor or ally. There’s also at least six Linux/FOSS-oriented computer manufacturers now:...
What's some really unpopular opinion you have?
Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular....
When I was a kid I identified old TV shows because they were black and white...
These days, kids identify them by the aspect ratio.
How is Lemmy so good and you guys all so awesome? FUCK!
The smart(shit)ification of TVs pisses me off.
I absolutely hate “smart” TVs! You can’t even buy a quality “dumb” panel anymore. I can’t convince the rest of my family and friends that the only things those smarts bring are built-in obsolescence, ads, and privacy issues....
