Me (14y male from Poland) got my english teacher annoyed/disappointed after saying the word “crap”. I’m unsure if this is the right place to ask this question but is saying that word considered bad? I always thought it was pretty mild and not a big deal.
Posting from a throwaway because this is something that embarasses me a lot. I’m an artist who posts fanart on social media but as much as I remind myself that fanart is just for fun, I should just enjoy myself and not worry about engagement, I can’t get myself out of the competitive headspace against other artists who...
She loves the tiny rubber ducks, and accidentally batted it towards Momo (one of our other cats) and they had a battle of will over it. Pippy lost. They were playing for a while, and I only got the last few seconds of it. She’s healthy and doing great! Thanks everyone for all of the support!...
Hi Lemmings. Just wondering if you have any recommendations for this. I used to work with Clockify but I’m wondering, since there is a solid FOSS userbase here, if you know of a good, simple, offline, reliable no-frills app that tracks time spent working and can actually tell if I’m idle/afk ....
Left feeling a bit empty after playing it for the first time a few months ago(why did I wait so long?) I am afraid no JRPG will be able to surpass it. Would love to have a discussion about similar games that reach the same quality level (Note: I have already played Final Fantasy VI ).
It is said that ACs are counterproductive in fight against global warming, in that while they may make the local environment temporarily livable, the greenhouse gases produced while making the electricity needed to operate them heat up the rest of the Earth by much more than the relief from the AC itself. By how much exactly is...
I know it is a known Classic but i liked Animal Farm so much i had to share. Before reading i thought that it would be similar to 1984 or Brave new world which it kind of is but its also very very different. Right from the Beginning i was hooked. I really love Orwells Books but this one is my favourite. I did not expect that. So...
I have started encoding, but have now gotten to making videos where multiple video streams need to be combined from a bluray source, into one video file - Does anyone know any programs for this, or any in depth guides on Remuxing / etc?
What I mean by this, is instead of when you fail and are met with a game over, the game finds some way to keep it going. Instead of being forced to reset to a previous save or an autosave checkpoint, the game’s story continues in an interesting path. Are there any games like this?...
I have enough machines on my network that I’ve long wanted to get better monitoring going on, and I finally bit the bullet and I’m trying to push through learning my way around grafana and prometheus/node extension. I have been following this guide: grafana.com/docs/…/docker-compose-linux/ (great, btw!) but after importing...
When using software and the codecs from the packman repo, what are the best practices associated with the updating and maintaince of these packages and the system in general. Do I have to wait for sometime before updating using dup or can I use the packman modules of mesa with updated versions of the mesa modules provided...
Hello. I’ve been a window user from win95. I’d like to learn more about Linux but don’t know where to start. I had a brief intro when I was in highschool and recently I’ve been seeing more and more talk here on Lemmy. Mostly memes....
When I was working minimum wage at a gas station many eons ago, we would have ‘2 for $x’ specials where x is less than 2 times the individual price of whatever item....
I let people rate how much they like different things on a scale of 1-10. How do I actually tell if people like one thing more than another thing if the sample sizes are different? This is not about any real scientific study, more like a personal test :)...
The 'Pet Shop Days' and 'Poor Things' actor also explains why he didn't wrestle with appearing at the Toronto International Film Festival to promote 'Gonzo Girl,' which was granted a SAG-AFTRA interim agreement....
Lemmy needs an analogue of IAMA/AskMeAnything (or whatever we need to do to avoid the copyright issues if any). Do we currently have that or is there any indication its in the works?
