The Diomede Islands are two islands in the Arctic Ocean, between Alaska and Siberia. Despite the distance being 4 kilometres, there is a time difference of 21 hours between them. Why?...
There isn’t enough people on Lemmy to have niche communities finding someone interested in threads for example here is like finding a grain(Though niche communities like spec evo in for pages I own probably could take take off If I put enough effort into it) in the sand people will follow niche sub lemmings and they will...
She is a good coworker, meaning she knows her duties and has ample experience....
Saw a video of a youtuber that got his account overtaken which has 2fa enabled (not sure which method but I’m thinking sms). He says he didn’t get phished, downloaded anything and his session cookies weren’t stolen and I believe him. The only clue is that he received a sms otp from google but was invalid when he inputted...
Looking to get some anecdotal experiences from someone living in a cold climate using a heat pump as their main source of heat.

I kinda like not having an infinite scroll (just like the web u.i does), feels less addictive.
I have been experimenting with react native as I heard it’s one of the good ones, and so far it is not a particularly enjoyable experience. Lots of irritating things like no global styling, lots of ugly, hard to read properties on tags, etc...
I’ve been cleaning up my home office and found 2 pretty old smartphones in a box, around 10 years old I’d say. I don’t have any old chargers to check if they still work so I’m unsure what sort of data is on there, if any, or if they still charge up even....
I realize and understand the criticisms of ChatGPT and I have personally seem how bad it can be. Once I asked to count the number of days till a random date giving the present date and it failed miserably, again and again. Trust me! I get the criticism. But, what about Bing Chat Bot?...
Lets say I want to ask Lemmitors a question. There might an AskLemmy community at my home server so I can ask there. But there might be a much larger AskLemmy community on a server elsewhere. Is there a way to ensure that people who subscribe to AskLemmy on the other server could also see my post on AskLemmy on my home server ?
With all the noise on lemmy, spam, and political content I have no interest in, the thought occurred to have blocklists similar to adblock lists. Has anyone looked into this before, is it already a thing? Any thoughts on that?
I’m looking at an empty bottle of Valentina hot sauce. It has a flip top cap but is not twist off and seems to be press fitted on in some way - ideally there would be a way to easily remove it and re-purpose the container or at least clean it out for recycling....
This is an elaboration on my previous question regarding depictions of single party communist political systems but I am particularly interested in China and how things work in their seat of power....
I’m using imagepipe from fdroid, into webp format, keeping aspect ratio. Most of my posts don’t need high res imagery anyway, just something to get the message across. What do you use?
And, how did you get to know them? And how long did it take for you to think of them as your best friend?
I know every one hates reddit I know. I guess I’m looking for unbiased type of answers. Anyway, how do you think lemmy is doing so far?
I’ve been finding myself going back to Reddit as I don’t really care for 100% memes. I used to go on Reddit to learn things and read interesting content and discussions but I’m not really finding this on Lemmy....
