Hi America, year is ending and Europe we only have one mass shooting, any help to be equally the same in this field?

Just recently I was in a conversation with a number of UK mainlanders and we had a debate over what “tories” meant, apparently disproportionately ordinarily it refers to a political party and it’s not usual to use it as short for “territories” as I’ve used it (according to how the debate ended, it was half and half...

I only have a few local news website and a few tech news feeds like arstechnica. But most of the tech news I get is from Lemmy itself....

I want to set a start time and end time and have my Hue lights slowly and very gradually over that timeframe shift from like yellow–> red or even white/blue at the start of the day–> red at end and have it automatically carry that out....

I’ll start. Not to toot my own horn but I feel I’m at least partially responsible for getting a friend to see the value of romantic love, which she managed to find!

Like really, they don’t even use the imperial system

Let’s say someone created a Wikipedia clone with Activitypub support, so you can freely read and edit articles on other servers. Basically the same way that Lemmy works. What would be a good name for such a project? Bonus points if the name goes with a cute animal mascot....

When receiving unsoliciting phone calls by telemarketers, many people consistently hung up, don’t bait, and don’t interact. So why don’t telemarketers delete from their databases such phone numbers that don’t lead to any sales or other business benefits?...

Work have started trying out signal for messaging, but I’d rather not have all my personal contacts and conversations on a machine I don’t own...

I feel like this describes me a lot but I also feel like it gives me a broad and eclectic knowledgebase that my employment has nothing to do with and has no mutual relevance to

Is there a way for me to export a list of the communities I’m subscribed to and import this list to another account on another instance?

Every single large server in this federation has at least one Star Trek community. There is even an entire server dedicated to Star Trek....

My views on things often differ from those in my social circle. I am often bombarded with article links and videos from people with no words of their own attached. It is very easy to send a link. It takes a bit of effort to form a coherent paragraph expressing a single thought....

I’m a middle aged guy, who, a few years ago, was off handedly told by a dental hygienist while getting my teeth cleaned, that I was tongue tied. I’ve had a flap of skin under my tongue which holds it down, it isn’t severe, but it does restrict my tongues mobility. For instance, I can’t really stick my tongue out very far...

This is a continuation on my “series” on pet tricks. Please try to use this format:...

I would be here all night if I asked the Lemmy crowd every question I had, but one thing that always has stood out to me is what’s on the tin. Call me one of those childfree peoples for asking it how I did (note ahead of time that I do not judge people who have kids, I just find the alternative better), but it’s a topic...

I know there are sites out there designed for finding Lemmy communities that aren’t within your instance but it can be a difficult to find some more abstract ideas....

I wanna see instances federated with most instances now that in individuals can ban entire instances. I know theres still some instances you want completely blocked from the off tho....

Mad Max Fury Road. They defeat the tyrant, and get the control of the water valves. Then they open the valves and seemingly keep them open. One problem, how long is the water reservoir gonna last now?...

Continuation of my threat thread on where Sunrise Bay from Schitt’s Creek was inspired from, and I was very wrong lol

i deleted an app and chose to keep its data saved, then i installed a newer apk. it asks me if i want to ‘update’ rhe app, not ‘install’ it. i select to update an app that isnt even installed and it then says it cant due to ‘App not installed as package conflicts with an existing package.’ so to re-cap, i saved the...

Since a couple days, Voyager keep disconnecting me at a iregular interval, so i wanted to know if others Voyager/any other clients users have the same issue and how to fix it.
