Recently, I moved to the UK due to the war in Ukraine and have noticed that people here struggle to spell my name correctly. As a result, I would like to ask for suggestions on alternative versions of the name Vitalii that are easier to pronounce. Thank you in advance for your replies.

From when it was still cool and niche to be a redditor and you needed to identify each other in public, you could use that sentence....

Does it actually matter?

I saw a while back that facebook is opening a twitter competitor which will use the ActivityPub protocol, and thus will be able to federate with other fediverse instances, I also saw they invited some fediverse instance admins for an “off the records” meeting in their HQ....

I already get rate-limited like crazy on lemmy and there are only like 60,000 users on my instance. Is each instance really just one server or are there multiple containers running across several hosts? I’m concerned that federation will mean an inconsistent user experience. Some instances many be beefy, others will be under...

Welp it’s July 1st, and I actually had to move from lemmy.world over to lem.ee because that instance is being verryyy overloaded right now, lol....

They’re violating all kinds of data protection laws in refusing to allow users to delete their data

So I was hungry and bored and a little drunk and decided to make some homemade macaroni and cheese. I found this old leather-bound book that looked like a cookbook, so I opened it and followed a recipe. Turns out it was like the Necronomicon or something and I summoned a demon. He’s sitting on my couch right now being a dick,...

Hello comrades! I figured I might have a bit more scientific responses here than Reddit, or maybe the same. So, for the longest damn time, I was really into adaptogenic teas, it gave me a bit of a buzz but in a good way. More focused I should say. I also have autism, and I tried a cordyceps tea and I didn’t feel as autistic...

Seems like hot was the best way to sort for a while, but lately it’s been filling up with inactive posts, some from years ago. Did something change?

When it comes to spreading disinformation about climate change or the risks of smoking, I can clearly see how it protects economic interests (e.g. the value of the assets of the fossil fuel industry or the tobacco industry). I therefore understand that these lies are (have been) regularly pushed by people who do not necessarily...

How many of you practice your karate.

For example, when I advocate about privacy and data gathering from big tech companies, one of the most common I heard is “I don’ care, I have nothing to hide”. What else have you heard?

I take transit to work and it’s getting hot in my city, I would like to wear shorts but I’m not allowed to wear them to work because of the dress code, however it allows skirts and is silent on kilts (and I think my managers will allow my bit of malicious compliance on this). Any recommendations on affordable utilikilt style...

I listen to youtube more than I watch any kind of TV. Here’s my list, what does everyone else watch or listen to?...

I have a weird distaste of how law is written for a long time. Laws are difficult to understand and follow. For example, definitions are often unclear and depends on past rulings. Meaning the law itself is not suffice to decide if an action is legal or not. This really irritated me. The fact that I can’t know with 100%...

I know people prefer to complain instead of act, but what is something people don’t like but has an alternative?

I am thinking of buying a VPS because I want to host some projects on it. I need it to be able to run Linux and must have a great amount of bandwidth (around ~150GB monthly). At least 2GB ram and 50GB Storage. What is your personal recommendation? And it would also be nice if it isn’t expensive....

Hey lemmings!...
