  • We Talked to the Inventors of the "Tamagotchi" Vape That Dies If You Stop Puffing

  • What podcast(s) do you recommend?

    Jump

  • Beautiful Stories From Anonymous People, basically someone calls in to talk about anything they want with the host (comedian Chris Gethard). The caller can hang up any time, the host must hang up after exactly one hour.

    People call in to talk about so many different things, and Gethard is really good at getting people to open up in a very genuine yet casual manner.

  • What's up, selfhosters? It's selfhosting Sunday!

  • I got a new job, and the group chat is on WhatsApp, so I'm looking into running a Synapse server with a bridge to it. I really don't want to have to use Meta's apps on my phone.

    From what I've read so far, it seems like it's going to be the most convoluted install process I'll have encountered in my self-hosting journey. I'm excited to tackle it, but also a bit overwhelmed. Which is why I've been putting it off :P

  • What are your thoughts on paternity leave?

  • It should be up to businesses how parents decide to raise their newborn?

    Fuck off.

  • Which apps do you allow to give you notifications?

    Jump

  • Same as OP except I also get notifications for software updates through Obtainium.

    That's on mobile, on desktop I don't allow any notifications.

  • This is such a dumb comment, I love it. It honestly made me feel better about things. Everything is just star remnants trying to coexist.

  • I'm Tired of Pretending Tech is Making the World Better

    Jump

  • I get that and totally respect it, and I never pursue further conversation unless I get a chatty vibe from the customer.

    However it's insanely rude to ignore me to my face after I've just asked you a question. If someone answers "Fine. Cappuccino to-go." that's really all I'm asking for. I'm not simply an interface through which you get coffee, I'm a human person, and I think customer service staff deserve to be treated as such.

    Jump

  • You can just answer "fine" and I'll be satisfied though, it's really easy to sus out who wants to chat up their barista and who just wants to go in, order, get out. I'm not seeking to force anyone into a conversation they don't want, I just want a faint acknowledgment of my humanity, you know?

    Is this safe to use?

  • Any ports used in docker will be open on your computer and accessible to any device in your network.

    However, to open up a port to the internet, you'd have to do port-forwarding on your router. If you haven't done that, any incoming connections will just be dropped at the router-level.

  • I work in a coffee shop; I already feel sufficiently dehumanized by the amount of people who answer my "how are you today?" with "cappuccino to-go". I would hate to work in a café where you order via your phone.

  • What's up, selfhosters? - The Sunday thread

    Jump

  • That's actually so cool and the more I think about it the more it's making me really want to host my own Lemmy instance. Can I ask what sort of hardware resources you're running it on?

  • I'm reading it so I'd say it works!

  • Diplomacy dies on live TV as Trump and Vance gang up to bully Ukraine leader

    Jump

  • Edit: why was this downvoted?

    I'd assume less pro-Churchill sentiment, more "people don't read articles and are wondering why you brought up Churchill"

    Pronoun Protest During Testimony

    Jump

  • Madam Chairperson just forgot the word for day.

    Thank you for your testimony. We are doing our job... We work hard, uh, every... starts with a d... every d... DAY!

  • "Public benefit corporation" is such an oxymoron, I know it's cliché to say this but it reads like something out of 1984.

    If your goal is truly to benefit the public, why wouldn't you start a non-profit? It's because they want profits, which will always be at odds with the interests of the public.

  • US could cut Ukraine's access to Starlink internet services over minerals, say sources.
