  • Hello everyone new here, can anyone tell how this platform works?

    Jump

  • If you're able to post here, you already know most about-it,

    You subscribe to communities, post content, and comment-it, you can upvote the content and sometimes downvote it, as easy-as-it.

    Regarding the federation, here is an explication for Mastodon but it also applies to here https://tilvids.com/w/887e7b95-a6b1-4df1-83fd-d5c47f17ec4c

  • What happens to the extra men in polygamous society ? If a Man has several wifes, it means many men end-up single.

    Then there is the whole not allowed for Christians and may-be not allowed even before (I don't think it was a common practice in Rome)

  • Smaller communities, feel like the reddit of early 2010's

    No ads, no IA training, no monetization of my user data

    Prefer alternative solution

    Usable mobile app

    Reddit (and other prorprietary social media) is (are) great for the ever-lasting feed of new content, but something smaller is great too

  • What profound statement has stuck with you over the years?

    Jump

  • Experience is a lantern lightning only it's carrier

  • What's something that you used to hate, but now love?

    Jump

  • I have the opposite feeling regarding ghost, 10 years ago they were a cool growing underground bands with a fun make up and lore, and by the end of the 2010's you would hear them at the radio, and a lot of drama between Papa and the Ghouls (Magna carta cartel is the former Ghouls band, and the legit successor of Ghost)

    Let alone that I can't afford ticket anymore.

  • Millennials, what do you plan on doing when you become completely culturally irrelevant?

    Jump

  • The same as Gen-X before us, watch Zoomer and Alpha shit on boomer, while trying to finish to pay the one bed room appartment mortgage before entering the hospice

  • Having lived through the 2020s what kind of generational trauma are you going to pass on to your grandchildren?

    Jump

  • Every decade had it's pile of shit, and for the moment, the 2020's have been a walk in the Park compared to 2010's.

    Sure covid was a wild-ride, where we had to mostly stay at home when no valid reason to go-out, and when out the city was quiet. and then proceeding to normal life with some accommodation is weird,

    Remember the 2010's with the long-tail of the 2008 economic crisis, the terrorist attacks (and all the security measure impact on day to day life), The start of the Ukraine war, The Syrian civil-war, the politicians not listening to kids protesting climate change, the Brexit, and tons of other crazy problems ?

  • Locked

    I am North Korean who lives in NK AMA

    Jump

  • What's the most common lie westerners believe about North Korea?

    Are you allowed to read Marx, Proudhon and other communist philosophers?

    How privileged are you to have access to the Internet and do an AMA?

    What do you think of that North Korean girl doing videos on YouTube? (Not sure how she is called, just saw a documentary about her)

  • People who use non-QWERTY keyboards: what do you use?

    Jump

  • French has the bépo layout which applies the Dvorak methodology to French

  • What subreddit are you trying to replace on Lemmy that needs pumping up?

    Jump

  • I would like to see more rpg discussion, I like that the !rpg@ttrpg.network doesn't end-up an D&D community like in the alien website, but I would love to see more than one discussion thread per week.

  • Books to read for a beginner atheist

    Jump

  • Atheism isn't a religion, so there isn't "must read books" nor mandatory workshops. Do what you please.

  • Interesting,

    I know that in the french alps we can reach the mountain police through VHF if needed, and that during heli-rescue they give a call on the free-flight frequency to let paraglider know that they are coming. but I am pretty sure that they have their own network too, and that VHF is a way to call them when you have no mobile phone coverage

  • Is there place were law enforcement still use regular radio ?

    Nowadays, it's a protocol similar as mobile phone with digital data transmission and encryption rather than good old analog radio.

    And it's typically a case were encryption is important, even for the privacy of the involved persons

  • How are you preparing for the recession?

    Jump

  • Unpopular opinion but Don't panic.

    It's been decade that economy has been shit for real people with crisis starting before the previous one finished, high unemployment, stagnating wages, expensive real estate and more

    If you're rich enough to be impacted by stock market collapsing you're already way above average.

    Sure it's not making things better, and not the moment to change job, but it's been shit for a while and will stay shitty. The era when boomer could find a job without any degree, get a living wage with yearly raise and promotions is over.

  • You're in charge of starting a nuanced bad guy team. What is your agenda?

    Jump

  • True goal: start making butter that's as good as Kerrygold.

    This says a lot about the state of US dairy industry if you consider kerrygold as the "gold standard for butter"

  • How are my fellow Americans preparing for the upcoming apocalypse?

    Jump

  • for things that will most likely happen.

    When I took the First-aid/CPR course, the red cross trainer spent like 30 minutes doing a list of what can realistically happen where we are. An interesting exercise.

    Full blown apocalypse is unlikely, but doing stuff like checking the flood-risk map before renting/buying a home (Especially ground floor apartment and single-floor house) does wonder at not having to evacuate. Knowing the kind of dangerous factory/goods in your area also helps a lot planning for the right thing.

  • Piefed isn't lemmy so voyager won't work. I believe interstellar does work (I use it for my alt on mbin and it's a nice app)

    OP, as you see, you're not stuck in your instance and can interact directly with people/communities from other instances. I believe that piefed also let you follow Mastodon account, but I haven't tried piefed yet

  • Do you prefer cut or uncut?

    Jump

  • Bread in whole loaf so it lasts more than 24h, large hand-cut slice feel better, and a minor inconveinience anyhow.

    Do not over cut grass, it's time consuming, feels artificial, and is bad for insects

    if you we're a CEO of a company and one of your competitors (YOU'RE NOT A MONOPOLY) developed a highly wanted feature faster than you could, how would you react and act in a executive meeting?

    Jump

  • At the top management meeting, it's mostly a discussion with product management and R&D to know How bad is-it, and why we're late ? It's absolutely fine to do the bare minimum on the new cool feature, to focus on stuff which bring immediate profit (e.g. system reliability, manufacturing optimisation, or even getting new markets), and then up to Sales and Marketing to manage the prospective customer. can be what competitor has isn't that cool. to Let's sell-it anyway, and in the 3 years between order and delivery we'll have the time to develop-it this one usually goes with the good-old Use vague and ambiguous terms in the contract to deliver a best-effort solution when it's ready and then do the strict minimum
