  • [Help Design Lemmy] How to describe Lemmy in a single Sentence?

    Jump

  • It's really hard. Here's my best shot:

    A discussion platform for communities.

  • Meta has discontinued its metaverse for work, too

    Jump

  • It is not OP claiming that. It is the description from the link preview.

  • Digg launches its new Reddit rival to the public

    Jump

  • It's an alternative to Lemmy with some different features. Since it uses the same protocol under the hood, its instances federate with Lemmy. There's more info on the differences here.

  • I get you. I can never think of anything that would be interesting to post or ask in the more discussion-oriented communities, let alone choose a specific one to post in. I definitely find comments easier, as well as posting to more niche communities. I feel the scope is usually better defined there.

    Would you say it's about not knowing if your post would be accepted in the community, or just finding the best place for it? If it's the latter, AskLemmy could be good for general questions, or failing that, any of the casual chat communities such as !chat@beehaw.org.

    As long as your post meets the rules of the community/instance, I feel it's better to post somewhere than not at all - people can always crosspost it elsewhere if they like.

  • Jet Lag: The Game - Hide + Seek UK - Ep 5: Searching Highlands & Lowlands

    Jump

  • I've been so excited for the passenger princess all season, and this episode didn't disappoint :D Ben played the role well, I cracked up so hard when he clocked Sam and then just turned around.

    I loved the energy from Sam this round, especially once he realised it wouldn't be a winning run. Once the ability to optimise everything got taken away, he seemed to get a lot of joy from sending them round (of course, good for the episode too).

  • Never-before-seen Linux malware is “far more advanced than typical”

  • You can trust the software in your distro's repositories (if you run a distro with well-maintained repositories). This is because, generally only well-known software gets packaged, the packager should be familiar with both the project and the code, and everything is rebuilt on the distro's own infrastructure, to ensure that a given binary actually corresponds to the source.

    It might still be possible for things to slip through, but it's certainly much safer than random programs from online.

  • QWERTY Phones Are Really Trying to Make a Comeback This Year

    Jump

  • This might be a silly question, but in what ways did it get worse? Is it the size of the keyboard changing, the predictions not being as good anymore or something else?

    With my knowledge of tech companies, I'm not exactly surprised, but I'm not an iPhone user and struggling to understand how a keyboard of all things could get worse.

  • Those of you who cut off all comms with your parents, what would it take to mend things and reestablish contact?

    Jump

  • For me, it would be for her to actually respect my boundaries, and to show an active interest in who I actually am instead of what role I can fulfill for her.

  • QWERTY Phones Are Really Trying to Make a Comeback This Year

    Jump

  • There were some breakthroughs in postmarketOS with the BlackBerry KEY2 recently. I really hope a phone with the Blackberry Classic form factor gets good mobile linux support in the next few years (bonus points if it's a linux-first device!) A physical keyboard (in that form factor) is one of the few things that could convince me to ditch the Librem 5.

    I grew up on the tail end of Blackberry's dominance. Most of the people in my school had a Blackberry, I've always envied those keyboards, and I feel really nostalgic about them.

    There's something special about that form factor that appeals to me more than the N900 or clamshell designs. I think it's that they're happy to compromise the screen for a great keyboard, rather than the other way round.

  • It's dinner time, and you have to put together a meal with only ingredients already in your house, no going out for anything. What are you making?

    Jump

  • I will give my guest a three course meal!

    • Starter: Mackerel sandwich
    • Main: Half a frozen pizza
    • Desert: Lidl's fake Ben and Jerry fish food ice cream

  • If you could go back in time, what is the one thing you would change about computers or the internet?

    Jump

  • That's interesting - I hadn't heard too much dissatisfaction with IPv6 before, except for the slow adoption, and the not-as-nice looking addresses. Is it an aesthetic preference or just that IPv6 is overkill? Or any other advantages to doing it the "IPv5" way?

  • I think the only one I've seen (or seen and remembered) is 12 Angry Men. It's one of my favourites.

    I like the message, the way it's presented and the timelessness of it.
