  • What are some good ad-free podcasts?

    Jump

  • Thank you! We don't know what the fuck we're doing half the time - but to be honest, maybe thats a good thing. Super professional presentation does turn me off a bit.

  • What are some good ad-free podcasts?

    Jump

  • I'm part of a podcast and we also do not have any adverts or sponsorship. We sell merch and we have a ko-fi account which we mention once per episode (if we remember to lol).

    Subject matter is um..kind of niche though I suspect.

  • Removed

    The future of fediverse :)

  • Nostr is where everyone who secretly admires Musk/Trump/Zuck goes.

  • Elon Musk installs illegal server to seize all federal workers’ data

    Jump

  • It's been wild reading news stories coming out the US over the last couple of weeks.

    Not the stories themselves of course, but the air of shock and alarm in both the stories and in the comment sections - and its not just Lemmy, its everywhere there's a comment section - when you knew what he was going to do, he told you what he was going to do - why are you now in any way surprised or disturbed?

    The main question I have is that I've been hearing from Americans for decades now how gun ownership means you have a 2nd amendment based militia ready to go to protect the constitution and yet in the face of what is completely obviously the initial stages of a coup, I see no signs of that militia. Where are you?

  • What is a good alternative to proton mail these days?

    Jump

  • Open letter to Zuckerberg from Pixelfed creator Supernault

    Jump

  • Also means people can safely quote from it on those platforms.

  • Starching

    Jump

  • I'm guessing Dad is a big Queen fan.

  • House Republicans pass bill to ban trans women and girls from school sports

    Jump

  • Going by the Bill I'd say Americans (of the fash political kind) have an unhealthy obsession with the contents of other peoples undies.

  • Friendica is a great fediverse alternative to Facebook

    Jump

  • Not much though :) you can add a subdomain via the web control panel, run the server diagnostics, go back to the new domain and apply a Lets Encrypt certificate - done.

  • What's your Album of the Year?

    Jump

  • It's getting cold

    Jump

  • A mug on a plate is not interchangeable, conceptually, with a teacup and saucer. Even ones decorated in a rather fetching Wedgewood-esque style.

  • Experience with Yunohost

    Jump

  • If you stick to the apps that are indicated as being well supported it's good. The main reason I use it is because I'm part of a team that includes people not comfortable with the command line so having a web interface to manage a server means not everything falls on my shoulders.

  • What is your personal perception of people that like to listen to metal? Does that change based upon age?

    Jump

  • Speaking as one, the majority are decent people but there is a minority who are openly fash and a sadly growing amount who tolerate fash bands cos the riffs are good.

  • If its open source and privacy respecting then I'll use the app. If its not and I have to use the service then website

  • What are some useful general maintenance tips can you give to people living on their own in apartments or housing?

    Jump

  • UK experience:

    • Open all your windows to air out for at least 20mins every day. If the place is prone to damp, twice a day. This includes days its sub-zero outside
    • Cheap rugs in strategic high traffic places protect shit carpets
    • If the landlord supplied it, the landlord fixes it
    • Get a windup torch for when the power goes out (it will)
    • Massive electric blankets to wrap up in rather than having the heating on 24/7
    • Charity shops for cutlery, glasses, mugs, plates. cooking utensils etc. Just make sure to clean them well before using.
    • Heavy thermal curtains in front of external facing doors and between rooms (if open plan).
    • Make sure you know exactly where elec/gas/water meters are, make a note of their reg. no. and take regular readings.
    • Get storage solutions that stack high rather than wide.

  • What's the deal with English muffins and why do the English like them so much?

    Jump

  • Much like my fellow English folk in this thread, I wasn't sure what they even were. The only times I've ever had them is on an egg mcmuffin at the local Mickey D's.

  • In a more complex future world where media is tailored to you, how are you entertained differently?

    Jump

  • We will get whatever companies and algorithms push at us, just like social media. The idea that media is tailored to us is a bit of a myth in my opinion when that tailoring can be overridden at the whim of an advertiser paying more than the competition.

    I'm also not sure that tailoring things is really good for personal growth. Of course we all have tastes and prefer certain genres in terms of things like games, books, movies, music etc but having just tailored content seems like a bit of a dead end street where its more and more difficult to find experiences you've never even considered, let alone tried.

  • Why are people preferring Blue Sky over Mastodon?

    Jump

  • The people leaving Twitter right now want Twitter minus Elon. That's Bluesky. They've heard a couple of their Twitter follows mention it and they've gone to their app store where they find an app called Bluesky, install it and easily join and start using it. Once they do they are finding it pretty straightforward to find people they used to follow on Twitter.

    That's all people want.

  • Is Reddit going to remain the primary space for this community?

    Jump

  • And it'll stay that way until people use, and keep using, this space. So, to use an overused phrase, be the change you want to see :)
