Hi Lemmings!

Samsung and Xiaomi apps on their factory defaults are mostly fine, update them once and suddenly you have ads flashing after every 2 interactions with your phone

I prefer YouTube as the platform but I'm also open to suggestions elsewhere.

My general assumption for the lowest I can expect a person to behave is basically always looking for their own absolute gain, and any attitude towards other people comes secondary to that. So while a person living by this standard wouldn't donate to charity without some other motive, they would have basically the same answer to something like the trolley problem as anyone else.

As possible = you can comfortably read

Typical pattern: "Scientists find something strange when they look at a common whatever - and it's not good!"

When do ripped jeans stop being fashionable?

Just tried pouring some ginger ale in my lemonade (homemade). 10/10, much better than I wouldn't thought

Was having some nice discussions in the news instance regarding a post about the Columbian Presidents comments on cocaine, but the thread got nuked within the last hour.

I have a 800+ streak, so my icon used to always be orange. It didn't even change when it "got sick" for everyone last year. Now they seem to have removed that feature and it "gets angry" if it's past 22.00 and I haven't done an exercise yet. Which is what I very often do.

From what I'm reading, the troubles should start to pick up now; harbors being quieter, truckers not having work, ... Are any shortages noticeable yet?

When would this parcel be ready for development in your opinion? Location: 39.79826388092789, 32.65484295814175 Plan: https://i.postimg.cc/NQbgYHrT/question.jpg

It's true that Character AI and similar services are useless without bots based on copyrighted characters?

As the title says I’m looking for advice from people that have legal experience.

I just noticed that I do .

And I'm not saying that the original is bad. You have to have a good song to have a good cover in my opinion. But sometimes the cover artist just understands the mission and takes what the original song did and expands on that a hundred times over.

I'd like to get into 3D printed fashion accessories and furniture idk

I use Ubuntu btw. Poweroff could use more write cycles on the SSD because it has to read everything at startup, but suspend has to keep supplying power to the RAM

I've been thinking lately about why, in debates (usually) about highly emotional topics, so many people seem unable to acknowledge even minor wrongdoings or mistakes from "their" side, even when doing so wouldn't necessarily undermine their broader position.

Could be work or school.

I'm 48. I have a list of take away's from life. Not in any order. 1. it is what it is 2. you will never earn more than you are worth. 3. IT ppl don't make companies any money and are easy to replace. 4. Work to take better of yourself 5. You will make mistakes, that's OK 6. Don't stay (work)at a place that you can't deal with. 7. Don't shoot yourself in the foot. 8. Don't beat yourself up when you make a mistake, or shoot yourself in the foot. 9. Always be nice/kind or fight to be, know when you are not. 10. Always set expectations

Is there an open source massive level world game that one could use to have a game-like real protest safely from the comfort of my home?

Vote in comments, or comment if your colour is not represented (poor person's poll until Lemmy adds polls officially)

If you have any experience in this field, please include so in your reply. I've seen over time a lot of criticism over the peer review process and how journals hyper-exploit academics simply because the journals are able to monetize scarcity/exclusivity. I saw another post on it today and I thought, "what if this was federated?"

Running bamboo is notoriously fast spreading and difficult to remove. What keeps its population balanced in the wild, and prevents it from crowding out the competition? I tried googling, but was inundated with gardening advice, horror stories, and assault / offensive gardening (some of the latter two presumably covering the same incident from both sides). My google-fu failed, I couldn't really find any info about natural population controls of running bamboo in the thicket of tall tales and gardening advice.

I'm GenX, a child of the cold war. "Tradecraft" is what spooks and spies do. It's espionage and poisoning enemy agents and infiltration and shit.

For me it's calculating. Too many people put math into their search engines and not their calculator.

I'm wondering if I'm able to transition as a full-time employee if I would be able to enroll immediately in health insurance or if I would have to wait for the open enrollment period.

Hello Lemmings! For the past year or so, I've been working on a solo project, and I'm kinda close to being finished with it! It's a punk rock album, made with mostly open-source tools (the only non-FOSS stuff is a couple of plugins that didn't have good open-source alternatives)!

Would you rather be able to do everything with one thing? Say, listen to music, take pictures, play, work and whatever with one device? Or would you rather have a specific device for listening to music, a specific device for taking pictures, a specific device for work and another one to play and such?

An example that I can think of is Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL), which requires a relatively short online course (for a fee, of course) and entails teaching basic english to kids from non english countries online. I've usually known of older and elderly people doing this but I don't think that's a requirement or anything lol. As far as know, the only requirements are high school English and the teaching English course.

Basically the title. A lot of us couldn't get together for proper 4/20 this year, so we're doing a make-up party on Saturday. What fun/engaging activities can we do?

State all your assumptions upfront

Which country, how much a month, what's the plan include?

Hi everyone,

What is your favorite way to visualize... Anything, images, files, music, games, etc?

We habitually spend a lot of time in daily routines, and we hear about cool stuff from the same sources. As such, we tend to lack awareness of things that don't have the capability to advertise broadly. So, what's something you expect many people don't hear about or consider for use in their life?

Not so long ago YT introduced age restrictions and this every now and then prevents me from watching the video through NewPipe. NewPipe can't play age restricted content.

I spent way too long trying to find I'm a Morning Person made by Julian Smith and found out it has since been unlisted on youtube. Only reason I finally found it was a direct link to it on another forum which appeared on search page 5 on duckduckgo.

I am completely serious about this as it’s been a fundamental question I’ve had since I joined here.

I need to get out of my desk chair more, but lately I've been trying to walk my neighborhood since the weather's nice. What kinds of things do you do to stay active? I'd love some suggestions for good stretches and simple/effective exercises. Thanks!

My most beloved British slang is Knackered. Fucking knackered! It means very tired, exhausted. But those terms are sterlized of feeling, of life. You know that feeling after you finish moving? That total fucking exhaustion, you're knackered my friend. I can't think of a word that feels more accurate to the state of reality it describes. Knackered is a fucking gift.

For example, if you only wanted to see bees, you are unable to see anything unless a bee comes into frame, in which case you are only able to see a bee.

I feel like most posts on Lemmy are irrelevant to me, and they don't refresh much, is this how Lemmy is like or is this just because I'm a new user?

24 M at a 3‑way fork for my life:

I keep seeing posts mentioning this phenomenon more and more often.

I'm about to take a long flight and am looking to expand my music library.

I didn't think he would really do it.

Things in the broadest of senses, stories/books/movies/shows/games/etc., technologies, jobs, whatever you tend to keep on the lookout for.

Whatever "too long" means to you. What eventually helped to lessen the pain?

I'm going with Danny Devito! That fuck would straighten out the church. He got good morals. He just a nice guy. What about you?

Hi, maybe you can help me with some tech suggestions. At my local scouts troop I'm one of only a few guitar players. At camp fires I play the guitar and provide lead vocals, so that others can follow (which is important especially for songs, that are not well known). Because only a few can sit directly beside me and others might talk in parallel, I need to sing very loud, to give an orientation, which makes me hoarse way faster.

Which instance is better and why?

You are presented with an opportunity to choose between two distinct options for a post-scarcity life. The parameters of each option are as follows:

This is just a fun game, don't answer anything personal or identifying you don't want to!

Share a link or face the consequences: me asking you politely to share a link.

You can choose a new sound or sound(s) to make when you fart. The sound can't be quieter than your fart would otherwise be. Nor can it be shorter than your fart would otherwise be.

I've been meaning to ask this for a while. I saw a comment a month or so ago. Person said they keep their thermostat at like 65 in the winter and 78 in the summer. 78 seems fucking insane to me. That's too damn hot for inside. How do you sleep at 78 degrees?

I always end up low-balling myself lol.
