I remember a while back Apple filed a patent that allows concerts to disable iPhones cameras if a certain signal is emitted from the stage. Apple never implemented this, but my pessemistic ass always try to think of worse case scenarios, like being used by government. Do you think this could occur in the future?...
From when it was still cool and niche to be a redditor and you needed to identify each other in public, you could use that sentence....
I am currently using Linux Mint (after a long stint of using MX Linux) after learning it handles Nvidia graphics cards flawlessly, which I am grateful for. Whatever grief I have given Ubuntu in the past, I take it back because when they make something work, it is solid....
What would Twitter look like, if Elon flushed all likes, throws x Likes in the sytem and gave it a go? Every Like has to taken from the system and there are positive and negative points just like here or Reddit. If you don’t have Likes anymore you have to dislike something else you liked in the past. It would be entertaining...
That’s leftists. Not Democrats. Anyone to the left of Democratic socialist. So not Bernie Sanders either.
Sorry if this isn’t the correct place to report this I will delete and move it to correct place if provided....
My Reddit style of browsing is to read articles, and then clear them from my “queue”, hiding them by using the “hide” widget in my feed....

Not my story, but an adorable ex-coworkers adorable daughters. I witnessed it, though....
Things like movies, books, games, songs, etc just what was the best one you even experienced that you kinda wish you could do for the first time again, also what made it so good?
How do you guys feel about accounts that post threads and then don’t ever comment in them?...
Think Automoderator but available to everyone (although bots would need some instance admin / community moderator approvals to prevent abuse)
As my question reads I am curious if the Lemmy documentation gurus are putting together any recommended instance maintenance tasks. Also are the devs going to implement something similar to Mastodon which has the tootctl command and some various cache maintenance and cleanup capability. Thanks in advance. 😀
What are the best fediverse alternatives to youtube? and what makes them so good, what are the rules? are they all open source?...
What has your kid(s) done today to you?
I’m an Indian guy in my twenties, living in US. I used to have cornflakes and the like for breakfast, but recently I turned lactose intolerant. I hate cornflakes without the milk....
I took a week off work, and I definitely needed it. I was having micro-snaps here and there. I loved this past week with my kids but somehow I’m more tired than if I just work (my two kids are under three if that makes any difference)....
I chose my instance 9 or so months ago purely because it was suggested by the Jerboa app at the time. In lieu of making numerous accounts to access communities that aren’t federated with my instance, I was hoping to make a second account with a very “federated” instance. Any suggestions?...
Every now and then, when I’m connected to a torrent a peer will connect that has a reference to “Swarm Merging” in their name. What is swarm merging?
The worst part of youtube is the terrible comments so i use this extension to see reddit comments under youtube videos. It would be great to have a similar extension for Lemmy comments to appear on youtube videos....
I’m considering getting a laptop for Linux and want to know a few things before I do. Some important info before I start: I don’t plan on using the laptop for anything too intense, mainly writing, digital art, streaming, browsing, and maybe very mild video editing (cropping at least and shortening at most). I would also...
This has been a while and I had a pro forma manager (actually, we switched roles now and then, sometimes he was my manager, sometimes i was his) who backed me every time and vice versa. We still are friends....
