Appreciation Post
Just want to let be known I am very greatful for this wonderful app! I’ve used it every day for months and it has largely defined my experience with lemmy. As a software dev I know how exhausting it can be implementing all these thoughful features and I’m blown away by the quality/feature set. So, thanks!
Low effort posts
Ask Lemmy is a place to ask thought provoking questions. The mods have been lenient with some of the recent posts on the basis that they must provoke thought for some people, but after seeing two posts essentially saying “what do you think of my stick?”, I believe we can raise the bar a bit on what kind of thoughts we want...

What's an amusing thing to say before going under general anesthesia?
Last time, I used: “Anybody need anything while I’m out?” and that went over well. May not make it through this surgery on Friday, so I turn to Lemmy for top-notch suggestions for my potential last words!

What's the name of the belief that gods/entities are quasi-semtient memes (the linguistic term, not the cultural term) in the same manner that corporations and governments are considered people?
It’s a personal philosophy that I’ve come to use as my own form of religion, and while I’m aware other people have researched the idea, I’m having some trouble finding the name for the concept.
Can licking an iron bar get you the daily recommended amount of iron?
How many licks would it take? Can the iron in bars even be processed by the body? Can you do this for other minerals?

Why Not Store Encrypted Emails in Plaintext Locally?
Clients like Thunderbird are great because you have everything stored locally so you can easily search offline. They also support encrypting and decrypting emails in PGP. However, they seem to have the same limitation as protonmail where you can’t search through encrypted emails....

Question about Android. Is there a way to replace the system file manager on non-rooted devices?
When you need to upload a photo to a photo hosting site through a browser, the system file manager opens. When choosing a photo for editing, this also happens through the file manager built into Android. Is there a way to force applications to open my preferred file manager instead of the system one?

What is your “basic” list of fonts every linux desktop user should install ?
I am in one of those walking boot cast things for the foreseeable future. I bought sharpies to decorate it so it isn't as terrible. How should I decorate it?
I’ll probably be in the boot until at least February. It has to be work appropriate because I’ll be back at the office part time starting next month
[Discussion] What is your Thanksgiving strategy?
Every Thanksgiving since I was a child, I’ve had to make something for Thanksgiving. Typically, and I think this goes for many Americans (and presumably Canadians cause they have a similar Thanksgiving), this involves sharing the kitchen with way too many cooks. It can be difficult to know what tools you’ll have in an...

Proton plan as a couple (Family or Individual?)
Does anyone that pays for proton also use it with a SO? We’ve been looking to pay for it but the family plan looks like an overkill for us. The viable alternative is paying for the Mail Plus plan for each of us but we are a bit worried that we won’t be able to share calendars....
