…and why is it often PAINFULLY slow to acknowledge an up/down vote or to open the reply dialog?

I have the impression that the lion’s share of all posts on Lemmy are reposts or screenshots from other platforms. I don’t mean links to other sites of course, after all Lemmy is a Reddit clone and thus a link aggregator. I just think that Lemmy can’t survive if there is no way to make people aware that a particular post...

Something like “the Firm wants to hire you,” “London doesn’t like you,” or “the Company has noticed your achievements.”

Share some cool things that you can make your iPhone do thru a Shortcut, and if you can, maybe link to something or tell us how to do it....

Do you know what software is that? (I think it is not OBS)...

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

Youtube comments are historically terrible so this Reddit comment for YouTube is a great extension to never have to read YouTube comments. I no longer use Reddit though and would love to have a similar extension using Lemmy comments that also work on piped/invidious and maybe be compatible with any website/link...

I’m talking like instead of metaphors or analogies, buildings and entire cities are in fact their own sort of constructed organisms and colonies of organisms.

Good morning everyone,...

Using the metaphorical (or maybe literal) model of ideas as living things - there should be conditions we can create to nurture an ecosystem of beneficial ideas. Like making a garden or farm....

Shower thought … if the government is truly listening to us all 24/7, what nicknames would they give you?...

Hi there, I’m quite new to this digital hygiene thing. I try to avoid apps on my phone that tracks useless data for their initial purpose. How do you guys read news ? Would love a “respectful” app that doesn’t track too much data, but I’m open to any solution. Would like to browse international and french news.

There can be a lot of junk on Temu admittedly, but it’s kind of fun to find a few deals....

If they poop outside their litterbox on mat, how do I determine the guilty party and also why does it stochastically happen only occasionally and at night?

which GPT ai you like using and for which purposes?

I trust the provider, and it’s a small amount I’m willing to risk. Just don’t want to throw it away, be frustrated, or get involved with shady people....

It’s been a grey winter, and looking to stay that way. I work remote, so I was thinking of getting an SAD light. But I remember from years ago when I had one (and worked in an office) that if I put it next to my monitor it gave me a headache and made my monitor hard to see. Those of you using SAD lights, where do you put them,...

Maybe you watched an episode of a TV show that does not exist. Or you thought a secret boss in a video-game. Or even found a loophole in the physics of reality that does not actually work.

Hi,...

This guy makes amazing videos about ancient cultures, but just lately I’ve noticed he does these slightly creepy old-perv vibes in his shorts/tiktok videos. The protagonist is usually a young woman half his age who probably wouldnt give him a second look.

Was this feature impossible to implement many years ago?

I’ve been seeing a lot of usernames formatted “[lowercase][fourdigits]” or “user-[randomletternumbers]”....
