I find unusual spirits interesting, and I want to hear about the ones you have.

It can sometimes be hard to separate the artist from their art. Are there any artists who were bad people but whose work you still enjoy?...

The ESP8266 is a popular and versatile Wi-Fi-enabled microcontroller board widely used in the Internet of Things (IoT) and embedded systems projects. Its GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) pins...

The owner kind of makes a weak attempt to seem like they’re trying, but if I weren’t there, they wouldn’t intervene at all. I’m asking because I want to make sure that I don’t over react next time.

I have the impression that the lion’s share of all posts on Lemmy are reposts or screenshots from other platforms.

There are a myriad of news articles here on Lemmy that display the abhorrent influence billionaires have on our society (especially the US, where I reside). I consistently read comments where the posters appear hopeless and despondent of the situation, while others jokingly refer to the guillotine....

I really like to post OC edits, but there seems to be absolutely no great solution. I don’t have the storage space or good internet to self-host PeerTube, catbox.moe seems to be hit or miss, uploading huge video files to an instance is just rude, and YouTube tries to deny the privacy of the viewer and uploader at every turn....
