I’m already walking toward that pig slide that went viral, what other shenanigans should I experience in this town?...

I rather not install applications on my phone when there is a web application. Do people use Lenny’s website on their phone? What’s your experience if you do?

when I try to view “show context” of messages in my inbox in a new tab, the page fails to load (ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE)....

Sports are a massive phenomena, to say the least, and esports definitely seems to want to try to become similar, but so far…I think it may be fair to say it’s struggling at that, outside of maybe some specific games and countries (…Is StarCraft still a thing in South Korea?)....

I inherited my grandfather’s WWII compass, and had it sitting around for a long time on a shelf. I recently got a Geiger counter, and find that it’s radioactive. Around 10 microsieverts/hr. Apparently they used radium paint to make them glow in the dark. I can’t just throw it away, but I don’t want it potentially causing...

Say I wanted to post a tiktok, but rehost it somewhere else since many don’t have the app or don’t like the experience or whatever. What’s the preferred site(s) these days for sharing short form video?

I have to do it for work and I’ve got no idea, there seem to be so many scammy looking sites

I just noticed how disgustingly sticky mine is. #blech

I don’t know if this is true, but I’ve heard Visa and other card compabies can sometimes be expensive and difficult to small businesses. Is there something else one could use that’s not cash that would be better?

Probably two or three times a week, minimum, here.

I’m trying to find an app for lemmy that can translate foreign languages for free. Can any one suggest me one?

I have been a member of my current Mastodon instance for a few years now, and I absolutely love the community there. But recently, I found a Firefish instance that I am thinking of maybe switching over to, because I like Firefish so far, and the community there is also really awesome. I figure with migrating followers, I can...

This question is addressed to people who are familiar with video processing/editing....

Since the lockdown, many companies allowed their employees to stay at home. Many of them even working while traveling. Are you one of them? And would it be something for you?

I have installed librawolf and I see that canvas access is disabled by default in all webpages so I started activating them when they bother me (whatsapp, youtube, element.io etc.). But then I figure that it is disabled for a reason. What should I pay attention to?

All versions of the TTS I see on the web are hosted on sites that connect to their own external API (I think?) to generate the voice lines, i.e. this site hosted on tetyys.com...

What social media platforms do you use and want to recommend to others? Front ends could also be a suggestion, along with lists of great communities....

Regardless of the kind of news. I’m working on a TLDR bot and I’d like it to support the most used sites on Lemmy.

Is this really true?...

In this case, I’m referring to the notion that we all make minor sacrifices in our daily interactions in service of a “greater good” for everyone....

Did Reddit get massive because of Digg users making a beeline towards them or were they already big before that?

This is an open-ended question. I occasionally have facetime dates with my partner. What are some good activities we can do? They don’t have to be fancy or romantic,...

I’m considering writing the merfolk in my story as a sort of metaphor for indigenous peoples, as well as other sea-dwelling or otherwise aquatic humans. Is this inherently problematic in and of itself, or is there a way to write this that works and is respectful to actual indigenous folks? If it’s inherently disrespectful, I...

The 3 that come to mind for me are Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The Princess Bride. All three are poking fun at their respective genres but also are great examples of the genre. I’m curious if Lemmy has other such examples.
