otter,

Isn’t that how the game works? You buy everything from the bank, but at least the bank doesn’t take advantage of that monopoly

otter,

This is an awful situation and I hope the people caught up in this make it out ok.

As respectfully as possible, I’m curious what the service and speeds are like for that price

otter,

For those that didn’t click the article

Lodging a complaint at the Binauli police station on Saturday, the woman’s brother said that on Wednesday, she was working at the cauldron when Pramod, Raju and Sandeep allegedly molested and misbehaved with his sister. When she protested, the accused allegedly threw her into the hot cauldron with the intention of killing her, and also hurled “casteist words” at her. After this, the three accused fled.

otter,

Sounds fun!

If you make a sample post it might help, I’m a bit unsure what it should look like

otter,

People’s situations can be different, OP is asking how they can join while minimizing the harms

We don’t have to not join something because the trend is people leaving. Worst case scenario they meet the immediate need and leave alongside whoever they need to connect with

otter,

I found this

MS-DOS (FAT) - This is Disk Utility’s name for the FAT32 filesystem.

engadget.com/2011-09-19-mac-101-format-choices-fo…

So I think the advice about the FAT32 issue people mentioned is the issue :)

otter,

It’s on fdroid :)

The core issue here is instances disappearing, and That goes into the discussion of the structure of the fediverse right now vs. the fediverse in the future

A dozen big instances feel better now, and I personally wouldn’t make a community on a smaller instance unless I know it is likely to stay up. If it was run by an existing organization for example.

Long term though, I trust existing organizations to set up stable instances that won’t be shut down easily. If a government, school, game company etc. makes an instance it’s not likely to go down. Having lots of instances will look more normal then.

Ultimately we don’t need to do anything differently, I recommend new people join a big instance and then make a new account once they know what instance they like.

note to everyone: please don’t downvote good faith questions

OP asked a pretty reasonable open ended question. There are other people who may be thinking the same, and reading the discussions here might change their minds. Save downvoting for rule breaking / content that’s bad for the community

otter,

You joke but a doctor recently got her license revoked for it

Please don’t use asklemmy as a support community, it fills it with spam

Try !newtolemmy or !lemmy, or one of the other links in the sidebar

I have a few friends and family on Signal. Pretty much everyone uses other services too (including myself) but Signal is installed on a few

  • I talk to some friends / family on Signal exclusively. They either already cared about it, or they’re close enough that they trust my recommendation / still don’t care but want to put in the effort
  • I talk to some friends / family on Signal only when we want to have a more private conversation
  • Some people won’t ever be convinced, I talk to them on other services or in person when privacy is important. I set up boundaries to protect myself, and people usually respect that.

This way I protect myself while respecting other people’s choices.

For you I’d recommend focussing on the second option. When you need to talk privately, ask the person to install it and give a short explanation for why it’s better. If they do, then great it’s installed and it’ll get used once in a while. Maybe they will see other people and build up the network. If they don’t install it, then suggest an alternative like talking in person

otter,

You have 26 more years to invest in some cleanup kits

Yep this post is getting a downvote

He wants this message out there, why help

do an AMA, sockpuppeting as someone else

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?

otter, (edited )

You should probably ask this on !askandroid

This isn’t the community for specific personal questions

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...

otter, (edited )

There is one now lol: !stick

see the recent post on !newcommunities

PSA: There are paid services that use residential/clean (not identified as VPN) IP address VPNs/proxies that allow you to watch Hulu etc in other countries.

Just a heads up since this doesn’t seem to be common knowledge. There are a lot of different services. You can search “residential proxies” or “clean ip address vpn” and similar. Not sure if I’m allowed to name the names of services, but the one I use (not affiliated, just been using it for a few months now) has a US...

Sometimes live content (ex. Sports) or lesser known international content can’t be pirated as easily

otter,

What about unplugging the HDMI cable to test, see if it still turns on

otter,

sorry old Ptolemy

otter,

this

^(example of the types of comments that don’t really contribute anything)

otter,

I didn’t think to use that, thanks :)

otter,

Same! I just need to remember to go through it more often

otter,

Try !dontdeadopeninside

Or this link

Lemmy web UI seems to break the links if you click the autocomplete, i think that’s what happened above

otter,

There’s not much to do really. On the web, you’ll see a little pencil icon near the community name, which lets you change things (ex. Sidebar text, images, settings).

It’s up to you how you want to do things. I’d recommend adding a description to the sidebar for what you want to see in the community, and any relevant rules. People in your community will need to follow those rules, as well as the rules for the lemmy.world instance (ex. Think local laws vs. national laws), so you don’t need to cover everything.

No shame in copying rules from other places, such as the Reddit equivalent, when you’re not sure.

Day to day, you’ll see reported content in the mod page (little shield icon up top) and if you want to remove a post you need to open the comments and then find the button for it.

@xylinna I’m happy to help out while the community is cleaned up again (if you guys want more help), but I probably won’t stick around since I think Jimbabwe can handle it :)
