I’ll go first with an example below....

One of my own, but posted elsewhere to explain various open source software licenses....

And if that’s possible, why are servers needed at all? Can’t an app just create a server per user and run it on the users device?

Is there any way to get these going relatively painlessly?...

I’ve noticed an overwhelming number of posts here glorifying the “good old days” and how Lemmy embodies that sense of community we all long for. But let’s be real: we don’t actually know each other, and that’s okay....

Hey Lemmings...

Why YSK: I've been seeing an increasing number of phone photos shared online in 9:16, 9:21 or similarly tall aspect ratios, often with parts of the subject cut off. I've asked a few people why they cropped their images that way, and none of them knew they were cropped.

Die Urlaubssaision steht an und damit auch sicher viele lange Fahrten mit Kindern. Was sind eure Tipps, um die Fahrt in den Urlaub für Groß und Klein erträglich zu machen?

Well I am here to update y’all on the rules regarding Piracy and unfortunately for some, piracy will remain against the rules permanently....

I thought I’d throw together some of the more common questions as a starting point....

Looks like the website was suddenly changed to new owners. Odd that it happened without notice to the mod team. Lot of things seem to be broken, more than just a change of domain and website colour. Videos are not being allowed to play in brave, just firefox and chrome. Only two video sources now....

Since the Fedidverse is all connected, should I have one account for accessing both Lemmy and Mastodon or have separate accounts for each one (as I do now)?

So to avoid scrolling past the same posts if going away and coming back to the app....

Hello - I need some help understanding something. I’m looking at two WEB-DL files from reputable groups that are identical in nearly all ways (see details below), except one file is noticeably larger than the other (2.8GB vs 3.47GB, for example). I thought WEB-DL’s should be the same size if they’re from the same source...

I tried searching for a local place, and all I got for the first two pages are instagram and facebook pages. It wasn’t until the third page I got past all that crap to get to the actual website for the location. I even tried search “PlaceName City Website” and still got all that crap instead....

Thanks for not downvoting comments that you disagree with unlike Reddit....

Will we try to prevent google (and other) scrapers?...

I’m just curious if it is on the table at some point. I only see a small slice of beehaw when I’m logged in but the active participation feels like it is on a downward trend. Like, there appears to be ~700 on here right now. I know numbers aren’t everything, but overall engagement is important. I’m on several instances...

I regularly play UNO atm and would love to hear your strategies when playing this game. Do you try to remember what cards were played e.g. the +2 an d+4? Do you switch colors if someone is about to finish? Do you also keep the color-picker until the end?

New lemmy communities for these distros...

Over the years I have self-hosted a ton of stuff for people on the internet. So much, in fact, that I started a little non-profit to sort of make it “more official”. I love to help people, and people are truly grateful when I set something up for them. So I continue to do it. That being said, it can get expensive....

I just bought a used Gateway Keyboard RT3602 and i have some questions about it. 1. When was it made? 2. Is it mechanical?

Hey, hi. I am in an Exam week and I’d love some recipes that are fast to make. Last year I only ate stuff that didn’t really suit my eating habits and fell apart during my workouts.

I’ve seen some sources say that too high or low of pH levels can impact how well a stimulant is absorbed into your system. It seems the biggest source in regular diets, especially American diets, is citric acid. I enjoy many citric heavy juices, and also drink a lot of soda. Do you guys watch your citric acid intake about an...
