luthis, in Anyone know of a trustworthy, easy to use (ideally FOSS) program that will allow me to easily identify and compare duplicate files on windows 10? Alternatively, could you point me in the direction of a more appropriate magazine to ask in?

Pretty sure you could use a recursive diff and output duplicate names to rm

Obviously after making triple sure what you’re doing

Doesn't look like something I can do on windows without downloading a software, which is what I'm actually looking for, but thanks

luthis,

Oh shit, sorry, I didn’t see that.

No worries

PurpleTentacle, in When will we have a phone (Android/iPhone) apps on kBin? From what I understand developers are waiting for the API.

I’m writing this comment via Boost for Lemmy.

Kbin is federated, so - why not use one of the many Lemmy apps?

Can you login to a kbin.social profile using a Lemmy app?

snownyte, in What's the most cynical profession ever ?
@snownyte@kbin.social avatar

Politician would definitely win. You have to really whore yourself out to be even remotely likeable if you want votes. You have to spend like crazy campaigning. You have to go around from town to town, actively making promises you know you won't keep. You lie your face off in every debate you're in.

Then if you finally reach a position, it's literally like a cushy job with, somehow, the bare minimum requirements. The worst you can do is just not fulfill your promises but then again, you lied enough anyways so what does it matter? You could get into trouble with authorities but again that depends on position and some political positions give you diplomatic immunity and if you're in one of those, then go ahead and break nearly all the laws short of killing people.

Politicians' key things to do is just talk, write on paper, sit for prolong periods to vote on things and basically just rely on other staff to do all of the dirty work for you. All at the expense of those they govern.

FoodDude, in What are some mostly universal gifts for thanking people for doing you a big favor or being good hosts?
@FoodDude@feddit.nl avatar

In my country a bouquet of flowers.

@shroomad@kbin.social avatar

Flowers is an interesting one, even if the receiver is a man? In Mexico, US, and probably a lot of Canada this would be seen as either a romantic advance or a joke unless you have a very intimate (can be platonic) relationship with them already and generally just for women even then

@JWBananas@startrek.website avatar

A hand-written thank-you card means a lot in the age of the Internet

Very true

Teppic, in Why are some Lemmy communities/magazines not appearing in kbin?
@Teppic@kbin.social avatar

And like magic, now it is federating (but there have been no posts since).

@MeccAnon@kbin.social avatar

I'm in read only mode, only to follow a couple of celebrities and otherwise watch the dumpster fire.

@InLikeClint@kbin.social avatar

I left Twitter in the beginning of the Nazi Elon Musk buying it. That whole site is toxic bullshit by design. I was only there for the sports anyway.

melroy, in Launching Kbin Migration website, with resources and guides to help new users migrate to Kbin and the Fediverse from Reddit.
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Did you also checked-out https://unofficial-kbin-guide.surge.sh?

TheArstaInventor,
@TheArstaInventor@kbin.social avatar

Will take a look into it! Thanks for mentioning.

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Today I would say we have mbin now which is a fork. So maybe this guide can show both versions.

TheArstaInventor,
@TheArstaInventor@kbin.social avatar

Kbin will still be developed am I right? And why are you moving to Mbin? Are they both compatible?

technologicalcaveman, in What is your least favorite food?

I don't like pork. It tastes just bad to me, no matter how it's made. I'm not a big chicken fan either, unless it's made a certain way.

noyesster, in What is the best horror movie that's not scary at all ?
@noyesster@kbin.social avatar

Return of the Living Dead. Amazing 80’s horror/comedy goodness. So damn funny 😄

LanternEverywhere, in Is there a way to change KBin default post language to English? I've removed Swedish but it keeps defaulting all posts to that regardless.

Not quite exactly the answer you're looking for, but you can just create a new kbin account

EdenRester, in Can you recommend me a book?
@EdenRester@kbin.social avatar

Perhaps that you've already read them but i recently enjoyed Martin Eden by Jack London and Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy

indigojasper, in Is KBIN dying? Srs Question: Is there any further development or support being done for Kbin.Social Keep getting the error page when trying to block users, create posts, view notifications. Been going on for weeks now.
@indigojasper@kbin.social avatar

I haven't been having any of those problems, but the lack of a mobile app has led me to using kbin as my PC place and my lemmy-based accounts on Jerboa as my mobile place. I still just don't like the overall interface and limitations on functions of Lemmy, but need a mobile access point.

Gordon_Freeman,
@Gordon_Freeman@kbin.social avatar

but the lack of a mobile app

just install the website like if it were an app. it works

indigojasper,

i used to do this but i've been trying to de-google

You can do this with firefox, too. It how I run it on my mobile.
