Why don't telemarketers give up on unresponsive numbers?
When receiving unsoliciting phone calls by telemarketers, many people consistently hung up, don’t bait, and don’t interact. So why don’t telemarketers delete from their databases such phone numbers that don’t lead to any sales or other business benefits?...
why do lemmy users hate the use of emojis ?
I’m a heavy emoji user, texting is such a poor medium for communication, many times people get the wrong message, but with an emoji you’ll get an idea of the face I’m making, so less chance of misunderstanding...
Screencasting tools with Wayland support
Can you recommend any screen video capture tools compatible with Wayland? I’ll use such a tool on my Raspberry Pi 400 under 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm, so I’d prefer one with appropriate Debian binaries....
What UI design trend do you hate the most?
I personally hate rounded corners and shadows added everywhere. Makes most things look crappy and smudged.

What Are Your Favorite SBCs (Single Board Computers), Why, and How Did You Get Into Them?
Like most people, I entered COVID as a normal hobby geek with a Linux server I played around with and a healthy hardware habit with a side of home automation and DD-WRT. I emerged from COVID enrolled in college, now with two servers (one new build, one rebuilt from my first one), two Pi, multiple instances of Home Assistant (one...
What's with the corporate obsession with customer feedback?
If you contact the customer support of your utility company, phone carrier, bank, or other service provider you’ll likely be flooded with requests to rate the experience and provide feedback.

Be honest, do you still use reddit?
I used to check the front page at least once every day, and occassionally check specific subreddits. Now I don’t look at reddit unless theres some drama, like mods getting purged, then I’d go there and enjoy the drama. Occasionally there will be questions that only reddit has the answer to so I have to reluctantly use it. I...
Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny?

And when one account get banned, i login to my other account to get banned for “trying to evade” a ban
Is anybody else more active here then they were on Reddit?
When I was on Reddit I felt like my opinion didn’t matter. But here it just feels more open and free.
People around the world, do you drink tap water without boiling?
