Given that someone got domestic terrorism charges for saying "Deny, Defend, Depose", do you think it would be a bad idea for me to carry a sign at a peaceful protest that says "Deny Musk, Defund Doge, Depose Trump"?

I'm shocked that I haven't seen one protest yet. Is the media suppressing them? If there aren't any, why?

I seem to have acquired a baby face next to my name when I post something. How do I get rid of this please? I’ve have looked.

A conversation with a senior physician triggered this question. He's been 35 years on the job and recently wrote me a letter of recommendation.

I gave up on a study course after five years of hell and now I'm back at my parents' house and must make a big decision on what career to pursue and find a job asap. But I just can't decide, I can't picture myself in 5/10 years from now and can't even imagine what type of job I'd love, bc everything seems out fo reach and impossible, just like it felt when I was 20.

As title says. I want to really soak in that high-minded worldview today.

Inspired by the recent c/AskLemmy question about Myanmar.

You're only able to choose two options, how is that democracy? I thought democracy was about being able to choose anyone you think is suitable to be a leader, not one of two pre-selected people. At that point, it's not much different to a one-party system, just with two people rather than only one person.

Serious answers only. For over a year I was told that trump "doesn't have anything to do with that".

Whether it's a project you're working on, plans you have this weekend, an event you're going to, etc. What's something that's got you excited?

And I mean in like, The 2011 Japan earthquake where our days literally got faster, COVID because ... Y'know. COVID. Etc.

Think about like the worse of the worst. Dictators, war criminals, etc...

While it fell a bit out of fashion, many of you have heard about Scam-baiting where you reply to scammer and drive them nuts. In the 00's the 419eater.com website was pretty popular.

I would have to think that state schools get federal funding, and federal funding is about to disappear. As a casual fan of college football, it got me wondering what the downstream effects are going to be.

I can only think of a video game of this name that was released 10 years ago. But I found that the Wayback Machine archived a domain name, apotheon.org, that has nothing to do with the video game (the game's actual website is apotheongame.com). Why the domain name doesn't infringe on the Apotheon's video game trademark (assuming that the term was invented)?

I don't know how to exactly describe what I'm after so I'll explain my intent. I'd like to record (write up) my dreams from the night as a first thing in the morning, every day. I'd want it to be recorded with date stamp and easily searchable. Something like calendar and or diary/journal combined. I can't figure out what I should be looking for. Simple calendar might do, but I'd have to start new event every morning and fill all the unneeded cells...

Are there any canonical references to how fast these two are, for comparison?

Like, say, you are a revolutionary who's imprisoned, but you are allowed to write letters to your family. How would you covertly send a message to your fellow revolutionaries that only they can decode? (Your family are on your side will pass the letter along)

In an effort to further curate my online experience and try to bring stuff I'm interested in directly to me without all the "noise" and effort that goes with scrolling random sites, I'm late to the party and finally trying out RSS.

In 2022 my car (a 2010 Nissan Versa) kicked the bucket. The engine was broken and needed to be replaced. Rather than spending even MORE money on repairs (I had spent a few thousand or so on various other parts at this point), I decided to buy a newer car that would, presumably, require fewer repairs in the short term.

My job role is a Technical Lead. When researching some cloud technologies for adoption I came across the Cloud Native Computing Foundation's Landscape web page which lists all cloud technologies that come under their umbrella.

I'm wondering if I should just delete lemmy to stay under the radar. 🤔 (I'm a US Citizen currently residing in the US, and moving out of the country is not really an option)

I brushed my teeth and then dissolved a zinc tablet in my mouth.

How did you guys get your fediverse real-time notifications to work, pushed directly into your phone's notifications section? It seems that at the moment, I am using the Summit app, which claims that it checks every 15 minutes. However, my Summit app doesn't work in real-time, possibly because my phone is old, even though I have turned off battery optimization. Currently, I rely on my email services to receive notifications from my fediverse social accounts.

Or at least has the Open Dyslexic font as an option.

Where I’m at, the temps flip-flop day to day, even hour to hour. In the morning it’s 35° outside, and by evening it’s 79°. I gave up keeping up with the temps and shut my unit off for the time being.

Sadly I think I'm finally ready to put Sync out to pasture since it isn't maintained.

I have composed a piece of written musings on the tools choice in clay sculpting which I put on a display on a public internet forum.

I've been using Windows since the days of 3.1, practically my entire life. So I'm really comfortable with how windows operates and how to do the things that I want to do.

I signed up for so many fediverse instances that are open for registration. Yes, so many. Maybe around 10 to 30 instances; I didn't count. But I'm sure there are many. Am I the only one who does this? 🤣 How many fediverse instances have you signed up for?

I used to see him all over the place and now nothing. I checked his post history and it’s been 24 days since he last posted anything.

Seems very reddit to me

I know the lithium batteries are supposed to be a pain to recycle but how are the conventional ones broken down to recover all the materials?

So, in other words: which of your core beliefs do you think has the highest likelihood of being wrong? And by wrong, I don’t necessarily mean the exact opposite - just that the truth is significantly different from what you currently believe it to be.

Yes, the US Marshall Service is part of the Department of Justice.

Why are female characters who can solve things without anyone's help hated, but male characters who are perfect at practically everything are loved?

There's a couple listed on fedditOrg's description, but now I wonder which interfaces you guys use and how to find all the options

When I'm shopping for a desktop computer, I hear two numbers constantly: Clock speed (usually in GHz) and core/thread count. What else is there to CPU performance besides these two numbers? What makes a modern CPU more performant than a CPU from years ago, assuming the same core count and clock speed?

When I was a teenager, I thought people in their 20's were the most attractive. Now that I'm about 40, I still think people in their 20's are the most attractive. It's hard for me to believe that I might ever be attracted to someone past retirement age, even when I'm past retirement age myself, unless the person is like one of those celebrities who look way younger than they are.

Someone just asked the opposite of this question here and I was wondering if there are cases were you're just not interested in something but you know the community is great nonetheless.

I guess that this 50501 movement has somehow gained some recent popularity from somewhere, but the sheer volume of content, communities, and even instances seems weird.

What is your line in the sand?

这是我第一次使用 Lemmy，虽然我知道它支持 ActivityPub 、但还是需要深度了解一下

including comic books.

Could be an attached memory or sentimental value, whatever.

I don't think their arguments are sound because they are trying to combine an originalist viewpoint with a hyper corporate one but in they end are they wrong to recognize cash is king?

Whats the best way to take action for me as a single user? What kind of posts should I focus on making? Ive heard of fetching reddit posts, maybe I could do that if theres like an easy process to do so, I'd happily feed some communities I like with posts from the silicon valley mafia platform to this platform!

Setting aside Capitalism vs. Communism (or maybe I just think I am), this structure vs. that. Why is it that there aren't really huge lists of alternatives? Where are the people who are imagining new government structures?

I'm interested in ways that people document, prioritize and execute items they need to do. What have you found useful?

If you listen to any podcast(s) you recommend, tell us about it

I just want to know if reports are failing for anyone else and if we need to be making some kind of plea to the admins/moderation teams/developers to try to fix it.

employersare any good?

being extra kind like if he did something special? If so how can we make it where he knows it is just his special day B-day instead of like any other day?

I am in a temporary one-year position (not in the tech field) hired directly by the company so no recruiter involved. At three months in I asked about how I could transition to full time (my manager previously mentioned he was pleased with my performance and was impressed how quickly I was able to ramp up). The response I received from my manager was that I would have to wait until closer to the end of my one-year contract when a "headcount" would be completed. My manager also asked if I was looking for another position (I said No) and to inform him if and when I do.

Ok hear me out.

Asking because of Mahmoud Khalil is trending...

If a country like the UK decided to ban end-to-end encryption, how would they even enforce it? I understand that they could demand big companies like Apple stop providing such services to their customers and withdraw certain apps from the UK App Store. But what’s stopping someone from simply going online and downloading an app like Session? I mean, piracy is banned too, yet you can still download a torrent client and start pirating. What would a ban like this actually prohibit in the end?

I do steady, part time work as a blacksmith, because I love it.

For those versed in Feng shui (please, no internet researchers) what is the right Cardinal directions the head of a bed should be oriented to? I've been having sleeping problems, and I had it oriented north-west. Searching the web says south-east it's the ideals direction, but again, nowadays I don't know what sites are ai-generated.

Hey all! Mopping and cleaning with cloth won't get the dust off, neither does hoovering. Anyone know what I need to do?

What age would you choose? Mentally you still keep growing and you keep your normal life span. Also, what age are you currently?

How could anybody trust it?

Like crewless, zero crew. There isn't even any flight attendants.

As in, what's the evolutionary reason for this? I can get seeing dogs as cute because they probably helped early humans by being "guards" essentially and they're just great companions in general, but what purpose does a cat have for example? All they want is food, and you get nothing in return except a cute cat to look at. Hell, even bear cubs are adorable and they'll eventually turn into something that can kill you with one swipe.

Like, am I too sensitive and this is justified or is this dumb? My sister Lena’s ex "friends" hate her and act rude to her because Lena autistic, starts conversations with them, and says she likes their outfit occasionally, which they accuse her of doing "every hour".

So recently I found out that google lens allows you to use a lens overlay to read news apps that are not in English. An example being "The Conversation" app.
