Ask Lemmy

For me i’d say vocaloid when i was younger. No clue about now, maybe some russian songs like igorek.

When I was a teen, I would watch stuff mostly on my phone and sometimes a low-end laptop that's like 1366x768 resolution, cuz that's all I had.

Now I have slightly better displays, I use headphones now, but still I'm probably not going to a movie theater any time soon, mostly because I'm not used to it, and also because the Post-Covid fear still lingers, not to mention, a crowd of too many people making me anxious, and various factors (mostly anxiety of other people, but also: yaRrr 🏴‍☠️). I mean, its just something I never experienced so its too much anxiety for me, and home viewing experience is more relaxing, even if it isn't the IMAX experience.

(btw: Does anyone actually enjoy theaters? 🤔)

No, im not trolling lemmy users..

So in looking for jobs, I do see a lot of them require windows server experience. I've been immersing myself fully in linux learning but figure that is kind of useless for me since a ton of places also use windows for networking.

Will many of the skills transfer? Are there specific large differences to watch for? Also, can one even mess with windows server since it's expensive and enterprise only?

Hi All,

I am trying to migrate from reddit to lemmy. Been using on and off for a about year, but now am considering to use it more now.

Would love some recommendations for communities to join? Especially in the following topics:

• finance
• investing
• movies & tv (trending + review)
• books
• science and tech
• aerospace and space engineering
• any other perhaps you want suggest.

Thanks!

Do people in France have flags on their cars? Do they sell clothing with the flag for Zimbabwe everywhere? Do people dress as their country's mascot for every day events?

What are your favorite insane laptops?

Bump and fall proof, liquid proof, sand proof (and cat hairs proof I assume), extreme heat/cold proof, can be used as a blunt weapon in an emergency. Ridiculously overkill for anyone that's not a geologist working in Antarctica or an archaeologist in the Gobi desert, and ridiculously overkill is fun

Well, Facebook, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, and now Whatsapp. I really can't stand using an app that has ads. I really really could use them if they weren't so intrusive or annoying, Whatsapp it's the only META app that I'm still using due my close relations do use it.

Which App do you use to chat with your closest people? You simple don't? Or you use another medium to get in touch? I always can make a call to my relatives, but there are people, like my gf, which I need to communicate in more than one way, send audios, photos, videos, etc. Every reply it's appreciate it.

What's bussin' musically in the piece of land you be from?

I'm talking about games that you still like but you had no idea were criticized so much.

The perfect example for me is Sonic Unleashed.

I admit that the game has its bad things, but I would have never imagined that it was so hated at the time... Although, that could be extended to the entire Sonic franchise, since for many years I was not aware at all of that "Sonic was never good", "Sonic had a rough transition to 3D" nonsense.

If so, how?

(A funny meme for you, if you’re wondering about the picture)

So to preface, like everyone else, I came from reddit, a website that I left due to some subs that I don’t want to name as they are personal to me.

The reason I left is because it got flooded with stupid people, and I realised that the only reason I kept using Reddit was to argue with those fools.

But the thing is, that simply cutting out reddit didn’t solve my problem, which is that I really hate a lot of people and I’m not even going to deny it.

A lot of them deserve it tho, I’m mostly talking about those jerks who try to stample on others to feel better about themselves. I hate how this word got “ruined” but to be precise I’m talking about “bigoted” people.

Anyways l just because they “deserve” the hate (or don’t) I still feel angry after meeting people like this and I honestly don’t know what to do now.

Installing a new vanity, and like idiots, we forgot to account for a floating cabinet when plumbing hookups went in, so the drain outlets have about 3-4 inches clearance below, but there's plenty of space otherwise. The plan is actually to try some waterless valve traps anyway, but if we don't like them, or there's some future inspection issue, can it simply be sloped up at a 1/4 -1/2 in grade? Maybe also with some bends to save space?

My plumber comes to install in a few days, and I'd like to know how much of an idiot he'll call me

If your post would end up like that in a day, please just refrain from posting it, in any community, or use a throwaway. It is very destructive, especially since all and every comment also becomes unreachable with it.

Sincerely,
With all due respect,
Your Lemmy neighbor

I'm fed up with this shit, and I know it well that it's not just me.

Do not bomb your communities, please.

I promise, I'll end up setting up a public instance that does not obey any deletions because of these madlads. Seriously, where is pushshift for lemmy?

I'm mainly interested in how clean it gets the dishes, and how reliable it is. I also don't need or want any kind of internet-connected features.
