  • What is your favorite operating system and what do you like about it?

    Jump

  • My favorite and the longest I’ve used was Antergos until they stopped maintaining it. At the time, it was the most popular Arch-with-an-installer distro. Before that, I was a fan of Peppermint OS simply because it was a beautiful looking distro. I’m currently running Mint because I don’t have time to maintain an OS and I just want something that works. It’s pretty good I’d say.

  • TIL of the Jon Hamm conundrum

    Jump

  • I thought this was gonna be about his fratboy antics when he was younger. That aside, maybe he just needs that one leading man role that will push him to mainstream stardom. That or maybe he's a character actor stuck in a leading man's body. Actors like Colin Farrell and Ryan Gosling are at their best as character actors instead of playing dashing leading men.

  • ‘He’s alone’: Trump arraignment sees no family, no posse, no protests

    Jump

  • I imagine one of the prosecutors touches Trump's forehead for a few seconds, then says: "It's afraid!"

  • What are some offbeat shows on streaming services that you like?

    Jump

  • Amidst the flood of Korean tv shows on netflix, there are some pretty good ones. And no, I’m not talking about Squid Game. If you like drama thrillers, I can recommend:

    Beyond Evil

    Extra Curricular

    D.P.

    Korean shows are generally longer and have more episodes, so it takes a little getting used to if you aren’t. And as much as possible, watch with subs, not dub.

  • I much prefer Lemmy over Mastodon

    Jump

  • It’s basically forum discussion vs microblogging, and they are different types of social media. I myself prefer a forum type format because the focus of discussion is on a topic and doesn’t need my identity to be involved in. It’s also hard to maintain a conversation on a microblogging format when many people are replying to each other at the same time, unlike a forum where there are nested threads. It’s the reason I never got into twitter.

    I did try mastodon because it was on the fediverse, but stopped posting after 2 weeks because I couldn’t think of anything interesting to post and it was hard to follow conversations with other people. It was also weird knowing there were people "following" me and will see everything I post.

    Simple Arch :)

  • I felt the third act dragged on a bit too long, but otherwise the movie was fun!

  • Favorite Terminal Emulator

    Jump

  • Tilda, because I like how I can drop it down my screen anytime by pressing one key if I need to use it.

  • Lemma: Enhance Your Lemmy Experience on iOS!

    Jump

  • If it can embed and play gifs and videos within the app instead of opening an in-app browser, it will definitely put it in front of the race between other apps currently available. I'll wait for the open beta so I don't need to sign up with an email.

  • why do peoples porn searches end up in All/Hot?

    Jump

  • It’s a bot from kbin that started posting yesterday. Some lemmy instances temporarily blocked the community it was coming from until the kbin admins fix it.

  • The creator of Pixelfed announced an upcoming encrypted messenger for the fediverse that will work across the fediverse

    Jump

  • Huh. I wonder what they mean by “bad user UX”. I was expecting concerns about encryption or privacy, not UX. I already use Signal, so it would be a positive for me if they federate.

  • Spyware maker LetMeSpy shuts down after hacker deletes server data

    Jump

  • How are these companies able to operate in broad daylight in the EU of all places? I mean the name itself is saying out loud what they do.

  • What is the most privacy friendly country out there?

    Jump

  • I was gonna say this as well. You can go 2 opposite directions. You can go for a country like Switzerland which has a lot of privacy rules in place. It generally protects you from malicious non-state actors. But you can also go the other way with a developing country whose government does not have the means or capability to monitor you. The tradeoff is your data on government systems is probably already compromised, just not by the government itself.

  • How does someone with no experience learn to make food?

    Jump

  • I think the part about knowing how to follow instructions is pretty much true though, at least for me. I only started cooking by myself in my mid-20s. I started by just searching a recipe and adding “simple” in my search query so I get something I can realistically make with what I have in the kitchen/pantry. Then I just follow it to the letter. Through repeated trial and error I eventually learned what could be done faster or easier, what ingredients can be substituted, etc.

  • Phony bank accounts resurface at Wells Fargo, with a twist

    Jump

  • I hate that they have the best cash back credit card right now according to nerdwallet. I want to get a new credit card as a backup but I really want to avoid wells fargo.

  • EPA Approved a Fuel Ingredient Even Though It Could Cause Cancer in Virtually Every Person Exposed Over a Lifetime

    Jump

  • If I’m reading the article correctly, the ingredient is supposed to be used for boat fuel, so even the ocean isn’t safe.

  • How do people sleep on planes?

    Jump

  • Watch a movie on the in-flight entertainment. I can never finish a movie on a plane. No matter what I do, I fall asleep. If I don’t watch anything, I can’t sleep.

  • Winning is relative

    Jump

  • Don't forget they won't help you until you spend a couple of thousands out of pocket first.

  • Using the Lemmy mobile website

    Jump

  • It has a hard client for IOS via testflight as well.

  • Microsoft shuts down Cortana, Apple should do the same with Siri

    Jump

  • I just say "Hey sir, start timer 15 (or whatever) minutes". Works every time. I sometimes even ask how many minutes left.
