Surprisingly, one of the only groups to use this calendar IRL was a giant international corporation: Kodak

 

I just joined lemm.ee from lemmy.world. I was drawn to lemm.ee bc it federates with all the right instances.

But my feed is behaving oddly. (I view Lemmy through the Eternity app on Android.)

  • I'm seeing posts from communities I haven't subscribed to, even when I view my "Subscribed" feed
  • I get a weird error when I try to comment on some posts (in [email protected], most recently)

These issues didn't happen previously. Anyone know how to fix?

My Asus Zenfone 8 is still going strong after 2+ years. Case and screen protector help, of course

It's not real but I don't understand who benefits from faking this

This is a good scene

Thank you for this great tool!

Is there a way I could use this to find a Lemmy instance that let's me interact with desired instances? For example:

  • I want to participate in Instance A, B, and C.
  • A has defederated from B and C
  • can I generate a list of instances that let's me interact with A, B, and C? Then I'll move my account there.

Thank you!

Really? Coworkers, crazy people, assholes. There's a lot of people who don't fall into those groups, I hope

If you're talking news media, much of their worst behavior is rooted in the ad-driven business model. Subscriptions would actually help make things better. Not sure if there's a way to leverage the fediverse for a subscription play, though

I can install any app I want on my Mac. How is this different?

 

I'm having an issue w/ fullscreen videos since the last update (22 days ago). My computer will enter Suspend mode, even if I make a video fullscreen. This happens when I'm watching Netflix, YouTube, or any other fullscreen video.

This is unusual; In the past, if I made a video fullscreen in Firefox, my computer would stay awake.

I'm wondering if this is related to a bug fix in the latest release: Bug 1853896, which addresses a previous bug in fullscreen video.

  • Is there a way that I can fix this?
  • Or, if not, can I roll Firefox back to an earlier version?

I'm running Firefox 120.0.1 (64 bit) on Linux Lite 5.6 My hardware is an old HP Chromebox connected to a display via HDMI.

Thank you Lemmy folks!

I'm looking for a FOSS email client for desktop. (Windows and MacOS, for now.)

Using Airmail or Mailbird as references, I'm looking for a client with some of these features:

  • A clean, minimalist design
  • A left-side toolbar as a narrow band, icons only.
  • Bonus points if it can schedule an email to send later.

I'm familiar with Thunderbird and there's a lot to like there, but design-wise, it's pretty cluttered, IMHO.

Does anyone know of a FOSS desktop email client that looks clean? -OR- Is there a way to change Thunderbird's layout so it looks/functions more like Airmail or Mailbird?

Thank you!

 

I'm a big user of Tree Style Tabs. And I LOVE using pinned tabs.

Recently, I modified my CSS so that my sidebar will shrink/expand on hover. I really like getting this screen real estate back.

But there's a problem: My pinned tabs keep moving every time the sidebar changes width, causing the entire tab tree to slide up. (GIF) This means I have to hover, wait for the tabs, find the one I want, and finally click on it, rather than - y'know- just mousing over there and clicking.

Is there any way to change this, such that my pinned tabs stay in the "wide" configuration, and are just "revealed" when the sidebar expands?

Thanks Lemmy folks!

 

I read a lot of articles. In the past, I've used Pocket to access articles on all my devices.

I prefer to read on my e-ink tablet, where scrolling is a pain. So I need a read-it-later app that supports page-turning, the same way an e-book does.

Pocket used to have this feature, but they killed it with their most recent update.

Wallabag has this feature, but I find the Wallabag fonts ugly and unreadable.

Omnivore does not appear to have this feature.

Does anyone use a read-it-later app that supports page-turning?

Thank you!

 

This community is great! Your memes are hilarious. I send them to my friends every day. My friends hate me. I love you though.

The volume here is way too high for me, so I had to unsubscribe. If we ever get custom feeds (so I can have a feed for News, and for Memes, etc.) then I'll be back in a heartbeat.

Thank you all for so many laughs!

 

As someone who believes whole-heartedly in evolution, there's something I've never fully understood:

When animals die, their bones decompose. If they didn't, the woods would be absolutely full of deer skeletons, and our streets and rooftops would be covered in dead birds. This makes sense, right?

So then how do we have so many dinosaur skeletons? Do dinosaur bones not decompose?

Or, conversely, if the answer is "A very small number of dinosaur bones were preserved through unique circumstances" then how were we so lucky to find so many examples from that small number? Isn't that a hell of a needle in the haystack?

And, not quite the same question, but related: Many ancient civilizations have myths about dragons, which are essentially dinosaurs (except for the fire thing). But we didn't discover dinosaur bones until the 1800s. So how is it that we imagined these creatures and then discovered they were real?

Can someone explain this to me? Thank you.

 

I've used these sites in the past to get around article paywalls, but for weeks now I haven't been able to get past the captcha. I fill it out correctly and it just reloads. Anyone else having this issue? Know a good alternative?

 

I like going to karaoke bars with my friends, but so many songs have problems:

  • They're fun for the first 2 verses and chorus, but then they keep going, or
  • They include some really long instrumental break in the middle, where I just have to kinda tap dance

What are some karaoke songs that don't have these problems? Looking for songs that are

  • short: Below 4 min if possible. Maybe even below 3?
  • no instrumental break

Thanks Lemmy!
