Hi all,

I want to start a photo community.

I'm trying to figure out the best place..

Mastadon?

Lemmy?

This will be a lot of (hopefully) high quality images. What is the best place for this?

What about pixelfed?

I'm a bit stumped!

There is no possible justification to blacking out those names. What a disgrace.

Hi all, about to install latest LMDE with Cinnamon. I like my taskbar / dock on the left, to make better use of real estate.

Mint doesn't have that option to move it to the left.

Can I ask if anyone has done this, in a good, usable way?

Thanks for your help.

Hi all,

I want to upskill my aunty. She has below average skills, and does things like send a screenshot, when I want the copy paste of the text string (not an image).

She stores files and folders in the wrong place.

Writes notes on paper, rather than copy / paste.

She wrangles spreadsheets in a very tedious manner. Rather than running formulas, or selecting and dragging a series etc.

Are there any online courses, even if paid, that are QUALITY, that can take someone up a level to be a bit more savvy?

She has an admin job, and fears for her work. So, I want to help her.

Yes, her work has said they'll pay if she finds something appropriate, but I said I'd look to help.

Any help would be great! Thank you

As per the title I am traveling full-time in my van at the moment and used to make sourdough but I'm trying to figure out the best way that I would go about it in a baby q.

I also don't want to use a heavy Dutch oven as I have weight restrictions with how much I can carry.

Any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,

I've got some more personal questions to ask, so, to avoid doxing, want another, second account. This account is pretty easy to piece together who i am. I can't have that with my planned community questions.

However, it's taken years to create my block lists.

Can they be exported and imported into another account?

Hi all,

I had this laptop (Lenovo Carbon X1 Gen 6), and when it had Debian, it would just go flat on sleep, and even when powered off. So strange. I checked all BIOS settings etc, but could never figure it out.

I moved it to Fedora, and it was perfect. Battery life was boosted like crazy, acted as it was meant to.

However, I have tomove away from Fedora, due to them dropping X11 (it's an accessibility issue I'm facing with my tools) and I forgot about said issue with Debian.

Back on Debian now, woke up, powered on laptop, which was fully charged last night, and it's flat again.

What is it, that Debian is doing differently, that is making it go flat, when powered off?

Please note, I am doing a proper shutdown. Not just closing lid, sleep, hybernate, etc.

Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

UPDATE: I booted into a fedora live disk, and shutdown. This time the battery did not go flat at all when shutdown, indicating that it is absolutely debian related, not BIOS or anything else.

All you need is some Jo Sonja acrylics. Cheap. High quality. Work perfectly.

Get base colours. Mix your own, and make some beautiful colours that nobody else has.

Save money. Win.

The industry doesn't want you to know you can just mix your colours, just like every other artist out there does.

Oh my goodness! Syncthing without Android leaves me screwed. My whole digital life revolves around it.

Blaming a privacy respecting app for a minority group is lame af. That's how we lose all personal freedoms.

Tewowists & paedophiles.

We've all moved on to Godot.

Thank the gods for Godot, because without it, everyone would have been screwed.

Valve is an online store first and foremost. Apples and oranges. The rest are playing catchup, as they've seen gabe get rich and fat, and they want in on that.

Imagine reading that headline 20 years ago.

They did the math. How much have we made in tips. Guaranteed $0.

How much have we lost. At least this person's order.

Scrap tip.

My wife is nearly home. System alerts me. I quickly tidy my day's mess. She doesn't need that after a big day.

She arrives. Gate opens for her automatically.

As she approaches the door, the light turns on for her.

Her night time play lists starts on low volume, overriding mine.

A leopard approaches the house. The house robot with bolt on subscriptions, (the expensive "hunt and defend" add on), wreaks carnage on said leopard, only to find it was a child trick or treating. Lawyers for subscription bot are arranging payment to child's family for their lost family member.

All in all, it's really useful.

And I just cancelled. Fuck them. This is 1990's pay TV repeating itself. I'm not playing that part of history again.

Remind me in 3 days. That shit should be against the law. There should be a don't bug me ever again option.

If they're public, they have huge pressure. If not, they can play their own game with a specific strategy that a shareholder might not like. So this could well be a good thing. Public trading usually leads to enshitification.

There's just no need anymore. Lemmy has boomed, and we have our own content. Reddit is not really relevant anymore.
