Welcome to lemm.ee!
Welcome!...
Hello, do you have any recommended openings (W or B) for a 1300ish elo player?
I’m a little over 1300 elo, and I feel it’s time to start really getting down and dirty and learning openings. I know a little bit about Scandinavian, very little about French and I’ve recently got interested in Ruy Lopez but I wanted to get the opinion of you guys to see where the next step in my chess journey should be?
Hi! Do any of you have any art of what your MC looks like? (lemm.ee)
Here’s mine. He’s a vigilante hacker in my future L.A. universe. I think this couldn’t describe how he looks in my head better. What does your character look like?
General Megathread for Elon Musk Nonsense and Twitter News
Hey folks -...
I just deleted my reddit account, and it's long overdue.
I should’ve deleted my account when I switched to lemm.ee to begin with. I’m glad it’s over and I hope you’re all enjoying this site more! I feel relief. Wanted to see how others are adapting to being on lemm.ee instead of reddit?
Where do I start reading Iron Man?
I’ve been a comic reader on and off over the years but I wanted to really sink my teeth into it lately. I’ve read a few of the more popular stories. Most notably, Extremis, Hyper Velocity, and The End. What stories do you recommend to get into Iron Man more?
Downsides to chatgpt?
It just feels too good to be true....
Need help coming up with some hacker style stunts and aspects for my character. (Very new to Fate Core)
I'm about to be in a near future hacker campaign in a watchdogs style Fate Core setting. I'm playing Robert Conrad, or known by my handle as DirtyOlHobo. I'm the closest thing to a grifter we have in the Binary Syndicate....
What FOSS browsers, do you use on a daily basis on both your mobile and computer for privacy and security, and what measures have you taken to further harden your browser (if any).
Me, I have a low threat model so I mainly try to stay away from proprietary stuff when possible (Chrome, Edge ect) I use an eclectic mix of browsers....
Calling all refugees! *Reddugees?* What has your experience been since migrating from Reddit to Lemmy?
I've had a great time here. The people on the various communities I've joined are very nice and actually constructive! I haven't encountered any rude or sarcastic responses or one word answers....
What are you're favorite FOSS games to play and why?
I love Endless Sky, it's honestly one of my favorite games! I have a pack of cool SciFi art that I found on Nexus and I've been slowly replacing the stock photos for my personal game. I'm also a sucker for TeeWorlds, it is delightfully infuriating and hillarious to play. I know that's baby's first FOSS games but I'm new to open...
With all of the instances having different URL's, what's the best way to "google" a question and get Lemmy instance answers?
For example, I could search "best blender reddit" and browse tons of threads and gather advice. Is there an equivalent we can do in the future with Lemmy/Kbin?
What do you recommend as a good FOSS private and secure chat app on Android that isn't Signal?
I have nothing against Signal. I just don't have access to a phone number right now. I fully intend to use the Signal when I get a number. I know there is no silver bullet, no absolutes in the privacy world but I'm looking for any messengers that are generally considered to be private and secure on Android that I can try to...
Does anyone think that the Fediverse would make a much better next phase for the web then all of this Metaverse bull?
I'd much rather see sites like Lemmy, PeerTube, and Mastodon see widespread adoption then the dystopian cyberpunk fever dream in the head of Zuckerburg. Did you not read the novel dude? It's a freaking warning! That's like Jeff Bezos reading Fahrenheit 451 and going "holy crap dude, gotta make that a reality like, yesterday!" I...
Rumors of a secret meeting under NDA between big Fediverse instance admins and Meta
Apparently there was a secret meeting between admins of big Fedi instances and Meta, closed under an NDA, and of course they're not saying anything....
What are some must have web extensions or TamperMonkey scripts for Fediverse social medias (like Mastodon, Lemmy, Kbin ect ect).
Right now I'm using the Lemmy Modern UI extension from the Firefox WebStore. What are some others I should get as well?
Smart-homes: The future, or harmful? (beehaw.org)
What do you guys think of the idea of smart homes? I could make a basic setup using https://home-assistant.io to control my home temperature and lighting; the tools for doing this are everywhere nowadays and implementation doesn't seem too horrific anymore....
(Crosspost from /c/ttrpgs) I’m thinking of making a Blades in the Dark community. Would anybody be into to that?
I don’t really know where to begin with moderation and I have limited access to the internet with my current living situation. If anyone has any suggestions on if this is a good idea or if any of you would be interested in joining such a group I’d love to hear from you, thanks! :)
