I mean, I like Firefox, but I’d love to see Vivaldi based on Firefox/Gecko. There’s Floorp, which is similar in some ways but it’s more like an Edge built on Firefox than Vivaldi....
What are some good alternatives? I really, really like cheese stuffed crust, but if I can get it without apparently supporting Nestlé, that’d be even better.
The most useful course I took in college was one on how to properly write documentation, although at the time I didn’t really appreciate it as much as I do now. As far as the IT knowledge I gained, most of it was pretty obsolete even at the time so it’s been less useful. I learned more in my first month working than I ever did in 4 years of college.
It’s definitely not a new phenomenon, but exacerbated by the media and COVID-19 just seemed to bring out the very worst in the worst people. Witnessed selfish brats in society my whole life, and I wish I could say it’s improved but it hasn’t. People forget we live in a society and should work together.
Reddit was big before the Digg migration and got bigger still. It didn’t happen overnight, it took many years. Reddit also benefited from celebrities and other influencers using it to become the default site for this type of content. Lemmy’s problem is there’s no void to fill, Reddit took a hit from the API fiasco but it’s still going strong because 99% of the users didn’t care, or returned soon after. Every subreddit I was in that chose to close down has returned to normal operation, and it’s not even 2 months later.
I like Lemmy, I’m going to keep coming here to see how it grows. Right now, it’s not even close to being a Reddit alternative. It’s barely hanging on, but I wish it the best.
The 3 that come to mind for me are Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The Princess Bride. All three are poking fun at their respective genres but also are great examples of the genre. I’m curious if Lemmy has other such examples.
No, it’s like a love note to TOS. All of the Treks that followed were a bit more serious in tone, which is fine and dandy, but The Orville captures the spirit of the original series very well. Strange New Worlds is somewhat similar to the original series in tone, but doesn’t have that 60s campy feel.
I’ve always read them in published order personally, books tend to reference earlier novels in the series and a lot of little in jokes appear as the series progresses.
The first 2 novels have a slightly different “feel” to the others, then he settles into a style that continues to the end.

XFS, the default filesystem in Red Hat, is older than NTFS. Released 1994.
I’ll say this, the previous admin of one of the Linux servers I support set up RAID-0 striping for the main data slice (must have been dropped on their head as a child or something). Two drives, and one of the drives developed bad sectors, but I was still able to recover 95% of the data before it shit the bed completely. So, XFS is apparently quite resilient, or I got lucky.
I’m not, but I have family who are. Wheelchair on grass is hard going, even if it’s very flat and well maintained. I wouldn’t want to do it except over very short distances. If you have to, turn the wheelchair user around and go backwards, but I always feel that is even more embarrassing for them.
You know those sci-fi teleporters like in Star Trek where you disappear from one location then instantaneously reappear in another location? Do you trust that they are safe to use?...
Was there even a mass exodus? I largely avoid Reddit now, but I do kind of doubt that they’ve been hurt in any meaningful way by all the protests and people leaving…
Some of the larger subreddits shut down or turned into a John Oliver meme, one niche one I enjoyed is gone, the rest seem to be back to business as usual. At the moment? I’d say not much has changed.
Who cares, though? This isn’t reddit, let’s stop focusing on that and focus on Lemmy.
I know it’s obvious from the picture, but I never realized DeLoreans were stainless steel, which is very rare for vehicles made in the past half-century. DMC DeLorean Wikipedia here...
CloneZilla. Command line scary? RescueZilla. Both free, easy to use, and I use them in an enterprise business and have for many years if you want some proof they’re safe and reliable.
Quick note: If it’s your OS drive: Clone it. Shut down. Disconnect source drive before turning back on or you’ll have boot issues and be scratching your head why.
Hi guys, I failed my automatic driving test today and my parents told me to just bribe?? Is this actually a thing here?? What do I even say?? Who do I talk to?? I signed up to safety driving school who seem legit so would they even take it?? Someone plz help.
I don't want something I have to deal with some software like iTunes for and would rather plug in the device into any computer and move files and have the player automatically recognize it....
Encryption has been around since Roman times, and probably long before that. Even if not, bear in mind most military leaders then had people from their own lands in their ranks so it would be easy to find a trusted person to deliver the message.
For me it was Jeff Kinney. I was meeting a different author I love, but there wasn’t enough room downstairs and we had to go up. Turns out that’s exactly where Jeff Kinney works! He’s the author who got me into reading so I thought that was so cool
Why do most browser companies opt for a Chromium/Blink base instead of a Firefox/Gecko one?

Good alternative to DiGiorno stuffed crust pizza?

Has the material you learned in college (or grad/phd) been useful in your career?
If you feel comfortable please elaborate on your answer. Thanks!

Do you ever despair at the apparent lack of regard for the "social contract" by so many?
In this case, I’m referring to the notion that we all make minor sacrifices in our daily interactions in service of a “greater good” for everyone....
How exactly did Reddit become a top website and what does Lemmy need to do to eventually get there?
Did Reddit get massive because of Digg users making a beeline towards them or were they already big before that?
What movies, books or tv shows are meant to spoof/parody a particular genre while actually being a great example of the genre?
The 3 that come to mind for me are Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The Princess Bride. All three are poking fun at their respective genres but also are great examples of the genre. I’m curious if Lemmy has other such examples.
NTFS turns 30 years old today! I hear it's still in use by some crufty old legacy operating systems 😁 (en.wikipedia.org)

Wheelchair users
Hello, I just had an accessibility question for the wheelchair using folks. Is going on well maintained grass fine? Or is it a bit problematic?
Instead of "X", how about we all call it "the website formerly known as Twitter" from now on?
Worked great when the artist formerly known as Prince changed his name to a symbol.
Would you use teleporter technology if it existed? Why or Why not?

Is there any evidence that Reddit has suffered at all from the exodus to Lemmy?
Was there even a mass exodus? I largely avoid Reddit now, but I do kind of doubt that they’ve been hurt in any meaningful way by all the protests and people leaving…
TIL the DMC DeLorean, among many strange production choices, was made of stainless steel (lemmy.world)

What is a good old school mp3/flac player I can simply drag and drop files into and be on my way?

how did military commanders in olden times send instructions across hundreds of miles without concern of forgery or interception?
Let me know if there is a better community for this type of question. I am still learning my way around.
Who is the most famous person you've ever met?
For me it was Jeff Kinney. I was meeting a different author I love, but there wasn’t enough room downstairs and we had to go up. Turns out that’s exactly where Jeff Kinney works! He’s the author who got me into reading so I thought that was so cool
