I got a HDD dock from startech.com. It works great and does everything I need. The problem is it has the brightest goddamn blue LED I have ever seen. It is so unnecessarily bright. My eyes hurt looking in the same direction as it. What the fuck should I do? Return it? De solder the stupid ass LED? It works great aside from this one issue.

I recently started using Tolcylen for an infection on my nails.

Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law is my personal vice

So I was watching a bit of a discussion about the situation in Argentina and if their ancap president has been successful? Mostly it was libertarians calling it a victory because it makes them look good politically. It is also a style of doing things that is making its way into the US, as DOGE was inspired by the Argentine Admin.

Hello. I can't really taste or smell anything since birth.

I work 6 days a week, 10 hours a day. My to-do list today is Yard work, cooking for the week. cleaning, washing clothes, and small jobs, it can do.

This is important in the future for me. Right now, I have a few forums which have a Spanish and Russian category and another site for my forum but in French.

I start with French bread, a stick of butter, onion and garlic powder, crushed red peepers and sharp cheddar cheese.

There's something about that sound thats so amazing to me, it makes me think of a giant using giant bottles as wind instruments or organ or somethint

I'm looking to build a small entertainment device for use in my offgrid place. I'd like to use it for reading, music and movies. I'd like for it to have low power needs. And for it to carry a varied library.

TL;DR

You go to bed tonight and a wizard comes to you in your dreams and tells you from this night on, you will be transported to 1 world from any piece of media you know, every single time you go to sleep.

I type on a keyboard with only my two middle fingers. This was likely more efficient for my tiny hands at five years old than methods urged by the typing CD-ROMs we had at that time. However as I grew more proportional to a standard keyboard, this early typing style has persisted. I have no idea where to even begin changing this now as it’s been deeply ingrained by decades of habit. Anybody have experience with changing a muscle memory based habit like this?

i wanna talk to more people who speak those languages. i know szmer has a russian community but that appears to be for articles and info.

Just thought about this question, see I haggled with a stall owner I see every time at a local comic con I go every year, lovely chap and we always have a little cheeky back and forth about certain figures or collectibles.

Anything really grinding your gears that you need to get off your chest? Lets talk about it.

Nationality/time period doesnt matter

What i mean by this is something that is too peculiar to explain.

I used to occasionally enjoy watching random videos online. But this trend of people attaching their annoying and obviously FAKE reactions on top of the video is happening a lot lately. Aren't people bothered by this ? How is that even supposed to help with the content of the video ? I understand if they own the content of the video, but lately I see a lot of people doing it on completely random content.

Hi guys ! I'm from Canada, and I need some advices on buying my first car. My budget is under 5k. What models/car brands are reliable ? Also, what do I need to verify and ask the seller ? Thanks a lot !

husband and i are both autistic, so we were always very accepting of others. we’re also both bisexual, my husband being almost exclusively gay except for when it comes to me.

It made me wonder, hearing from certain people who faced discrimination and harassment. They were hurt every single day intentionally and some of them had PTSD caused by their harm and became incredibly jumpy and traumatized.

Hello Lemmings! For the past year or so, I've been working on a solo project, and I'm kinda close to being finished with it! It's a punk rock album, made with mostly open-source tools (the only non-FOSS stuff is a couple of plugins that didn't have good open-source alternatives)!

share your hottest penny pinching tips, anticonsumerist bias, environmentally dubious upcycling, or any number of ways you get dirty looks for saving every dollar you earn.

I don't care about the kids under 30. The funnier the better, and the older you are the more I want to know: what would you like to be when you grow up? Achievable goals fall short of true potential.

I’ve done alot of mischievous and unkind things throughout my education time (k-12) I made fun of people, bullied people, stole from people/stores, hit people, kicked people, did things to annoy people, and just overall did stupid shit to cause problems all because it either felt cool or because I thought it was funny. Some of these were things I did because my friends did them, but some were just me being stupid on my own. I am now 21 and recently I have thought about all of this and feel awful about the things I’ve done because I know it has affected people. I wish I could go back and have never done any of it. Is something wrong with me? Am I a bad person?

Hello, I’m currently trying to figure out how to make an intro page for my ProBoards forum but can’t seem to figure out how to add text.

this has been on my mind a bit, especially as someone who’s faced discrimination their whole life for being autistic.

Pump-and-dump schemes, fraud, ransomware, multi-level marketing, spam, incentivizing selfishness, greed, and general unethical behaviour, buying elections, quasi Nazis creating their own coins, et cetera. In my opinion, over the years the evidence has piled up tall enough to show that crypto"currencies" are an overal detriment to society.

Everyone I know says yes.

What is your favorite way to visualize... Anything, images, files, music, games, etc?

I saw it recently where a Superhero did the old "form of _" transformation and recounted that he was the washcloth in a womans bath tyoe pervy situation

toxic masculinity, tons of people aware of the bad things but most people think its taboo for men to think about their social reformation.

What if it were 100? Or 1000? or 10000? or 100000?

It seems like it could in fact be a valid sexuality type to be attracted exclusively to sex rather than gender, but the only common term that seems to describe this sexuality is "super straight" (when referencing the heterosexual form of this, while "super gay" might be an unused but equivalent term for the homosexual form) which carries harmful connotations that aren't inherently entailed by having this sexuality type - which I agree is not a broader sexual orientation like heterosexual/homosexual/bisexual/asexual etc, but is more like a "microlabel" such as demisexual, in that it's an additional descriptor that further specifies the exact nature of someone's individual sexual preferences/orientation. However, that also doesn't mean it needs to be considered as part of the LGBTQ+ community, as it's not a marginalized sexuality or identity - in fact I'm pretty sure it's one of the most common sexuality types there are, if not the most common. Especially due to how stigmatized or misunderstood this sexuality is, or that people feel it's invalid or tied to discrimination against LGBT people somewhat inseparably, there isn't much research on it, so it's possible that people who are attracted to gender are more common than people who are attracted to sex, but it could be the opposite.

I love bad horror movies and I've noticed a common trend. They all seem to have super high pitched random background sounds that irritate the fuck out of me! Like I just got one of those Digimon 20th anniversary guys a few months ago, and just noticed after the battery died I'll be hearing it cry while watching bad horror movies. I'm an older millennial who took great care of my hearing in my younger days so tomorrow isn't an issue. But I hear these high pitched sounds that make me wonder if the battery was really dead, only to check out my digivice and find that it is still completely dead.

The older I get the more clear basically every facet of our society is to exploit us and fill us with propaganda.

I’m not talking about this from a marketing or influencer perspective—I just personally enjoy seeing post metrics like number of views, especially over time (like Reddit's 48-hour view chart).

When I'm working and have a question, I usually ask the ones I know to be knowledgeable and with ample job experience for advice, because they're the most qualified to give me the best advice.

Want to see peoples' examples of something they did gradually over time to great result, system over outcome with a still tangible result

There's a url to the site and I enjoyed it a lot as a kid. I'm looking for two people specifically. One character's name was simply "Sakura". The other's name is simply "Mundus". The name I used was "Rieve". Can anyone who can help me find Sakura or Mundus?

I get that just running straight is usually faster and he can run on water, but if he wanted to, could he leap via momentum? Has he ever used a Flash Glider?

Maybe it’s like my experience: They act quite defensive and only hang out with a few people. It seems they feel threatened by “outsiders”. Even when they’re not hurting is, we in turn feel threatened as well. Why is that?

I used to sleep with notebooks and stationary under my pillows as kid, no matter how uncomfortable it was. Me and Sister would play office and money games with paper we cut into pieces and we even made a sign for the office, i wanted to work in an office so bad it wasn't unreal

Hey all. Is there a way to browse Beehaw with a Lemmy app like Voyager or something similar?

You are presented with an opportunity to choose between two distinct options for a post-scarcity life. The parameters of each option are as follows:

i’m constantly told to give up on my goals. they’re not even unrealistic, i don’t want to be a big, giant unicorn who saves the world or something.

It is currently summer in India.

In the last 4 weeks I've worked with several people over 60 and I don't like what I saw: slow giving report or describing a problem, fixation on trivialities about a client's appearance or something funny he did instead of getting directly to the point and doing our jobs, incapable of coping with new forms of communication, feeling they are your supervisor, even though they're not, criticizing you for 'wasting' paper or erasers, telling you how they dislike other coworkers, even though I just met this person 2 hours ago, acting as if only their way of doing things is the right one, then they pretend to be your friend and ask questions about your personal life which I deflect as good as I can.

because i say either

I do

someone I’ve known for a while has been quite hostile and closed off. they will get into relationships (friendships), and act like these people are the greatest in the world to avoid abandonment.

My sister Lena’s friend regularly screamed at her, made fun of people, was ableist, etc.

Mine, oddly, is when Data is watching Picard sleep

my (18f) sister (13f) has severe ocd and depression [is seeing a professional, will take meds]. she is constantly venting to me, walking in when i’m trying to do something private, etc. when i dont respond to her text right away, she tells me i hate her and she “knows i don’t care abt her”.

*EDIT: * I was a bit frustrated while selecting language in a post and created this question quickly on the heat of the moment and didn't realize I created it in the wrong community, sorry. Thanks to the kind and helpful people that replied.

Obviously, fan fiction cannot be copyrighted or sold because it's a derivative work of licensed content. I know all of the legal bits regarding the direct profit from the work itself.

I keep noticing that if I want a smart device, they often require you to have a hub for them.

I'm gonna ask my Abuelo for a USB so I can run Etcher and Yunohost for my instance. I want to choose the name craigsworld.net (like how lemmy.world's creator chose lemmy.world). How does the site naming through Yunohost work? How much does it cost?

If so, that would be amazing. Thank you 🙏

I plan to have people type an application to register but will deny creeps and obviously bots. What would be the best questions to ask/way to tell that someone is a creep with ill intentions?

I've even heard that in some places, there is a fee for entering the city.

Wordreference is the best online dictionary out there, it's free and works very well with multiple languages. Recently I saw this post on their forum dictionary for kindle devices , and its an old post (2011).

When I search this topic online, I always find either wrong information or advertising lies. So what is actually something that LLMs can do very well, as in being actually useful and not just outputing a nonsensical word salad that sounds coherent.
