Ask

Hope a two part question is allowed but after mostly lurking a lot, I’m noticing that there do seem to be quite a lot of Xennials. But on the other hand, also plenty of rebellious youth.

I have deleted my LinkedIn Account after a long time of inactivity with occasionally logging in “connect” with somebody.

edit: the date isn’t happening anymore. he texted me asking if we could change the venue as he realized he can’t really afford that restaurant at the moment (???, why was this realization so last minute) & i told him no worries i can pay for everything. he told me no way i could ever let a girl pay, it’s not fair to the girl and also “emasculating” to him. hate that attitude. called it off and cut contact. thank u, next.

I mean in the sense that it was written for entertainment

I’m writing a revenge story. This guy or girl comes from a rich family. Their dad is a doctor and their mom is a lawyer. The kid is in their 20s and is a drug addict. Their family cut them off because of it.

It’s been a stereotype for at least the last 50 years. Why has this never changed? Why has organized labor not had a substantial effect for such an essential part of the workforce?

BACK IN MY DAY (jk my day is ongoing 😜), many popular sites were called “e/n” sites. This was like before blogs, before Google, etc. Back then, the web wasn’t very feature-rich, but it was “loud.” Contrast that with now: there are more sites than ever and wayyyyyyy more users than in the late 90s, but the www is very quiet and isolated (or isolating? I’m not sure how to phrase it).

Out of curiosity, how much YOU time do you get in a day/week? Doesn’t have to be alone time but time doing the things you want to do and not having to concern yourself with responsibilities in the moment. Do you forfeit sleep to achieve this you time? Are you a victim of revenge bedtime procrastination?

I feel like every time I try to give a rough description of some idea or concept to a search engine, the results are seldom anything more than useless/misleading. But then, when I find out there’s a technical or standard term for whatever concept I’m trying to convey, using that term drastically improves the search results (even if in the end I don’t get the answer I need). Since this is a struggle that I face pretty often, I will many times just give up on raw searching and end up describing the exact thing to some LLM, even the AI assist of whatever search engine I am using.

Just curious, as I might purchase one for health tracking.

Ubuntu 22.04, codenamed Jammy Jellyfish, was released on 21 April 2022.

I’ve noticed a pattern where once a subreddit or Lemmy community reaches a certain size, the front page becomes mostly memes, recycled jokes, and lowest common denominator content. Genuine discussion gets pushed out unless the community is extremely strictly moderated for it.

«No hablo inglés»?

Please provide more detail than “Trump is a twat” and “epstein distraction” cos that’s fucking obvious

I’d trade my car repair skill for house repair, and my musical ability for math ability. Both of those are far more useful in life. Maybe also trade my computer ability for welding or woodworking.

Im definitely on the side that over using AI and using it commercially seems to be bad. On the other hand, it seems like a tech that has huge potential upsides. I’m not sure we can achieve a post scarcity society with all labor being done by humans. This is where I see AI becoming a massive tool. Assuming we can pair it with mechanical means of work, not strictly digital. I know it’s a touchy subject but I want to hear your opinion. As always, if you’re just going to tell me to read more, recommend literature.

In Dublin there was a monument locally called “The Floozie in the Jacuzzi” ("floozie” is someone promiscuous) which apparently the artist quite liked. It got moved off the main thoroughfare at some point.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for privacy. But between setting up the birthdate when creating my children’s local account on their computers, and having to send a copy of their ID to every platform under the sun, I’d easily chose the former.

It’s been 7 days, I tried to call, contact and visit unions of the party. Some of them said that they will recontact with me in call but the most of them are closed for sure. It’s unbelievable to find one open union. After endless efforts with my organization pursue, I guess they don’t really care about that.

I’m a regular guy, I’m about 23 years old, I work at a job with a flexible schedule, the job is more or less acceptable, although sometimes it’s very annoying because of the extra repairs. Lately, I’ve been really wanting to go to festivals with cosplayers and stuff, but time is tight, and because of AI and data centers, there is even less time than there could be. And I never even went on a date, I constantly postponed everything for later, and now it seems to me that everything is lost.

i think it is in black and white and 2 female singers as rivals something like “Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better)”. I think i saw it on youtube

I take a 2 hour commute to school every day. My Stanley thermos, which was gifted to me by my very consumerist aunt, doesn’t keep my moka pot coffee hot for 2 hours.

I experience Lemmy as a reflection of many of the problems in the world; there seems to be little effort to understand and respect different viewpoints. Instead of being curious about opinions one disagrees with, the community often feels almost aggressive. People end up in their own trenches. What about trying to be more open and curious about our differences instead?

Maybe I’m just too picky, but if the actor isn’t “my type” or I’m not attracted to him, I won’t enjoy the video. I have favorite actors (Jmac, Tommy Pistol, Ken Matsumoto, Charles Dera, Tyler Nixon, etc.), and a lot of the time I specifically look for videos with them instead of something new or random.

The used market is more interesting so I haunt estate auctions. I would like to make a paper holder for a specific space so I’m casually looking for a handful of marbles to sandwich between some pieces of hardwood to make it so.

I’m not asking about the ethics of lying, or whether lawyers may be justified in lying. That is beside the point. I am just asking: hypothetically, would it be possible for a lawyer to have a successful career while never uttering so much as a white lie?

Not for watching, for posting content (so Nebula is out with their super secret handshake entry standard).

Am I the only one that thinks it’s strange that the US hasn’t attacked Mojtaba Khamenei? I thought that they were threatening to remove any leader previously associated with the regime.

Toki pona. End of discussion.

I feel like bears is the most obvious answer. In this scenario it would have started thousands of years ago. We’d have dozens/hundreds of breeds with different shapes,sizes and characteristics. What do you think would be the most interesting/cool?

I’m Ghoulia (obviously; sensitive nerds who understand the importance of a good head, in more ways than one). But do feel like I have a Cleo rising cuz I am a bit of a demon twink (I’m working on it, and by that I mean that I’m trying to become a twunk so that I can be worse). What about you guys?

I had to update my address on my driver’s license and they needed a couple pieces of mail with my new address and name on it to verify but I hadn’t gotten any mail at the new place yet.

Last night I had a hookup for the first time. I told the guy I wanted him to use a condom, which offended him because he was like, “Why do I need to use one if you already have an IUD? Do you think I’m some STD-ridden guy?” I told him I just don’t know him that well. Either way it was fine in the end, he put it on and it was a fine night. Now I’m thinking, was I being a pushover?

Since Diaper Donnie is soon going to be rubbing his hands in glee to send Americans now into his meat grinder over wars he starts, how do you plan to avoid the draft?

If you’re already with Linux, this is not for you. This is for people who’re indecisive or been contemplating for long about whether to make that jump.

Has there been any successful Brands / Business' that have moved or grow on the Fediverse?Hello Fedi,I'm looking to see if there has been successful integrations of small business', brands or other non individuals here on the Fediverse.Share with me your favorite brands, business' and more here on the Fediverse.@asklemmy@lemmy.world#Fediverse #Business #Company #SmallBusiness #Brands #AskFedi #AskFediverse #AskMastodon

Like I kept seeing bets raising on when will USA strike Iran and till 2 days before the strike most of the money was betting on 15 March for the first strike.

It would be fun to think about this from a cybersecurity or system management perspective. The goal is to find things within the action range of humanity that would at least cause a minor annoyance.

Hypothetically speaking, how much would have to post/comment to be in the top 10/1/0.1 percent of posters/commenters on lemmy.world/Lemmy overall?

I don’t have a single favorite, but every now and then a critter will become the subject of my latest ADHD hyperfixation. I remember thinking skunks were cool in 5th grade. They’re like badgers with chemical weapons. For the months leading up to getting my first guide dog I devoured stuff about dogs in general. I had always had pet dogs so it wasn’t a new subject, just a more intense interest.

Surely it’s a misunderstanding and it has nothing to do with his politics? He’s MAGA in case anyone was wondering, a huge Trump defender. Anyway, whenever I tell Grandpa (who I live with) that I want to see the world or go to Germany or Norway on a school trip, or see Norway when I get older with my dad perhaps, he says “Why can’t you just stay here?” or “Why can’t you visit this country first?”

To me, it feels like a further step in advancing human civilization. Disperse the population a bit and keep growing as a species. That said, I’m no expert and if you have literature to recommend please do!

I have always wondered why I was taught in school for so long and it turns out that apparently lots of other people were taught this too.

Carmen Espinosa - True to her name, she can be a bit “thorny”. She is a 17-year-old girl, later 18, in her senior year with an abrasive personality. She has a habit of calling people younger than her “kid”. Since she was born on May 2nd, she is one of the younger seniors in her year. While she is a genuinely kind person, she also has anger issues and deep-rooted self-hatred as well as an annoyance towards children due to having to babysit a bratty 8-year-old boy at the age of 15. Due to her annoyance and self-hatred, she takes her anger out on people under the age of 13 and has even been shown bullying them. Despite this, she genuinely does not want to see another kid injured or in danger and says she “hates” it. She is pretty affectionate with her fellow peers, such as jumping up and down and hugging people like Austin and Mika.

The XE75 has 3 access points, but the features are lacking and I feel like the lack of speed on firmware updates is slow and concerning. I’m looking at the GL.iNet GL-MT6000 (Flint 2), and it’s $136. Can anyone with more tech experience comment or give their thoughts/suggestions about this? TIA!

I’ve made accounts on servers running these different software and the user experience feels similar between them. They’re all FOSS Reddits. I can log into servers running all of em via the same Interstellar app on Android and see the same communities

it can be books,video games,Movies,TV Shows, etc(though i will be focusing mainly on Video Games) i wanted to ask long running/active since it would be more interesting. i would love to hear your answers!

It’s the English name I recently chose because people kept having difficulty pronouncing my Chinese name after I arrived in England last year. I really like it, but I’d be interested to hear how it comes across to others, especially Anglophones.

I haven’t known what movies to watch lately. Does everyone have their own treasure movies that they’ve seen many times? 😀

I don’t really care about Star Wars

I find it to be the most unbiased source and it respects religion too.

After researching flights, accommodations, visas, transport options inside the country, activities, etc., basically everything, I came to the conclusion that it’s too overwhelming for me. I’m taking a retired family friend with me, as he’s not bound by any schedule, so I don’t have to compromise on the length of the trip. Plus, he can drive, so we can rent a car and make the trip smoother. I’ve decided on Vietnam, by the way.

Well, it’s a Lenovo Ideapad S145 with an Intel Celeron and 4GB of RAM. I’m writing this on it. I want it to be slightly faster at browsing the internet. I use Chrome, I know that’s awful xD

My gf got tickets to a Tennessee Williams play that I’m not familiar with. I’m wondering if I would appreciate it more knowing the source material.

I don’t use drugs nor alcohol, but I just turned 18 and I noticed that a lot of people younger than me (high school age so 14-17 even) use alcohol and sometimes drugs from siblings, older friends, etc.

At work when management said due to iranian drone strikes and sirens we are supposed to go to bomb shelter rather than straight home, in the beginning of this conflict they said we are allowed to work from home later they said work from home is no longer allowed , when i said to my dad it’s unfair that we are not allowed to go home, he said

Once I had an acquaintance with whom we communicated on the Internet for several months, he fell in love with a girl who cosplayed a character from one of his favorite series, well, he admitted to me that he had been following her for about a year and dreamed of talking to her on the Internet, because he felt that he was in love, and then asked if he should try? I said I should at least try, but my advice broke his heart, she rejected him and called him a freak, then he got drunk and we didn’t discuss it anymore.
