We have a new banner! Let me know what you think. It was created by ChatGPT.

If you have a better one though, I can change it.

Let's get this community more active bros.

Ooohhh, this is huge! And also an upgraded Kobo Clara (in black and white)!

BW e-readers are sufficient for reading but colors are awesome for image content in books, such as graphics and maps and whatnot. Hopefully some reviews show up soon.

The comments on this post are entirelly missing the point. Jesus christ lemmy. Yes, we know you like 3.5 mm jacks. That is not the point. The point is that FairPhone launched earphones with ANC with replaceable batteries. This is good!

Kindness is one for me. A person who is kind immediately has my attention.

Nowadays, we have pretty strong medications to avoid becoming HIV+. It is called PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis)..

Get on it.

I want to follow some people on tiktok, for the content they put out. I am, however, a somewhat privacy-minded person. Any suggestion on how to make TikTok less privacy-invasive? Some DNS app?

I am on Android, not rooted.

This is not exactly a new community, but it is one I created a few months ago and it is currently dead. Hopefully you guys help me with that:

This is a community for frisson inducing content.

What is frisson?

Frisson is a phenomenon that causes a sensation of chills or tingling on the skin of the lower back, shoulders, neck, and/or arms. It can be triggered by experiences with music, poetry, videos, beauty in nature or art, eloquent speeches, and the practice of science.

You can report bugs. But honestly, the best thing you can do is to use and drive attention to lemmy. Post things, comment, drive engagement. If more people use lemmy, the more successful Boost For Lemmy will be.

I have replied to someone else further down with my opinion on this topic. I think it also fits in a reply to you, so I will just copy paste it here:

Yes, it might sound worrisome, but I dont think you are pushing authoritarian ideology by using Lemmy. The code itself is fine. The code is not authoritarian. The server which hosts your account is also not authoritarian.

Lemmy is, right now, the best alternative for a reddit-like platform. It is something created for the users, by the users. By using lemmy, you are not enriching the wallets of the shareholders. By using something like reddit, you provide content and a select few get to buy a new yacht.

Also, plenty of people are contributing code to lemmy. It is no longer just these 2. The code is also Open-Source. Anyone can fork it and create a new version of lemmy, with compatibility with the current version of lemmy. By using lemmy, you are allowing the possibility that, at any time in the future, someone else comes and says “I have some ideas to improve lemmy, let’s do this on my own terms”, forks it and continues the work without massively spliting the community.

I think this is bad for Lemmy as a whole, as a community but only due to misunderstanding and generalizations... People are going to equate the "censorship" on the server lemmy.ml as censorship on Lemmy, the platform/software. That is just NOT THE CASE. Please, whenever someone mentions lemmy.ml and its censorship or the likes, be fast to mention that that is a specific lemmy server and the beauty of lemmy is its decentralization and the fact that it is open source. There are plenty of other servers.

I fear that this kind of thing drives people away from Lemmy, when it should not.

For all scientists in the lemmyverse, I want you to know there is a lemmy instance dedicated to nature and science: mander.xyz.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I dont like the wasted vertical space at the top. Regardless, I think it does indeed look better overall, specially the visibility of the cards. Have you thought of doing a PR for this in lemmy-ui?

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

That mstdn.social and the whole "lemmy = tankie" (whatever the fuck that means) is doing a disservice to the whole unreddit movement. I have seen plenty of discussion on reddit now of people not leaving because of these posts..
