AT Protocol and Activitypub interconnectivity
  • That's interesting, I hadn't heard of either before. Thanks!

  • AT Protocol and Activitypub interconnectivity

    Will a service built on activitypub be able to view posts made using the AT Protocol by default and vice versa? Or will that functionality have to be developed?

    New Icons for a few Lemmy Communities on FOSSware
  • The hats are great! The idea of a uniform base icon with different hats based on the community really appeals to me!

  • What does the "Files linked to the current activity" setting mean in the Location tab of Destkop Folder Settings?
  • My best guess is that the file explorer will show the location of files related to the activity rather than the home directory

  • What are the reasons to think we are living in a simulation?
  • Every time I need to cross a seemingly empty street, suddenly cars appear. I can't help but imagine it's a render distance issue.

  • I don’t understand people who say they can’t figure out Lemmy or KBin
  • I see, thank you! This makes the choice of instance when signing up more significant than I thought.

  • Would this make long form writing on a smartphone enjoyable?
  • I've done so and I think my point still stands in terms of the size of the keys. I do agree that having the text show in the middle instead of a blank space for the keyboard is much better than having the text stretched out on the top half of the screen. I personally have not done much if any typing on a split keyboard like that, so I don't know how comfortable it would be, but I do like your idea of having a touch pad included.

  • I don’t understand people who say they can’t figure out Lemmy or KBin
  • I think I understand the terms you have explained, but I am still a little confused on viewing by "all", when I view "all" am I seeing posts from every instance that is federated with the one I'm on or only the communities/magazines that users on my instance have visited before?

  • ELI5: If you're a Christian, why do you have to be good if Jesus will forgive you no matter what?
  • Thanks for providing more context. The verse does take on a more encouraging tone with it and puts it inline with the other teachings of personally not wanting to sin as a result of a new relationship with God.

    I was not aware of the debate surrounding this verse, I just thought it was the most straightforward in addressing the question.

  • ELI5: If you're a Christian, why do you have to be good if Jesus will forgive you no matter what?
  • For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries - Hebrews 10:26-27

  • Would this make long form writing on a smartphone enjoyable?
  • Given that most smartphones are not more than twice as tall as they are wide, wouldn't having it in the layout you describe leave the same amount of horizontal screen space for the keyboard anyway?

  • Music Recommadations?
  • I've heard of people using a combination of a scrobbler and listenbrainz to combine listening history and get new recommendations

  • Server Maintenance and Upgrade finished (Lemmy 0.18.0)
  • Thanks for putting in all this effort to keep the instance up and running!

  • Bard doesn't need a reason
  • This was the closest riddle I could find

    I am the sound of silence, I am the bringing of doom, too much of me and you’ll be swept away, swept away like a great broom, the cold is my place of living, and the heat is taken away, taken away by my magnificence, I live in both night or day, I am unseen but very much alive. Who am I?

    The answer is the wind

  • Opinion: Sync shouldn't be open source
  • The project owner in open source projects still ultimately get to decide if and when any changes are accepted and implemented, so they would still retain creative control.

  • Futurama writer created mathematical theorem for the show
  • The episode is based on a body swap scenario in which no pair of bodies can swap minds more than once. The proof demonstrates that after any sequence of mind switches, each mind can be returned to its original body by using two additional individuals who have not yet swapped minds with anyone.

  • I have no idea what I'm doing, help!
  • I'd say you can get acquainted simply by using it and learning as you do so. I'd recommend either Ubuntu or Manjaro as these are the two that I've used for more than a few hours and are straightforward to install and use. Both Ubuntu and Manjaro have instructions for installation on their websites on creating a bootable USB for installation, the installation wizard will walk you through the process and give you the option of installing it in a separate partition. It is also possible to just run the os from the thumb drive itself to get a feel of it before you install.

    It's perfectly possible, getting certain games to run might be challenging but for the most part of surfing the web, answering emails, creating documents/spreadsheets/slides I almost don't notice the difference
