...Is there a different series that happens to share the same name, or did you really mean a hentai?

Go to the giant pizza rink, watch in amazement at the pros slicing it up and flinging slices off to people in the sidelines

If I understand @xmunk@sh.itjust.works's comment elsewhere in this thread properly, I think that's what a pause interrogative may be. I also agree with them that it (and the interrogative start) does better fit some ways of speaking.

What free offline, local desktop software do you like and would recommend? in c/ask@lemm.ee

A couple I like to use occasionally are LibreOffice Draw and Freeplane. Draw is for diagramming and technical drawing, and Freeplane is for mind-mapping (which is sort of another way to say diagramming).

Despite having used LibreOffice's other software for awhile, I had completely overlooked Draw, which is why I ended up finding Freeplane. Both are great open source programs for sorting out information, diagramming and outlining ideas with a more free form visual arrangement.

What are some old freeware PC games you've kept playing over the years? in c/retrogaming@lemmy.world
[–] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 24 points 4 months ago

Older? Check.
Free? Check.
Software/game? Check.

Checks out in my book!

Appreciate the reply and link regardless! It's always whack-an-ad with these intrusive jerks.

Would you happen to know of any guides or have advice on identifying the adservers to block?

Original clunky title: How do ActivityPub instances' people initially find remote instances' people/communities/channels/etc. to vary their feeds?

Given that an instance won't see remote instance's people and stuff to follow/subscribe to until someone there has found them and followed/subscribed...That's generally how ActivityPub works, isn't it?

How do you voice chat without bothering roommates? (lemm.ee)
 

I know using a headset helps, but you're still talking, so...Do you adjust the mic settings to pick up even as you speak quieter, or...?

How do you check to ensure you're still audible enough to those on the other end if you do that?

Also this isn't a shared room situation, so that helps, but I want to be sure I'm not being too loud.

Thanks for any advice!

How do offline, local groups get started and reach others now? (lemm.ee)
 

For any range of topics, lighthearted to serious, hobbies and games to helping and engaging with community matters. Regarding reach, I mean what ways may be used alongside word of mouth, as I honestly don't hear people talk about groups they're in (besides sports/bands) all that much.
