Why isn't Mbin more popular? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
[–] classic@fedia.io 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I'm on mbin, after kbin. It's clunky but passable. I wish they'd get rid of some of the aternative jargon (thread vs post vs magazine) among other changes

Why don't we have a rolling count? in c/political_weirdos@lemmy.world

In all fairness, I would be curious for an equivalent list for democrats. Hopefully to underscore the discrepancy

There's that echo chamber at play

What do you use to make your home smell good? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] classic@fedia.io 7 points 3 days ago

I don't remember the recipe, but they put something plus cinnamon in the oven at a low temperature with the door slightly ajar.

I think it might be citrus rinds

Yes it is. Because immediately you are faced with having to pick a server. And then grasp and navigate the fediverse, which depending on the use case is not as straightforward. There's generally more hoops to make things happen. Depending on the server you pick, the UI is not all that intuitive. And then you have things like mbin forks which swap terminology.

Pink poops seals the deal!

Have you ever had fruitful discussions cut short because OP deleted the post? If so, is this a fundamental problem or just an annoyance? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] classic@fedia.io 1 points 5 days ago

I can see that. Depends on what was shared. Maybe if both options were available. Or an OP can edit the post and redact personally identifiable elements?

Part of the problem would be others not knowing if or when a post might be deleted. There might something to the idea mentioned elsewhere of being able to 'disown' a post, so that it's no longer associated with you? (If that's possible)

Nice, thank you! Didn't even think about extract form. I did read somewhere yesterday that cooking would affect nitrate content - with high heat or longer cooking having the most impact. I'll look into extracts as well as playing with making beet juice, which I used to like anyhow

Are people in this community taking screenshots or pulling actual frames from the movie file?

Especially beyond the local level

Do you wish a Happy Mother's Day to your friends who are mothers or just to those in your own family? (fedia.io)
 

And what's a good friendly message or meme to send just to say I think they're great at being mothers?

I'm looking to buy something like a reverse wheelbarrow, what do I call that? (fedia.io)
 

I'm looking to cart products around to sell on foot.

Basically I want a box on wheels with bars in the front that I can lift and then walk forward. Similar to the idea of a rickshaw, but instead of seats for people, a container that can hold ~200lbs of weight. Or the type of thing you'd connect to a bike, except I want to just pull it on foot. The added element is that I want to be collapsible or able to be dismantled when not in use. Surely this must exist but I have no idea what term to use to search for it.

"Rickshaw" mainly brings results related to pedicabs. The closest I got was "utility cart" like this for example. But the problem with these, unlike a rickshaw style design, is they don't scale well with the addition of weight where two wheels is easier than 4, depending on the surface. Also, versions that can be taken apart of collapses aren't rugged enough.

I've used a hand truck put into the flat configuration in the past. But that lacks the box component to contain the products. I can stack boxes on it, but that gets unstable. And, again, the 4 wheel flat design doesn't scale well with weight compared to the rickshaw concept.

So, yeah: what do you call that?

Just played Area 51/Maximum Force at a retro-arcade. Are light gun shooter games still a thing? Any recent versions available for PC? (fedia.io)
 

And, if they are, any recommendations for a gun controller?

If you donate to a service, do you so anonymously? (fedia.io)
 

Like if you want to donate to a website that maintains trackers, or files, do you take steps to make it anon, or just use paypal or whatever? If you do, how do you go about doing that?

There should be a term for people who never really returned from the pandemic's social isolation (fedia.io)
 

People who haven't really resumed socializing at levels they used to, people who lost the capacity to regulate during interpersonal interactions, people who lost trust in others... I encounter lots of partial returners out there

Is there a way to crop the field of vision / frame of the webcam? (fedia.io)
 

I'm on a Legion Lenovo Slim 5. The webcam shows too much area around me during video calls (the browser based teleconferencing tool that I use doesn't have settings to adjust this).

I tried the cameractrls app, but it doesn't offer any way to crop or zoom in. Any other suggestions?

Is there an e-reader that would allow you to edit an .epub file? (fedia.io)
 

Beyond just marking up an e-book, are there any devices that would also allow you to edit the file itself?
