dap@lemmy.onlylans.ioto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Have you ever had an illness that most people don't understand?English2·2 years agoI think this may more for acute vertigo, but have you tried the Epley maneuver?
This appears to be a variation of the “standwich.” Please see the attached for an example.
dap@lemmy.onlylans.ioto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What was the worst bastardization of a classic book into a movie?English1·2 years agoI loved that book growing up and was so excited when the movie was coming out (on my birthday!)
To this day, that movie is the only one I legitimately walked out of. It was such a terrible adaptation.
dap@lemmy.onlylans.ioto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•As badly described as possible, what is your favorite video game?English6·2 years agoOSRS?
dap@lemmy.onlylans.ioto Technology@beehaw.org•YouTube will now show a blank homepage if you don’t have watch history onEnglish2·2 years agoGood bot
dap@lemmy.onlylans.ioto Technology@beehaw.org•YouTube will now show a blank homepage if you don’t have watch history onEnglish15·2 years agoI don’t know how I feel about this personally. On the one hand, I feel like this is a privacy win for those who want it: no watch history means no algorithmic recommendations and (presumably) less data collection for those users. On the other hand, I personally really enjoy the recommendations that YouTube makes for me. Maybe it is the wide variety of content that I watch, but I’m honestly very pleased with the recommendations that YouTube provides. That being said, I feel like the opt-in to algorithmic recommendations is a good thing overall, however I am personally going to leave my watch history enabled.
dap@lemmy.onlylans.ioto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Post that get the most engagement in communities you are apart of.English2·2 years agoI want to try and create discussion about videos that may be less main stream. Video (specifically medium- to long-form) is my preferred type of content to consume, however I don’t have the ability to create my own content. !Videos@lemmy.world is great but as @kersploosh@sh.itjust.works mentioned below:
Posts that invite comments tend to get comments.
!Videos@lemmy.world doesn’t directly ask for discussion on the videos posted. I created a community, !whatareyouwatching@lemmy.onlylans.io, to try to bridge this gap. The idea is that you find an interesting video, you watch it, and then you post it with your main take-away or a question you had to try and foster a discussion.
Not sure if it is working, but that’s my own methodology to trying to increase engagement with content that I don’t personally produce.
Also, I am running a small self-hosted instance for friends, so my name may not be as “out there” as the larger instances, but I’m pretty sure that anyone can post to this community.
dap@lemmy.onlylans.ioto Open Source@lemmy.ml•What FOSS projects in need torrenting?English12·2 years agoBack when COVID was in its prime, I was contributing CPU/GPU cycles to Folding@Home for protein folding simulations and working on a vaccine. Since then, I’ve reimaged my desktop twice. I should probably reinstall the BOINC client to contribute again…
Thanks for the info. That seems quite heavy handed.
I’m out of the loop, what is France trying to do with regard to DNS?
dap@lemmy.onlylans.ioto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Does anyone actually make money from stuff like this?13·2 years agoThis video is a must watch for explaining the fundamental problems of crypto/NFTs.
Warning: it long, like feature movie long, but really informative.
dap@lemmy.onlylans.ioto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Does anyone actually make money from stuff like this?3·2 years agoYeah, the whole article feels like it is both pandering and condescending at the same time. No thanks lol.
dap@lemmy.onlylans.ioto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Does anyone actually make money from stuff like this?7·2 years agoThis article is so cringey.
dap@lemmy.onlylans.ioto Technology@beehaw.org•Fibre optics could be the answer to water loss from leaky pipes: 48.6 billion cubic meters of water are lost globally dailyEnglish7·2 years agoHere’s the link to the study: https://doi.org/10.3390/s23136205
dap@lemmy.onlylans.ioto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you could satisfy your daily nutrition and caloric needs with one food in particular, what food would you happily eat for the rest of your life?English01·2 years agoFajitas or Mexican food in general. So flavorful and just hits a certain way.
dap@lemmy.onlylans.ioto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is anybody else more active here then they were on Reddit?3·2 years agoAbsolutely. As much as I loved Reddit, I always felt drowned out due to the large user base and was hesitant to share my opinion. Thanks to Lemmy and its (currently) smaller communities, I feel like my voice has wider reach or, at the very least, less aggressive competition.
dap@lemmy.onlylans.ioto Memes@lemmy.ml•Four apps and counting, how is everyone else doing?10·2 years agoI’ve used the PWA, Jerboa, Liftoff, and Connect.
Jerboa is probably my favorite of the bunch. I prefer how compact everything is and the 0.0.33 version was working well. I upgraded to 0.0.36 and performance took a bit of a hit so I figured I would explore alternatives. Also when I looked at other options 2FA support had not been added (it’s working as of this post)
The PWA is more than functional,and I like it quite a bit. Don’t like that backing out of a post navigates to the top of the page though.
Connect is good too, just personally not a fan of the larger interface, even in list/compact mode.
Currently using liftoff. Performance is good, 2FA support is available, and in list/compact mode it’s tolerable. I still do prefer the compactness of Jerboa though.
dap@lemmy.onlylans.ioto Technology@beehaw.org•Maybe a controversial opinion, but Lemmy is pretty great as a PWAEnglish3·2 years agoI’m posting currently from the PWA after I enabled 2FA on my account (not currently working with Jerboa). It’s nice and works well, but I prefer the more compact list view present in Jerboa. Other than that, no complaints!
The Downtime Project is a pretty interesting podcast that covers some large outages and discusses their post-mortem analysises. Worth a listen IMO, very interesting stuff and some good lessons to learn.
