I like to ask a variety of questions, sometimes silly, serious, and/or strange. Never asking in an attempt to pester or “just asking questions” stuff.

Will I migrate from Lemm.ee to elsewhere? I don't know yet. If I do, you'll see here. If not, never stop questioning everything!

  • How do you voice chat without bothering roommates?

    Jump

  • Get a cruise ship horn (make sure it’s rated for 140-150 decibels) and play it for the entirety of the call.

    Would "TRAIN SOUNDS (true volume, horn every 5 minutes) 24-HOUR MIX" also work?

  • For those running Hubzilla, or that have tried it, how is it?

    Jump

  • Thanks for the detailed reply! The potential complexity (depending on how much you want to do with it) is a major part of why I was asking, both in terms of use and administration.

    Despite the challenges that poses and absence of mobile apps, it still sounds great, but definitely something to go in with an idea of what you do and don't want to do with it.

  • Percentages

    Jump

  • Wouldn't it be easier for everyone to instead not add such systems? After all, don't many go for the simple logic of bigger number is better instead of doing the math?

  • YSK: The vote counts on reddit are completely made up.

  • What does MOA stand for in this context?

  • Google Messages is getting backup and restore feature, and here's how it works

    Jump

  • Any ideas how it might restore the backup on signing in without needing your key afterward if it's E2EE? Doesn't this call into question their E2EE claims?

  • How do you organize your digital stuff?

    Jump

  • I'm also making sure only to use drives whose S.M.A.R.T. can be read without removing their enclosure.

    That's a good call, which drives have you found that support this?

  • Mastodon Follow Packs

    Jump

  • Why?

  • Launcher Kvaesitso

    Jump

  • How is Kvaesitso pronounced?

  • Far-right leaders are winning across the globe. Blaming ‘the economy’ or ‘the left-behinds’ won’t cut it

    Jump

  • Thanks! I'll have to give it a look.

  • They only trust what the hear and see on social media.

    Is there any data yet that backs this thinking?

  • Somebody moved UK's oldest satellite, and no-one knows who or why

    Jump

  • Would there be any sort of logs either from the systems used to move the satellite, or aboard the satellite itself, to help answer the who question, if nothing else?

  • Once Again, the Democratic Leadership Has Failed Us All

    Jump

  • Ask yourself: Why did Donald Trump win. And think about it. The answer is right before you and blazingly far more obvious than any particular action that was within Democrats or Kamala's control.

    What do you personally think the reason was?

  • FBI warns that fake videos using its name, insignia are spreading election misinformation

    Jump

  • Is it possible this is a case of Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man, given the history of the FBI (and other U.S. intelligence agencies)?

  • Another pixel art landscape

    Jump

  • Thanks!

  • What's NN sampling?

  • How are Misskey and its forks doing?

  • Samsung wants future phones to have no Settings menu at all

    Jump

  • You don't like having it duck you over when you're really trying to duck? 😜

  • Samsung wants future phones to have no Settings menu at all

    Jump

  • CI/CD processes.

    What does this stand for, and what are these (in layman's terms anyway, not expecting a deep dive)?

  • They're playing tennis. :) [See post body]

    Jump

  • Unsurprisingly, more closely related species of similar body size and microhabitat use are more likely to be engaged in misdirected amplexus with each other.

    So...They're similar enough that any arousal confusion is incidentally amplified? I guess they may not be similar enough for this behavior to be successful and produce increased genetic diversity among themselves, though? 🤨
