Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a time you tried something different and it worked out?
18·4 months agoPutting salt on mango and pineapple.
I don’t live in a tropical region so imported tropical fruit can be a toss up. A colleague from tropical region told me to put salt on these fruit if they are too sour. Since then, I discovered a new way to eat tropical fruit.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL cows can suffer from fatal bloated stomachs. A way of treating it is by puncture and burning the released methane gas (to determine how much is remaining).

60·4 months agoSo much for those fake open standards created by Google and can only be used by Google

Android@lemdro.id•Google confirms it's 'combining' Chrome OS and Android into a single platform
12·5 months agoEnough has changed that all I can think is, uuugh. This is exactly my feeling. While I still consider Google to be the lesser evil out of all the big tech companies. They have been in freefall in the last decade. Just the amount of telemetries give me shivers.
Also, it will be a license nightmare. As far as I know, Chrome OS is proprietary and actual Android has proper open source license.
Might as well do

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that in 1799, a French soldier discovered the Rosetta Stone, whose Greek, Demotic, and hieroglyphic texts made ancient Egypt readable again.
26·6 months agoThanks for the explanation. I really need to get some sleep before I misread again

Right to Repair@discuss.tchncs.de•iFixit says the Switch 2 is even harder to repair than the original
251·6 months agoAt this price point, I don’t see why average consumer would get Switch 2 over Steam Deck. Nintendo have to release some really good Switch exclusive.

Why is this in self hosted?

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers?
3·7 months agoI have tried and their documentation is too complex and incomplete for self hosting. Right now, for communication, I have mumble for VoIP and ngircd as an irc server.
It pretty much covers 80% of discord use case. I am looking for something that support video chat/screen sharing. Synapse is honestly not bad at all. But it’s too power hungry for my liking. I wish Jitsi could have better ux for average consumer. It feels too business like.

19·7 months agoMumble and Wireguard
Some of my friends are heading back to mumble because discord is getting too bloated with useless features.
Wireguard is to be able to access my local network when I am away.




No love for Jane Austen? Some of her works are all time classic. They could probably compete with top 10 literature work of 17th-18th century.
Another author that’s under appreciated would be Gertrude Stein.
