@rollingflower@lemmy.kde.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Anyone have good ways to search through lemmy posts?10•1YAdd this search string in Firefox/Librewolf/Mull. On Desktop you need the addon “add custom search engine”, on mobile its integrated. (No idea why)
Tor
There dont seem to be discoverable lemmy instances on Tor, even though there is a guide.
You could use this for searching lemmy over tor:
Note that the
(intext:"modlog" & "instances" & "docs" & "code" & "join lemmy")
method seems better. The fedi-search is also awesome.
Changing the Duolingo icon to look sad, old, and wrinkled is a strategy to make users curious, so they open the app to see if there are new updates or content. In other words, Duo is only trying to get your attention.
This tactic is rooted in the psychological effect known as the “novelty effect,” where new stimuli can temporarily increase engagement and motivation. Snapchat similarly employs this strategy with the red dot and yellow dot on the Bitmoji.
@rollingflower@lemmy.kde.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What person can help me sort out the big picture of my life?3•1YWhat are you doing right now, why are you doing it and what do you want to do?
You seem similar to me. If you look 5 years into the future, what are the things you will want to have achieved since then?
People like us always find small tasks and achievements but they often dont matter. We may pile up tasks and todos for things we dont need.
Remove everything from your life that you dont need. And then everything that you wouldnt take with you, if it was a kinda urgent situation. You will feel free and do just what you really need.
At the same time, doing silly things is called a “hobby” and can be satisfying. Maybe ask yourself “is this pleasure or distraction?”
For finding people, I never succeeded with online dating too, but often just in situations where similar people meet, randomly. Dating on purpose is not natural and I think I would be uncomfortable meeting so many new people with that intention.
@rollingflower@lemmy.kde.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the most advanced chemistry you've done on your own at home or work?2•1YNo, “Wundbenzin” which is clean “Benzin” which is “Petrol Ether”.
Its really confusing, in german we say “Benzin” to a mix of alkanes that are between Kerosine (really light) and “Petroleum” (pretty heavy, used in lamps) afaik.
In the US “Benzin” would be “gasoline” or “petrol” which is already so weird. And as that name for alkanes of medium long length is not reused, stuff like “spirit” or “ether” come along which are as far as I know both wrong (not an alcohol or an ether)
@rollingflower@lemmy.kde.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is something that is completely legal that should be illegal?3•1YNuclear energy is slow, which is why things like “night storage heating” where invented, which store the unneeded heat generated at night.
We have a constant electricity demand and a varying. Especially if we use “smart” devices (nothing IOT, just washing machines only washing during the day) the constant demand can be decreased a lot.
So as we are awake roughly around the time that we can produce solar energy, and have wind for the constant part, we dont need nuclear power, really.
Also building these plants takes years which we dont have.
And nothing is sustainable if it produces non-disposable nuclear waste that will likely live longer than humanity on this planet.
@rollingflower@lemmy.kde.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is something that is completely legal that should be illegal?10•1YRemoving AUX ports, forcing people to throw away their headphones, because you ALSO nowhere sell your overpriced USB DACs.
Climate Destruction
Stealing already existing nature land, forcing people out of it, and “taking care of it” and get carbon credits for it like what?
Mine Coal or Oil in 2024. Same with building nuclear plants.
We had a thing in Germany, where nuclear industries needed to pay for the disposal of nuclear waste. Instead of calculating real numbers, they should invest ⅒ or less of the actually needed money into trust funds. Like… what? Money doesnt grow just like that, it comes from exploiting workers, and “magically” they didnt need to pay that much. And of course that was too little so now the tax payers have to pay for these horrible companies.
@rollingflower@lemmy.kde.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•is there any way to losslessly convert a whole recursive file directory of .m4a files to .opus23•1YNo as both are lossy codecs you will always lose quality doing so. You can do it with ffmpeg.
parallel ffmpeg -i {} {.}.opus ::: *.m4a
You may want to tweak parameters for bitrate, etc. But this is not needed at all, as AAC had patents that are now expired.
If you get .flac, .wav or similar lossless music, you should encode that with opus. But lossy to lossy makes nearly no sense (apart from specific players not supporting them)
Ironically that link (that I manually took from the browser as it would otherwise be a permalink to my instance…) doesnt work in Jerboah
