No Stupid Questions

Does anybody know how/whether this is going to affect hardware obsolescence?

Was there an alternative adjective to "clockwise" other than "the rotation you take around left hand"?

Also, how did all watch companies around the world agree on what the direction of "clockwise" is?

I feel in the suburbs where you have cookie cutter houses that all have garburators it must add a little bit of load. How does it compare to municipally run composting?

Besides size and looks, nowadays is there any significant differences between distros that might make one "better" than the other?

Dear Right to Repair

I have a 10 year old dumb phone (keypad phone).

Has anyone unlocked their dumb phone ?

If so, could you tell me how you did it please ?

Yours sincerely ROMMMELLL

Seems possible...

This relates to the BBC article [https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-66596790] which states "the UK should pay $24tn (£18.8tn) for its slavery involvement in 14 countries".

The UK abolished slavery in 1833. That's 190 years ago. So nobody alive today has a slave, and nobody alive today was a slave.

Dividing £18tn by the number of UK taxpayers (31.6m) gives £569 each. Why do I, who have never owned a slave, have to give £569 to someone who similarly is not a slave?

When I've paid my £569 is that the end of the matter forever or will it just open the floodgates of other similar claims?

Isn't this just a country that isn't doing too well, looking at the UK doing reasonably well (cost of living crisis excluded of course), and saying "oh there's this historical thing that affects nobody alive today but you still have to give us trillions of Sterling"?

Shouldn't payment of reparations be limited to those who still benefit from the slave trade today, and paid to those who still suffer from it?

(Please don't flame me. This is NSQ. I genuinely don't know why this is something I should have to pay. I agree slavery is terrible and condemn it in all its forms, and we were right to abolish it.)

Hello lemmings,

I am not exactly a fan of soap dramas, however through regular visits at my moms place i end up watching these shows (specifically the german shows "Alles was zählt" and "Gute Zeiten, Schlechte Zeiten").

Until this year, the drama was worth it because Doctor Who aired inmediately after and i think Donna Noble, Martha Jones, Clara Oswalt etc. are much more entertaining.

Over time i've noticed that the plots have become much more dramatic. Schemes have become much more schemey, crimes have been commited and became more crimey and the drama has become seemingly constantly more dramatic.

Now my question is: Am i mistaken with my impression? Is there a name for this drama creep? Does this also happen to other long-running soap dramas where you live?

Obviously searching “trees” just points me to cannabis communities. Is there a community for actual trees and tree health?

I have a bunch of a polyethylene net interwoven with a hay, which would be impossible to separate. What is the best way to ecologically dispose of it? Should I give it to separated plastic (so it would be burned in an incineration plant), or put it to the communal waste?

The last humans to step foot on the moon, the crew of Apollo 17, did so in 1972. So far, no one has gone back...

It's been 50 years though.

How do you explain this fact despite the undeniable scientific and technological advances ?

I would like to collect here as many opinions, hypotheses and if possible evidence on this subject as possible.

All opinions (rational or not) are welcome but try to respect those of others. (no judgement) ✌

Just curious if is doable.

I think axiom should fit, but according to its official definition, an axiom is a statement that is taken to be true, and as far as I know, a word can't make an statement by its own.

I would assume people would capitalize their titles in posts since that’s the standard pretty much anywhere else like on YouTube or news sites, and that’s what you learn to do in school. Why is it only different on forum platforms like Lemmy or Reddit?

That should link to a YouTube video. I have it pulled up in YouTube and clicked the share button then tapped the copy link line.

But when I post it via an iPhone in voyager the link doesn’t work. How do I make the link actually work?

Edit on note it works. I wonder if it’s sub specific for it to work?

Edit 2: problem solved. Replace the word short with the word watch in the link for the short video

Looking for both the process and any software I may need. My day job involves teaching image-pattern recognition algorithms on industrial robots so I'm not afraid of any learning curve, I simply don't know where to get started.

Thanks!

A friend of mine thinks the spine should either be very slightly curved or not curved at all with a good posture. He showed me military posture which seems to show that’s the case, however all the “normal” posture things I’ve seen show the spine is more naturally curved.

So my question is the military posture the correct one and should our spines be mostly straight or no? If not any evidence for this so I can show them?
