Dave2D reviews the legion steamOS version compared to the windows version, and talks about the differences in performance and user experience

The fediverse is small, and thats both a blessing and a curse - one of its several blessings is that in a smaller space we all individually have a bigger impact on what the culture of this space is like.

On this comm (and on lemmy broadly) there's a lot of discussion about how to grow the fediverse, what to improve, but an easy thing you can do for the fediverse is right in front of us-

• Be kind

• Ask people what they think, and why

• Approach folks you disagree with with curiosity rather than hostility (EDIT: no, this is not specifically referring to Nazis. I get it, they're the first thing that comes to mind. I'm not telling you to approve of Nazis I'm just saying be kind to your fellow lemmites)

• Engage sincerely

• Ask yourself if there's something nice you can say

• Make this small space worth being in

A platform lives or dies by what's available on said platform and often we have this conversation in the context of "content" or posts - and we may never have as much content as reddit does. But content and posts aren't the only thing this kind of platform offers- it also offers people. It offers community, and human interaction.

Culture and community is lemmy and the fediverse's biggest differentiator, and we all have a role to play in shaping the culture of this space.

The biggest thing you can do to help the fediverse is make it a place worth being.

If you have a couple dollars to spare :)

The only one I found by searching is way out of date and doesn't seem to work. But it feels like there's got to be one out there somewhere

If you're reading this I hope you're having a lovely day :)

If you go to !videos@lemmy.world and scroll you'll see some of the posts have a youtube thumbnail image, but not all.

I wanna post YouTube videos, but no one seems to engage much without a thumbnail, which makes sense, but I'm not sure what would result in the post actually having a thumbnail

If anyone has advice or guidance I'd appreciate it :) Thanks!

EDIT: so far it seems like it's potentially a combination of what version of lemmy the posters account is running, and how that instance is configured...

I see literally nothing but memes and tweet screenshots. An overview of what happened would really help fill me in

This is from Durham NC, so the text is a silly "Durham" pun. And the local mascot is a bull, so a lot of Durham themed stuff features a bull

Forgive my very sleep deprived face and weird-ass glasses, I'm not normally awake during the day and the glasses help with my sleep disorder 😅

Feel free to post your voting pictures or "I voted" stickers in the comments; seeing them makes me happy!

An interesting old video on communication. It shaped a lot of my thoughts about communication from a young age and I recently watched it again and remembered how much I love it all over again

Also, yes it's by the guy who does the "true facts about" videos

Radiofreefedi.net is a super cool internet radio with a couple stations that plays music from fediverse artists, along with a "words" station that plays non-music stuff like podcasts or other kinds of spoken programming

I've really enjoyed it and only learned about it cause someone here on lemmy mentioned it in passing, I thought I'd share so other folks know about it as well :)

One of the biggest obstacles facing workers issues in the US is the disproportionate representation that corporate interests recieve, due to funding campaigns indirectly through citizens united. Bernie highlights the end of citizens' united, and public funding for political campaigns as key pathways to fix the outsized political impact of corporate interests

As long as corporate interests bankroll political campaigns, the people we can vote for will be elected partially at the behest of companies, and will have a conflict of interest in representing American workers

I really enjoyed the well researched video Fortnine put together on how grille height is the greatest predictor of pedestrian collision fatality.
