what is the safest way to make sure a wasp or a bee won't attack you?
Bees couldn’t care less about you unless you’re threatening them. I constantly have bees in my garden and we can peacefully coexist. Fuck wasps though.

Is anyone using Asahi Linux?
It works alright but there are still issues. My biggest gripe with it is that sleeping doesn't really work. I will often close my laptop and then come back to a dead laptop the next day because the battery drained all night.

I found a nice and easy lemmy bug to fix, but someone beat me to it by 18 hours.

Well, no. Unlike the blockchain, decentralized platforms aren't snake oil.

Advanced pirates, whats a tip others might not know?
If you really want to build an awesome Plex/Jellyfin library, start using Usenet instead of torrents.

Which kindle(?) to buy for downloaded books
Definitely the Kobo Libra 2 or the Kobo Nia. I bought both a Kindle and a Kobo Libra 2 and ended up returning the Kindle because book piracy was a pain. The overall Kobo user experience is just a whole lot more pleasant.

Done with Twitter and Reddit

Yeah- this is my big gripe with all of the alternative video sharing platforms. All of them have a significantly right-wing conspiracy theorist bias. Not really a place I see myself spending a lot of time, personally.

Parmigiano-Reggiano makers are putting edible microchips the size of a grain of sand into their 90-pound cheese wheels to combat counterfeiters
The microchips aren’t edible because they want you to eat them. They’re edible because they know some idiot eventually will eat one.

It’s like calling the Wonder Pets to save the day but they show up and instead of a dog that lost its toy it’s the fucking apocalypse

How did you mess with school computers?
When I was in high school, I reset the admin password on one of the macs in the computer lab in single user mode and used it to find the school’s Wi-Fi password in the keychain. Shared it with a few friends and it eventually made its way to most of the student body. It was a total game changer for all of us because we all had smartphones (this was in 2014ish) but the building had virtually no cell service indoors whatsoever.

Do you think that Lemmy will last or will it die in a few weeks?
Lemmy has been around for quite a while, well before any of the recent issues. The userbase will probably die back once people get bored and go back to Reddit but some of us will still be here

I’ve got a set of Yamaha HS7 studio monitors sitting in front of me right now. Their music equipment is great.

Reddit risks losing its identity in pursuit of profits
It lost its identity a long time ago.

We should start calling u/spez by his real name. Because most people won’t know who he is if he shows up somewhere else in future.

I specifically joined Lemmy to get away from Reddit. Why does everyone constantly want to talk about Reddit? There are much more interesting topics out there, folks
