I write using all my fingers, but I've never managed to attain full mastery, for example I never use the correct fingers to type numbers in the top row, or I struggle with special characters. Sure, the letters row I am comfortable (although I could be a bit better, I'm at 76wmp 96% accuracy) but the rest I'd love to be able to master them.

I searched a bit and found about Keybr, which seems really cool and it's open source. Of course MonkeyType, although that looks a better tool once you've already feel more comfortable and not to actually learn, and it's also open source. And then TypingClub, which has a nice tree that teaches you everything in order. What do you think it's the best approach? Maybe first do the TypingClub lessons, then practice every once in a while with either Keybr or MonkeyType?

Was reading about undersea com/internet cables. Then just started thinking about how wild it would have been if a wreck like the Titanic had been messed up even more if a cable (or cables) had been dropped on it (or even found due to laying them).

I started searching, but there are too many articles about the cables being damaged and/or sabotaged. But aside from some that talk about potential impact of the environments where they are laid, I haven't seen anything about damaging shipwrecks by the cables or discovering any while being placed.

Would imagine that most of the cables are placed outside of really busy shipping routes, and avoid unnecessarily deep sections. Still would be kind of interesting to know.

Yo yo! I saw a post that said Lemmy is dying and could use more content. (Read it in the link below)

So I’m making an effort to post here more frequently to keep Lemmy going!

So, what was your favorite thing that happened today? For me, I was excited to have my baby nap on me while I write this. 😍

EDIT: thanks to everyone for posting! It was so awesome to read everyone’s positive experiences! Here’s to another day to making positive memories. 🍻

What I mean is: do Arch Linux developers use Arch Linux to develop Arch Linux? Do Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, and others do the same? Or is it a case of "the cobbler's children have no shoes"?

It seems obvious, but it may be more complicated than it appears.

You may remember the last time i did this: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/37430077 .

every time I want to talk to my boss about something work related I ask for a private conversation, because this is the way it should be, at least I see it that way.

I work with several forklifts and mistakenly though 2 were broken because I couldn't start them. Because we all need the forklifts and my boss was on holiday I started looking for a mechanic within the organization, always informing the substitute boss as well.

Regular boss comes back from his holiday, asks me to come to the office, asks me point blank in front of everyone else to hear what I was thinking to do that. 2 secretaries and 3 coworkers heard the whole story.

I presented my side of the story and after a short discussion my boss a mechanic and me went to check the forklifts were the mechanic started them, so I was wrong all along.

I apologized to them both and repeated I wanted to save time, because boss was on holidays and I wanted to have all forklifts in working condition, because we all use them extensively.

If I was the boss in this situation I'd have conducted the conversation behind closed doors, not in front of the whole office. It feels like mobbing and makes it difficult to trust this person.

Is this a red flag or am I overreacting?

I saw some buldak cheese version on sale so I got some and after 5 bites I've sweat the equivalent to half an olympic sized pool and starting to see aliens. Is there something genetically different with people who enjoy this?

Yesterday there was an article about a show called "Gladiators" in the Guardian, i wanted to see what it was and looked for where to watch it. The problem is that i leave in France. The tow only options i found were to :

• Torrent it

• Use a VPN, create an account on the BBC website, give a random postcode in UK and say that i pay a television license in UK (which i don't because i live in France)

I wondered if i missed something or if there is really no way to legally watch it ?

I mean honeymoon phase as in the initial period of dating rather than an actual honeymoon

Some of my friends and me, we want to start a community kitchen in my local city. Mostly to foster a community for immigrants but ofcourse everyone is welcome. We will be cooking food and serving it basically.

We already found a place where the owners offered us their restaurants free of charge.

We already have some donors, who will donate a total of around 500 eur per month.

But I want to avoid using my personal account to receive these donations. I know a friend of mine had his bank account closed because of "suspecious activity" and I have heard similar stories like that. Plus im not sure if finance amt might cause problems because of it.

I should mention, i am not a german myself (immigrant with blue card visa) and my german is quite basic.

So my question, what is recomended way for me to receive these donations? Does platform like gofundme or ko-fi make more sense? Probably they will have their own fees.

Anyone who has experience with this sort of thing?

What do you boycott? e.g. games, music, shows, food

It was on the counter just like that. Pretty sure I would have noticed this immediately if it was like that when I put it there last night. I live alone... I'm just really confused.

Is workplace gossip just a painful fact of life? Is there a way to go beneath the radar with regards to coworkers and staff who base their life enjoyment discussing other people’s personal business? Is there a good model for reducing the amount of workplace gossip/reinforcing more pro social habits? Or is that just how people socialize? I realize that’s multiple forms of the question, but it is always something I think about working in a gossip culture.

1. Is it that some servers have better UI ?
2. How do I migrate?
3. Also, is it possible there are isolated federated networks of leemy (other activity protocol)?

Aye for me

had a middle school ex in seventh grade who called me a “weird bisexual” and “bowling ball /bowling ball stomach”. had another kid who was a popular girl spread a rumor abt me that i was a lesbian with a crush on her bc i asked for her number but stuttered saying it because i was very socially awkward. i was fat shamed sometimes in school and shamed bc ppl thought i was a lesbian because my ex-friend outed me when i said i had a crush on a girl

No wrong answer, but I'm asking seriously.

What is the best way to share videos on Lemmy? As far as I know, uploading is not possible in principle, or is that only the case here? In addition to external video hosts, I am particularly interested in how well this works with other services from the Fediverse. For example, videos from PeerTube, Loops, or Pixelfed.

About a year ago I watched the movie zardos, but lately I often remember it when I look at the street, so I wanted to ask if you know similar films?

I tried to call into the majority report two days ago, and I just get some serious stage fright, didn't help that a national news story broke. I was stressing waiting for que to call in, calling in and getting voicemail, then getting put on hold. Like it was weird that I was high strung to the point where it was hard to form words.

I might try again after things calm down I'm America
