What are your must-have programs?
  • However sometimes people don't realize which community they are in and they just look at the title.

    Guilty as charged. After reading the title it didn't even cross my mind that it could possibly refer to anything other than mobile apps so I saw no reason whatsoever to look at what community it was posted in as the app I came to think of as a good recommendation is cross platform.

  • [QUESTION] How do instances that use platforms such as Lemmy send verification, password reset, etc. e-mails? Do they use SMTP or some external service that provides an API?
  • Yes, it is.

    I've been running my own mail server for decades now (a quite odd hobby, I know) and that's not to be recommended for anyone who doesn't have a particular interest in e-mail. SMTP is from the early 1980s with roots in the 1970s and has had layer upon layer bolted on since then. It's a fantastic mess.

  • What are your must-have programs?
  • When I finally learned about Pocket just a few years ago it surprised me greatly that I didn't know about it before and now I use it daily:

  • How to send a fax from an Android phone
  • I would like to suggest that anyone who in the year 2024 insists on you communicating with them by fax can't be trusted and your best solution is therefore to stay away.

  • Viruses & Task Viewers
  • In general, no. Most malware that runs its own process simply uses some name intended to make you not notice it. But it is possible, in Linux just as in every other operating system that ever existed, to imagine that some unusually sophisticated malware manages to exploit some unknown vulnerability to gain full control of the kernel and then all bets are off, then it would be able to do anything.

  • TIL the US government once banned sliced bread
  • By banning the use of expensive bread-slicing machines,

    So they didn't actually try banning sliced bread.

  • Microsoft word update messes up exams in Denmark
  • Sorry for the Danish post […]

    Never apologize for your own language.

  • Contributing to FOSS as a Sysadmin
  • While I don't know what exactly you mean by sysadmin, it sounds to me as if you'd be better at setting up (and maintaining) CI/CD than most normal developers and that's something that'd be very valuable to lots of projects out there.

  • Would you support a mandatory retirement age of 75 for US House, US Senate & US Supreme Court Justices and if not why?
  • I think the people of the United States should be allowed to elect whoever they want, without us interfering.

  • Hearing is be-leafing: Students invent quieter leaf blower
  • How could you possibly know this!?

  • what lemmy app do you recommend and why?
  • Sync, it has a very nice user interface, I've been using it for years (previously for Reddit).

  • Looking for ShareX Alternative on Linux
  • Your question would be much easier to answer if you explained what it is that this ShareX thing does that you want to do.

    As it apparently doesn't exist for Linux, or else you wouldn't have asked, it seems safe to assume that most Linux users aren't familiar with it.

  • Republicans are pulling out all the stops to reverse EV adoption
  • The American auto industry could also produce EVs, if it so chose.

    I find that very hard to believe.
