Which are some good food crops/plants that one can grow without much effort or space?

Likely will vary with location and season.
Wanted to know what folk on Lemmy grow or see.

In the case that there maybe some who know specific info that maybe good for my location: I am from India, Kerala.

How long do you have to live in a place for you to be considered from there?

Example, moved to NYC to be considered a New Yorker.

What do we think of "MacGyver"?

Given Lemmy’s leftward sociopolitical skew, the appreciation for Star Trek makes perfect sense, but what do we think of “MacGyver”? I specifically refer to the 85-92 Richard Dean Anderson show; I know there’s a reboot but I haven’t seen it yet.

Let’s see…

-Leftward socio-political commentary, including environmental activism and anti-authoritarianism

-Male protagonist with actual outward sensitivity & feelings

-“Open-source”; makes his own tools/gadgets from whatever’s available instead of relying on a corporate supply chain.

Sounds right up this platform’s alley.

I’m halfway through season 2 and it’s pretty damn good; it’s basically James Bond as an overgrown Boy Scout and that’s actually rather endearing.

Is Lemmy also full of bots like Reddit?

I just found a account where it’s comments are all the same stuff over and over again. It seems like spam bot. I thought only reddit had a bot problem but maybe Lemmy has it too?

Here’s the account: lemmy.world/u/circuitai

How did I find it

So, for those wondering how I found it:

I first come across that account on lemmy.world/c/BestOfAi

Here’s the comment that caught my attention:

Anyone tryed this Henson shaving?

Any thoughts, expiriences…?

Does anyone have any information or literature that would describe how the Bush administration created self-fulfilling prophecies via honey potting entrapment operations directed at Arabs online?

Is it just me or i feel life is getting more difficult these days?

i am middle aged man, i experienced life since before even computer and smartphone is a thing like today.

back then, i feel that life is much easier, what i mean easier is more simple life, less competition, less stress, fresh environment, and more happiness despite lack of technology.

but right now, everything is just too complicated despite of power of tech, internet, smartphone, and AI helps, i feel that life is much harder right now, what i mean is like competition is everywhere, stressful everyday, crowded city, and i easily depressed these days.

is it just me or everyone else can relate to what happens right now?

Why is it such a crazy idea that the public should own the means of production?

We have lost all sense of self preservation. Almost like we the gipity. Which came first the gipity or the ape? I swear chain smoking monkeys driving cars.

Do any any android lemmy apps have side scrolling?

When I open a post i intuitively want to horizontal scroll to go to the next or previous post in my feed. Instead I have to back out into the main feed and then select the next post.

Thanks.

[Question] rooting a xiaomi phone in 2026

cross-posted from: feddit.org/post/34344203

So for months now I am owning an POCO F7 Ultra24122RKC7G usually the first thing i do is rooting the shit out of it, but since the last time i rooted a phone is a very long time ago (my previous was the poco f3 which died because of a spicy Pillow in the end) I just learned after I got this one that Xiaomi changed the process to a fuckin raffle of some sort… (See this dam screenshot)

So I forgot about it till today, where google just suddenly started its gemini shit and reminded me “you still got bloatware here!”

So my question is: is there any way To unlock it without this fucked up waiting times which never seems to work even if I got only Exactly at that given time Xiaomi tells us?

Why is traditional mailing still so relevant in the US (especially banks) when the technology is so much more advanced?

I know the US is a shitshow right now but please im looking for sensible answers.

I have some documents from a bank that need to be mailed. PDF is not an option and no matter how much i push for a secure email option, they still stick with slow turtle mail.

I live outside the US and this slow mail process has been very frustrating. And not just banks, any other business if you request some form of paperwork, their answer => MAIL.

That is very weird consider to mail the document, they need to type out an electronic version then print and mail it. So why waste too many steps?

And i just discovered today theres a thing called mailforwarding service… Aka you buy a US mailbox, letter gets sent to that mailbox then they help to forward those internationally.

In contrast to when I am in China and Singapore, EVERYTHING is digital. It is so much better that the only thing i carry is my phone.

How did people got word of police brutality in the 1950s?

There is no internet (let alone social media or body cams) during that era, since Jim Crow in America was still being enforced towards black people at that time, but the civil rights movement is gaining traction (since Martin Luther King was alive). I mean, cop violence has been around for a long time before body cams were invented. How did people hear first hand encounters from those victimized back then without reliance on social media?

Europeans: where do you buy electronic components?

I used to buy them cheap in AliExpress, but since the new european tariff it’s ridiculously expensive, you’ll pay dozens of times the prize of the product in tariffs.

Amazon and other big general retailers are ridiculously expensive as well.

Local buying is not an option because in my city there is not a single electronics shop.

Buying from small specialized online shops, the best option if it were not for the lack of selection, meaning that to order all you need for a project need to hit several shops and be buried in shipping cost.

What do you hobbyists do since ali is not an option anymore within the EU?

Should I Read a Brian Hebert Dune Novel?

I have read all of the Frank Hebert novels several times and adore them. Even God Emperor of Dune. I have never read any of the Brian novels because I hear they are such trash. But now 40 years after first reading Dune I am starting to question that decision. Should I?

Any recommendations of not US centered subs?

Hello!

I’m a frebch new user of Lemmy, and many of the classic subs are really US-centered. Do you have any english/french speaking communities with memes or anything else, just communities you like, that don’t speak about whatever shitty thing currently happening in the worst country on the planet?

Thank you!!

If you have sold one or more houses after elderly relatives died, what did you learn that can help me to make it as easy as possible?

I’m preparing for a worst case scenario (parents refuse to downsize, refuse to move to LTC, keep kicking the can down the road because everything is fine…). If they disregard my advice to downsize now that they’re cognizant all I can do is let them fail and use an emergency like a fall or an accident to talk to the ER doctor, convince him they’re not safe at home and move them to LTC or AL, somewhere they’re supervised at.

At least 2 fully furnished houses would have to go, these are large, old, but renovated houses: one is 2,700 square feet and the other 1,600, both measurements without counting the front garden and backyard. Completely furnished with stuff from several generations, most of it regular stuff not worth much.

I have zero experience dealing with estate sales and to me it looks daunting: How do I make sure potential buyers don’t low-ball me? Should I ask several local realtors first? How do I choose one to trust? Do I need a realtor? I live on another state and would want to expedite this but I just don’t know if waiting for a better offer would make sense.

How much time did you need to close the sale?

Have you ever apologized to an object?

-To my automatic lawnmower when i tripped on it.

-To my luggage when i almost broke the zipper by putting too much objects in it.

Is chronically online culture becoming mainstream?

There are some things that I consider to only be known by chronically online people like femboys, furries, non binary xenogenders (I’m sorry if you are non binary but at least in my country no one cares about it irl)

Tho I’ve seen too many people irl make some jokes that you would expect to see on the internet by a chronically online redditor. My brother’s friend (only 10 years old btw) said “if you lose the dare you’re a furry femboy” 💀

Then a guy who is in my friend group said he’s really into "looksmaxxing’ lately. A lot of them acted like it was something normal to say.

Too many young people using TikTok slang irl, I don’t know, I prefer to keep the internet shit on the internet and just forget about it in my day to day life.

Damn even my parents sometimes mention some influencer that got cancelled, it feels illegal that my parents know about some random streamer.
