Hey everyone!

I'm Nick (he/them), I'm 20 and I'm looking for Fediverse friends! I'm former military, and now I'm trying to get into college (Chemical Engineering). I'd love to make friends in STEM, but anyone is welcome!

If you wanna be friends, let me know!

If this is the wrong sub, sorry admins. Idk where to go :(

I just made a Piefed.social account today. I'm very familiar with reddit, but after the API changes and all the bullshit that's been happening with the site lately I want something different. How do I see which communities I'm a part of, the equivalent of subreddits I guess? Where do I go to find new ones? Do I need to be in a singe instance to participate? I'd really like to find the Lemmy equivalent of my favorite subreddits from reddit, but I simply don't know how to do that.

I am kind of too scared to ask here, but what did it actually achieve?

I apologize if this isn't the best place to ask this question. I have been looking everywhere for more classical/orchestral music and EDM hybrids, but nothing has come close to this song.

I saw there were music subs but they didn't really seem like the place where you ask about finding new music.

Again apologies if this isn't the best sub for this question I just didn't know where else to ask.

Bonus points, for how long? Extra points, how was it? Additional points, why there and what did you do?

> In 1345 he personally discovered a collection of Cicero's letters not previously known to have existed, the collection Epistulae ad Atticum, in the Chapter Library (Biblioteca Capitolare) of Verona Cathedral

So basically a guy goes into a library, rummages for a while, and finds ~1400 years old text no one knew was there

Do we still have places that store texts (like libraries, but doesn't have to strictly be a library) where we don't have everything catalogued and we don't know what might be inside?

I invest in land in country X, stocks in country Y, live in Z, as a citizen of A.

I want to talk to and ask questions to people like me. It would be nice if I was in the bottom 20% in terms of wealth and intelligence in such a community

Over the years I’ve tended to shy away from browser syncing and as a result I’ve lost a ton of useful links. Looking for a browser extension that can sync across devices, between different browsers (frequently switch from librewolf, firefox, vivaldi, etc…), and isn’t going to sell my info to the highest bidder. Do any of you lemmings have a good option for me?

Sorry if this doesn't belong here, more than happy to be pointed in the right direction if it doesn't.

I wanna do movie nights with friends where we watch movies together in the living room on my TV. I have a DVD player and VCR I got from the thrift shop as well as a few movies for both. However, I was thinking it would also be fun to expand the options available by downloading a bunch of public domain movies to play on the TV. Only issue is figuring how I'd work that all out.

The TV lacks any network connectivity features. While it has a USB slot, it can literally only detect pictures and set them up for slideshows. Even tried putting some video files on to test and it won't detect at all. Also because my computer is a desktop, connecting it directly to the TV from the other room is a no-go.

Is there some sort of device that serves this kind of purpose? Like something I can download videos to, and then connect it to my TV in a similar sense you would a DVD or VCR and be able to choose the content on the device using a remote? I'd really appreciate the help and pointers if this is something that exists.
