What app you americans use for personal conversations?
  • I was surprised to read that a country in South Europe mainly used Viber. I'm not European but I'm almost definite that WhatsApp has the largest market share for chat apps in all of Europe. Maybe Telegram coming a close second

  • I'm being harassed by mosquitoes, how do i kill them all?
  • For those of us that live in the West African tropics, we just settle on how many bites we can tolerate per night lol. Some people apply agricultural pesticides (active ingredient Bifenthrin) down their waste water pipes once a month to ameliorate.

  • Does anyone find Mastodon to be beneficial in any way?
  • It does take a while to get the hang of Mastodon, especially if you come with a Twitter mindset expecting some algorithm to push Content to your timeline. Once you start following the Hashtag and topics that interests you, then the "power" of mastodon comes to the fore

  • What's a true fact that is so misleading it's borderline misinformation?
  • So there's some "incorrect" assumptions you have made about the North American summer, and weather in Africa. In the North American summer, only North Africa experiences summer with you guys. The rest of the continent is blanketed in rains (West, Central and East Africa) or are in outright winter (Southern Africa). So our temperatures do come down in your winter. Your coldest months are our hottest months for most of the continent (except for North Africa). So saying the developed parts of Africa

  • Lemmy v0.18.0 Release
  • So I'm trying to get a local instance of Lemmy 0.18 running on my LAN with docker. I don't have a domain name (yet) and would not be able host lemmy as a Proxmox Container primarily to get acquainted with hosting and administering an instance before eventually hosting an instance on a VPS. Has anyone successful hosted lemmy on their LAN? How did you go about setting it up?

    VOIP @lemmy.ml devexxis @lemmy.ml

    Welcome to the VOIP Community on Lemmy.ml!

    So now that we have two more subscribers here, I thought it right to make a welcome post. Hopefully we can grow the community! I am the "mod" here but I must confess that I am what I would describe as an intermediate-to-advanced beginner. Most of my professional experience has been within the last 22 months working as an L1 Freepbx tech. Basically updating and configuring dialplan change requests. I am open to handing over moderation to considerably more experienced folks.

    To get the conversation rolling, what would be your recommendations for growing in the field? How would you suggest a rookie plans their career path to ensure rapid growth to attain expertise and relevance in the field? What skis and toolsets have been of great impact to you more experienced folks?

    How would you mentor new entrants into tech in general and programming in particular?
  • So I come from a 3rd world country where many people lack the basics. Covid-19 and remote work opened a lot of opportunities for local tech folks such that $15/hr immediately made you very comfortable here. This was after years of earning about $2k/yr from local employers. A lot of young locals are now rushing into tech with the aim of earning such "mouth watering" pay. However many are not willing to put in the work. They literally want you to plan a learning path for them, teach them, get a job for them and in some cases work that job for them

  • General Programming Discussion @lemmy.ml devexxis @lemmy.ml

    How would you mentor new entrants into tech in general and programming in particular?

    So on a different platform, I came across heated conversations about more experienced tech workers being unwilling to mentor new entrants. While I thought that was an unfair accusation, I thought to ask a wider audience their views and thoughts on mentoring upcommers. Do you mentor anyone? Were you mentored? How much impact does mentoring have on career growth?

    As Reddit Crushes Protests, Its User Traffic Returns to Normal
  • Been on Reddit for 4 years. Almost exclusively used the official app. I was completely irritated by the ads disguised as posts. @ChristianSelig posts about the API drama and I tried out a few of the 3PAs. What in the name of God was I ever doing on the official app?
