Not quite, the community is mainly geared for plugins that are used for tweaking and enhancing Lemmy user experience, whereas themes are only for aesthetic purposes.

I installed whole a lot of custom themes onto my instance recently, but I had to scour through the Internet for them. Is there a community dedicated to custom Lemmy themes, for both user styles (usable via Stylus) and ones we admins can install?

Previously this week I released a Lemmy guide in Finnish, as the platform has started to gain a bit more traction here. Based on that, I made an English version on my blog. I tell about what is Lemmy, how to choose an instance, how to find communities and how the interoperability with Mastodon works. I also tell a bit about mobile apps and my own experiences as an instance admin.

Understandable choice, given that Skype is pretty much redundant with Teams. Back in 2004-2005 Skype was really hyped because of free voice calls through the Internet, but few days later several other messaging apps incorporated that feature; Skype's thunder was stolen. Also its inconsistent branding was a problem: there was Skype for Business that later became Lync, ultimately becoming Teams. Skype kind of became forgotten and obsolete.

Looks like open-world simulator games coming from Finland have one common theme: getting drunk. The competition between this and the previously posted Last Drop is going to be tough. Regardless I am delighted of Finnish culture being represented in games.

This has been evident for anyone following the gaming industry, but now Phil Spencer basically admits it. Good for them, actually.

Feels great to have a game that represents Finnish urban culture from the 90s with promises to combine that vibe with Kaurismäki and Tarantino. However the character models could be more livelier. And that music sounds so AI-generated, hopefully the final game doesn't use it.

So much hype about the AI Pin and how it was going to revolutionize how we use computers. Several bad reviews and they hype dried up like the Aral Sea – and poof, now it's gone.

For that audience they don't need to be funny, they have to be racist.

This was also around the time when the public perception about Musk was different. Reddit thought of him as a "real-life Tony Stark", who put a car in space and is a little eccentric. That perception about him peaked on August 2018 when he appeared on Joe Rogan's podcast. Around 2020 he started to go deeper into QAnon-esque rabbit-hole, turning into the despised far-right wacko he is today. Of course he has been always an opportunistic hack.

Out of curiosity I decided to watch that press conference. Trump was constantly talking with no proper pacing or rhythm and lots of nonsensical statements – and the "usual Trump stuff". I fell asleep while watching the conference, which tells enough.

Well, if anon thinks he is too late at 30+ years, it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Anti-science has gained too much traction in recent years, I doubt USA will survive if H5N1 starts spreading from human to human.

"Medical freedom", the rallying cry for all kinds of grifters spreading disinformation and wanting to roll back the progress made in public health.

Seeing him without his beard and hair feels so wrong and even uncanny. I hope he has a lot more years ahead of him and he kicks cancer's ass.

During the last 5 years Brand has fallen gradually into a QAnon-esque rabbit hole, and all this new-age-spirituality stuff has been the gateway.

Well, you have to explore other languages. As Linus Torvalds once famously said:

There aren't enough swear-words in the English language, so now I'll have to call you perkeleen vittupää just to express my disgust and frustration with this crap.
