No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Iv had a single subscription for like a decade. YouTube red or premium or what the fuck ever it's called.
Cost me 7.99 I stream my music from YouTube.
The moment YouTube stops grandfathering me in is the moment I go right back to just pirating everything. They have threatened to raise the praise for grandfathered plans a few times and never went though with it. They have threatened to add ads, or change features and never went though with it.
8 dollars is entirely an acceptable price for functionally unlimited music and TV.
I use the service so I pay for the service. It's convenient, functional and there are no ads.
Works on my PC, phone and while I'm in the car with no fiddling.
If I had to pick a service to use to today I would just go with Bandcamp or pirate the fuck out of everything.
Seriously what Gabe said decades ago was turn then and now. Piracy is a service problem. A affordable, fair and customer friendly service will be worth paying for. Companies just keep making shit worse then what the value prop is.
And frankly I would spend like 40 bucks a month on CDs, so 8 bucks is perfectly acceptable. And I don't personally see any fucking reason to own a copy of my music. That just cost storage space.
I keep a simple txt file with a list of all the songs and albums I enjoy the most so if I need to I can easily just go get a copy of them when and if I need to. And not waste space on meaningless files that I have on demand access too.
And reading that was when I stopped moving the cursor to the upvote arrow. ;-)
But that's fine, so long as when you own nothing, you're happy. ;-) /s
I see owning a copy of arts as performing part of a duty to the future, increasing the resilience against the book burners and history re-writers.
