I like to ask a variety of questions, sometimes silly, serious, and/or strange. Never asking in an attempt to pester or “just asking questions” stuff.
I’m generally curious and/or trying to get a sense of people’s views.

What would the IRL (in real life) of "real life"/offline life be?
What would you do if you could unconditionally duplicate yourself?
What are some user friendly LAN text messengers for mobile/PC?
Not really from a privacy concern, that's simply a bonus, more of a reliability/convenience interest. Even if internet/mobile internet is out for some reason, being able to easily text across local network would be nice....
Which types of work suit those that prefer to work alone, or with smaller teams?
Why don't more filtering systems enable sorting by least viewed/visited, including for older pages/material?
Sometimes what I'm interested in may be more specific or niche, but a lot of search engines and filtering systems don't seem to provide a way to drill down to those results. What may be some reasons behind that?...

Where to find online communities of people making stuff mainly as a hobby?
Stuff could be anything, digital or physical, but the idea is of discussing and doing it as a hobby without any pressure or push to make it a business or side-gig. Nothing against that, simply that communities/groups with that atmosphere are easy enough to find as-is.
Does sociology extend to other social animals besides humans?
If sociology's exclusive to humans, then what might be the field of other social animal research?
What's been an interesting safe for life linkhole you've found on the web recently?
There's probably a different word for it, but linkhole like rabbithole....
KDE Connect should only enable downloading files from allowed directories, right? [issue report found, may be very old notifications]
I was working on some stuff on my PC and stepped away for a bit, and on returning noticed notifications on it that some files had been downloaded via KDE Connect from my phone. I was using my phone at the time, and didn't send the files....

For podcast/audiobook listeners that multitask, do you follow all of what's being discussed/said as you listen & do other stuff?
I've read a lot of people talk about doing this, and I kinda follow, but also: almost any time I've tried it ends up becoming background noise and I follow almost none of it. Are those of you that do this doing simpler tasks as you listen?
How much maintenance do you find your self-hosting involves?
I recognize this will vary depending on how much you self-host, so I'm curious about the range of experiences from the few self-hosted things to the many self-hosted things....
How much do people still follow entertainment media reviews today?
I know there's occasionally some backlash to reviews that go against a broader positive reception to some media, but do that many people still follow reviews to decide what to check out?...
Which web interfaces, if any, enable keyword filtering or following?
The first function is probably familiar from some other interfaces: filter out posts according to certain keywords....

What are some ways you think discoverability might be improved across federated platforms?
Discoverability in this context meaning the ability to more effectively find public communities/people of interest. Alongside improving this however, respecting people's decisions on whether and how they may be found, if at all.
What are some of the more novel forms of fediverse software?
By novel I mean not emulating an existing popular platform, e.g. Lemmy-Reddit, Mastodon-Twitter, etc.
How might one turn bad faith on its head to help rather than harm?
In thinking on the classic Sartre quote concerning the folly of arguing with anti-Semites as if they're arguing in good faith, as well as the Swift quote regarding reasoning being unable to correct an ill opinion one didn't reason themselves into...It's left me thinking that perhaps a way to alter the path of those astray is to...
What are some healthy and filling meals you enjoy regularly?
Filling meals always seem tricky to me, healthy or otherwise, so I'm always on the lookout for more things to try.
What laptops around or less than $500 might you recommend?
For some additional details, it'd mainly be used for lighter resource tasks like writing documents, maybe dabbling with some coding, not necessarily aimed at any high end gaming, or heavy video editing. For this reason I'd really dig the keyboard having a num-pad, and while I didn't think I'd have to look for this on laptops of...
What would you do if you were a disembodied consciousness (like a ghost)?
For a start, floating might be really fun, but what else might you get up to?
