What's up with this concern over a company called Apeel?

A friend of mine who is deep into conspiracies started sending me stuff on this company called Apeel all concerned about … pesticides? I don’t really have the time to watch all the videos and Instagram reels, so what is the issue with this company? Is it a legit concern or a crazy conspiracy? or something inbetween?

Looking for experiment design advice (Electroencephalogram)

Cat: So, to preface: soon we’ll be ordering an ElectroEncephalogram (EEG) headset. The reason for this is because we’re a plural system, and want brainwave data on what happens when we do various system stuff. Pretty obviously there’s going to be some bias involved on account of who we are, but we’re going to try being...

Do any modern desktop environments support a grid layout of virtual desktops?

Greetings, I come as an Ubuntu/Unity user and what has kept me around is the wonderful support for a 3x3 virtual desktop setup and hotkeys to move around the desktops in 2d space. Does anything like this exist in any of the modern DE’s? I would love to try it out with cinnamon, plasma, gnome etc but there are so many and I...

To those who are concerned about datamining by Meta through Threads

This has been repeated several times now, but an important reminder: Meta doesn’t need Threads to mine your data. Lemmy has been designed to be very easy to scrape due to its open APIs. Don’t worry yourself: Meta can, will, and is already scraping all of your data from the past and the future. They may not be able to see...

Is there a better way to hide posts other than voting or showing comments?

Right now, if I want to hide a post, I do one of two things: I either upvote the post (because I feel guilty downvoting just for hiding it) or click on the comments, forcing loading more data, even if I don’t care for the comments of a meme picture, for instance....

How to create a sandbox folder, restricting write access to all files contained in it to that folder itself?

Hello! Let’s say I have an executable file, but I’m unsure of the source, and may contain bugs/errors/malwares/bad things that can mess up my machine. I want to execute it anyway, but I want to make sure that it does not mess things up. Is it possible to create a “sandbox” folder, place the executable inside it, and then...

Setting up selfhosting without a terminal

Every single time I talk to my friends, whom also want an *arr/Plex/VPN/Home Assistant setup like I’ve got, I can see the fear in their eyes when I mention Debian, Docker, and the terminal. It could be a case of “git gud”, but I want to help them out with a setup like this, but with as low friction as possible. Ideally...

If you ask someone "why?" enough about a subject you don't agree on, eventually both of you will come to a conclusion

Many hold strong beliefs and opinions, however not many know the roots of their belief. If a person agrees to explore it, both of you will learn something new and fascinating. The problem is finding someone who wants to think and ask the questions. This goes for both. Many want to “convince” someone, but how much do you...
