Remember how much impact a few posts can have
By browsing the current top of the day, besides the usual posts in Programmer Humor and the tech communities, you can notice a few posts in !comicstrips by @otter...
But we used it at my last job!
They hired a new hotshot engineering manager (the kind that makes physical things). He hates the engineering software we run. I don’t blame him, it’s crap software. He constantly complains about how slow it its. He’s right again. Crap Software Vendor says it’s my platform that makes their software slow and buggy. I’m...
What could happen if you would just walk into a police station and say: I want to turn myself in and I take the 5th.
Of course without committing a crime before and without saying anything else.
I had an epiphany 💆♂️

Can you recommend contemporary music artists without lyrics?

Where did this HAARP nonsense I keep hearing about come from?
So, I heard several people now mention HAARP as the cause for all the natural disasters that have been happening lately. And here I thought the cause was rampant pollution and global warming!...

Hello!...
Banner / Logo Contest
Hey everyone!...
TIL that I saved a 13 year old post from the old place that lists all the free web learning courses. He updated it for quite a while. Why don't we fix it?
General Sites:...
Laguna.chat has a lot of really racist communities
Just saw a post on reddit alternatives and there was a comment inviting users to laguna.chat. I went and checked it out and the trending communities list included, ‘jews did 911’, ‘killnirs’, ‘hitler was right’, and 'Fuck Nirs’. One of the user accounts was u/HangNi***rs....
How do companies know if I use cracked software or assets for my personal gig?
For context, I want to run a small personal gig (offering stuff on Patreon). Nothing too fancy....
Why so many *arr services? Why not 1 service that works with all media types?
I am almost done building my first self hosted streambox through Docker. That’s a total of 16 instances, each fulfilling 1 specific role....
When did paid podcasts become a thing?
Half the podcasts in my queue have suddenly become paid subscriptions. Meanwhile the overall industry is losing listeners. Seems like a lousy business model to not offer a free with ads feed. What a bizarre trend....
If your door was a pillow it would probly be better to slap it than knock on it
Microsoft Edge, anyone?
I recently discovered that you can get Microsoft Edge for Linux (🤢🤮) and am curious… does anyone here use Edge for Linux, or have you ever? What was your reasoning for using it?...
What are your experiences with motorcycle gangs?
Hells Angels are moving into my area for the first time. I have a generally negative view of them, but have some friends who feel otherwise. I would love to hear your experiences related to the Angels specifically, but “1%” clubs as well.
Looking for a Spotify replacement
By that I mean randomly generated playlists. Based on either one or multiple tags, songs or artists. Finite or infinite....
I just realized how incredible it is that we don't have toes growing out of our ears.
AFAIK it all boils down to the fact that during embryonal development our cells, which at that point were just a blob of undifferentiated autonomous chemical machines, somehow managed to unanimously agree upon the cardinal directions (up-down, left-right, front-back) for future development - and thanks to this, we don’t have...
When was the last time a dream made you feel genuinely happy, and what was it about?
About 3 years ago I dreamt that I was in a downtown Chicago office interviewing for a fancy new job. For whatever reason my mom came along for the interview and was patiently waiting for me in the office lobby. About half way through the interview it began to dawn on me that my mom passed away over a decade ago. This realization...
Go on. Do it. I WANT you to do it.
Question to those not in the USA, and who have lived outside the USA.
I’ve been thinking about something and want to check an assumption I have. I only hear directly from other people in the USA, and interract with the global community through memes. How are the gun regulations/laws different from yours in terms of strictness, and do you wish there was more or less where you live?...
Do i need an pirate hat to enter a torrent?
Just like hackers need an black hoodie. And where can I get one? Is a simple costume one enough or do I need an expensive one?...
Why do you use Linux?
With the widespread support for Steam/Valve on this forum because of their contributions to making Linux gaming easier, I’m now confused as to why people here are using Linux in the first place....
The youngest generations are probably like the people of Easter Island when they were cutting down the last tree.
They know that it should be the opposite to save their island but the king and his court won’t listen to them. The king’s whole lineage cut down as much as they wanted, so he’s having a tantrum that it’s not working out the same for him. He’s doing it anyway. Entitlement can do that to a fellow.
