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!...

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?

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....
[meta] on reddit
I am not and never was a reddit mod for ncd. I never even had a verified reddit account. I’m happy to add the reddit mods as mods here if they want(pending community approval)....

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....

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...

What was your first experience using Linux? How old were you? Stick around or did you go back to windows before eventually circling back to Linux?
I’ll go first, I took my mom’s college textbooks which came with discs for a couple distros and failed to install RHEL before managing to get Fedora Core 4 working. The first desktop environment I used was KDE and despite trying out a few others over the years I always come back to plasma. Due to being like 12, I wanted to...
Best alternative to selfhosting email? E.g. email hosting provider for a custom domain
Hey guys,...
is there a study out there to calculate the "kill count" of every day things?
I’m going to horribly oversimply this. For example. Say I am wearing a shirt a cheap one for Wal-Mart....
Should I have separate Lemmy and Mastodon accounts?
I am still learning this whole thing and I ended up creating accounts here and on Mastodon. Is that necessary or do I automatically have a Mastodon username with my Lemmy? I used the same stuff on both accounts, can I merge them or something?...
How will Lemmy handle illegal content?
How will Lemmy handle illegal content like drug dealing, child porn, snuff movies etc? On Reddit, the corporation is accountable so they will make an effort to ensure non of this exists on their platform. And they would face legal troubles if they failed to act....
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?...
