[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?
Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by...
Archaeologists identify the birthplace of the mysterious Yamnaya (www.economist.com)

More and more lately, I see more large companies in hot water for another significant data breach (Dropbox, AT&T). Will this become the norm?

Why is Matrix mentioned more often than XMPP in self hosted forums?
I’m looking into hosting one of these for the first time. From my limited research, XMPP seems to win in every way, which makes me think I must be missing something. Matrix is almost always mentioned as the de-facto standard, but I rarely saw arguments why it is better than XMPP?...

Hey, I’ve been hearing a LOT about the xz backdoor.
