Is putting on a 'dumb voice' when quoting someone you disagree with actually a form of poisoning the well?
And does this unfairly paint them as less agreeable than they would be if you presented what they said with a normal voice?

Let’s say I decide to go to a nice restaurant for a meal. The dish comes out, and I ask for a salt shaker before I even taste it (I never have, btw). That is normally considered an insult to the chef or you are pegged as a neanderthal diner....
There is this common narrative I see all the time, implying that we as individuals are empowered to choose and manifest our own destiny, and this comes up often in privacy discussions....
I’m sure a lot of people already know it, but for those who don’t, it’s simply the largest collection of free stuff on the Internet. You can check it out at fmhy.pages.dev or fmhy.net. Have a great time!
Hi folks,...
The problem:...
Censorship is absolutely rampant on Lemmy. I don’t post particularly controversial stuff, but I am an active commenter and I’ve noticed that mods will just wipe my comments or those of others on a whim. I think this is a huge issue and one of the biggest downsides about switching from reddit. I very rarely had comments...
In my case it’s india.
I get that it’s open source provided you use codium not code but I still find that interesting
Hey there, I need the techies among you: I got an Arr stack running on a VPS with lots of storage, but have my Audiobookshelf set up on my regular VPS where it has been running for quite a while now. So I’d like to keep it where it is basically and mount the audiobooks folder from Readarr in the torrent VPS into my other VPS....
After my last post on here asking about convenient streaming options at higher resolutions, I got a few comments recommending Stremio with Torrentio and Real Debrid....
Tried to use OSMAnd last week to navigate around on vacation. For some reason it seems to be incapable of searching for house numbers, which is an instant dealbreaker. I’m very confused as to how or why this is a thing on such a mature product....
Looking to set up a basic static website. What domain registrar should I go with? Would prefer something that has more privacy obviously. Any recommendations on hosting services (cannot host on own hardware right now)?...
Say you want to message an admin of another instance. You can’t look up who they are unless you go to that instance and have a look in the sidebar. You can click the admin to see their user page, but can’t message them without opening that user page on your home instance....

During covid times I heard many interesting conspiracy predictions such as the value is money will fall to zero, the whole society will collapse, the vaccine will kill 99% of the population etc. None of those things have happened yet, but can you add some other predicitons to the list?...

I filed a GDPR deletion request with Twitter a couple of weeks ago. It was quite a challenge to find a way to contact Twitter (for anyone who wants to you can do so via: secure.ethicspoint.com/…/default_reporter.asp) - but I finally succeded. I did not simply wanted to deactivate my account I want all of my data to be deleted...
I usually make doubles, but often split them to make a milk drink for my partner and have a single for myself. For some reason, those split singles tend to taste better. Same weight in, same time, same yield, just half the coffee....
Hey! So I posted today with my main account, @Stamets, to !memes but after an hour it showed no signs of activity. No upvotes, no downvotes, no nothing. So I checked the modlog just in case and there seemed to be no sign that anything was removed or that I was banned. So I made a post to this community on that same account...
This is a very small update, but hopefully it’s helpful! As I mentioned in the last update, I’m a little tied up with other commitments right now, so I haven’t had a chance to implement the other features on the to-do list. This one was requested the other day, and it was simple to add since I could reuse a lot of existing...
