Hi comrades! I've been slowly getting into country music lately. I like Sierra Ferrell, Margo Price, Sharon Van Etten, Drive By Truckers, etc. Im curious if there are any country/folk singers that support Palestine or have called for a ceasefire?

I'm only asking, cause I've been getting into crust/anarchopunk lately. Here's some bands if you'd like to listen: Witch Hunt, Aus Rotten, dirt, sacrilege, pisscharge, crush all tyranny. The last two bands only sing in spanish. Oh, and Subhumans is also good.
Hi, comrades! First off, I'd like to say I'm happy to have found this community. One of the subreddits I perused was RABM, so I'm glad lemmy has one that's similar. I would look for suggestions on music to buy from that subreddit. Anyways, does crust/anarchopunk count since the politics are similar?
Hello! I've posted about the Arc browser before, and the browser just got an update. I went into settings to see if any of the google stuff was there, and it mustve got removed, because they revamped the whole thing. You can customize your browser card now, and edit your arc account. I'm very glad they removed (or hid) most of the google stuff.

Hi! I'm learning web development from a video and in the video, the guy installs an addon for chrome called HTML5 Outliner. I'm either using Librewolf or Ungoogled Chromium as my main browser, and I can't seem to install the addon in Ungoogled Chromium. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Is there a setting in Ungoogled Chromium that I need to enable? Anyone know how to bypass this and install the addon?

I'll have to try that out!
Hi. I'm seriously considering using Arc as my main browser. It's based on Chrome, though, so it's heavily google-fied. But! It's similar to Vivaldi, in the sense it's unique. The tab tree is on the left and you have a split screen option in the task bar area. You can add chrome extensions also, which is great. It's semi-aimed at power users. I haven't discovered all features yet, so far I'm pretty impressed. It updates almost daily/regularly. I'm definitely gonna put it in my roster of main browsers.
Hi. Floorp released an update today, and posted something interesting also. Floorp posted the parent company Ablaze, wanted to monetize Floorp while protecting the privacy of its users. I disagree, because I enjoy Floorp being free. What do you think though?

Ecosia is a nonprofit and donates money from ad revenue to plant trees
Hi! I recently discovered a couple eco-friendly apps to try out. But, I'm also wondering if there are any eco-friendly social networks out there? I haven't had much luck in my search, maybe people here have heard something? Here are the apps I discovered: Ecosia: Eco-friendly search engine. It's very well known. Everytime you search, you plant trees and in the app you can see how many trees you plant. OceanHero: Similar concept to Ecosia. Eco-friendly search engine/browser on android. The search engine pays groups to clean up trash in the ocean. Ailuna: Eco-friendly app that gives you tips to be more eco friendly and you can meet up with other people and join eco-friendly groups. Earth Hero: Similar to Ailuna. You get points for every eco-friendly task you do. It gives you suggestions to be more eco-friendly and you get points when you complete a task Last one is Earth5R: From what I gather, it's a eco-friendly social network, you can sign up for eco-friendly jobs and the like. Give them a try and share them with family and friends. I will be using metal straws and a thermos today when I get my coffee.

I've been using Vivaldi the past couple days, and I'm liking it a lot. I like that it has a memory saver now. The workspace feature is pretty cool too. What does Lemmy think of Vivaldi? Fave feature? Bonus question: Do you use crypto browsers like Brave?
Hi. So when I'm watching a tv show or movie, and it hits me in the feels, I will think something like "Oh, this movie is wholesome, or this tv show is wholesome" Even if it has swearing in it, as long as the message is a good one. I've been on Lemmy now a couple days, and I rate lemmy super-duper wholesome. Maybe it was the question/thread I asked, but the responses I got were very nice. Lots of people love to cuddle dogs as self-care and by golly, that's just as wholesome as it gets.

I classify anything that helps your mood as self care lol. Drinking tea would be self care. Flossing helps your teeth stay healthy so I figured it counts.

I think you're right that the anger is misguided. I also think it stems from trauma, but that's just me. It's like the old saying "hurt people hurt people" and right-wingers are a bunch of repressed, hurt people.
Hello. Let's talk about self-care. Who practices self-care regularly? I've been making an absolute effort to practice self-care, and it's definitely improving my mood. I floss, meditate, do qigong, breathwork, etc. Yes, flossing is self-care, take care of yo teefs. What does everyone do for self-care? Bonus question: Where else can I post questions besides Ask Lemmy?
sinewyshadow 5 months ago • 100%
Honestly, I've been trying hard to practice self-care, so I believe in loving and being kind to yourself. Im also very left leaning, close to socialist/anarchist ideals/beliefs.

Maybe it's just my way of thinking, but if someone says "you can't do that" I usually stop doing that and shut down, because it's not allowed. I have autism, so that my play a role in it, but my go to response is to just shut down usually and stop doing that thing or avoid it all together.

mbin and kbin are both top notch sites.
Hello! I've been searching for a reddit alternative, and yes, I've picked Lemmy and Raddle, but here's the thing. My morbid curiosity is perked up, and a part of me wants to join the "free speech" alternatives, like Saidit, Poal, etc. What's wrong with me that I want to join toxic places? I mean, yes I'll find a whole new perspective (albeit wrong), on political topics, but a part of me wants to be the antagonist, and post lefty memes, and music with a left-leaning message (bands from r/rabm) I know that's like kicking the hornet's nest, so you don't need to start in with "that's a bad idea" I know it is. My main point/question is, is it wrong to join a site with potential hate speech? Does it make someone a bad person?
Hi! Recently exiled reddit user, here. I'm curious what other alternatives to reddit there are, besides Lemmy, and Raddle, of course. Also, imho, Phuks is a good alternative, there's no hate-speech (that I'm aware of) and people are pretty respectful. Anyways, let's hear your suggestions! Thank you!

To my knowledge, on The Convo Couch, they treated the guest with respect and as an informed source on the topic.
sinewyshadow 10 months ago • 100%
Yes. I'm also worried they're getting fed dogwhistles or right-wing talking points from these people. Danny Haiphong used to be a journalist for Black Agenda Report which is very very left/socialist, and now he's having alt-right content creators on. Although, to be fair, he was a correspondent with Jimmy Dore, so he was already questionable.
Hi. This question is for leftists mostly. If you watch a content creator that's on the left, but they have a questionable guest on, do you continue to watch that creator or do you find a different creator to watch? I sometimes watch The Convo Couch and Danny Haiphong, but they've had very questionable guests on and I can't bring myself to support guests like that. Bonus question: Do you watch non-left channels?
Hello! I was a big fan of Atom editor, and I'm very glad that Pulsar is continuing the legacy of Atom. My concern/question is, how in the heck do I install plugins? Specifically, plugins for python? And also, is there a terminal/space to run Python code like there is in VSCodium? In VSCodium, there's a play button and code runs automatically in the built in terminal. Any help is appreciated!
Hello comrades! I figured I might have a bit more scientific responses here than Reddit, or maybe the same. So, for the longest damn time, I was really into adaptogenic teas, it gave me a bit of a buzz but in a good way. More focused I should say. I also have autism, and I tried a cordyceps tea and I didn't feel as autistic when drinking the tea if that makes sense? I'm pretty dumb when it comes to scientific things, like the brain and stuff, so please help me understand. If I try adaptogenic teas again, will it take away more of my autism, as the adaptogenic rewire your brain? Also, I'm confused on the whole neurprotective thing. Does neuroprotective mean it'll protect my autistic brain? Or what exactly does that mean? P.S. I'm NOT trying to get rid of my autism AT ALL. I know it's in your genes/dna, but then how do adaptogens work? Bonus question: How long do adaptogenic teas stay in your system, and do your nerve pathways go back to normal when you stop taking adaptogens?
Hello. I bought a new computer recently, and the computer I'm replacing is still good, but it only works as a tablet now. I'm considering putting Linux on it, but would it be worth it or should I get rid of my old computer? Thanks!
Hi. I started doing the WHM (Wim Hof Method, for those not in the know) a couple years ago, it was going great. Recently, however, I started getting panic attacks, and I figured the WHM was to blame, so I have stopped doing it altogether. However, I've found ways to manage my panic attacks/paranoia, and now my brain's like "Well, since you're calmer, try the WHM again" And I'm weary it will trigger my panic attacks again? Should I give it a try or stick to what I've been doing? I should mention, I got back into yoga, and that's helped DRAMATICALLY with my anxiety/panic attacks. Which is why I'm considering doing the WHM again, because, apparently, the WHM will bring up past traumas, but yoga helps to get rid of that trauma, so in my head, if I combine the two, I'll be releasing that trauma? If that makes sense.
Hi. I just started buteyko method, and it's supposed to relax you and release nitric oxide when you do it. I did a session earlier, and I started seeing visuals/swirling of colors in my eyes. I'm pretty sure it was the nitric oxide being released. Are there any major side effects to nitric oxide? Could I get super high if my body released enough of it?
Hi! I just got a new computer recently, and I'm concerned about browser security and security in general. Any recommendations for a good secure browser? Preferably open source.
Hi lemmy! So this is kind of controversial, but hear me out. Let me start off by saying I've been on a few reddit alternatives, as I've mentioned in different posts, and I've seen language that is very hateful. I was disgusted by the language, but after seeing it over and over again, I just got sad. These people only know fear and hatred. I'm not sure anyone's shown them kindness. Should we be kind to those that we disagree with or that use hateful speech?
Hi. So the weirdest, most annoying argument I've had just happened. Some alt-righter's logic was "Well, if I use this obscene word a lot, then i'm using it liberally, and if enough people hear it, then thAt's PRoGREssive" Dafuq crack are you smoking bro? Using hate speech/profanities/obscenities is neither liberal or progressive. Am I wrong? Explain this warped logic to me? Chuds are quite illogical. Also, I'm a bit buzzed and I can make more sense than a right-wing chud.
Hi Lemmy. I'm looking for video recommendations, by leftist/anarchist/socialist, etc content creators. Either debunking alt-right propaganda or deradicalizing alt-right. I know this might sound foolish, but I want to post videos/news articles on a site that's overrun with alt-right and neo-nazi/white pride identifying people, in an attempt to troll/deradicalize them. If anyone's interested, the site is communities.win

Both my parents are 70.
Hi Lemmy. I'm wondering if eating healthy or at least getting enough nutrients, would change a person's outlook on certain things. Like I'm trying out keto and certain foods like avocadoes calm my mind down. I guess I'm asking if someone followed a keto diet or vegetarian/vegan lifestyle, would that shape their political ideology? I'm probably being stupid, but it's just a thought I had. Discuss away!
Hi, Lemmy! So I made two mistakes. But I'd like to inform Lemmy, that there is a free speech version of the Lemmy code being used to throw racial slurs around. That instance is called goatpen.co I advise you not to go there, as you will come across racial slurs on the front page. So my first mistake was asking what people on discussions.app like to use for different social networks. One instance, as mentioned above was goatpen.co. My curiousity got the better of me, and I went to check it out. That was my second mistake. That place is a cesspool. That's all I wanted to say. Someone or some company is using lemmy's code to host a lemmy-clone and make it a cesspool.
Hi Lemmy! I'm curious which browser everyone uses? I'm currently on Librewolf, but I try out a variety of different browsers. What browser(s) do you prefer? Do you think blockchain or web3 browsers are the future of browsers?
Hello Lemmy! So, let's talk free speech, and social media networks. I'm quite curious why Lemmy and Raddle seem to be the only two (as far as I can tell) alternatives to reddit that are not as toxic compared to other alternatives, like Communities.Win, or ruqqus. I'm aware that Lemmy has a no bigot/hate speech rule, which is great. Raddle seems to support free speech also, but to an extent. How come some alternatives survive and others slowly decline?
Hi Lemmy! Forgive me if this has been asked before, but is there a community to discuss social networks/alternatives to reddit?
