I mean, if you and I were arguing about whether or not you could fart, and you demonstrated you could fart, yeah.

The members of db0 who don’t want to see and hear Zionists indeed do have the power to change their instance and did, so I don’t get what you mean by saying they don’t have the power to change the world so it’s petty.

Some non-egg laying animal gave birth to an egg laying animal due to a beneficial mutation. So the “chicken” (or rather, any egg laying animal) came first.

This man was specifically not gooning, gooning is about lasting as long as you can.

Nobody removed your choice to change servers

Further evidenced by the fact they’re posting from their non-db0 account after saying they voted on the topic with their db0 account.

Whether or not you agree with db0’s decision, framing it as a mere “petty war” is disingenuous.

It says LITRPG, not RPG. LITRPG is a story genre.

(Edit: this is meant to be informative, not condescending. I hadn’t heard of that genre until semi recently.)

This is why we should use things like GPL.

I can’t find any mention of the specific species of peafowl the man had. My personal guess is that it’s just a stock image of a peacock. None of the articles below mention the species, but one does have the same mugshot.

https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/florida-man-eats-pet-peacocks-dispute-neighbor-feeding-them-craig-vogt-pasco-county-sheriffs-office-tampa-bay/

Quoting the AP article,

The 61-year-old man from Hudson, Florida, was arrested last week on a third-degree felony charge of aggravated animal cruelty, according to an affidavit from the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office.

The man told investigators that he had killed the two peacocks because his neighbor kept feeding them. He had written the neighbor a letter telling her that he would continue to kill his pet peacocks if she kept feeding them “to prove a point,” according to the affidavit, which didn’t say how many peacocks he kept.

The man “admitted to killing the bird by cutting the bird’s neck out of spite, then bleeding it out, and then later eating the bird after cooking it on a frying pan,” the affidavit said.

So it doesn’t seem so simple as him merely getting arrested for deciding to eat one of his peafowl.

Killing an endangered animal and cruelty to animals are separate statutes. So I think it’s safe to safe it’s not an endangered peafowl.

I don’t care enough to pull the man’s actual court records and see if he was also charged with Intentional killing or wounding of any species designated as endangered, threatened, or of special concern.

If anyone wants to sleuth on this further, feel free.

I like em. But I also don’t have to walk near them or where they poo, so take my opinion as you will.

Democracy manifest!

On the one hand, I get this, what’s unexpected is more interesting and newsworthy, but at the same time I do see how it creates problems. Airplane travel is much safer than cars, but people feel unsafe in planes. Part of it is because you aren’t personally in control, sure, but a lot of it is definitely the availability hueristic*. Especially following things like the September 11th attacks and Malaysian Airlines planes going missing.

But a major issue with it is that it leads to us viewing things like car accidents (and heart disease and cancer) as inevitable and a mere fact of life we can’t do anything about. Meanwhile whenever there is an airplane crash it’s very thoroughly investigated and will likely lead to changes in regulations.

Why do you think solar has to be local?

You can double check it but I think solar is cheaper now. I was shocked as well, I thought nuclear was the cheapest still.

Let’s be realistic. Not everyone is going to move to Codeberg. Godot moving to Codeberg would be decentralizing.

You can always checkout the branch and run it yourself.

I think I locked myself out of my account. I’m only logged in on my old computer and I’ve deleted the app from my phone. I saved my security key (I have a session security key field and security-key.txt in my 1password) but Element didn’t seem able to use it to reactivate. I would lose all my chats. Which wouldn’t be the end of the world, but still, I’m just demonstrating that I’m tech savvy enough to save things I’m told to save but I either missed saving a recovery key, wasn’t told to, or the process is just lacking. Regardless, like I said, I’m just demonstrating that it can be tricky.

Using Stoat’s main server raises a privacy concern because it’s UK-based and AFAIK lacks E2EE—UK authorities could seize server data without our knowledge.

When the alternative is Discord that’s no different. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

What’s the inverse Dunning-Kruger where you’re asking for help as a novice but someone thinks you’re implying you know more than you do? That shit happened to me once and I’m still salty. I literally said I was a novice looking for help and they had the audacity to imply I was on mount stupid. Like my brother in Christ I would not be saying I am a beginner looking for help if I was over estimating my abilities and thinking I was an expert.

And you can do this with a USB, it doesn’t need to be a CD/DVD.
