Fascinating… my son drew a potato portrait of our family a couple of months ago and I love it 😊

Addendum to fun fact: some guinea pigs make up for the lack of tail with butt cheeks.

Needs punctuation: Why do all these girls shave half their head? Like, it’s fucking cute!

I saw these ads and was surprised at how transparent they are. But maybe only to people who are already on the “let’s not feed the superpower as it falls into outright fascism” train?

Yeah that person getting some pastry is super tall. So?

Maybe the new one will respect real-world use cases and not enforce such silly limitations just because the developers got lazy

Kenya, oh Kenyaaaa! Where the giraffes are and the zebraaare!

I’m intrigued… both about the story and the concept of antirealism

SORRY BROTHER I CAN’T HEAR YOU OVER ALL THIS CLANKING AND CRANKING

gene poo

Indeed, sounds polluted enough 💩

Glory to you… and to your house.

Data: Captain, due to a highly improbable fluctuation of subspace, it appears that all Christmas presents for the neighborhood have quantum tunneled underneath our Christmas tree.

Geordi: if we reverse the polarity of the warp coils and emit precisely positioned nadion bursts from the phaser arrays we could reverse the tunnels and send the gifts back to their original locations.

Riker: We could save Christmas?

Picard: Mr. Laforge, Mr. Worf, make it ho ho ho.

Worf: Sir, I object. I am not a merry man.

Frongt’s answer is great. Another couple of thoughts:

For the domain name, do you want firstlast.com specifically, or could something close work (maybe you already have it and there’s no more choice to be made)? I opted for a derivative of my name in order to keep it professional and for it to not become outdated. If you’re Taylor Robin Smith, would something like tarsm.com work? Without already knowing your name, it appears random. Any service that could reasonably make the connection probably already has your name anyway.

One side note: when choosing your TLD, I suggest one of the “classic” ones – .com, .net, or a country. I’ve run across some forms where the email validator rejects the newer ones like .works. Not a lot, but even one is inconvenient.

For the service naming, I do like you suggested for the name, but I just use a catchall. There’s no address actually created, my mail host just sends anything to my main mailbox – me@mydomain.com receives lemmy@mydomain.com, business@mydomain.com, or farts@mydomain.com. To my knowledge, the only way to tell I actually use a given address is to check my inbox.

That actually makes sense to me — ASL retains the “thumb = 1” system present in most of Europe.

The programmer is using what I’d call an “Anglo” two. It’s what I grew up with in North America.(see the Inglourious Basterds three finger scene for reference)

Technically, the thumb should be out as well. But yeah, that would totally be read as 3. 🥖🫡

I’m an expat living in Denmark and it confused me how this was not only supported but led by the Danish presidency! From a close outsider perspective, it didn’t feel like it matched what I know of Danes, but came from politicians.

My Danish is not very good yet so I’m not very plugged into grassroots feelings. It felt weird that this legislation would be led by a country with an overall high digital literacy and respect for private life. I assumed the rather high trust in public institutions was a significant factor, but it’s not like the people I know are blindly trusting.

Yeah, I’m on Proton with a port forwarded, no problem at all seeding, which is why I’m confused… I moved to Proton to get forwarding after Mullvad dropped it.

I honestly don’t understand your comparison of providers… Proton has port forwarding (with all paid packages afaik) which Mullvad discontinued? Is there something I’m missing?

Exactly… the price of these new materials/CPUs isn’t in the amount of “exotic” elements, which is barely measurable on a per-unit basis, but in the production.

They are highly food motivated, which can be exploited, even unintentionally. Our two have us well trained to provide nibbles, so crinkling of plastic can draw them out of hiding. But yeah, still prey animals with a strong run-and-hide drive.
