chocobo13z,

I can’t imagine removing a healthy part of the endocrine system has good results in the long term. If it’s an option, perhaps an ovarian preserving spay, or a vasectomy, would be in order. Though not many vets in the US offer such procedures. If only we could be more like Germany…

chocobo13z,

The fact that visual collage can exist so easily, and yet audio collage is facing an uphill battle, some 40 years later, feels like a big indicator that copyright law in the US still needs a massive overhaul

chocobo13z,

We low-level accidentally Day the Earth Stood Still remake Gort ourselves, basically?

chocobo13z,

Nah, they keep getting younger and younger, the girls stay the same age. Benjamin Button gets away with being creepy because reasons 😂

chocobo13z,

I still maintain that The Jungle should be required reading in high school in the US, but I think it will never happen

chocobo13z,

I bet this is one of Sam Widge’s recipes

chocobo13z,

I wonder if that’s because there’s a high rate of overall mortality, i.e. they’re only living past 30 sometimes?

chocobo13z,

Makes sense. Thanks for the info!

chocobo13z,

It’s part of one of the meme formats to double the last word of the previous line for humorous effect.

chocobo13z,

External RAM is cheap. Pen and paper

chocobo13z,

By their powers combined, they become wannabe MiniTru!

chocobo13z,

Noo! I was going to eat that mummy!

chocobo13z,

Maybe I want to root for the unprecedentedly forward thinking companies, because it’s like a glimpse of what a lot of companies probably look like in other countries, especially the Nordic countries, that haven’t had a history that led to their governments being able to be used as a tool to stifle competition, unlike the US

chocobo13z,

Ooh, was there a game that did that?

chocobo13z,

“We’re owl exterminators!”

chocobo13z,

Sounds like you may be unfamiliar with Tijuana Bibles, as they were called. You might find their history interesting.

chocobo13z,

Even if they knew, they probably wouldn’t care :)

chocobo13z,

I swear every accusation from the alt-right is a confession

chocobo13z,

I’m still disappointed about when I found out that one Soul Coughing song wasn’t about con men: “You get the angles, and I’ll get the rest”, but the lyrics were actually “you get the ankles, and I’ll get the wrists”

chocobo13z,

So, if cilantro tastes to me like the smell of Irish Spring, I have the gene? I definitely still enjoy it, though. Funny enough, I also enjoyed one brand of Sangria that tasted exactly like the smell of the floor cleaner from my last job.

chocobo13z,

Usually called a fursuit, I think even for non-mammalian characters.

chocobo13z,

Sometimes avoiding the Walmartians feels worth the markup

chocobo13z,

As someone using it as a daily driver, I wish you the best of luck. If you stick with it, I expect you’ll learn a lot about what goes on behind the scenes in other distros that have a lot pre-configured, like greeters, compositors (or DEs and WMs), etc.

chocobo13z,

Soft shell lobster, though, right? Granted, I’d think it’s less crunchy, but still…

chocobo13z,

I believe shrimp are closer to isopods (roly polies and such), though I may be mistaken

chocobo13z,

People lived into their thirties for thousands of years, though

chocobo13z,

Only a rather small group of people were even able to consume milk past infancy without negative health effects, and that’s mostly because they were the ones that survived the famine that necessitated surviving such a diet. Lactase persistence is a recessive gene

chocobo13z,

Wow, here’s something I would have expected from Reddit, not Lemmy. I’ll just be a weirdo, not funding the horrors we subject cattle in order to obtain something that the population of only a few countries can even consume past infancy, of which the original need was borne of desperation. But you like it, so you do you, and to hell with everyone else, human or otherwise.

chocobo13z,

I can afford Bud if I want it, but you can’t put a price on a lifetime ban from the ranch

chocobo13z,

I don’t have much money right now to donate to help fund my favorite content creators, though I absolutely would, but I do have a lot of technical knowledge and I could donate compute time, disk storage space, and/or bandwidth to host redundant copies of data for a given web service (akin to seeding Torrents, or ZeroNet zites)

chocobo13z,

Chromium is open source, too, but so many projects putting all their eggs in the same basket gives Google carte blanche to push any standard they want as a new de-facto standard before the rest of us can decide on whether it’s ready or needs changes or is just bad.

chocobo13z,

Not too long ago, when Fracturiser was a concern on Minecraft, and I read up on it, I got a chuckle when I read that stage 2 was a systemd service, and therefore couldn’t have run on my machine even if it had gotten that far (of course, I still checked for signs of infection)

chocobo13z,

I’m a Tridactyl person, myself

chocobo13z,

It gets further complicated by things like OneDrive. My mom was surprised a few weeks ago by how much stuff was being saved to the cloud instead of in a local folder, because Windows doesn’t make it particularly obvious when one is in the local Documents, or the OneDrive Documents

chocobo13z,

The one and only time I tried Limewire. I feel spoiled these days with Soulseek

chocobo13z,

Got me thinking about Knorkator’s “Böse”

chocobo13z,

Having certain beliefs with regards to the sanctity of remains should not be conflated with basic human decency.

chocobo13z,

If it were possible, I’d like to continually donate a given sum of money to an account that split the proceeds between the content creators and the people hosting. Granted, while I’m unemployed, the best I can do currently would be to donate hosting directly

chocobo13z,

Counterpoint: most Javascript on the web is obfuscated to all hell. While technically you can see the code that’s running, it being obfuscated is definitely not in the spirit of FOSS, and largely the open source components of servers are being used to prop up all the closed-source stuff reaching end users.

chocobo13z,

My point is more that all these open source tools have been used by many, many, many sites to build a series of black boxes on top, for which there is no source available. I suppose one easy example is the existence of EME in open source browsers, the existence of which being the reason I actually don’t run a pre-compiled binary of Firefox, instead building it myself, with EME not built in.

chocobo13z,

I’m somewhat curious as to whether you plan to switch to another browser when Google finally pushes Manifest v3 and/or Web Integrity API

chocobo13z,

That’s probably mostly Flutter, which is slightly different scope, though still Google

chocobo13z,

Gecko, the underlying engine behind Firefox, is an entirely different code base from Chromium

chocobo13z,
