More pet shaming
They're just trying to teach their human to hunt. First step is to demonstrate that the mouse is food. Diva is clearly just getting frustrated with how slow a learner the human is.

Look she's a horrible person and I hate her as much as the next trans, but none of the news coverage on it I've seen so far actually has any evidence she was involved in the invitation. This kind of enthusiastic perpetuation of misinformation isn't ok just because it aligns with our views.

Steam hardware survey for February 2026. What happened? Why did it lose such a big percentage?
It's possible it's just normal sample variance. The hardware survey isn't exactly a census.

We have it.
There's a theory that dreams serve as a sort of simulation mechanism for our brain to think through how to respond to various potential situations. It argues that is why natural disaster nightmares are so prevalent, and why our dreams are so weird (monkey brain does not understand modern society).
Anyways, good for them, I'm glad their brain figured out what to do about hypothetical McWeird.

Does the ping between your eyes and brain increase when you're tired?
I don't think the speed of the electrical impulse would change, but yes reaction time would. Perception is more about our brain processing signals than it is about the signals themselves. What you experience yourself as seeing is not the raw image going into your eyes. Slower processing means you're also less likely to see, as in be aware of, details.
This is why tired driving is incredibly dangerous.

What's the solution to QR code phishing?
Plain, readable urls rather than using shortening services is a step in the right direction, but it won't stop lookalike phishing.

He's basically a Klingon weeb. He learned to Klingon from operas, and has an idealized understanding of honour that is completely out of touch with reality.

Is nonbinary "trans" ?
The definition of transgender is anyone who identifies with a gender other than the one they were assigned at birth. It is therefore an umbrella term that includes nonbinary genders. Being transgender and transitioning are separate things.
That being said, when people are talking about "trans people" they often mean binary trans people (ie men and women), especially in the current political context.
It's also not unheard of for some nonbinary people to be uncomfortable with calling themselves trans, presumably for the associations with binary trans people.
Edit: i should clarify, by this I mean transgender definitionally in the abstract. When talking about a specific person's identity, it just comes down how they identify. If an enby doesn't identify as trans for any reason, don't call them trans.

Humans do indeed contain multitudes, but I think this gives too much credit to the influence of corporate (and their political interference) interests. Enshittification is an active choice made in board rooms. Disinformation is an agenda. They're not inevitable grassroots outgrowths.
Lemmy, curated to avoid AI, curtail corporate news, and where the admins and community are fighting bots and trolls is an example of the reclamation attempt.
And you know what? It's kinda nice here.

Mullvad is great if privacy is your only metric, but it's not unique in that respect and no port forwarding is a serious limitation in this context. I've been looking into alternatives and AirVPN and OVPN both look reputable.

Big streamers argue at CRTC hearing they shouldn't have Canadian content obligations

This isn't a technical issue, it's a sociocultural one. Streaming services fill the same role so some of the same policies still make sense.

I’ll take their chances
Oh that's an interesting one. The expected value is higher if you pull the lever, so based on pure logic you shouldn't.
But I think I would, hoping for that 3/4 where I don't live with the guilt. I guess you can't expected value qualitative factors. But I always roll 1s in Blood Bowl so maybe that's dangerous.

Without port forwarding you can only connect to those who do have it set up. Doing so yourself allows you to be a better citizen of the internet and share with people who don't know what it is.
(Caveat: I am one of those people who don't understand it and am just parroting what was explained to me when I asked about this)
