I'm pretty sure the thing on the left is a Wolverine. There are definitely badgers in North America that look a lot like the one on the right.

I've seen no mention of forest management in this thread. I'm no expert, and I realise this issue is a few concurrent problems, but it is, at least, partially Canada's fault for allowing clearcut forestry methods on such a broad scale. Old growth forests are somehwat resistant to fires. The undergrowth burns, but many trees do not. The "forests" planted by the forestry industry are essentially monocultures and they burn hot and burn fast.

The last pic might be a bit controversial. That lake destroyed one of the most beautiful places in Utah with countless ancient artifacts lost forever. I would love to see Glen Canyon someday without it being under a lake. Hayduke lives.

I see no mention of what their fish are eating. One issue with farming carnivorous fish is that they need fish to eat and often that comes from fish pellets which are generally small fish caught in the ocean. So fish farming such as this ends up not really farming at all, but rather turning wild fish into farmed fish.

Russia has infiltrated Georgian politics and is suspending their bid to join the EU.

For me, they both suck. I've been on Linux for close to 10 years now and continue to enjoy it more and more.

However, I will say, that if I need to recommend a computer to somebody who knows nothing about computers and doesn't want to know anything, I will recommend Apple. I die a little inside each time though, knowing about their right to repair and privacy policies.

I'm pretty sure the pre-order price was somewhere around $100.

wezterm. Works great on wayland and the documentation is amazing. And it's built in rust if you're one of those people.

Everybody blaming shrinkflation and nobody mentioning how terribly low salmon stocks are right now.

And plumbs.

I think hating equally based on a single metric is never a based take. If being a billionaire makes you evil then surely having 205.2B makes you a whole lot worse (185 times worse) than having 1.1B.

Also you can like things people do while disagreeing with their ways. Sounds like Swift donates a decent sum while being shitty for having a private jet.

Not trying to stick up for Swift, just trying to add nuance to the conversation.

Only go this route if you're looking for a new hobby.

With Windows 10 eol coming up, I installed Bazzite on my buddies computer. All he uses it for is games, browser and editing the occasional document. The transition has been really seemless so far, and he is not technologically adept in the slightest.

I love Steam, but thinking about switching to gog over this. Anybody have any ideas how we can let valve know this isn't okay?

I tried it, and liked it, but stopped using it based on cost. If it was open source or somehow contributed to the open web, I would continue paying for it.

I went searching for a new search engine. I tried SearXNG, but I wasn't impressed with the results. So now I use duckduckgo and ecosia, because if I have to indirectly use google, at least I can get some trees planted in the process.

Fun (not fun) fact: farmed salmon meat is gray, so they put coloring agents in their feed to turn it into the color we expect it to be.

They forgot the part where you sit on the couch waiting for the tea to steep and then remember you made tea 45 minutes later.

I do like Valve and their products, but I can't ignore that they know they have an underage gambling issue and have done nothing to fix it.

Here's a coffeezilla video about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13eiDhuvM6Y
