@gemlog Don't get me wrong, I'm not that sentimental, I do eat meat myself a lot. And yes, no natural predators does make sense, still, ecosystems should somehow balance themselves out, right? So it's definitely human intervention even if an indirect one. I get how that happened to cats — humans love cat so they just let them breed uncontrollably. USSR used to mess with ecosystems to the point that it became a problem: artificial waterbeds and all, but it was plants which were their "forte".

> Deer are an invasive species on Haida Gwaii
I think I've learned that from you and I know that it's true, but it still doesn't sit right with me. Even cats in Australia — that does sound reasonable. But deer… Oh dear, how could that happen 🤭

Not so sure about that 🤨
@moffintosh Removing Edge does involve a bit of fuckery, but nothing that breaks the system. Just a few of "Remove-AppxPackage" and "WinGet Uninstall". I didn't even have to look it up, pretty straightforward if you know where to look.
It doesn't make Edge less of a garbage of course.
You can also remove WebView2 this way, which is basically same Chrome, but embeddable. Then you can make the directory it installs itself to read-only and that's it — problem solved.
@neural_meduza 23 enigma? Что же случилось 23 года назад? 🤔
@PublicLewdness And no, China is no different. They got all the tech as a gift from the West, but they are hardly pioneering any of it. They'd be perfectly fine without surveillance drones and all that state-wide electronic spying on you, hitting people with a wooden stick would work just as well, tech just made it more scary.

@PublicLewdness
I agree with you, capitalism is hardly the reason for surveillance, but it was capitalism that made it profitable and deadly efficient as a result. USSR was over a decade behind in terms of tech. Why make you buy that nice thin phone to spy on you if you can assign a girl to listen to your calls. And if the girl didn't cut it, they can always send a couple of guys with white hot pliers to listen to your confession. No need for subtle methods if blunt ones work 🤷

Нет, всё верно, настоящим оборудованием уничтожать врагов народа не получается — приходится виртуализировать и уничтожать «условные цели условного противника» — эти хоть никуда не денутся 🤣

При чём, в мире Дюны вроде бы всю технику, потенциально способную иметь мышление, уничтожили. Поэтому и нужны были навигаторы для межгалактических полётов. Вот такой рецепт надёжности 🤷

@neural_meduza Пользуется ли Джон Безусс старым российским приветствием «Россия без усов»?

@sleepyfox@ilyamikcoder.com А это разве не рубрика «Из нашей великой истории» — так сказать, новости из прошлого, примерно из 1820-ых? 😂
@neural_meduza
@thor Well, that is what high standards of living are all about. Believe me, the folk living in wooden buildings in Russia's northern regions doesn't even have time to think about it. If you were, you'd be making music like this. Hard times make the worst things inside us awaken, they don't make you a better man. Most people are stupid, just accept it and move on 🤷
Do EVs even work in your climate? 😄

У нас в основном обратный процесс идёт — превращение людей в клоунов… из фильма «Оно» 😱

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
