I mean, if it gets solved, leaving it up would be better, particularly if the reason for it is something that might happen to someone else

Such a mammalian post rolls eyes and licks them

Mastodon on my pen name.

Piefed for the hell of it.

Used to use one of the “key” forks, but the instance I was on shut down, and I never went back.

Haven’t really bothered with the rest because they don’t fit any needs, and tend to be based around things that aren’t my personal interests enough to use regularly. Peertube, I’ll never put videos up, but I use it when other people link to it.

That’s really it. I don’t want/need the kind of services friendica is for, nor whatever the name of the Instagram clone is, and loops is totally not my thing.

I don’t have anything against them, mind you, I just don’t use those kind of platforms

Makes sense to me. There’s a lot to be said for specialists handling bulk labor like that. Someone with experience will do it faster, and better, so even were you inclined to raise for meat to save a little cost vs labor, it might not make sense to for exactly that reason.

We have pets, the eggs are just a side benefit. I keep thinking about adding a few working girls what with egg prices, but not only is that a big bump in labor, it’s a big outlay for setting up for that. Since our two provide enough for us, I just can’t see gearing up on a hypothetical that I could provide for friends and family.

I love the silly little critters though :)

They’re looking healthy and happy.

Those food, layers, or pets?

My damn problem is invasives.

We used to have an all native yard. But as my disability has gotten worse, maintaining that state has gotten prohibitive. Then that fucking hurricane messed things up, and it’s pretty much wrecked in the terms of native plantings now.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s actually really pretty, all wild and green. But trying to get rid of stuff like kudzu is not an easy task, and it isn’t the only thing that’s taken advantage.

I dunno, I would say that I’m pretty desperate for some long pork.

To be fair, pretty much any bird that isn’t exclusively an herbivore will do that if the opportunity arises. Birds be vicious little predators fo sho.

Hell, there’s a cardinal that hangs around our house, and I’ve seen him eating a dead bird before. Well, picking pieces of it off, then flying into the shrubbery, then coming back in a few seconds. I assume he was eating it, since they nest in a different section of the yard. So I wouldn’t even be surprised if pretty much any bird would go after unprotected chicks if the chance arises.

And all of them will eat eggs, afaik, if they can crack them, our they find one cracked already.

It’s a common joke to refer to their dinosaur ancestry, but even those cute like songbirds have a savage side, just like their more intimidating kin.

Ay. Ay. You lookin mighty tasty there. You wanna hop in this here vat o bbq sauce?

That’s so damn cool to see! I thought I was fucking crazy!

Years and years ago, I made friends with some crows. So they’d hang around our yard a lot, kind of like their home base. I’d see that kind of thing, and wonder wtf was going on, but any time I’d tell somebody, it was like I was trying to prank them or something (I mean, not without reason, I am known for telling tall tales that turn into absurdity. I always fess up at the end, but it does mean I get the side eye a lot).

But nobody I ever told about it had ever seen it.

I’ve even seen jays do it a couple of times.

Shit, if you think you’re mad now, wait until you run into someone that’s still running that line of bullshit in 2025

As a southern man, I absolutely love this meme

Shoulda stuck to the rivers and lakes that it was used to

The fuck did anyone expect?

Could be lol

Eh, it worked for me the best back when I was new to Linux, and I’ve never tried anything that was better, just different since then.

I went through the usual Ubuntu experiment, but their baked in DE at the time was just unpleasant. Tried manjaro? I think, it’s hard to recall if that was before or after that initial flurry of trying things out. But there were a half dozen that got suggested back on the Linux for noobs subreddit when win10 came along amd I was noping out.

Mint did the trick. Cinnamon as a DE did what I wanted, how I wanted it. It came with the stuff I needed to get started, and the repo had the stuff I wanted without having to add anything. It worked with all my hardware without jumping through hoops.

I’ve tried other stuff and like I said, nothing better, just different, so why screw around?

Tbh, that’s also how I feel about pretty much everything I tried though. If I had run into one of the others that happened to “fit” the same way back then, I’d likely still be with it because there’s really not a ton of difference in day to day use between any of them. The de matters more in that regard, imo.

I mean, I don’t find it hard to believe that some dude started a cult and then his followers kept exaggerating his stories for years after he was dead.

Eh, I get the rule. On the surface, it seems stupid because the subject of rom options is pretty integral to privacy

However, discussion of roms tends to always devolve into what amounts to fanboyism at some point. You end up with a lot of “yeah, but” and “but they are/aren’t” that covers the same ground every single time, and users have to wade through the bullshit to get to anything useful.

It’s the same conversation every time, so you reach a point where it’s better to just outright ban rom/os so that other issues aren’t drowned by that.

It’s damned if you don’t damned if you do, there’s no good choice, so you make the choice that’s less hassle on average

Plants love Brawndo!

Ahhh, the gICEtapo goes high tech
