@djsumdog @Effortless when i posted about the first instances of women being chokeslammed by the police people on fedi literally just told me 'oh thats from victoria, they deserve it' so.

no voting system saves you from the fact humans are just literally lawful evil.

Kinda surprised and deeply disappointed with the state of #RSS support by source code platforms.

What I want: subscribe to releases/tags on some repos to be able to track them in a RSS feed

What I get:
— #GitHub supports it, but it's not documented. There is one single Medium blog post about this feature.
— #GitLab doesn't support it, and I couldn't find an issue for it.
— #Gitea has an issue open since 2017, not implemented.

>canada gov freezing bank accounts of anyone who funded the nonviolent trucker protest

The free world is fucked and people are cheering it on

university compsci clubs in the 90s: we host our own IRC server, email infrastructure, ftp, shared UNIX computer, NNTP...

university compsci clubs in 2022: google suite is too hard so someone here has a Discord you could join if you know who to ask

@velartrill some admins administrate computers, some administer severe beatings to the users

tfw you just fucking love science

we oppose racism in all of its forms. sometimes it may take the form of a little old lady asking you for help to get across the street, but do not be fooled. you must strike hard and with great vigilance.

Huh, looks like Reddit went down. .. I hope it stays that way, forever.

No more Ye Old Fighting Cocks

reposting another fav, this one from last year - a bald-faced yellowjacket (D. maculata) who along with her sisters had been feasting on fermented late-season figs in the tree in my side yard. she had a little too much to make it home that night, so decided to sleep it off on my front porch windowsill. it's interesting to watch a wasp sleep! you can tell their depth and rate of breathing by the pulsing of their abdomen, as you can by the motion of a mammal's ribcage, and it's plain from that and their occasional stirring and settling that they go through a cycle of sleep stages rather similar to ours

do wasps dream? we don't yet know how to ask, but i see no reason to doubt that they do; while unlike ours in many ways, their brains are complex to a degree many might find surprising, and by what i've seen of their behavior social wasps in particular are considerably smarter and more thoughtful than most humans give them credit for. if dreams are an epiphenomenon of a brain at rest, why assume wasps *don't* dream? and likewise, if dreams serve some purpose as yet unclear such as memory consolidation - well, wasps remember, too, as i learned when some P. metricus foragers began to use me as a landmark when navigating to a fall webworm nest at which we spent much time together

i wonder what their dreams are like to them. are they like ours to us, or very different? quotidian, or esoteric, or both at times, or neither? perhaps i'll find out someday.
