Dude, share your cold fusion reactor and save the planet!

Also enable Game Mode which typically turns off some of the smart TV functions.

Yup, it’s no different than people retiring from the positions that could stop the current administration. You’re just making it easier for them.

Especially since the financial institutions can fuck up your life way more than the Mafia.

How much are you putting on your card each month? If it’s a relatively low amount, that might be a contributing factor.

I never said it was

You can definitely hold atoms that close together, but it tends to have bad results.

What a lucky person to have ‘knowing you’re going to throw up’ as the worst feeling they’ve experienced.

Man, you really enjoy being confidently incorrect, don’t you.

You’re right about one thing, though, this isn’t some zero sum issue. You can definitely acknowledge cats are an ecological threat without taking away from the fact that humans are also an ecological threat.

B is the reason that A is wrong.

In fact, a project is more likely to get less efficient with a larger user base because that typically means more features which increases complexity.

Being open source and having a lot of users does not guarantee you have more devs contributing to the project or that those devs are working towards efficiency.

Microsoft has way more devs working on it as a full time job than any open source project does.

They have been implicated in the extinction of several species and local extinctions, such as the hutias from the Caribbean, the Guadalupe storm petrel from the Pacific coast of Mexico, and the Lyall’s wren from New Zealand. In a statistical study, they were a significant cause for the extinction of 40% of the species studied.[15] Moors and Atkinson wrote, in 1984, “no other alien predator has had such a universally damaging effect”.[14]

In a global 2023 assessment, cats were found to prey on 2,084 different species, of which 347 (or 16.5%) were of conservation concern.

House cats are an invasive species. They reproduce quickly and are very effective hunters. They are absolutely a recognized threat to local ecosystems.

There’s definitely a lot of shared symptoms between the two. My wife is like you while I have garden variety ADHD, and sometimes I question whether I might be autistic too (I’m not).

A lot of distros are just a stock distro with a customized DE on top.

You sure about that buddy?

Not to mention that cosmic ray bit flips are extremely rare. A sys admin might encounter one or two during their entire career, if any.

I like how confidently incorrect you are.

In Australia, hunting by feral cats helped to drive at least 20 native mammals to extinction,[11] and continues to threaten at least 124 more.

The home ranges of male feral cats, which are generally two or three times larger than those of female cats, are on average under 10 ha (25 acres), but can vary from almost 300 ha (740 acres) to under 1 ha (2.5 acres).

I’ve personally witnessed one of my cats well over a mile from home back when they were allowed outside.

Also, his name loosely translates to Josh, so he’s Oily Josh.

House cats have literally been responsible for the extinction of several species. Their roaming territory can be a several mile radius.

They are absolutely a major threat to local wildlife regardless of human changes to the area.
