Nicolas Lubitz, a PhD candidate who studies marine predators, said he could only assume the shark gobbled up the echidna while it was swimming in the shallows off the island, or travelling between islands, which the animals are known to do.

TIL echidnas can swim

And it's awesome. The staff have to actually study and pass a test so they can advise on wine selection. The selection is huge and far beyond what's visible in the stores - and there's a great app for ordering stuff. They even have massively subsidised wine courses and a free wine magazine that's surprisingly good.

Some of us live in countries with a living minimum wage. But this tipping bullshit washes up on our shores anyway.

Kid gets sick of being told to clean his room and runs away from home, but it's more difficult than he anticipates. In desperation, he reaches out to his estranged relatives for help, which just makes his dad even more mad.

There is a really interesting dev discussion on this topic here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3033

Having a central committee of approval sure sounds like communism to me.... /jk

Seriously though, we are all going to want different stuff in All. As a user I would like the choice to block an instance, or not.

Moaning about a lack of robust privacy for 3rd party apps while on a platform with a public record of every users up and down votes is a pretty rich. That data is a gift to the advertisers and you can bet it is being mined already. If I had the skill that would be the topic I made a meme about.

Okay, sure—if you check the Steam Hardware Survey, Linux machines make up only a bit above 1% of all Steam users. That number's set to rise soon, though.

Saved you a click.

Bit of a wall of text, but I figure it does more good than harm to have this in the comments with links:

The Kids Online Safety Act would increase surveillance and restrict access to information under the guise of protecting children online. KOSA would put the tools of censorship in the hands of state attorneys general. It would greatly endanger the rights and safety of young people online. KOSA’s burdens will affect adults, too, who will likely face hurdles, like age verification, to access legal content online as a result of the bill. TELL CONGRESS: OPPOSE THE KIDS ONLINE SAFETY ACT

The STOP CSAM Act would put security and free speech at risk by potentially making it a crime to offer encryption. The law would undermine digital security for all internet users, impacting private messaging and email app providers, social media platforms, cloud storage providers, and many other internet intermediaries and online services. TELL CONGRESS NOT TO OUTLAW ENCRYPTED APPS

The EARN IT Act would likely mandate scanning of messages and other files similar to the plan that Apple wisely walked away from last year. Digital rights supporters sent more than 200,000 messages to Congress to kill earlier versions of this bill. We’ve beaten it twice before, and we can do it again. We need your support to stop the EARN IT Act one more time. PROTECT OUR PRIVACY—STOP "EARN IT"

The RESTRICT Act would set the stage for a restriction on the use of TikTok, but could also criminalize common practices like using a VPN or side-loading to install a prohibited app. There are legitimate data privacy concerns about social media platforms, but this bill is a distraction from real progress on privacy. TELL CONGRESS: DON'T PASS THE RESTRICT ACT

The Cooper Davis Act would turn messaging services, social media companies, and even cloud providers into Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) informants. The bill is likely to result in companies sweeping up innocent conversations, including discussions about past drug use or treatment. This bill contains no warrant requirement, no required notice, and limited user protections., andIt deserves to be defeated on the Senate floor. TELL CONGRESS: Don't turn messaging services into DEA informants

Ok the memes are really quite good over here in lemmy land

Isn't this exactly part of the problem? Men have been gaslit into "being a man" on one side, while also being taught to fear "toxic masculinity" if they try to discuss their problems in group/digital settings. It seems no matter how such a community behaves there will always people that push both of these narratives. But they're not part of the solution, so I'm not sure I'm gonna take them seriously.

Shout out to jerboa. Very smooth transition from Sync. Suspect with the recent rexodus it'll only get better.
