Does it matter if someone has integrity if they always do the right thing?

Oh yeah I do this, I’ll raise you that mine also sshs into my server to update the editor theme

Hey that’s pretty good, I’m gonna steal it. It might even be worth making a pullrequest to update swaylock to have a flag to do this, I use waybar and it has a lock inhibit button that I use before I start watching anything, but automating it like this is seems super nice

wait till they’re under the water to say that

Both major political parties in the US are different degrees of right wing auth.

The two were separate signs of the increased need for privacy

Fair, but at least in the US right wing auth is a much more direct and realistic threat to people and their privacy, although left auth is bad too

If you didn’t realize the importance of privacy after the patriot act and seeing the continuation of right wing authoritarianism, it’s definitely time to get on board asap. Get yourself and your community on signal instead of texts and tuta or proton instead of regular email, use a vpn (mullvad or proton are solid), and depending on what kinds of actions you may or may not be interested in, learn how to use tails os and tor (try to find a copy of the darknetmarket bible for a good intro)

Edit: simplex is a good alternative to signal too, and if you have a google pixel, grapheneos is solid. Next time you’re getting a new phone, get a used pixel and install it. On your computer, there’s a lot of telemetry and sketchy stuff windows does, either research and disable that or switch to linux if you can

Damn they even got cats on the moon

Yeah I only really use it for personal stuff for that reason. There’s a vscode plugin, but last time I tried it it was really slow

Did you read the study I linked? Do you have a source for your claims? “Just asking questions” is very different to asking for a source, especially when I’ve looked into it and found a study counter to your claim. For the record, I also ask for sources from people who I think are correct or mostly correct: https://slrpnk.net/comment/10039992

A keyboard and terminal based text editor, similar in some ways to neovim, vim, and vi

Agree on all counts. I didn’t like finding and comparing plugins for neovim, and then wrestling with environment stuff to get them to work, and having to change a bunch of options to get nvim to work how I want. With helix, my config of things I’ve changed from default is very small, and there’s no wrestling with plugins.

And yeah, “select then act” feels a lot smoother and more intuitive to me. If you like that and like plugins tho, check out kakuone

I used neovim but recently switched to helix and highly recommend it. If you haven’t tried nvim yet, give helix a try before deciding. A good way to compare is do the tutorial of each and see which you like more nvim +Tutor and hx --tutor (orhelix --tutor).

If you’re a current vim user the helix keybindings are only a small learning curve after the tutorial, and feel a lot smoother imo

The replacement rate isn’t static. It depends on both how many people exist and how many people are having babies and how many babies they’re having. If the total number of babies per year stays constant, then whether it’s below or above the replacement rate depends on the size of the population. So for a hyper simplified example, if 100 babies are born per yer, that’s below replacement for a population of 110, but above replacement for a population of 90, but overall the population size will trend towards 100. Obviously real life is way more complicated, but even if the birth rate is low now, it’s far more likely we’re just moving towards a different population size, not a population of zero

I wasn’t demanding they educate me, I was curious if they had a source to back up their claim.

The ones being negative are the zoos keeping animals captive for entertainment. The good of conservation and rehabilitation work doesn’t justify that

Edit: I educated myself, turns out my hunch was right and the point I was trying to make stands. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7380022/ “The 40 species of animals bred for release by zoos represented only 14% of all animal species for which conservation translocations were published and only 25% of all animal species that were bred for releases occurring in North America”

We don’t even need zoos to do the conservation work.

Here’s a more general overview https://sentientmedia.org/pros-and-cons-of-zoos/

You’re welcome for the education 😊

I commented a similar sentiment on another thread on proton wallet and got mostly upvotes, people just get wacky with the votes lol https://slrpnk.net/comment/10012391

Depends on the person, why they’re using it, how often they use it, whether they’re addicted to it or not etc. Probably more acceptable within AA than NA, but idk.

Should’ve done monero

Do you happen to have any stats on the percentage of animals in zoos where the goal is to release them into the wild, and maybe the percentage of ones too injured to ever be able to release?
