They almost exclusively eat salmon. Humans have destroyed salmon populations. They share their territory with other natural prey like seals. They kill seals for fun. They can’t figure out that seals are edible.

But I’m guessing that’s not the main reason their population is declining

Pacific Northwest orca are among the most contaminated marine mammals in the world, due to the high levels of toxic anthropogenic chemicals that accumulate in their tissues.[115] Implicated in the decline of the southern resident orca population, these widespread contaminants pose a large problem for conservation efforts. While many chemicals can be found in the tissues of orca, the most common are the insecticide DDT, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).[116] Each of these have detrimental physiological effects on orca,[117] and can be found in such high concentrations in dead individuals that those individuals must be disposed of in hazardous waste sites.[118]

Correlative evidence shows orca may be vulnerable to effects of PCBs on many levels. Research has identified PCBs as being linked to restricting development of the reproductive system in orcas and dolphins.[119] High contamination levels leads to low pregnancy rates and high mortality in dolphins. Further effects include endocrine and immune system disruption, both systems being critical to mammalian health and survival.[117] A study examining 35 Northwest orcas found key genetic alterations that caused changes to normal physiological functions.[120] These genetic level interferences, combined with the varied effects of PCBs at other physiological levels, suggest these contaminants may be partially responsible for declines in orca populations.

If it’s burbling, you fucked up.

So use an external PM like flatpak or nix

Meanwhile in 16th century Ottoman Egypt:

You spin me kebab right round, right round,

With a steam engine baby right round round round

A distro that had such great ideas in the past like including Amazon ads inside the desktop or silently symlinking apt commands to snap have to do a better job to regain community trust, instead they reject efforts like Flatpak or AppImage and build partial closed-source.

Don’t forget outright selling user data to amazon, the fact that each snap slows down boot times, or the various claims that they’re illegally harvesting user data through Azure Ubuntu images to send promotional material.

The only community they care about are the micro soft execs…

Thundermail seems cool at least

Thunder* is developed by a separate corporation, they’re just both subsidiaries of the mozilla foundation. Also mzla is pretty much financially independent due to individual donations.

You can send e2ee emails with thunderbird.

I’ve got no issues with helping people in need, but even if it’s not an embezzlement scheme, this is extremely bad prioritization unless their priority is publicity.

MDN is a proven resource that’s helped a lot of people learn to code. How many African translators can you hire for a milion a year, let alone like 8? How many more people would learn to code that way?l

But nah, let’s feed money into “partners” that use some experimental teaching methods, while destroying a crucial learning resource because corona made us broke.

Edit: fact checked myself and the corp killed MDN, and they’re paying the foundation to do projects like this through royalties.

In 2020 they fired the entire MDN writing team, slashed the budget, and basically left it in maintainance mode. The same year the foundation decided to drop millions on teaching Africans to code or some shit…

IMO for personal use “drag and drop into the correct directory” is an infinitely better organisational system than tag based libraries, especially for pirated books. I’m not going to sync my books across 10 different devices since I don’t need more than 1 reader, so it doesn’t make any sense for me to waste time using tags, let alone fix them for every book I download.

Clara colour is also awesome if you’re not reading exclusively bw. It does have slightly worse low light visibility because of the filter layers though.

Did they also force them to kill MDN, buy pocket, or funnel 99% of the foundation’s budget on everything that’s not Firefox?

Edit: fact checked myself and the budget part is completely incorrect. The foundation just leeches on the corporation through yearly royalties.

Yeah you’ll definitely last…

You mean parentheses enriched with brackets and braces?

What is clojure?

Look up any of the NGO spyware like Pegasus.

Right, and a single marijuana cigarette will drive you to a murderous rape rampage of white women (or whatever else American bullshit propaganda you want to peddle today)…

I know that 99% of the time if someone takes hallucinogens they come back to reality just fine.

“I know that 99% of the time someone masturbates they don’t go blind” - that’s the level of nonsense you’re spouting…

Just turn on your brain for a second. Psychedelics have been legal/decriminalised in some countries for years or decades. You’re saying 1 in a 100 trips leaves you insane. Try to make sense of those two statements and support it with literally any shred of data from the last couple of decades.

All of the traditional psychedelics are significantly healthier for your brain than having a few drinks. One can literally regrow neurons, the other kills them.

Sometimes the trip even makes them feel better. But, is it really worth messing with your brain’s delicate and super useful hallucination of the world around you?

And sometimes it can cure serious psychological conditions, autoimmune disease, allergies, and a host of other issues.

There’s a very good reason an increasing number of places are legalising them for therapeutic use.

Inb4 the “long COVID” is lung damage from inhaling paint thinner

I will not use a distribution that complies with this law because I believe it is morally compromised.

RH owning Fedora and funding it by making the American army more efficient at killing civilians - perfectly fine

Fedora will probably comply with the equivalent of a teen setting their age to 130 to watch porn - morally compromised

I’d be more worried about literally upstream bug testing for the DoD…

So you basically made org-mode + restclient for people who don’t use Emacs?
