  • Corvids all do this. And they tell the others.

    We had a problem for a few years with ravens punching holes in the tops of grain bags and letting rain and snow in. My cousin shot one from across the yard and threw the pieces on top of the bag. There was a raven funeral for about a day, and we haven’t had a raven pick a hole in a grain in the decade since.

    I’ve seen the same thing happen with magpies when a cat gets one. The other magpies will gather to scream at the cat for a couple of days, but they’ll pack up and move after that.


  • I’ve followed this project, and they’re very limited on the off-the-shelf mowers that are supported.

    Frankly, I’d prefer a generic version that lets me slap some servos against the wheels on a basic cordless mower and drive it around with differential steering. I don’t need it to look pretty, I just want it to cut my grass.









  • There was a pretty good indication that Manjaro was click-botting it a few years back, then Mint, and now MX. While I actually like Manjaro, that team is totally not above having done such a thing. And pretty much as soon as the rumors about that started, it mysteriously started dropping in the ranking…

    Why? For a long time, DW was considered a source of distro recommendation and popularity. With these “attacks”, it’s become a community joke and not considered much of a real indication.








  • Despite being an “entertainment” show, satirical media is still media, and covered by the First. These shows still rely on that protection against lawsuits, and have been exhonerated with the same defence, Cobert in particular. If you could prove government interference in this case, I’d say there was a pretty good basis for a court case based on freedom of the press, which is the corollary of free speech.
