The initial comment claimed

We have front facing eyes so most animals immediately will register us as a threat.

Which goalposts are being moved? Also, I’m happy to be disproven by a source

I am not doubting that eye placement is a strong, but not decisive, indicator where the animal falls on the predator/prey divide. That is a very basic fact of zoology. I am doubting the claim that prey animals categorize non-native, and therefore unknown, species as a threat by this eye placement.

Source? This sounds incredibly made up

kilopounds. really‽

I get that posting online can be an outlet when it seems like nothing else can be done, but your safety should always come first. And by design, ActivityPub is very bad about privacy, so it’s doubly important to not share anything that can be used to identify you on the same account as something that can get you in trouble. Stay safe!

For your own safety, please don’t go into more detail (and maybe remove the comment above). You’ve provided more than enough information for a determined adversary to identify you

This was near the Azerbaijan border, thousands of kilometers away from the front lines

I’m curious, could anyone more knowledgeable about IPFS give an impression of the state of the protocol? It seems like a really interesting technology, but it also leans heavily into web3 and crypto bullshit. It’s that reflective of the network, or just bad marketing?

Corporations follow the law

Good one

I don’t know where you getting this from, but Rojava is generally considered the most democratic faction in Syria. They’re not marxists, they instead follow democratic confederalism (a form of libertarian socialism). As per Wikipedia:

While entertaining some foreign relations, the region is neither officially recognized as autonomous by the government of Syria, state, or other governments institutions except for the Catalan Parliament.[19][20][21] The AANES has widespread support for its universal democratic, sustainable, autonomous, pluralist, equal, and feminist policies in dialogues with other parties and organizations.[22][23][24][25] Northeastern Syria is polyethnic and home to sizeable ethnic Arab, Kurdish, and Assyrian populations, with smaller communities of ethnic Turkmen, Armenians, Circassians, and Yazidis.[26][27][28]

I’d say they’re the best chance Syria and the Kurds have at liberation.

The region needs fewer missiles, but that’s not up to Israel to decide and enact. An unprovoked first strike is simply psychopathic

Oh yeah, of course.

No, I don’t

Israel claims without evidence that displaced people driving in cars to return to the border region are Hisbollah and bombs them. No attacks by Hisbollah so far, to my knowledge. That then gets reported as “both sides violating the ceasefire”

How many of those are killed in domestic circumstances, by partners or relatives? While it’s true that more men get murdered, femicides are a real and documented issue, and one that will take very different measures to solve from, say, gang violence. Saying you can’t talk about one kind of murder without solving all violence is disingenuous, along the lines of the “all lives matter” crowd. Especially so since the article specifically talks about what you’re criticizing.

In many settings you get a hdmi cable where the other end is installed out of view, so that’s not an option. But HDMI is a bad standard anyways, so I’m fine with having to carry an adapter

From other state’s courts, not the ICC, you disingenuous fuckfaces!

this holy war will not go on for another 80 years. because at the current rate, every Palestinian left in Gaza will be dead in a year. and you seem to be fine with Israel withholding aid and now, according to current evidence (but not yet proven in an international court) destroying or helping destroy what little aid does get in.

I’m done with this, I’m blocking you now. I’m sick of having to argue that genocide is wrong.

This is not a court proceeding, so saying “hearsay is not evidence” is pointless. Witness testimony before a court would be evidence. And all we know as of now points towards Israel doing it. The details will have to be proven in court, when they eventually get their Nuremberg.
