Some non-egg laying animal gave birth to an egg laying animal due to a beneficial mutation. So the "chicken" (or rather, any egg laying animal) came first.

This man was specifically not gooning, gooning is about lasting as long as you can.

Nobody removed your choice to change servers

Further evidenced by the fact they're posting from their non-db0 account after saying they voted on the topic with their db0 account.

Whether or not you agree with db0's decision, framing it as a mere "petty war" is disingenuous.

It says LITRPG, not RPG. LITRPG is a story genre.

(Edit: this is meant to be informative, not condescending. I hadn't heard of that genre until semi recently.)

This is why we should use things like GPL.

I guess this is more of a fraction times a fraction equals a smaller fraction than a negative times a negative equals a positive sort of thing then.

At this point y'all aren't disagreeing about what happened or if it was good/bad, just about how terms like "normal" and "nothing burger" should be used.

I can't find any mention of the specific species of peafowl the man had. My personal guess is that it's just a stock image of a peacock. None of the articles below mention the species, but one does have the same mugshot.

https://nypost.com/2025/09/30/us-news/florida-man-arrested-for-allegedly-killing-cooking-and-eating-pet-peacocks/

https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/florida-man-eats-pet-peacocks-dispute-neighbor-feeding-them-craig-vogt-pasco-county-sheriffs-office-tampa-bay/

Quoting the AP article,

The 61-year-old man from Hudson, Florida, was arrested last week on a third-degree felony charge of aggravated animal cruelty, according to an affidavit from the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office.

The man told investigators that he had killed the two peacocks because his neighbor kept feeding them. He had written the neighbor a letter telling her that he would continue to kill his pet peacocks if she kept feeding them “to prove a point,” according to the affidavit, which didn’t say how many peacocks he kept.

The man “admitted to killing the bird by cutting the bird’s neck out of spite, then bleeding it out, and then later eating the bird after cooking it on a frying pan,” the affidavit said.

So it doesn't seem so simple as him merely getting arrested for deciding to eat one of his peafowl.

Killing an endangered animal and cruelty to animals are separate statutes. So I think it's safe to safe it's not an endangered peafowl.

I don't care enough to pull the man's actual court records and see if he was also charged with Intentional killing or wounding of any species designated as endangered, threatened, or of special concern.

If anyone wants to sleuth on this further, feel free.

I like em. But I also don't have to walk near them or where they poo, so take my opinion as you will.

Hello Karim! How does it feel to be the first (or at least one of the first) celebrities to do an AMA on Lemmy?

 

I was curious if this was a Jerboa issue or just the instance, but I get the same problem when I use the web version. When I try to go to the second page of posts (by clicking next or scrolling down) it seems to hang forever. Is this affecting others or just me?

 

Today I haven't been able to login through Jerboa. It worked fine in the past. I downloaded Voyager to try and it failed as well. Weirdly the browser works perfectly fine. Any idea what might be happening? Thanks, friends!

 

I noticed a repository's .gitattributes entry for *.csv used text eol=crlf so I investigated and found this.

 

It only shows Drive (for each account), Bug Reports (?) and System Traces (?). Of course, I just restarted my phone to see if it fixed it. It did, but as soon as I try a second time it's gone again.

I mention Discord but I'm pretty sure this file picker screen is not directly associated with Discord.

Update: This is affecting a friend of mine as well in the same way from the same time. Haven't determined if it's just Discord yet.

 

Sorry, this is a little embarrassing lol. But my notification bar with the clock and battery don't show in Jerboa any more. Is this some full screen option in the app I've accidentally turned on or something in Android itself I've enabled for this app?

Thanks!

 

I just never thought I'd hear GPL software get such a huge shout-out. It was literally the second thing said during the acceptance speech for Flow (best animated picture).

Also, Anora is a story involving sex workers and during two different acceptance speeches (best original screenplay and best picture) they thanks sex workers for sharing their stories with them.

Wasn't really sure where else to post this. I just thought it was pretty cool. There's always a bit of pandering in speeches (and it's not necessarily always bad), but libre software and sex workers were two things I wouldn't have guessed would get mentions. It was exciting!

 

There are times I'd like to get a measurement of a room's layout. I know there are some apps that do this, but a lot are just full of premium pay wall stuff.

I'm just trying to get the dimensions of my office (it is an odd shape) so I can okay around with potential furniture layouts.

 

I'm interested in setting up something to act as a file server. Think of it as "the cloud" but local. I've never built (or bought) something specifically for this, so it's a big foreign to me.

I think really all I would want is something that can store a lot of TB of data easily. It doesn't need to be fast. It doesn't need to be able to stream media anywhere. It really only needs to be able to act as an SFTP server, maybe run sync thing (new to that), and maybe act as a NAS. My gut feeling is something like 10+ TB might be a good amount to start. Something that won't fill up quick and that I can put big things in (like a full system image of another computer) without concern.

What would be a good way to go about this? Building a computer like normal but getting very cheap stuff? Getting something pre built or used (like surplus office stuff)? I'm just not really sure where to begin.

 

When talking about inflation there are two main types. I usually call them treasury and CPI inflation, but I don't necessarily know if those are widely used terms. By treasury inflation I refer to the total supply of money, like the inverse of federal interest rates basically. By CPI inflation I mean the change of the consumer price index over time. Both are useful, but depending on the context one may be more useful than the other.

 
 

For me it isn't working. Single player works fine. If Crossplay is ON I can see other games on the world map, but time out when joining the lobby. When I disable Crossplay I see none at all. (Yes, this is the opposite of what you might guess based on other issues people have mentioned where disabling Crossplay fixed it.)

Update: I switched to Proton 9 from the Cachy version and it works!

Powering my GPU and rails (programming.dev)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by JackbyDev@programming.dev to c/buildapc@lemmy.world
 

This will likely have some technical inaccuracies because I've never dealt with something this specific with PSUs. I have two slots for PCIe. I have a 3070 ti which has two 8 pin connectors. Each of this PSU's cords for the PCIe slots (minus that mysterious 600W one which I think is not for anything I'm doing due to the size) goes from the 12 pin on the PSU to two separate 8 pin connectors (well, 6 with the optional 2).

My gut feeling is to just plug a single cord from the PCIe slots I to the two slots on my GPU. But I'm wondering about what would happen if I plugged two cords into the PCIe slots separately and then put a single connector into the GPU from each. Would that be better/worse/the same/catastrophic?

I'm wondering if it has something to do with dividing the current among the different rails in the PSU or something? It has a little jumper to enable "overclocking" which does something like combining the rails, but I'd rather not fool with that. And it also might be totally unrelated to the other question. The jumper is, of course, just out of view of the pic, but it's also not really relevant.

Edit: I went with one and it's working fine.
