Peanuts are definitely not ideal, but much better than drinking oil from restaurant gutters or deep fried refuse.

Likely peanuts selected to be easy to dispense. Hopefully the program continues and they move to a more ideal food, but it may have to be something appealing to the crows to incentivise them?

What a great scheme.

Crows are susceptible to chronic liver disease if they live in urban areas (particularly near restaurants or markets). I looked it up because it’s happened to a few crows in my urban area who have grown long, thin deformed beaks, and I was curious what was causing it - apparently a fat-heavy diet which leads to chronic disease is the most common cause. They can also get sick or diseased from scavenging tainted or toxic food.

I can’t find any info for crows being able to contract diseases from humans, so it’s low risk for them collecting cigarette waste.

So this scheme is win-win - crows adapted to urban areas pick up litter with no (or very low) risk to themselves, get safe and nutritious food.

That’s what we’ve tried for hundreds of years and it didn’t work.

Turns out it’s easier to turn to a more intelligent species 😉

No, because they are not hunting bird and small animal species to extinction.

They’re also part of the native ecosystem so anything they do kill is generally for subsitence, and not impactful to the ecosystem they’ve existed with for thousands of years.

Barn cats just kill for fun.

Yeah, fuck the local wildlife if it means you don’t have to deal with the hair of your pet being on your couch.

Joke not funny, advice dumb. People no haha, give better advice.

Judging by those advice posts being massively upvoted - seems most agree.

We identify the joke, it’s just not very funny

I have a paid Proton account and yet I still pay for AirVPN for years because of 1) how good their service is for torrenting 2) how cheap it is at black friday every year.

WinDirStat imo is a better alternative - same functionality, much older and open source.

Wiztree borrows a lot from WinDirStat’s interface.

Depends if it’s a young tech coming up to fix their computer, or an older tech coming up to elaborate what the recent Capex request is for, because it just takes to damn long to write in email.

If it’s the latter then yeah that checks out.

Every Catfriend build since v2 has been reproducable. Most apps on F-Droid are and they are encouraging it for all devs, to build trust.

Update from Simon aka imsodin, Syncthing Maintainer

tl;dr for android users: No need to switch apps at this time, the current install continues to work and is safe. If you can disable app auto-updates, please do that for now to be on the safe side.

Good news: Had a good chat with @nel0x. He is a collaborator on researchxxl’s repo and just marked those releases as “pre-release”, which prevents the obtainium auto-upgrades. So we are back to no immediate risk for users and we can take it slowly, trying to establish communication and more context. It’s still possible and imo likely that nothing nefarious is going on, just a very suboptimal handover that needs clearing up. There’s no need to go dig for repos on github, the technicalities of continuing to publish an app are not an issue - the open/relevant points are about a possible direct continuation of the existing app (or not), the time/effort that needs to be volunteered to publish an app and the trust in whoever does that. Hopefully we can work something out. If you are interested in helping maintain the app, let us know, other than that imo nothing to do here except if you are a user, to do the above in the tl;dr and every now and then check-in on the status (now and then being more like every week than every hour 😉 ).

Sounds like a really good reason not to use Obtainium, if any repo you have tracked for updates can just redirect you to a completely different repo If they have the keys - and throw no complaints when updating to an entirely different apk.

With F-Droid they at least have to have the same signing keys, and the code is built by F-droid from source - meaning the code for the supplied APK always matches the code on the repository for the build. Whereas Obtainium will just offer you any APK the dev releases on their GitHub/Gitlab/etc, this places much higher trust on the dev.

Edit:
my bad, I wrote earlier that all F-droid builds are reproducable. But that’s not accurate F-droid does not enforce that all builds must be reproducible. They have been helping devs with the tools and assistance to do so since 2015, and all the apps that I use I’d checked in the past and are all using reproducable builds, so I wrongly presumed it was mandatory now. Eg, Syncthing-Fork from Catfriend has had all builds reproducible since v2: https://verification.f-droid.org/packages/com.github.catfriend1.syncthingfork/

Its because it gets reported as the app using the screen and other subsystems during time its in-focus. So really it’s mostly your screen/wifi/etc using power, not the website as such - but the phone categorizes relevant power draw to the active foreground app that’s preventing the phone from sleeping.

Thanks for digging, that’s cool. I’m glad that some Japanese weirdo actually created this for their art exhibit.

I presume since the beer bottle says… squints Cream Blindness… that this is not a real thing at all, and just everyone’s favorite: AI slop.

You and I are sheltered I guess. I thought it was to prevent people cutting their feet at the beach (presume that’s not uncommon).

The butt thing does make it funnier though.
