I see the original further down but how can you tell?? I couldn’t tell at first but now I see some weird things about this one. But also the face of the cat is nicer in this one? And the composition is more balanced with the pile of paper in the bottom left?
How and or why did this version even get made?
We live in a strange and scary world
So weird how they’re inside the bamboo
Good starting point, but the eventually does a lot of heavy lifting here.
When plants move into a new area, they can sometimes outcompetes the species already present very effectively, and can spread unchecked, dominating the landscape and creating a monoculture. However a monoculture is more vulnerable to pestilence or disease, so eventually in years, decades, or who knows how long, a disease may spread in bamboo suppressing the population, or some new pest may evolve a way to eat bamboo more effectively and spread rapidly. Or other plants may develop other strategies. Again, in a matter of years or centuries or who knows, bamboo can become balanced out by these factors and become enmeshed in a more stable food web / ecology, which may not resemble the ecology which existed before bamboo came to that area.
P.S. I recommend reading a book called Semiosis by Sue Burke. It’s all about humans who make a colony on an alien world, and over the span of nine generations develop a symbiosis with the plant species there, which are sentient.
I could never figure out NFS … ( it only works with unix usernames??) But since I have smb servers I can use that with Android
In the thread it looks like in the US you can’t copyright the shapes, but in the UK, you can for 25 years. Also the .ttf file that contains the code to make the font render correctly at low DPI is copyrightable in the US.
Different ad
I would rather have unlimited with extra steps than unlimited with extra money
Haha that’s funny, when I first had to use slack and discord, I thought oh this is IRC, just with extra crap
Kind of like how Marcus Persson was almost a person?
Sounds like he’s more loyal to Tesla than to the consumers it hurt
“Loads a money!”
More of a meme than slang, but I also like “dosh”.
Can’t just leave us hanging with that ending!
DC:SS is probably the defining rogue game in this day in age.
Whoa that sounds really fun.

These are the true points, however the 4th reason to use a VPN is if you are using a fingerprint-resistant browser and lots of other people are too, it’s harder to track who is going where, since the exit IP is shared.
If tor isn’t working for whatever reason
I’m sad that bots in space had to spin down, but there are still bots on Mastodon. One server quitting didn’t take everything down.
The part where if a mastodon post gets popular, it has to serve that to everyone makes sense because it’s kind of like a website. Maybe there could be a CDN like Cloudflare that a mastodon server could use to cache responses?
The part about Bluesky that doesn’t sound good to me is “to send a message to one user is to send it to all”. Wouldn’t this be crazy with even 100 servers for 10000 users, vs 2 servers with 5000 each? Not sure how the math works but it doesn’t look good if they have to duplicate so much traffic.
My social circle for texting is really small, but in the good old days of social media I kept in touch with a wider circle.
One time I asked my brother how he installed iPhone apps that aren’t in the app store. He just said you can’t ???
