I'm not doing well. Extremely upset due to politics and unsure how to manage my feelings of dread and inaction. I need to do something, but I don't know what.

Might organize a protest some time soon. Never done that before.

They have ads to fundraise. Wikipedia is one of the greatest archives of knowledge in history. Their clients and website are open source powered by MediaWiki. Of all the sites to use a privacy friendly frontend for, I'd have Wikipedia at the very bottom.

I look forward to a day where third party app stores are allowed to exist on iOS, should it ever come.

It's easy to think cats are assholes when you project human behavior onto cats. Cats don't knock objects off of tables to be assholes, they probably don't even know what being an asshole means. Also, relating to the comment above, dogs are not good at consensual behavior or understanding a cat's body language when they are bothering the cat, so the cat may perceive the dog as a threat or nuisance, causing the cat to slap the dog.

I've had a cat now for about 7 years and before that I never really thought I would like cats. He's like a son to me and he is very sweet, but you have to understand his body language. Whenever I have visitors, I will let them know if he is not liking whatever they are doing, so that they can avoid getting slapped or bit. Cats are different than dogs in that way. Also, similar to people, cats have different levels of patience and every cat is different in this regard. Some cats will let you mess with them constantly, while other cats prefer having their own space and being handled on their own terms.

I visited the National Aquarium in baltimore, Maryland, and their glass building was covered in dots on the glass so that birds could more easily see the glass. I think this would make a lot of sense for skyscrapers, though it would impede on people's views. I think it's worth considering given it will also help save the lives of birds and reduce cleaning costs/damage from the birds.

This is really exciting, Mozilla is one of the few companies I trust with something like this. That being said, many initiatives spearheaded by the Mozilla foundation end up in failure, often because of the lack of funding. I hope that the community can help get the ball rolling on this, even if Mozilla is not ultimately there at the finish line.

+1 for Feeder, really happy with it

 

So I've been a huge Madeon fan since Adventure came out in 2015, but curious to know if anyone else is a fan and if so what their favorite song of his is!

Mine is Borealis from Good Faith :)
