on anyway to make this an icon? · c/photon · 1 pts · 296d

I am not a developer of the app, so I can't help on implementing that. But, if you are using ublock origin (not ublock lite), you can just use ublock's element picker and specifically hide the text without selecting the icon. That's how I do it.

Wait until you see Pixelfed and Mastodon's intercompatibility

Nearly all the posts in my Pixelfed global feed literally comes from Mastodon instances as if I'm on Mastodon with Pixelfed ui

Critical surgery computers may also be running under Windows LTSC, so they might not get the CrowdStrike patch. Maybe...

Edit: So the issue is apparently caused by CrowdStrike. So, unless the surgery computers also use CrowdStrike then it would be fine. Unless, of course, if they use CrowdStrike on surgery computers...

Right... and it's unrelated to the ungodly amount of furries on the Fediverse in general.

Let's not forget this art is on the top of all time list of the furry_irl subreddit, and I even thought this was posted on a furry_irl communities before looking at this community's name.

To be perfectly fair, this is also the case even with real life friend groups, where there are generally that one or two friends who hold the friendship the most.

One small request would be, if you could add an option to open links in incognito custom tabs?

A bit of a late reply, but if you're using Firefox for Android, you can choose to open every custom tab link in incognito mode. Perhaps that might help a little bit.

Generally, and in some cases unfortunately, murders aren't just weighed based on whether someone dies but also the motive and how it relates to the victim.

One could argue that preys generally don't deserve to die in the hands of predators since they don't do anything wrong besides existing, but predators who kill others deserve to die as punishments because they've taken another lives. It's basically the same concept as a human society that still has death penalty.

Whether it's ethical or sensical to have death penalty in a world where predation is outlawed is as hard of a question as the question about death penalty in real life.

Etienne's new pet looks closer to home!
yes, this is meant to be a btd6 reference

And even wilder, animals that don't conform to our idea of gender (yes, they exist too!). There are still a few things I think can be explored in this topic, sucb as:

  • Animals that reproduce asexually, thus lacking in gender,
  • Animals that are naturally hermaphroditic (such as worms, though these animals are rarely used for fursonas anyway),
  • Animals that can change their gender naturally (such as clownfish. Unrelated, but can you imagine how interesting it would be if that fact is referenced in Finding Nemo?),
  • Animals with different sex determination. For example, turtles' gender are determined by their temperature in the egg. Imagine the gender stereotypes!
  • Birds also have different chromosomal system for determining gender. It's not XX or XY for them, but I don't know much about avian genetics.
  • Some animals have different gender roles. For example, female hyenas are higher in hierarchy than male hyenas. Also, for lions, the lioness are usually the ones hunting. Given that different animals have different gender roles, it would be interesting to see how that would play out in an anthro society where many different species would mix.

I think it was used wrong. CMIIW, but you only need to separate clauses with a comma if the subordinate clause comes before the main clause, so this: We squint at the sun, because it's too bright

Should've been this: We squint at the sun because it's too bright

But if the subordinate clause comes before main, then a comma is needed: Because it's too bright, we squint at the sun

However, the above mistake is not a mistake in German and a few other languages. If you translate the above sentence in German, it looks like this: Wir blinzeln in die Sonne, weil sie zu hell ist (yes, i use Google Translate)

Honestly, because of my interest, as you can tell from my instance's name and purpose. It's the first furry instance I see and also the most popular one, that's the initial reason.
