Not everything in black and white makes sense.
That’s the reason wildcats are not a problem, they have small stable populations and barely interact with humans and domestic cats.
“Modern” Wildcats have been in all of Europe for at least 300k years, so they were just another predator species among many others.
The European wild cat exists. Domestic cats may have come from Africa, but cats have been native in Europe for a long time.
Same here, I have been doing that for around 20 years now too and I started out with postfix and a list of vmails in a text file.
I wonder where this myth comes from. People host way more out there stuff themselves, but somehow email is too scary …
I remember when browsers just showed text.
We should just throw away the web and do something new. Maybe Fidonet over Reticulum so we can use radio.
The only one I can think about is Pharao.
There was a re-release recently

Pompeii: The Legacy
Another take on roman inspired city builders. It’s in early access but already really playable.

Metropolis 1998
City builder inspired by sim city 2000 with pixel graphics. The interesting thing here is that you can plan and decorate the houses you build. So it’s a bit of simcity / sims mix with retro graphics
Currently only a demo is available.
Yeah, they should do an init system instead of reinventing an operating system.
That’s the main problem I have with it.
Of course advocates of systemd will say it’s modular, but there is some kind of capture process going on - you have to relay on the systemd solution, because it fits nicely into the systems ecosystem …
I’m totally with you on that. I use systemd daily and it has enormous benefits for system administration, but I don’t like the direction it’s headed and how the project is lead. That’s what I wanted to bring across here.
That’s what the problem with systemd is. It started out as a “modern” init system but somehow we ended up with some kind of parasitic software heap that tries to replace the userspace.
I mean the latest addition is some kind of OS installer.
To quote James T. Kirk: “why does an init system need an OS installer.”
That’s something I don’t understand.
I mean there is endless capitalism out there - what prevents China from just buying a company that has one? Like if you out up one Trillion dollars on Trumps desk tomorrow they could basically choose which company they want.
If that wasn’t a rich people class institution, it would be called a title mill and closed for that …
I think we are already seeing that with Microsoft. Another 2-3 rounds of AI and they forget how to build windows.
As a fellow diaeresis user I concur.
Thinking about that, it reminds me of addiction. You replace your motivational system with another one, that gives you a faster and easier reward.
There is an easy cope out to say, these were bad engineers to begin with, but I’m not convinced.
We know that if you don’t use an ability and use it daily your brain just reallocates resources to other tasks. So if you have a machine that “outsources” thinking for you, you will be less able to think.
Dissolve the US and create some EU like entity.
Have you seen Merz? Germany would instantly fall to the US side if that happens.
I’m happy that Spain is doing a lot of sane things at the moment. I wonder why.
Of course.
Personally I have given up on that. I try to either use false information when they don’t need the real data or throwaway" emails and SEPA and one time credit card numbers for banking stuff.
I don’t trust any company with my data ever, so I’m constantly paranoid in a way.
The European wildcat - Felis silvestris.
Interestingly it seems that they avoided interbreeding with domestic cats for over 2k years.
