Clints Reptiles for more interesting cladistic facts. https://youtu.be/7xv3NLGO5do
or Ze Frank for: Wow, look at those boobies! https://youtu.be/oGdVSvsiaOk and New Caledonian Crows don’t have the right peckers. https://youtu.be/B-HF-wBwQsc
Kestrels and falcons are each others closest relatives.
Both are more closely related to parrots than to kites hawks and eagles. In fact falcons are more closely related to tits than to hawks. But tits are more closely related to parrots than to falcons. Fuck, eagles and hawks are more closely related to woodpeckers than to falcons.
Bird cladistics is wild!
I thought the same and then Kimi K2 came up with a clock that has two 12 and no 11…
And with juuuuust a tiny bit more sugar so the bacteria in your mouth can create more acid to bathe your teeth in way longer than the water remains in your mouth, nice.
The level of pH difference we’re talking about here is negligible. You’re constantly bathing your teeth in your (slightly acidic) spit and swallowing your spit all the time, the very few moments your teeth come into contact with slightly more alkaline water have no lasting influence. Plain tap-water (also slightly alkaline with a pH of ~7.5 in most of the US) would have the very same effect.
Brushing your teeth after a meal and abstaining from sugary drinks is where the difference is at, Everything else is talking about if Mount Everest is higher when you place a grain of sand on top… technically yes, but no.
My street is finally getting fiberoptic internet! That means I’m going from around 4MiB/s to at least 400 more likely 600 MiB/s… with around 3/4 of that in upload speed. I have already canceled all my streaming services and external servers, the parts for my homeserver are on their way.
No more Google Drive, hello Nextcloud, no more Spotify, hello Finamp, no more Netflix and Crunchyroll, hello Jellyfin, no more Bitwarden, hello Vaultwarden.
I’ll finally be able to self-host all my Docker containers fir my website-, email- and game-server, I can have a homeserver for my media-streaming even when I’m not at home. I might even create my own Immich and Lemmy Instances. Just need to read up on NixOS and get a good, reliable system running.
Fuck big Tech, I’ll host my own shit and offer it to all my friends.
Not just reclaiming, also simply claiming. Poldering is no joke!
I love the The Expanse books to death, but holy shit, the series was so incredibly good. I love love love the TV Camina Drummer oh my god, she and Ashford defined the Belt for me.
I’m sore that the show was canceled, but I thoroughly enjoyed what we got from it.

Linux@lemmy.ml•SUSE launches new European digital sovereignty support service to meet surging demand
11·6 months agoLook, folks, I’ve been hearing a lot, a lot, about this thing called Linux. Ever heard of it? Sounds European, doesn’t it? Probably invented in Brussels, or Sweden, maybe Russia, I don’t know. Total disaster. I call it Socialist Windows, because that’s what it is! It’s chaotic, no one’s in charge. Total mess. Bernie Sanders running an IT department, terrible. Meanwhile, Windows, great American company, by the way, very successful, very strong.
“People who fought for freedom from the USSR were genociding it.”
Removed by mod
If you read the resolution and the answers of national governments why they abstained, the answer is found in points 4 and 14 of the resolution, where everyone who fought against the anti-Hitler coalition is condemned and equivocated with nazi-sympathisers. This does include people who opportunistically fought againt the Red Army in the baltic states and Ukraine for national liberation from the USSR, but not necessarily on the german side.
Yes, some of those “national liberation fighters” were absolute shitbag nazi scum, but not all of them were and history is generally more complex than just good and bad.
There was a movement to restrict those two points to language that does not automatically include these anti-soviet forces among the ranks of the nazis, but the changes were not adopted.
Some politicians posit the hypothesis that the resolution was worded in such a way through russian string pulling, because they wanted to be able to paint every anti-russian fighter in the time of the second world war as pro-Hitler.

Linux@lemmy.ml•How much of a pain is it to install Nvidia GPU drivers, really?
451·9 months agodepends on your Distro, for Linux Mint it’s just the Driver Manager.
To access the Driver Manager in Linux Mint, follow these steps:
- Click on the Menu (Taskbar) in the lower-left corner of your screen.
- Navigate to Administration.
- Click on Driver Manager.

Once you have opened the Driver Manager, follow these steps to install the Nvidia drivers:
- The Driver Manager will prompt you for your password. Enter your password and click on Authenticate.
- The Driver Manager will scan your system for available drivers. Once the scanning is complete, you will see a list of available drivers for your graphics card.
- Select the recommended Nvidia driver from the list.
- Click on Apply Changes to start the installation process.
Then reboot.
For most problems you can really just google stuff like “Linux Mint Nvidia Drivers”

Canada@lemmy.ca•Could Canada join the EU? Unlikely … but not impossible.
14·9 months agoBecause it lacks the ability to digest a Union with over 14 times its population.
Like eating an entire pack of Mentos and then downing a gallon of coke.
Fair, but on March 26 the initial Schengen-Borders will have been basically nonexistent for 30 years.
the US-Canadian border has been one of, if not the, most peaceful borders in the entire world.
the most peaceful and mutually beneficial border on Earth.
Tell me your views are extremely America-centric without telling me.
The only way you can have those views is if you know nothing about the EU at all.






Fish is not a valid cladistic term. Birds are reptiles in the same way that people are vertebrates would be about equivalent and correct.
