  • You've heard of the bird flu outbreak in cattle in the US that infected (at least) three humans, right? We are animals, and many animals can potentially give us diseases regardless of their domestication status.

    If you're thinking specifically about rabies, there is a vaccine for raccoons.

  • Warnings over lethal and contagious strain of mpox as children in DRC die
  • If it comes to the USA, it's too late. The recent outbreak has cemented in the minds of Americans that this is a Gay™ disease, and it only affects those pesky Gays. Therefore, the vaccine will be refused in even higher amounts than other vaccines. "I'm not a Gay. I don't have to worry about it."

  • S.4562 Introduced to Senate - If passed would prevent the frighteningly common practice of intentionally feeding manure to farm animals
  • Yes! I only recently discovered this was a thing after cows suddenly started getting bird flu and someone said "maybe we shouldn't have been feeding them bird shit?"

    Don't believe me? Search for "broiler litter" or "poultry litter" and "cow feedstock."

  • What you do when you have TOO MUCH free time?
  • In short: whatever you enjoy.

    We've all been conditioned to think that time spent doing things you enjoy instead of working or some type of work-training is meaningless. There is more to life than employment. You're allowed to do things you enjoy simply because you enjoy them.

  • You should try learning German songs and singing them to help with pronunciation! "Madsen" is my favorite German band for this purpose. The lead singer is (usually) easy to understand. But, nearly any singer will do. I'd avoid native English speakers singing in German, though. For instance, I love Connie Francis's German stuff (and so did many Germans, it seems), but her pronunciation is nothing to emulate, sadly.

    Are there still any versions of Linux sold in a box like in the 90s / 2000s?

    I've tried to find them to no avail. I'm guessing the box sets just aren't made anymore, but I figured it's worth asking in case there's some obscure one out there somewhere.

    To clarify, I'm looking for a more recent Linux version. I know the older ones can be found on auction sites and the like.

    Does anybody remember the Rugrats desktop companions / virtual pets?

    I remember finding them on the Internet somewhere in the early 2000s. I remember that Kimi was one of them, so it would have to have been after the second movie (Rugrats in Paris). Anybody remember these things? I can't find any details about them online.

    Gift Ideas for your DND group?

    A dice tray or a set of dice is an obvious and universal choice. Anybody have any more ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Comment text boxes don't behave correctly?

    When I am making a post or a comment through jerboa, I am having a weird issue where if I backspace/delete, the text of the word I'm writing will combine with the word before it.

    As an example, if I type

    > The quick brown foz

    And I backspace to fix the typo, I get this

    > The quick brownfo

    If I keep backspacing to fix the problem, it keeps combining words like this

    >Thequickbrown

    It's very annoying and sometimes I have to delete entire sentences and start over. Also, if I have a wall of text and click somewhere in the text to make an edit, sometimes it will keep typing where I was before. Also annoying.

    Does anybody else have this issue? It could be a product of my keyboard, which is Open Board from F-Droid. But I usually only have issues like this when trying to type my information into websites that aren't designed for mobile. (Fennec, if it matters.)

    What are some of the most federated Lemmy instances?

    I chose my instance 9 or so months ago purely because it was suggested by the Jerboa app at the time. In lieu of making numerous accounts to access communities that aren't federated with my instance, I was hoping to make a second account with a very "federated" instance. Any suggestions?

    Despite being here for a while, I've mostly been a lurker til recently and haven't learned a lot. Thanks in advance.
