Damn it, you figured me out. I feel like I've learned a lot about myself from this session. Thank you.

Is this a DumDummies request? 😰

I suppose the quotation marks are pretty loaded these days...

But honestly, when you've lived on the other side of things... as bad as it gets in the "West"... many people will still sacrifice everything to make their way there, where a better life might be found... even if many of those countries are actively trying to keep immigrants out... 🫤

And nothing will be done.

I'm so tired, just trying to keep up.

I don't know how any Gazans can bear to live under this.

They need help. They need hope.

How long must this continue? How long will the "free world" continue to allow this?

😫

Super neat! We have a Japanese Cherry Willow, which is a graft. We inherited it with the house and are slowly trying to bring it back to better health. It got pretty unbalanced, but it's already looking better each year. Grafting is such an interesting thing!

This is really cool. Have you had luck in the past with such projects?

I hear that welcoming migrants is a great way to address this problem...

I don't really understand how this benefits Ukraine...

 

Is there a way to enable logs outputs? I'm getting pretty regular timeout errors on my primary instance of choice. I'd really like to know more details about what's going on.

Time outs (self.lemmy_ca_support)

Ever since things came back up after the Jan 5th outage, I've started to encounter regular timeouts. I will scroll past a couple dozen number posts and then it will stop as of there are no more. Within a few seconds, the application produces a time out error.

I use Boost for Lemmy as my client, but I'm not convinced that the issue is the app since switching my instance allows me to continue scrolling without a problem. And to be clear, prior to January 5th, I've never experienced a timeout in the app.

I'm curious if I'm the only one experiencing timeouts on Lemmy.ca. If so, then I'm curious if the admins are aware of any issue.

[10 Feb 2025 Update: After Lemmy.ca was updated to 0.19.9, cloudflare account changed, and their hardware infrastructure replaced... everything has started functioning normally again. I can't say what the cause was yet, but the WebUI and any connected app is scrolling through feeds without any timeouts now. 💯]

 

EDIT: I find the article interesting, but not in the good sense. I'm glad to know, but it only leaves me feeling achy.

I also find the down votes for this post interesting. The source is trustworthy and accurately reflects the US American populace. Perhaps the negative votes simply reflect how many, including myself, feel about this news in general.

 

“It revolves around safety, security, and, I think, common sense. It protects our children and grandchildren in private spaces where they are most vulnerable,” said Republican Ohio state Sen. Jerry Cirino, the bill’s sponsor.

 

Older article (2023), but sharing for those unawares.

The birds - which have been around since the prehistoric Pleistocene era - were officially declared extinct in 1898.

After their rediscovery in 1948, conservationists began collecting and incubating eggs from wild takahē, to prevent them from being eaten by predators

 

This kid really is incredible! I heard him and his mother interviewed today on All Things Considered. Managed to find this Audubon article to show my family. It links TikTok videos that show off what he can do. I don't really know how to share those directly and they often don't work for me because of registration requirements. I think they should work for at least one listen for you all though.

 

The Biden administration has warned Israel that it must increase the amount of humanitarian aid it is allowing into Gaza within the next 30 days or it could risk

The Biden administration is doing the best they can possibly do. /s

How do you teach a bird how, and where, to fly?

The distinctive Northern Bald Ibis, hunted essentially to extinction by the 17th century, was revived by breeding and rewilding efforts over the last two decades. But the birds — known for their distinctive black-and-iridescent green plumage, bald red head and long curved beak — don’t instinctively know which direction to fly to migrate without the guidance of wild-born elders. So a team of scientists and conservationists stepped in as foster parents and flight instructors.

“We have to teach them the migration route,” said biologist Johannes Fritz.

 

This is kind of big news. I never would have expected it.
