What if your identity as a furry? Obviously it covers your face, but it’s sort is like a costume. There are also furry conventions, so maybe that’s the sort of event/festival that would count as an exception.

What does it do?

Yeah, but what if you had deathstar levels of power at your disposal? It’s not going to be merely laser ablation at that point, now is it?could you really blow up the whole moon, just like Alderaan?

Oh, that’s a very good point. Makes me wonder why Mozilla doesn’t talk about donations very much. Must be a strategic decision or something.

As someone who is severely allergic to ads, I really don’t like this transition, but I understand why they’re doing it.

Mozilla seems to be facing a tough problem. How do you make money when your core audience isn’t enough to support the company, but you can’t realistically pivot to a new audience without kicking out all of the old users. Would it be better if Mozilla just faded into irrelevancy and focussed on developing Thunderbird instead? The FOSS community would have to continue to support Firefox, which would slow down development to such an extent that it probably wouldn’t be able to keep up with the rest of the web.

But it is still unpopular, so it belongs right here, now doesn’t it? Being right or wrong isn’t in the definition, so either way is fine.

If it’s wrong, there’s probably a good reason why it’s unpopular. If it’s true, we can have a very interesting discussion.

I can imagine how these workers would constantly monitor the temperature of the fire and add more coal when necessary.

I wonder how a (software) daemon would fit in. It would just take care of various background stuff and nobody would notice it until something goes wrong.

If it happens, it happens. There’s not much I can do about it. Instead of worrying about it, I can just get some popcorn ready. 🍿The last season finale was epic.

Maybe one day plastic processing plants could use larvae to eat the waste. We’re already using microbes in this way, so why not extend the same idea to larger creatures.

Fair enough. We’re going to assume it’s completely safe until proven otherwise. Vulcanologists can tell you that the viscosity can be pretty high, so there could be a choking hazard though. Further study would be needed to determine the exact nature of potential hazards.
