Shockingly, different animal species are endemic/invasive in different geographic regions.

@mo @photography many happy returns!

@eniko @Njord good luck!

#TuneTuesday's theme, #WingingIt is about winged creatures. Here's Powerwolf's typically monstrous take on Catholic mythic symbolism.

@onelson yes, small clippings in particular are good for your compost heap

I know Viktor Antonov was known for many things, but for me the biggest impact of his work was seeing the very distinct Eastern European environments of Half-Life 2 for the first time. At the time you just didn't see these kinds of things depicted realistically in major games. And with me being a fresh immigrant at the time, it felt special.

@Bubu Yes please.

Currently my household chat is using Element, which I just discovered DOES appear to have at lea stickerpacks option, but the Catalogue extension doesn't seem to be playing nicely with my (aarch64) install.

Does Matrix support stickers yet?

@DarkestKale offers hugs

@davidnjoku a lot of 20th century works fell into various censorship gaps, either in terms of being unpublished for Soviet policy reasons, or untranslated for first world policy reasons.

@davidnjoku if you like sci-fi, Dmitry Glukhovsky's Metro 2033 is good (somewhat uninspired handling of female characters notwithstanding).

@supernovacircus

Sending this message was important to us.

We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture.

@DarkestKale Incidentally, I did fine print reads of a couple of video sites recently, and the UK GDPR thing puts OnlyFans head and shoulders above Fansly et al, despite the restrictiveness of being subject to UK legislation, because of the restrictiveness of being subject to UK legislation.

At least they're subject to the ICO's authority, even if that is a worst case scenario after-the-horse-has-bolted thing unless someone blows the whistle. But more UK IT systems bods mostly take it seriously than not.

@DarkestKale Same as it's always been TBH. The service I did the phone sex side of my work for in the early 00s were complete fucking cowboys.

BUUUUT all they needed was a name to put on a cheque to send out, so there was a limited to how fucked I could be (beyond being shafted on fees).

@DarkestKale Yeeah. I had a really fucking involved discussion with one site about how they'd retain my shit (they conspicuously did NOT satisfactorily answer my question about at-rest encryption).

I later discovered they were US, rather than -as I'd initially thought - UK based, which explained the lack of GDPR compliance awareness, at least.

@ubik I've been hearing the phrase "population exchange" bandied about as if it's so be considered some kind of acceptable euphemism.

@domo aaaah, context.

And well, you know, those vegans don't value human lives any more than that of an animal! Can you imagine! Absolutely not to be trusted not to go on a killing spree. /intense sarcasm

TFW you actually have to clean your damn space because you have to do product photography and the dust REALLY shows up on camera.

@domo yep. Yes, both socially and medically. 🖤

My endocrinologist didn't bat an eye about the not-eating-animal-stuffs thing that was marginally visible in my creatinine levels (he's young, which is helpful because this is traditionally a very meat-focused country).

Oh no, Virgin copyright struck it!
Well, the new one isn't up yet, but look what I found!
