Technology@beehaw.org•Apple is locking down the iPhone App Store to comply with a new law in China
1·3 years agoI look forward to a day where third party app stores are allowed to exist on iOS, should it ever come.

Science@beehaw.org•We now know how cats purr—why they purr is still up for debate
4·3 years agoIt’s easy to think cats are assholes when you project human behavior onto cats. Cats don’t knock objects off of tables to be assholes, they probably don’t even know what being an asshole means. Also, relating to the comment above, dogs are not good at consensual behavior or understanding a cat’s body language when they are bothering the cat, so the cat may perceive the dog as a threat or nuisance, causing the cat to slap the dog.
I’ve had a cat now for about 7 years and before that I never really thought I would like cats. He’s like a son to me and he is very sweet, but you have to understand his body language. Whenever I have visitors, I will let them know if he is not liking whatever they are doing, so that they can avoid getting slapped or bit. Cats are different than dogs in that way. Also, similar to people, cats have different levels of patience and every cat is different in this regard. Some cats will let you mess with them constantly, while other cats prefer having their own space and being handled on their own terms.

Environment@beehaw.org•At least 1,000 birds died from colliding with one Chicago building in one day
9·3 years agoI visited the National Aquarium in baltimore, Maryland, and their glass building was covered in dots on the glass so that birds could more easily see the glass. I think this would make a lot of sense for skyscrapers, though it would impede on people’s views. I think it’s worth considering given it will also help save the lives of birds and reduce cleaning costs/damage from the birds.

Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Mozilla.ai is a new startup and community funded with 30M from Mozilla that aims to build trustworthy and open-source AI ecosystem
40·3 years agoThis is really exciting, Mozilla is one of the few companies I trust with something like this. That being said, many initiatives spearheaded by the Mozilla foundation end up in failure, often because of the lack of funding. I hope that the community can help get the ball rolling on this, even if Mozilla is not ultimately there at the finish line.
I’ve been wanting one for so long and it’s been hard
The link was broken for me lol that’s why I asked

City Life@beehaw.org•From an urban planning perspective, what's the worst designed aspect of your city?English
2·3 years agoIn my city, we are a very small town with a very unusual road layout. It is not pedestrian friendly, nor is it friendly to cyclists. The road isn’t really ever busy, but it’s two lanes each direction with a speed limit of 25 mph. Because the road is wide and has two lanes, people frequently go 40 mph, and it makes crossing the street harder. In my opinion I would like to see us go down to one lane each direction, and go to normal intersections rather than the weird slip lanes that we have

Beehaw Support@beehaw.org•ANNOUNCEMENT: defederating effective immediately from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.worksEnglish
9·3 years agoyou’re not bee-holden 🐝
In all seriousness I agree and it’s really nice being able to make that decision for myself, because I prefer a more peaceful and moderated community personally. To each their own and I’m thankful for the Fediverse for letting us have that choice.

Technology@beehaw.org•The end of Reddit? Why the blackout is still going – and what happens nextEnglish
3·3 years ago+1 for Feeder, really happy with it
If you didn’t already suggest it, I would have suggested Veloren!
I think pop culture is actually what got me into his stuff! Used to listen to DJ earworm back then and I heard about this mashup by Madeen and I was like “whoa”
looking forward to the release as well! I got the chance to see it live and man it was fantastic




I’m not doing well. Extremely upset due to politics and unsure how to manage my feelings of dread and inaction. I need to do something, but I don’t know what.
Might organize a protest some time soon. Never done that before.
