Its a quote from Rogue One if I’m not mistaken

I edited one word of my comment because I had another reply from someone who misunderstood what I was referring to, so i clarified so there wouldnt be further confusion, not to give myself an excuse to be snarky.

• I’ve read the article you’ve provided a number of times previously and while yes, it does indicate that there is no scientific evidence for my claim, it is limited to the UK.

• I don’t see what interbreed-ability has to do with invasiveness?

I don’t care about some American publication talking about cats

• I provided 3 sources, one was American, the others were from Oxford (also in the UK last I checked) and Tillburg (Netherlands), both discussing the EU broadly

• Here is another study from the checks notes British Ecological Society which concludes in part

“…It is also well established that free-ranging cats pose a significant threat to biodiversity conservation and restoration worldwide, and that remedying this threat is relatively easy when compared to other drivers of biodiversity loss…”

If you’re not going to read the evidence I’m providing, while saying I’m only providing americentric evidence, then I’m going to respectfully abandon this thread. I apologize for the snark, that was uncalled for.

Edit: formatting only

I was specifically referring to domesticated cats not being native to these regions since that was what is being discussed.

Fantastically, a wild cat isn’t a domestic cat! Wow! Who knew!

• I’m not american

• The discussion involved housecats, I assumed it would be obvious that I was referring to housecats, not fucking wildcats

• Housecats are native to Egypt and are descendants of the African wildcat

Stop thinking that things that make you feel bad about your world view are “patently false information based on an amero-centric worldview”. Please and fucking thank you

Except plastic straws aren’t actively hunting marine creatures.

Domesticated cats are not native to north america and western Europe, and people should be more responsible in how they care for their pets, especially the ones that are invasive fucking species.

Also, 2 things can be true. It’s possible that bird populations are being decimated by ecological destruction as well as the mass breeding and free roaming of invasive predators introduced by humans.

Edit: clarified that I meant domesticated cats

It’s a paid search engine, so their only priority is serving you good search results. It feels like using google before the 2012-ish enshittification.

Have you tried Kagi?

I… Where are you buying Caesars that you’re getting them with fried pickles/onion rings/etc?

Or am I misunderstanding and you meant that those are on the side?

I was pretty happy with tuta, but I just switched to proton for the IMAP/SMTP support.

The point is that if someone really wants to get into your device, they will. It doesn’t matter if youre using open source firmware, in a custom implementation of linux, on a MIPS CPU, and you personally build every package from source and complete a compliance code review before installing it, etc.etc.etc. If government agency x is targeting you specifically, your best line of security is to lock your device in a safe, take a boat into the middle of the ocean, and then dump it at an unrecorded location and never retrieve it.

A device is only secure as long as you are not using it, and it is not accessible physically, or by network.

You do you dude, I’m just saying your advice is awful for the average user.

Firefox with ublock origin and you will unironically have an near identical experience

Does your threat model involve The Mossad? There’s no way on earth that you are genuinely remembering multiple 512 byte random passwords, let alone actually taking the time to type them in.

Having a password manager, with MFA, a strong master password, and rule based device verification is ultimately more secure as you can have every password be randomized.

Best practices are best practices for a reason. I recommend you follow them.

Genuinely terrible advice. Every popularly available password manager service hashes all your passwords, if they have a data breach they have extremely strict reporting compliance and the majority of services will re-hash all your passwords. If youre so extremely concerned about that, host your own.

But what concerns me the most is

Unless they specify they only store the hash I refuse to sacrifice one of my strong passwords.

… What to you mean sacrifice?

Narrowing to 3 is always difficult but these tend to shuffle around in the top spot

• The Outer Wilds

• Disco Elysium

• Legend of Zelda, Majora’s mask

Imagine having a raging hard-on for another corporation that doesn’t give two fucks about you

Not everything works this way

You can still seed without port forwarding, not being able to port forward only affects how many clients can seed from you. Not being able to port forward causes it to be limited to only other people who are able to port forward.

See my edit for a little additional clarity but I’m glad I could help!

No port forwarding ever set up on my system! It’s bound to my interface and lockdown mode is enabled, all leeching and seeding is tunnelled fully.

Edit: as far as I’m aware, not being able to port forward only limits who you can seed to. Meaning you can only seed to those who do have port forwarding.

I can confirm that Mullvad tunnelled seeding still works even with the port forwarding changes
