  • Yeah just a casual interest. Not enough that I'd really call it a hobby, and certainly not a career. But a little more than a few random titbits. This video's not a bad quick intro to the reasoning I used in my previous comment.

    When both say “I love privacy”

  • The '500 Days of Summer "Have You Ever Heard Of"' meme template, showing two images of a man talking to a woman in a record store.

    The first has the man saying "I love privacy" and the woman replying "Me too".

    The second shows 7 purple-coloured app logos above the man. Many in generic shapes, but one shows a lock keyway, and one shows a cat with a golden bell collar. Above the woman is the Google Chrome logo and a screenshot saying "You've gone Incognito".

  • They might have actually somehow managed to come up with worse logos than Google uses. I assume the top one is an email app, the bottom left is a file manager, and bottom centre is a password manager? But I'm less than certain about those, and everything else is a complete mystery.

  • ants...having no stinging capacity

    But that's like...one of the defining features that a 6-year-old could tell you about them?

  • Fish could be defined as the most recent common ancestor of tuna and herring, and all of its descendants. That would exclude sharks and lungfish, but would include most other groups that we unambiguously recognise as fish, while excluding tetrapods.

  • Yup. Birds are reptiles! If you want to define a monophyletic clade that includes crocodiles and lizards, there is no way to do that without also including birds. To define a clade, you take the evolutionary tree and make a "cut" somewhere on it. Everything below that cut is part of the same clade, you can't selectively remove some branches but not others, unless it's by changing where you make your single cut.

    So in this diagram:

    The green circle notwithstanding, you would usually define reptile as a cut at the "C" on the diagram. You could put the cut at Lepidosauria, but that would mean crocodiles and turtles are no longer considered reptiles either.

    A more zoomed-in look would show that after crocodiles and birds branched apart, you also get another branch where pterosaurs branch away from dinosaurs, and that birds are one of many branches and subbranches of dinosaur.

  • uh, slugs are bugs

    I'mma be honest, I would not instinctively agree with this.

  • Sure, but we're having this conversation in 2025, after phylogenetic classification has long since taken over as the way we describe the relations between species.

    Birds are unambiguously reptiles.

    Mammals are not reptiles, but are the most closely-related animals to them.

  • as far apart as you are from a reptile

    That would mean...not very. Reptiles are an extremely broad and diverse group, containing everything from penguins and crocodiles to tuataras and pythons. Mammals are the most closely-related extant clade that is generally not considered "reptile", to reptiles.

    Arachnids, on the other hand, are more distantly related to insects. Crustaceans form their closest relatives, followed by myriapods (centipedes & millipedes). Only then do arachnids appear.

  • Ok but "bug" has multiple meanings, and almost nobody means "hemiptera" when they say it. More commonly, it's any terrestrial arthropod. Arachnids are bugs. Centipedes are definitely bugs.

    Heck, there's a broader definition that basically includes all arthropods. "Moreton bay bugs" are a popular food this time of year. And they're a kind of lobster.

    what kind of beer do spiders drink? bug lite

    By "Mentally Healthy" @EAT_ROAD...:

    bad joke, spiders are not bugs only insects of the order hemiptera classified as bugs and spiders aren't even insects. maybe if you drank fewer beer and spent more time studying you would know that but it's your life

  • What's the advantages/disadvantages to hosting Nextcloud with Docker vs the Package Center on a Synology?

    Jump

  • @non_burglar@lemmy.world is correct, but is perhaps not explaining it perfectly for the practical questions you seem to be asking.

    If you have, say, two Docker containers for two different web servers (maybe one's for your Wiki, and the other is for your portfolio site), you can have both listening on ports 80 and 443 of their container, but a third Docker container running a reverse proxy which has access to your machine's ports 80 and 443. It then looks at the incoming request and decides which container to route the request to (e.g., http://192.168.1.2/wiki/%s requests go to the Wiki container, and all other requests go to portfolio site).

    Now, reverse proxies can be run without Docker, but the isolation Docker adds makes it all a lot easier to manage, in part because you don't need to configure loads of different ports.

  • Australia begins enforcing world-first teen social media ban

  • Sorry mate, but you've got it wrong. The Prime Minister has specifically come out and said that this law is aimed only at companies, and that children or the parents of children who are able to get onto social media anyway will not be punished. Only the companies that let them slip through.

    And you only need to read the legislation to see that that's true. There are no penalties associated with accessing social media under the age of 16. Only with "a provider of an age-restricted social media platform...failing to take reasonable steps to prevent age-restricted users having accounts". Or less closely related, "a provider of an age-restricted social media platform must not collect information...for the purpose of complying with [the above requirement] if the information is of a kind specified in the legislative rules", and another similar "a provider of an age-restricted social media platform must not...collect government-issued identification material...for the purpose of complying with section [the above requirement]", but this last clause "does not apply if...the provider provides alternative means...for an individual to assure the provider that the individual is not an age-restricted user". It is also the case that a person who provides an age-restricted social media platform "must comply with a requirement...to give to the Commissioner, within the period and in the manner and form specified by the notice [about that person's compliance with the law]...to the extent that the person is capable of doing so."

    That's it. That's all the new penalties that can be applied.

    Here's a page from the eSafety Commissioner that also confirms it.

    Are there be penalties for under-16s if they get around the age restrictions?

    There are no penalties for under-16s who access an age-restricted social media platform, or for their parents or carers.

  • The fact is, right now we know that Facebook has at times made a deliberate, conscious choice to leave in aspects of their algorithm that were causing harm. Their own studies have shown this. Making that practice illegal—knowingly causing harm with your algorithm—would be a good place to start with regulation.

    I don't think anyone had ever suggested anything like that.
