Mematic is really the only generator I can get on my phone that doesn’t suck. Unless I were to pay £4.99 per month for Mematic Pro, the watermark cannot be removed without some godawful cropping.
Oh fuck off, you absolute nitwit.
I’m sweating too. My hobbyist software brand is called X-Industries.
@sl1200@nixnet.social Thanks!
You’re welcome. Good luck in geminispace!
I have considered the repercussions of importing Japanese honeybees (which are able to defend themselves against Asian hornets), but I don’t know enough about bees to see if it would be a good idea.
It’s a network protocol, like HTTP/S. It was inspired by the Gopher protocol from the '90s, but it supports basic text formatting (with Markdown-like syntax) and forces TLS encryption.
Here’s the homepage: gemini.circumlunar.space
Here’s a Gemini browser I like: gmi.skyjake.fi/lagrange
Here’s my personal Gemini capsule (the equivalent of a website): gemini://deafeningcreationearthquake.flounder.online
And here’s an old Gopher hole, for comparison: gopher://gopher.linkerror.com:70/1/txt_index
Please note that you will need a Gemini browser to view these sites. I recommend Lagrange, which is cross-platform, FOSS, and supports Gopher, Gemini, Finger, and Spartan; but other software is available.
Sorry if I’ve made this sound confusing.
tl;dr: It’s an alternative to HTTP.
Honestly, as soon as there’s a video sharing site and a few of my friends move, I’ll be good to just abandon the web for Gemini.
Yeah, but I already have a phobia of wasps.
You know, smoke might actually keep them away. I’ll need to test this theory, but you could be onto something.
Man, I’d kill for a lovely hot curry about now.
I hear you. However, here are two sources for their high euthanasia rate:

Washington Post (Archived): https://web.archive.org/web/20150315024559/https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/religion/at-petas-shelter-most-animals-are-put-down-peta-calls-them-mercy-killings/2015/03/12/e84e9af2-c8fa-11e4-bea5-b893e7ac3fb3_story.html
I would also like to say that I prefer to support other charities, such as the RSPCA, IFAW, Cruelty Free International, and the RSPB.
Where to begin…
Let’s start with their high euthanasia rates. Multiple sources state that PETA euthanises upwards of 80% of the animals it takes in. There’s also the 2014 incident where PETA workers took a pet Chihuahua from its porch and euthanized it the same day.
Then there was the “Got Autism?” campaign in the late 2000s and early 2010s. This campaign stated that “Studies have shown a link between cow’s milk and autism.” PETA also claimed that consuming milk was strongly linked to cancer, Crohn’s disease, and other diseases. This has been proven repeatedly to be disinformation. The campaign also received backlash from the autism community. A 2008 PETA billboard was taken down by the Autistic Self Advocacy Network. In 2017, British food writer, journalist and hunger relief activist Jack Monroe, demanded PETA remove their recipes from their website “with immediate effect coz I wrote them with my autism”. PETA removed their recipes, but did not remove the “Got Autism?” article from their website until 2021. It has been argued that the frowny face in the campaign image negatively stereotypes autistic people.
In 2009, PETA members dressed up in Ku Klux Klan robes and protested at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show where they passed out brochures implying the Klan and American Kennel Club have the same goal of “pure bloodlines”.
PETA has been critical of Australian wildlife expert and zookeeper Steve Irwin. In 2006, when Irwin died, PETA Vice President Dan Mathews said Irwin had made a career out of antagonizing frightened wild animals.
In 2019, PETA criticized Google for creating a slideshow Google Doodle of Steve Irwin posthumously honoring his 57th birthday. PETA started a Twitter campaign against Irwin, with several tweets criticizing Google for forwarding a dangerous message, and wrote that Irwin was killed while harassing a ray and that he forced animals to perform.
And that is why I think PETA are awful. Don’t get me wrong: I still stand for animal welfare; just not with this particular group.
As awful as PETA is, that’s savage.
It’s a FOSS file hosting service, run by @mia@movsw.0x0.st
Also, it does support HTTPS. It’s just that, when you upload a file with cURL, it spits out an HTTP link.
Mlem just doesn’t yet support uploads.
Pretty much every Windows and Android user. At my school Chrome is the standard, so I ended up taking in Phyrox on a stick until I could start bringing my own hardware.
I used 0x0.st. Mlem doesn’t support uploading documents.
Pretty sure that’s acid you’re talking about.
