Where I grew up, it wasn’t uncommon to see squirrels eating roadkill. Sometimes that roadkill was other squirrels.

Is it cannibalism if you eat your brother BUT he’s already dead and you didn’t kill him?

Death Cab for Cutie is my favorite by far. I’ve seen them live 4 times.

I’ve also seen their frontman perform solo twice, and once more with his other project the Postal Service.

A United Nations conference is scheduled to meet in one month

The lack of urgency here is unbearable. How many more kids will die over this one month?

That’s true! I supposed it would be more precise to say that all processes are files loaded to memory, but not all files loaded to memory are processes. Sort of like the whole arachnids / spiders situation.

I’d call that a file loaded to memory

As I assume most of you are aware

I most certainly was not! After some searching, I found an article about Synology’s new restrictions on which hard drives can be used in Synology’s NASs.

A few important notes:

1. This is a completely bullshit decision on Synology’s part. Unacceptable, and a total overreach.
2. This only applies to new DiskStation/RackStation models, so if you already have yours, you should be fine — as far as I can tell.
3. The internet has responded with a “hack” already: https://github.com/007revad/Synology_HDD_db?utm_source=syndication&pubDate=20250505

A prediction: This is a scream test. Within a month, Synology will walk this back. They’ll make some excuse about it taking time to test other hard drive brands for compatibility. They’ll claim that they never intended to prevent you from using whatever hard drives you want, that they just needed to make 100% sure everything was perfect first, and that they always had your best interests at heart.

This will all be a lie, of course. The real plan is to measure how loud their biggest customers scream about this change. And then, maybe a year or two from now, they’ll quietly update a user agreement or a warranty document to reduce coverage for NASs that use third-party hard drives. Maybe they’ll add some extra “safety features” to DSM for third-party hard drives (of course with the intention of keeping you safe) that will cause a “minor” performance hit.

I’m sure that if you subscribe to DSM Premium for a reasonable monthly fee, all of your problems will be solved.

Each one is like a little dream I’m not willing to give up on yet.

Fair enough! Maybe if enough organizations follow suit, they’ll be forced to stop ignoring their service being used by spammers and scammers.

Right now they have no incentive to stop abuse on their platform, because they’re making money off of that abuse too. It’s bullshit.

We're not participating in protests to protect her.

This is 100% the correct choice. I know it’s hard to hang back when this affects you both so seriously, but it’s more important to protect yourselves right now.

I can’t believe these holocaust survivors are so antisemitic!

That’s actually a way more relevant take than my original comment. He’s still acting like tariffs are fees paid by foreign nations, when in fact, they’re paid by the consumers in the nation imposing the tariffs.

Sadly (for those of us stuck in the US), the only people who will be hurt by these tariffs are the people whose best interests he’s supposed to be responsible for.

Explaining his approach to the tariff policy that has triggered weeks of turmoil on global markets, the - president compared the US to the world's department store.

"I am this giant store. It's a giant, beautiful store, and everybody wants to go shopping there," he said.

"And on behalf of the American people, I own the store, and I set prices, and I'll say, 'If you want to shop here, this is what you have to pay.' "

This sounds like the thinking of a dictator, not of a leader. He doesn’t own the “store”, the people do.
