I have a few of these as well. Electric resistive heating like this is pretty safe. There's no control logic or anything, just a passive, high resistance wire. If a wire breaks it's going to just stop working. Unless you plug it in in the wrong country there's really no way for it to overheat.
Not to mention cats are pretty smart and will just leave when they're uncomfortable.
I host this instance just for myself. I use bans locally to curate my all feed. I don't really need problematic people getting alerts about what I do.
I agree, this is a wild reactionary shift to the issues they've seen with kbin. Unless the community "consensus" includes people actually reviewing and testing this is just going to put the repo admins in a tough situation when they have to merge in some broken commit the community voted on.
Distributed but high trust.
Zero-trust blockchain tech has no value. There is no such thing as a zero trust system in real life.
Except blockchain solves no useful problems so you will never find it behind anything that isn't explicitly using it for marketing.
It was a game set in Eberron.
My profile pic is Hesitan, a half-elf druid, dragon marked member of house Lyrandar and accomplished airship pilot.
Hestian's recently discovered half-sister Mardu, a vengeance paladin, aberrant marked, and a survivor of a Breland suicide squad during the war. Not to mention an excellent weaver.
Ragnar, a dragonborn rune fighter, retired war hero, and accomplished chef (with his own food truck) from the eastern jungles of Q'barra.
Lathe, a warforged artificer and his loyal companion Ward. Once a worker in House Cannith's warforged factories. On an epic quest to rediscover the secrets of creating warforged to allow his people to control their own destiny.
Elena, a ranger and dragon marked member of house Vadalis and her bird companion. An expert and researcher on the Mournland and its aberrant denizens.
The DM of our D&D game commissioned art of our party at the end of the campaign. My profile is a crop of my character.
Here we see parts 2 and 6 of the narcissist prayer:
Lemmy is free of corporate influence, but it's still a community with standards. I'm sorry you can't fit in here.
It's literally the same argument. A virus exists that disproportionately affects a group of people. That group is uninteresting to me so instead of just saying I don't give a shit I call it a force of nature.
We are a little special because we can conceptualize how our actions will affect the spreas of a disease. A world leader is a little more special in that regard because they can enact policy to curb disease on a wide scale.
Having the knowledge and power to help and not doing anything is a moral failing. Blaming it on nature is covering that failing with nonsense.
Its as true as saying AIDs was nature's way of dealing with gay people. Which is to say it's absolutely untrue and way of passing off moral responsibility to anthropomorphized concepts.
