That’s honestly an awful comparison. Wild predators don’t consume more than the environment can sustain, domestic cats represent either an artificial demand for farmed meat, which is bad for the environment, or they hunt themselves which is awful for the environment as well as they’re an invasive species everywhere and already the cause of dozens of extinctions.

Everyone obviously already gets that
The first comment of this chain literally says:
easily prevent all the damage to the local environment by just keeping your cat inside.
So no, mybe it’s not obvious for everyone and maybe even obvious things need to be said occasionally for oblivious folks.

With scorpions its the size of the parts that counts.
Big pinchers: Probably hunts without venom -> probably safe
Big tail (like this fella here): Probably hunts with venom -> probably unsafe
But even venomous scorpions are pretty chill tbh, they spook me way less than spiders

Telemetry is usually non-identifiable (by law if your country follows GDPR).
This form if ID is also pretty circumstantial. That might fly for advertisers but in a court of law I have my doubts.

If you allow everything and all cookies most things are possible in theory. In practice most distros are secure enough and most users savvy enough to not accept everything blindly that it probably doesn’t happen.

Idk man, listening to Israel politicians and settlers (Have you watched Louis Theroux’s documentary?) it seems wayward to only point the finger at Palestinians who only ever experienced being beat down by an oppressor state.
I denounce Hamas terrorists and Israeli apartheid Ethnonationalists.

Bandcamp is owned by the biggest music licensing conglomerate in the world, how is that not corporate?
We absolutely could help by not fucking spreading an invasive predator to every corner of this globe just because we find them cute. That’s morally reprehensible considering how dangerous cats are to local fauna:
https://www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.1602480113
“Introduced rodents and cats are major agents of extinction, collectively being listed as causal factors in 44% of modern bird, mammal, and reptile species extinctions.”
