Starting up wikis is so easy nowadays that there’s no excuse. I maintain a few Dokuwiki-based ones, it’s my preferred engine for simple wiki stuff, but Mediawiki (the same one that powers Wikipedia) is not bad either and not really too difficult, just a bit more demanding storage-wise. Heck, you can currently fire-and-forget DW-based wikis on SDF’s “one payment” access tier, even! Probably on Neocities too, haven’t checked.

Sounds (heh) good in theory, but so far it hasn’t been able to pick any radio in my country (Ar) or nearby. Inspector says any attempt to load a radio ends in a HTTP 403 error.

Okay so, lemme see if I understand, these animals all biogenetically modified themselves, at species-wide levels, to be able to eat both meat and plants? Even the ones who are philogenetically obligate carnivores?

Because if so, there is one philosophy / ideal that I’m not seeing reflected: “I’m not a cat [ / dog / whatever]. That species was molded by millions of years of history by their need to hunt meat to survive, their skills, body shape, prowess, all relies on such a fundamental inter-species relationship in nature remaining fundamental. So, if I was made to not need to eat meat, before being born to boot, I was forcibly deprived of an important part of my identity before I was born, all to placate a social norm. Thus, this society is built wrong, and I must fight to fix it / make it pay.”

Pretty nice, “failed to capture Primal Groudon and the world ended up like this” vibes!

To be fair (and this is something I don’t recall being established with or dealt with in the video) you need to at least trust that the backend is there. Currently if “lol CIA AWS” servers are not working, you don’t have an option (Advanced Settings or whatever) in Signal to choose another provider, such as say a self-hosted community server.

This is what capitalism prevents us from achieving! True catness!
