Various ant species do a similar thing where their soldiers have really big, flat heads and when their nest gets attacked, the soldiers stick their head into the entrance way, so the attackers can't come inside.

Apparently, this kind of behaviour is referred to as phragmosis.

Man, I hate the detours you're supposed to take as a pedestrian or bicyclist, so that car drivers don't get inconvenienced.

Interesting strategy after they already advertised their most recent game, Assassin's Creed Mirage, as going back to the roots...

No worries, I wouldn't know this, if I had not been in exactly the same situation, desperately trying to free up space by deleting packages and it just not working. Also, Snapper is easy to forget about, which is really a testament to how good it generally is.

The rightwing extremist party of Germany, AfD, also has ties to Russia...

I guess, at the end of the day, life is just a whole load of chemical reactions. Oxygen is popular for life on Earth, because it's available pretty much everywhere and because it releases energy when combined with carbon, which we've also got a lot of.

Presumably, you could stick any two elements that have an exothermic reaction into a box, give them an energy source with enough activation energy (akin to Earth's Sun), as well as a source of entropy and then, with enough time, life would find a way.

I don't think, that's quite the right verb in an open-source context...

In Southern Germany, we have a food roughly like a baguette, called a "Seele", which also happens to be the German word for "soul".

So, in my headcanon, the guy ate a baguette and they split his stomach in half. 🙃

I actually even made my own bullshit-Spotify. As in, I've got a server running on a single-board computer which reads my music folder and serves a small music player as a webpage.

I didn't want to install a music player client on my work laptop, but still wanted to listen to my own songs there.

This looks like one of the color blindness filters got activated. Here on Plasma 6, it's a Desktop Effect in the System Settings. Not quite sure, if that was also already the case in Plasma 5, but if you just type "blind" into the search bar of the System Settings, then it should show up and you can disable it.

Redditors gladly fall for drama and clickbait. Mozilla being a non-profit at its core means they're supposed to be the good guys, so if they do anything that could be interpreted badly, or even if they don't, journalists will publish stories about it and Redditors will gladly lap that shit up.
If Google tries to rape them, that's yet another Tuesday, boring.
