They separated pretty far back, so they're about equally related to jackals, dogs, wild dogs, various wolf species, and coyotes.

Ancient DNA is pretty degraded, so it's hard to get an exact number. It's estimated they diverged more than 5 million years ago, so it's probably hundreds or thousands of different genes.

wikipedia article

Scientists rewrote 14 key genes in gray wolf EPC cells to express 20 dire wolf traits meaning that "no ancient dire wolf DNA was actually spliced into the gray wolf's genome."

It's still impressive, but they only changed 14 genes. These are much more wolf than dire wolf.

It reminded me of Iji.

There's pinetta that's inspired by pinterest, but the repo hasn't been updated in a couple years.

They're not browsers, but if you want lemmy in the terminal there's Neon Modem Overdrive, which also handles Discourse forums and some other sites. For emacs there's lem.el.

Fascist ideas don't spread because they make good points. They spread because they get repeated so much. People who don't know any better believe it because they've heard it so many times, or from someone they trust. Federating with fascists gives them more people to spread their ideas to.

Talking to conservatives can definitely help, but it really depends on the context. Just having people who they disagree with in their lives can can be helpful. If you're someone they trust you might get them to work through some things. Or if you know a topic really well and know what talking points they're likely to bring up. But it's nearly impossible to get though to people who already hate you.

Everyone is at a different place with what they want to handle. Some people just want a small friendly community where they have a chance to relax. Others want a more open communities that only keep out the worst. And some are okay with putting up with harassment to reach more people. But generally we shouldn't force others to put up with that harassment along with us.

I generally prefer to federate with as many communities as possible, but federating with fascists is a terrible idea. You're just making people in your community vulnerable to harassment.

People are self organizing onto these instances, and if they don't like their current one it's not hard to move. Most people won't move to one that allows nazis in.

There's also clauses about revoking your license if you try to sue them, and how you need to still include the system to pay them in your modified version.

I'm pretty sure most screen readers and stuff like copy/paste would also get whatever nonsense you filled it with.

A lot of the ways they scrape documents are the same used by accessibility tools, so I'd generally recommend against doing this.

Those top players represent a mere 0.01% of all bitcoin holders and yet they control 27% of the digital currency, the Wall Street Journal reported. That compares to the old-fashion dollar, where the top 1% controlled 30% of total U.S. household wealth, according to Federal Reserve data.
