  • Hey lil guy

  • Just to confirm, you don’t think of jewel wasps, spider wasps, sand wasps, and flower wasps as wasps, since they’re not part of the Vespidae, correct?

    Negative, those are all considered wasps alongside Vespidae. I said "that logic doesn't check out" because what you had essentially said in that previous reply was "if wasp==wasp and wasp==wasp, then so are ants and bees", which is.. well.. false.

    It also erases the very wasp-like nature of ant ancestors

    That ancestry is pretty much expressed in Formicidae belonging to the Aculeata infraorder, though I do agree that putting them under some sort of vespid superfamily would be even more fitting, since ants pretty much did evolve from wasps.

  • If that’s a wasp and a yellow-jacket is a wasp, then so are ants and bees,

    That logic doesn't check out, given Sapygidae is a family of sapygid wasps belonging to the Aculeata infraorder.

    Aculeata is named after its defining feature, which is the modification of the ovipositor into a stinger. This trait doesn't strictly constitute a wasp, which is why they have their own families (Vespidae, Sapygidae, Pompilidae, Myrmosidae, basically all of the Chrysidoidea superfamily, etc.).

    All wasps are aculeate, but not all aculeates are wasps.

  • Yup! Was about to type out a similar reply. To further clarify:

    Hymenoptera - order of Insecta - ants, bees, wasps, hornetsAculeata - infraorder of Hymenoptera - bees, wasps, hornetsApidae - family of Aculeata - bees (also bumblebees)Vespidae - family of Aculeata - wasps, hornets Formicidae - family of Hymenoptera - ants

    edit20260227: forgot ants belong to aculeata

  • Browsers can't autoplay video and audio without the user's permission, and that permission is given via input events, mainly the click event. When you press the 'continue' button, you send a click event to the browser, which grants the script permission to play audio.

    There is likely an event listener on the 'continue' button that when pressed simply runs the audio script, which is allowed under autoplay rules (user interacted with the page). Not sure if that's actually the case since I'm currently on a phone and my internet connection is pure dogwater so I can't even get past the continue button.

  • This seems flipped, there's no way a majority of people like ads.

    Honestly from some of the interactions I've had with my peers I didn't even think of the meme as strange.

    Like one time I saw my roommate running Opera GX of all browsers without any adblockers and I asked him "don't these ads bother you?" and he responded, I shit you not, "no, quite the opposite! they're really helpful!". I didn't say anything because at that moment I was genuinely stunlocked.

  • Bit late to the party, but I finished reading William Gibson's Neuromancer not too long ago. One of the foundational books of cyberpunk, and I can see why. I really liked it! And it's not too long a read either, at 280ish pages if I recall correctly.

  • that might just stem from the camera that took the photo. tons of budget phones have all kinds of messed up post processing integrated into the camera. i have a Xiaomi POCO X3 that has something akin to this smudging, and it persisted even after I flashed Ubuntu Touch on it

  • Aves Libre gallery app does not respect .nomedia?

    Jump

  • If you won't be able to get .nomedia to work, you can hide directories in the albums tab in Aves Libre - long press an album, and in the triple-dot menu in the top right you can select "Hide"

    This will hide the directory only on Aves' end, and it will still be able to be accessed in the settings menu, under "Privacy"

  • Do you like Astronomy? I'm looking for people who would want to hunt asteroids with me! :)

    Jump

  • Thank you!, but I'll have to decline because my life is anything but stable right now. Very likely something might come up during January and make me drop out after I had already registered. If that doesn't happen, I'll be able to assemble my own team for February no problem.

  • Awesome! I'll give it a look in February then

  • Any idea on when the campaign begins? I would love to help, but January is completely blocked up for me by various stuff. February would be optimal for me.

  • Pole chipping in. From what I've read, this psy-op has been in effect for around two weeks, but this is the first time I hear of it.

    Doesn't have to mean it wasn't effective, though. It's probably just waiting to hit critical mass. And when it does, knowing the current state of our demographic, it might sway a very significant amount of people towards the literal Torment Nexus from the classic novel Don't Build The Torment Nexus

  • Anyone able to ID these Soviet-era songs?

    Jump

  • Holy crap, didn't expect the entire list, thank you so much!

    Managed to ID Gruppa krovi right before you sent the list. Had a feeling that Pachka sigaret was from Кино as well, glad to see I was right!

  • No luck. These are way too old and niche to be indexed even by the bigger song identifiers
