Evil in so far as there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, but beyond that evil is a stretch

i'd rather they just start using .config for storing configurations and just keep the sensitive data in the profile.

I can't see the paper on that page, just the image, is there more to it than just the image and the claim?

What snakes have they checked?

edit: I think this is really about identifying rattlesnakes, more than about identifying venomous snakes in general. There's two counterexamples on the "anal scale" page of wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anal_scale

the undivided end on an elapid venomous snake, and the divided on a colubrid

It's not even an indicator, there's places where the opposite is true, this is like the myth of the vertical slit pupils meaning they're venomous, there's no actual correlation, this just coincidentally works in areas with few snake species, but you'd have to know that ahead of time, and since there's few species wherever this does work, you might as well just learn what the venomous snakes look like so this is practically completely useless.

This usually happens when somebody learns that in their local area this rule applies, and then assumes it applies everywhere.

They even acknowledge mastodon is growing and twitter is shrinking, write this article when mastodon starts shrinking and twitter starts growing
