Is the driver of behaviour having too many chickens packed in too small space?

No. Chickens have a tendency to gang up on sick and injured chickens and quite literally peck them to death.

This has been observed long before we started cramming them into tiny spaces, but it certainly doesn't help.


As a rural guy can confirm.

Also, the males, become quite agressive past 4 months of age. They also grow sizeable spurs hard as nails, usually these are trimmed if you have more than one rooster. Roosters will attempt to kill chicks occasionally, although they usually do a great job protecting them from predators. They are able to scare foxes sometimes :)


Does anyone remember Munich Linux project and how Microsoft eventually bribed Munich to drop it?

Someone actually uses Google Chat...?

Google has a chat product?

it's the best

Well given how many they have decommissioned...

Oh no, that's how you know it's nearing the point of being reaped and thrown in the graveyard!

Extremely unlikely. It’s ubiquitous internally.

Don't worry, they're not following the "deprecate and cancel" playbook for that. They seem to be using the "copy a competitor poorly" one. The few features I liked about it, that distinguished it from Slack, disappeared in the latest update.

Almost everyone inside Google


Yes. Especially on Android, FF with uBlock Origin is the superpower.

The problem is that in the indie game market, where most 2d sprites are drawn, there is not enough money going around making many studios profitable. By reducing cost of manual 2d animation, more studios can be profitable and able to deliver better, more finished, games. Then studios can pay decent salaries to employees.

You do not need stop VPN or have age verification websites. You can just lock down Android/iOS/Edge against a blacklist of porn sites. Many providers are selling this as a service.

But it would be up to the parents to do this.


You can say the same thing about alcohol, nicotine, driving, etc. As a society, we can decide that you cannot provide certain products and services to children and we can make that provision a crime.

A state where a police makes the laws is called a police state.

What is then called a state where a secret police makes the laws?


Already in the EU Spain, Poland and Hungary are illegally using Pegasus spyware to spy their own opposition politicians. Why they should settle less with lawful means if they already use illegal means.

That's some secret service or at least non public things though, what is being regulated is "clear day" practices

I know it's not the best, but still


And why do you think this regulation would stop abuse if it were made available? Poland has corrupted judges who were onboard with opposition spying.

"But the commission cannot do much – CBA [Central Anticorruption Bureau] management and the Constitutional Tribunal, packed with PiS [judges], are obstructing its proceedings. In such an environment, any work based on facts and merit is pretty much impossible.”"

Regulation is not to stop abuse of the law, regulation is made to say what can be done lawfully

But, in this case, we are not talking only about regulation, but having a law-mandated backdoor in the every device on the planet.

Stopping abuse is not to have that backdoor.


xAI is paying to be "the default" AI of s chat app of 1B monthly active users.

They pay for distribution and they likely believe they can later monetise this by sheer mass, roping people in Grok or offering professional paid services.

Telegram has in-app monetisation for 50 payment providers and more than hundred countries. They also have crypto but it is unrelated.

Also if someone still believes into the freedom of speech, Telegram was just banned in Vietnam this week when they refused bend the knee to the government. It aligns with Musk's ideology.


Disagree with that last point. Musk bends his knee regularly and censors his X users, because he has so many business conflicts of interest. https://qz.com/elon-musk-x-twitter-transparency-brazil-turke...

Telegram made $500M profit at ~1.3B revenue.

Revenue comes from ads and premium users and some minor sources.
