  • From the article:

    Fourteen staff members at a US animal shelter were hospitalised on Wednesday after the FBI used an incinerator at the facility to burn two pounds of seized methamphetamine.

    Staff and some 75 cats and dogs were evacuated from the Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter in Billings, Montana, when the building filled with smoke.

    The incinerator is usually used by animal control officers to dispose of euthanised animals, but local authorities said it can also be used by law enforcement to burn seized narcotics.

    The cats and dogs have been relocated, and the animals which experienced the most smoke exposure are now under supervision.















  • I second Futo, nothing compares to the abilities of the iPhone keyboard, at least that is what I remember last time I used an iphone, because nothing on android suits my fat fingers. The biggest draw for me with the FUTO keyboard is the built in voice to text function, that is a game changer and it’s all done on device.

    Edit: I don’t think it is available though on F-droid, but I seem to remember Louise Rossman’s reasoning for that was clear and reasonable.






  • Honestly chat GTP is your friend. Or download an applications like Sim Daltonism that simulate how colors appear to individuals with different types of color blindness.

    A.I response.

    To understand how a cartoon like Harvey Birdman might look to a colorblind person, it’s essential to consider the different types of color blindness and how they affect color perception.

    Types of Color Blindness

    1. Red-Green Color Blindness: This is the most common form, which includes:
    • Protanopia: Difficulty distinguishing between red and green hues.
    • Deuteranopia: Similar to protanopia but affects green perception more.
    1. Blue-Yellow Color Blindness: Less common, affecting the ability to differentiate between blue and yellow colors (tritanopia).

    2. Complete Color Blindness: A rare condition where individuals see the world in shades of gray.

    Visual Representation in Cartoons

    • Color Perception: For someone with red-green color blindness, colors that are typically vibrant red or green may appear muted or indistinguishable. For instance, a bright green tree might look more like a grayish or brownish color, and red objects may blend into greens or browns.

    • Cartoon Examples: In cartoons, characters and backgrounds often rely on bright, contrasting colors to convey emotions and actions. To a colorblind person, these contrasts may be less pronounced. For example:

    • A cartoon featuring a red apple on a green background might appear as a grayish shape against a similarly muted backdrop.

    • Characters with red or green clothing may look similar in hue, making it challenging to distinguish between them.
