  • I did some digging.

    First, this is not the standard “cowsay”, this appears to be from the NPM version of “cowsay”. (npm install -g cowsay)

    Second this is the “meow” cow, so cowsay -f meow "hello" . Also called “A meowing tiger?”.

    Third, the fortune is available in the, now commonly removed, fortunes-off, package. I know Debian removed it, I think others did too. But you can install it manually.

    And finally the source of the quote seems to be “Jester’s Condescending English Dictionary”.

    Of note KitKats made in the US are made by Hershey, not Nestle. As I understand it’s a legacy licencing deal and Nestle makes no money if you buy a US KitKat.

    That being said Hershey’s chocolate is what it is. American’s are used to it, but it’s not great.

    David F. Sandberg aka “ponysmasher” comes to mind. He started doing largely horror films himself on no/low budgets. One of his own films got opportunity to become a feature film. That then gave him future opportunities, the largest of which was Shazam! (2019).


    Additionally when YouTube Premium (YouTube Red at the time) first launched they also launched YouTube Originals. Many of those programs were created by YouTubers.

    The “Originals” eventually stopped being made, but it’s not clear if the issue was the content, the service or a bit of both.

    Think of it like web browsers.

    You can visit websites using Firefox, or you can visit websites using Chrome. Websites all speak the same language, so both Firefox & Chrome can load them.

    In the case of Lemmy & PieFed, they also speak the same language, in this case that language (or protocol) is called ActivityPub.

    So if you use a Lemmy app, it can talk to the different Lemmy servers, but it can also talk to different PieFed servers. Similarly if you use a PieFed app, it can talk to the different PieFed servers, but it can also talk to Lemmy servers.

    Now Lemmy & PieFed are not the exact same. In the same way British English and American English are not the exact same. So your Lemmy app might not let you login to a PieFed instance directly. But they are similar, so maybe one day.

    Since you are a lemm.ee user, your instance is going away, so you’ll need to pick a new instance. You can pick a Lemmy instance or a PieFed instance, but the one you pick may limit the apps your able to use. Both also have websites/web apps, so if you’re happy with the web version, you can use that too.

    I’ll also add that PieFed has some features that Lemmy doesn’t have. So if you pick PieFed you may get some new features. The downside may be that you can’t use your favorite app anymore.

    I suggest trying both, but it you’re not sure or ready, you can just pick another Lemmy server. You can always try PieFed at a later date.




  • whimsical nature

    Which is why my favorite Daniel Craig Bond moment is the Casino Royale naked torture scene. Bond telling the torturer to hit him again, then laughing because he’s “scratching my balls” is peak whimsy (within the new Bond universe).

    I want my Bond to be a bit silly, and that was sadly the only time they did it.
