I dislike it when people do that. You can't excuse your wrongness by admitting you're wrong beforehand...
I almost hope this is what that was... it would make a bit less horrible. Not by much tho.
just don't look at it
Despite >100 years of entomological surveys, the bone collector species has only been found in a 15-km2 area of mesic forest in the Waiʻanae mountain range on the island of Oʻahu. Typically, an endemic Hawaiian lineage will contain multiple species with similar habits distributed across at least part of the archipelago [e.g., (11, 12)], but no other member of the bone collector lineage has been found. Phylogenomic analysis shows that the bone collector lineage is at least 6 million years old, >3 million years older than the island of Oʻahu (Fig. 3) (13).
The forest is being increasingly occupied by invasive species.

I did this a lot with poptarts as a kid. I'm sure I would still do it, but I hate poptarts now.
~~...the species is known by many common names, including jungle centipede, orange-legged centipede, Hawaiian centipede, and Vietnamese centipede.~~
~~...it is also found on virtually all land areas around and within the Indian Ocean, all of tropical and subtropical Asia from Russia to the islands of Malaysia and Indonesia, Australia, South and Central America, the Caribbean islands, and possibly parts of the southern United States...~~
I think it's actually Scolopendra alternans because the one pictured has only 4 segments on it's antennae, but subspinipes has many.
Scolopendra alternans is a species group found in the whole Caribbean island and northern South America, with the Florida population reevaluated as a distinct species Scolopendra longipes.[1] They have also been reported as far north as Georgia.
noooo it just wants to fertilize your hotdogs it didn't do anything wrong

Cross-posted from "Calibre subreddit succumbs to (probable) pressure and removes a thread discussing a fully legal way of bypassing an e-book DRM solution (LCP) created by a particularly litigious organization" by @[email protected] in [email protected]
Sorry for the long title. Some context to this: Readium LCP is a DRM-solution created and delivered by the non-profit foundation EDRLab (I guess we've learned by now that non-profit doesn't equal good), based in France.
EDRLab is an international, non-profit development laboratory working on the deployment of an open, interoperable and accessible digital publishing ecosystem worldwide.
In recent years they've gained a large market share in the EU first and foremost, providing both regular e-book shops in many EU countries and libraries with this DRM (if you're interested in some more technical information regarding this DRM solution, I'd recommend reading Terence's previous blog post). What's particular to this solution is that they've historically been very litigious about any attempts to DeDRM it. The most famous plugin for DeDRMing books in Calibre (mainly Adobe DRM) has been the NoDRM plugin, and they did release a DeDRM solution to LCP v1.0 but they were threatened with legal action with a DMCA takedown request (read more on Github).
In recent days, Terence Eden posted a fully legal solution on his blog on how to bypass their DRM. This was also posted to the /r/Calibre subreddit, see the following image:
I also made a thread on Lemmy here.
Nonetheless, after around a day the thread was removed on the Calibre subreddit. The only rule I could find that maybe could be applied to this (if it was illegal, and if Terence did this with any other material that wasn't his own) is the rule against piracy. But it feels weird.
This subreddit has previously allowed, and still allow, discussions around the NoDRM plugin and how to DeDRM the Adobe DRM. What makes this fully legal solution of bypassing LCP any different? It can probably be deduced that the EDRLab foundation contacted the subreddits moderators, or reddit admins, and "threatened" them in order to have it taken down. Or guilt tripped them as they also did towards Terence. Aside from their previous DMCA takedown request to the NoDRM people, just look at their arrogant correspondence towards Terence (more in his blog post). Threatening him on no legal basis as well as somehow blaming their failure on developing accessibility tools to him posting about this solution:
"We were planning to now focus on new accessibility features on our open-source Thorium Reader, better access to annotations for blind users and an advanced reading mode for dyslexic people. Too bad; disturbances around LCP will force us to focus on a new round of security measures, ensuring the technology stays useful for ebook lending (stop reading after some time) and as a protection against oversharing."
These are some of the reasons why I think a federated web will be necessary moving forth. I really dislike DRM, but also these methods that DRM organizations use in order to control the conversation. Thanks for reading and engaging with my small fixation on DRM and especially LCP :)
