They come with it, but it's not very refined without training. They actually need a lot of training to not herd people, especially children. Since humans don't respond the same way as sheep the dog will keep escalating its herding behavior until it bites the human.

I heard an anecdote once of a couple that was camping in a dispersed area with their border collie and the dog ran away. They called and searched and were basically resigned to the loss of their dog, when at dusk they heard a huge commotion. Suddenly their dog drove an entire herd of elk through the campsite.

    After witnessing the downfall of Reddit, both because of enshittification and in the overall discourse, it felt silly to jump to another neoliberal community. I feel the same way about Blue Sky.

    I don't care about instance rivalries at all. Reddit refugees fleeing the dismal quagmire that is the inevitable result of capitalist social media and going to the place MLs created as a direct response to those conditions, then criticizing MLs, is kind of amusing but that's all. I created a .world account first because I didn't know the lay of the land then realized I didn''t really feel like reading those same jokes, quips, puns, and slogans ad nauseum. I'm glad the architecture of lemmy allows me to choose a refuge where I don't feel crazy. I regret it took me so long to find my people.

    I appreciate you coming here and asking this question.

    No 'My Cousin Vinny'? Unqualified.

    Also I know this is satire, but if the White House did say this it would almost certainly come out a week later that she hadn't seen these movies either.

    I can't stand the youtubeness of this video for long so forgive me if they mention this, but Weta, ILM, Pixar, Blizzard Cinematics Dept, Blue Sky (RIP), Rhythm & Hues (RIP), Buf, etc. used or have used Linux for years. Unix/Linux were the OG operating systems for computer graphics. Game studios are very Windows-centric.

    As reported by the guy himself, too:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Greenwald#2019_Operation_Car_Wash_Telegram_chat_leaks_in_Brazil

    On June 9, 2019, Greenwald and journalists from investigative journalism magazine The Intercept Brasil where he was an editor, released several messages exchanged via Telegram between members of the investigation team of Operation Car Wash – called Car Leaks. The messages implicated members of Brazil's judiciary system and of the Operação Lava-Jato taskforce... in the violation of legal and ethical procedures during the investigation, trial and arrest of former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, with the alleged objective of preventing him from running for a third term in the 2018 Brazilian general election, among other crimes. The FBI was also involved.

    ...Greenwald faced death threats and homophobic harassment from Bolsonaro supporters due to his reporting on the Telegram messages...The Washington Post reported that Greenwald had been targeted with fiscal investigations by the Bolsonaro government, allegedly as retaliation for the reporting

    ...On August 9, after Bolsonaro threatened to imprison Greenwald for this reporting.

    Some guy is currently facing federal charges for exactly that:

    Samuel Tunick is facing a federal felony after data on his Google Pixel was erased while Customs and Border Protection officers were trying to search the device at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. His attorneys are challenging the legality of the search, putting the government’s border search powers at the center of the criminal case.

    The encounter occurred on January 24, 2025, after Tunick returned to the United States from the Dominican Republic and was sent to secondary inspection. Federal officers sought access to his phone, and court records state that Tunick eventually provided a passcode. When an officer entered it, the screen went blank, flashed several times and appeared to restart. Prosecutors allege the phone’s contents had been deleted.

    A federal grand jury indicted Tunick in November 2025 under 18 U.S.C. § 2232(a). The law makes it a crime to knowingly destroy, damage or take other action against property for the purpose of preventing or interfering with the government’s lawful authority to take it into custody. A conviction can carry up to five years in prison.

    Detailed quest log/journal is a must. I hate it when quest logs don't show what you've already completed.

    Ok, I have to break into the office to steal the trophy but WHY? Talk to Fred, WHO THE FUCK IS FRED?

    In this episode Butters is visiting Niagara Falls as a tourist, but he is arrested for being a foreigner. Nobody cares about his passport or the fact he was there "legally" and he gets funneled into a huge prison facility called "Alberta Alcatraz".

    After several scary experiences he is in line for a phone call. When he gets to the front the guard pretends to not understand what he is asking for.

    • Guard: WELL, what do YOU WANT?
    • Butters: Uhh I want to make a phone call, please.
    • Guard: Puh-hone call? Puh-hone? What's that?
    • Butters: I don't understand mister. I'd like to call someone on that phone.
    • Guard: Oh THIS? DO YOU MEAN-

    The guard lets out a long, trumpet-like fart that sounds like, "fooooooooooone".

    • Butters: Wha--- what?
    • Guard 2: YEAH! YOU MEAN- (farting) foooooooooooone!

    Apparently this is how Canadians make the word, "phone".

    • Guard 2: HEY THIS LITTLE YANK CAN'T SAY- (farting) ffhhhooooooone!!
    • Guard: HAHA!!! (farting) fuuuooooooooooooooone!

    All guards start laughing at Butters and farting "fooooone". They can all apparently do this quite naturally.

    • Butters: B-but, I don't have to fart right now.
    • Guard: IF YOU WANT SOMETHING YOU NEED TO LEARN TO SPEAK CANADIAN!

    Butters resolves to save up his farts to get his phone call. Several days pass. Now trembling and sweating, a pale Butters can barely stand in line.

    • Butters: Oh man... I gotta make it...

    The inmate in front of him effortlessly farts "foooooooooone" and is let ahead. Butters is up.

    • Guard: YEAH? WHAT DO YOU WANT THIS TIME?
    • Butters: I want... I want... I... uh... UH.... ahhH!!

    Butters loses control of his bowels and sprays shit in all directions, then collapses. Everyone around yells in disbelief and disgust.

    A large inmate walks up and looks down.

    • It's OK little buddy, my cousin had that same speech impediment.

    Then I woke up.

    Prefacing by saying I'm a total noob to webdev.

    I'm trying to move my personal portfolio site off of Squarespace and onto some sort of static hosting. Since I know nothing, I'm cobbling together hugo templates and using LightBox2 to show image galleries. The blog I'm referencing includes LightBox2 using this:

    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.1/jquery.min.js" integrity="sha256-CSXorXvZcTkaix6Yvo6HppcZGetbYMGWSFlBw8HfCJo=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lightbox2/2.11.1/js/lightbox.min.js" integrity="sha256-CtKylYan+AJuoH8jrMht1+1PMhMqrKnB8K5g012WN5I=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
    

    I would prefer to not subject people viewing my page to any external tracking if I can avoid it. My page has zero tracking/analytics for this reason. I briefly tried downloading LightBox2 and directly including it instead, and was able to get it working mostly, but some things were broken that I would need to debug. Before I do that I was wondering, is this even a problem? Is including stuff from cloudflare cdn like this sketchy? It's possible I'm being overly paranoid but I have no idea.
