So you didn’t even look at the picture you posted. Thanks for confirming that you aren’t engaging in good faith. Easy block.

First off, the infographic you posted doesn’t even spell the name of the propaganda site it cites properly (dogsbite[dot]org). Just because it’s a .org doesn’t grant it instant legitimacy. It’s one woman (Colleen Lynn) with a vendetta. (You don’t still believe the disproven and later retracted “study” about vaccines causing autism now, do you?)

Second, engage in some critical thinking. (I know, you weren’t bred to do so - but it isn’t your fault!). Do many people keep these several dog breeds for home and family protection, and do they similarly neglect and fail to train their dogs? To use your own irresponsible analogy where several breeds of dogs = guns, yes, many people own guns and don’t follow proper safety practices with them. And we’ve also decided as a society that even with many undereducated people doing stupid things with guns that education is part of a larger solution. Please educate yourself further, unless you’re just here to stir up trouble.

It’s for environmental protections and mitigations from their datacenters, right?

“You can’t catch us all!”

I have to say, I don’t agree with some of your other points elsewhere here, but this makes a lot of sense.

It’s our own version of The Matrix

…oh?

Woe upon us all if you’re wrong

Would its legs not also multiply?

Just 20? Come on now.

That’s the authentic experience

If only these two realities could be somehow… I dunno, severed from each other. Wouldn’t that be nice, with no foreseeable consequences?

Consensually, or…? 😏

This is really cool, though. Interesting that they don’t address residual toxic materials in your body, but something to look into.

Well, sure, but SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) and ActivityPub are different protocols. It’s similar to speaking different languages. It’s an imperfect analogy, but if you speak only English and someone came through your door and just started speaking Spanish, you wouldn’t know what to do with it and just disregard it (social and personal space issues aside). If you then created a new door for Spanish and staffed it with a Spanish speaker and appropriate signage, the English speakers would come in the English door and the Spanish speakers would go to the Spanish door and each of you would know what to do.

It bears repeating that administering an email service is a pain in the ass.

“No” is the correct answer, but to understand why, you need to learn a bit about how mail and other services work. For email specifically, when you send email to an address (in this case, Maria2007@sh.itjust.works), the sender’s mail server does a DNS lookup for the recipient domain (in this case, sh.itjust.works). The MX record indicates the next hop for where to send that email to. The recipient’s side needs to have a server configured that knows what to do with that email. So there’s no reason that the operator of the domain couldn’t also allow email that corresponds with your Fediverse user ID, but at significant expense and effort and no benefit to them. Mail hosting is a big undertaking and is a pain in the ass for a small provider.

You can look up DNS records, including MX records, using a tool such as MX Toolbox.

“They lived as they died…”

Life Death goals

But in all seriousness, I think it would be great if we could shift our views of what an appropriate burial looks like. The Infinity Mushroom Burial Suit captured a lot of attention since Jae Rhim Lee’s TED Talk, although from what I can tell the underlying company has gone defunct in the past several years. How cool would it be to feed a tree and become part of the ecosystem? That’s a real legacy.

That seems like a more pragmatic way to hoard wealth than NFTs or stock options or whatever.

Eat an invisible antelope

For real, the fact that the former is how people have started using the five start system is crazy. Uber driver has less than a 4.8 rating? Cancel that ride, he must be a monster.
