My younger cat needed a lot of convincing to use only the scratching post. Every time I saw her scratching the couch, I’d pick her up and put her in front of the scratching post. Took a few weeks, but we got there. She hasn’t scratched the couch in ~2 years now.
I see you have a scratching post. Excellent! Number one mistake new cat owners make is not having somewhere for the cat to scratch (it’s a physiological need for them), then they get annoyed when the cat scratches their furniture.
I’d say OS and driver programming is also in that category. It is the deep magic.
Living next to a park is great. I do the same, except I’ve got my phone with me connected to teams. I can get back home on my computer in under 2 minutes if I need to.
But seriously, are there really women who talk about men in those terms?
Yes. Personally, I see it as the mirror image of the “tradwife” thing where toxic men see their partner as a subservient maid. Seeing men as primarily an income source comes from a similar place imho.
I’d prefer local storage over cloud storage for quick silly things like that.
Absolutely. Fdroid is awesome.
I hate the fact that there’s no simple, free, ad-free note-taking app either inbuilt or on the app store. Just something simple and local to take a quick shopping list or a name or something like that. Fdroid has me covered for that.
LLM’s aren’t real AI
I think that’s mostly a semantics issue. When people talk about AI here on Lemmy, they generally mean AGI. LLMs are not AGI, as far as I understand it.
There are lots of people who will never update if asked to update at their leisure. I think it’s far better for user security to have updates be forced by default, with the option to schedule them yourself.
anti-anything google
I hear that. Went through the technical reasons for the manifest V2 deprecation (if this is only to target ublock origin, why did they implement filter lists into the browser? Why does ublock origin lite work just fine?) and it got more downvotes than upvotes. Haters gonna hate I guess :))
This video does an ok job of it.
While we’re on the topic of EU initiatives, the tax the rich initiative still needs signatures. It aims to set a floor on tax rates for the very wealthy, and have member states use that new money for environment, employment and social policies.
They’ve hit the threshold for France and Germany, but still need more signatures everywhere else.
Thanks, I’ll add that link to my comment too. I think it’s important for people considering signing this to have all available information. Those arguments did not convince me, but I think it’s only fair to make it clear there are counterarguments.
Are we sure we want this? Here is an indie game dev I trust going through why this petition is a bad idea.
Abandon consoles. Embrace the inevitability of the PC master race.
Modern Romania isn’t totalitarian. Thankfully, these days the old ladies just snoop on everyone to gossip and complain passively aggressively, not to report to the state. I’d argue that’s an improvement.
Deadly serious. By the end of communism, they had over a million informants. You had to make the assumption that everyone you talked to and every old lady on a park bench was an informant.
Funny story, I know someone who was recruited to inform on her colleagues at work, but after the third time in a row she told them everything is wonderful, everyone is happy and productive, she was promptly fired (as an informant, not from the factory).
So, I watched that third link in its entirety. It was pretty interesting. I think the core idea is that NK isn’t some absolutely insane bizarro land, which I actually agreed with beforehand. It did not disprove the fact that NK is an authoritarian dictatorship. The only thing it did prove (which again, I knew about beforehand) is that western media likes to exaggerate the faults to hyperbolic levels. I honestly think that the average north korean would live a better life without the Kim family (or any other family regime) ruling over them. This doesn’t mean that they force people to have specific hairstyles at gunpoint or execute politicians for slouching during speeches (as the video joked about), but they still direct a large portion of the states wealth towards friends and family.
I think you should really honestly consider the fact that two wrongs don’t make a right. NK and the USA do terrible things. Instead of litigating which one is worse, maybe we should focus on how to make better alternatives, like you’ve done with this alternative to Reddit.
Best typo ever.
