Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.
Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.
Listing five preventably dead cats I personally knew is over the top?
Why is taking the risk important?
You are not re-wilding an animal that’s gotten used to being in a zoo, in order to restore an endangered species.
You are releasing a domestic pet into an uncontrolled environment.
Why is it important to do that? And why does this importance only apply to cats?
Worth it to gain what?
You are not re-wilding an animal that’s gotten used to being in a zoo.
Your logic is like overfeeding a pet because it likes the food enough to keep eating it.
Your cat is not a toddler that will one day need to be a functioning member of society. You can and should make decisions that ensure its safety in exchange for its freedoms.
It’s the same reasoning behind why you don’t let a child hit the town until they’re old enough. The difference, is that a cat is never “old enough”. It’s a pet.
Parasites. Disease. Pest traps. Poisons. Traffic. Dangerous climbs. Other cats. People.
I know someone who had three cats get run over before they learned to keep them inside. They live on an island in the finnish archipelago that barely even has roads let alone traffic.
Another friend lost two cats to a neighbour who fed them poisoned chicken.
Go on. Tell me there’s zero risk, and I’ll show you a delusional idiot.
Like the other guy said.
How can your conscience be clear, if the one in danger is Miez?
You can ignore this comment, OP. I’m sure you’ve heard all this before and already have practice.
This is for everyone else.
A cat can live a perfectly happy life without danger. Do not let them outside without a leash.
“Outdoor” cats die earlier and are at greater risk of parasites and disease. That is a fact. Most animal shelters include a contractual obligation not to do what OP does in their adoption agreements. Violating this requirement would be considered animal abuse, and grounds for them to take the animal back for re-adoption.
Transitioning an outdoor cat to indoor life can be difficult, but what OP does is not normal and should not be. No-one should let a pet outside unattended. And most people wouldn’t. But for some reson some people make an exception for cats. And only cats. This is a logical error.
Animals are either wild or domestic. Not both.
I’m pretty sure OP wouldn’t let a dog roam free, yet all the same logic for why that is so, applies to cats.
The needs of a cat that are fulfilled by the outdoors, can be fulfilled indoors. Places to hide, surfaces to scratch, toys to play with, etc. If your cat is miserable indoors, that’s on you, not the nature of the animal.
In that case, something is invalidating the login. Are you sure that it is happening due to leaving your LAN, and not just coinciding with that?
Does restarting the laptop log you out, or temporarily disconnecting from the internet? Could you test by switching to a wifi hotspot on your phone, and switching back, for example?
The client stores your session token in the OS credentials manager (kwallet for linux kde, for example) and the issue can lie there, as well.
That’s definitely not how it should work. Leaving your LAN should not invalidate a session.
Is this in your browser, or are you talking about the desktop client?
“Is… Is it food-a-clock?”
“Very goood! Only you’re three hours late. Now get to it.”
It’s not federated tho?
What do they mean when they call it that?
Why tf would I want capcut?
AFAIK, yes, plus one more.
It can use FEX to run x86 binaries, or use ARM binaries directly in steam for games that have them (games that support apple silicon macs, for example) and it can sideload apks meant for android, if the apk is actually standalone, and doesn’t have system dependencies that only exist on meta devices.
The game Valve used to demo the standalone capability, was Hades. The x86 version running on a virtual display, after just installing it via steam.
Oh good. Mobile github just not showing everthing again.
It doesn’t have a license yet.
So very much WIP on the way to becoming FOSS.
except a million more Ukrainians and Russians would still be alive.
Maybe. I don’t think you can say that for sure. Maybe in that timeline, that peace would have come and gone by now.
Well yeah, did you expect Russia to disarm?
No. I expect both sides to remain armed to the teeth, perhaps even growing their capabilities for years after a peace-deal.
My country neighbours Russia, and unlike some neughbours, we never disarmed. That doesn’t mean we’re out to expand our territories. It is just the reality of being neighbours with Russia, even then for a while there our military expenditure felt like a waste even to me.
Not anymore.
The only security you can have with men like Putin, is to make taking something from you as expensive as possible.
America’s puppets.
That’s a bit of a oversimplification. The only puppet the US could accurately control right now, is a sock pulled onto one of Trumps hands.
Any apprently positive outcome is accidental, and even then half of it is fixing problems they’re themselves causing.
Trump himself is so empty, that anything he has to say that isn’t coming from his ego, is just him parroting the latest person to gift him an airplane.
The 28-point plan was a thinly veiled temporary ceasefire that would have left Ukraine de-armed and Russia free to re-arm and try again in a couple years.
I think agreeing to it would have been like giving the bully your lunch money, then bringing twice the amount the next day thinking you’d then get to keep half.
Reality is more complex than that, of course. Maybe that peace-deal would have been the timeline with less overrall misery. But that is unknowable, and won’t become clear even in hindsight.
You are saying, given the chance, Ukraine would start a war?
That after this one ends, they’d want to continue so badly they’d become the invading side?
I mean… It’s happened before. But my country participating in operation Barbarossa alongside actual fucking nazis probably ranks among the stupidest decisions in all of recorded history.
But hey, if that’s your prediction, maybe take it to polymarket.
“Send them in” where?
Spell it out. Maybe say it out loud. See if it feels like a sane take.
What do you mean?
Any post, on any service, is technically accessible on any other instance, running any service. Actual implementation, varies.
Unless you run into it in the feed, the way to find a given post is to enter the original instance url for it into search on the instance from which you want to interact with it.
To upvote this post, for example, even from an instance that it hasn’t federated to, I can enter the url to this post on its host instance into search, and the other instance will fetch the post, allowing me to vote and/or comment.
Same goes for mastodon toots. Get the url, put into search, upvote, comment, whatever.
Then you are guilty of the same thing. The above is a retort to the idea that my side has any relation to authoritarian thinking. It’s not based on my assumptions around your reasoning, but literally a point you just tried to make.
There are legitimate reasons to give a creature the opportunity to learn to fend for itself and as such expose it to the risks of doing so. Children who must one day become independent adults. Animals to be re-wilded and released back into nature.
Neither, nor any other that I’m aware of, apply to domestic pets.
I am perfectly willing to consider your mindset. My very first sentence is a question requesting you elaborate on what exactly it is you gain by trading in the safety of your cat. Because you don’t actually mention what that is.
