Point 1 has to be chosen when the cat is young. Forcing an outside cat to suddenly only be inside often doesn’t work.

I adopted a 7-year-old cat from the shelter, and after a week of having to be inside all the time, he got more and more frustrated. After a week and a half, he escaped during the night. In the morning, while I was panicking, he came strolling in as if nothing was wrong.

Since he apparently comes back, I allowed him outside from then on. Since that moment, his behaviour inside has improved a lot. No more random play attacks on my ankles and hands, and generally much calmer.

He has also come back home with mice several times. He always eats them. So I think he is very used to living outside. Maybe been a stray, or a farm cat.

Forcing him to be inside would feel cruel.

The worst thing is: you can’t even put an int in a json file. Only doubles. For most people that is fine, since a double can function as a 32 bit int. But not when you are using 64 bit identifiers or timestamps.

The link you posted is a website link. Hence the app I use for lemmy (Connect) opens it in an external browser. From there, I can’t subscribe, since I’m only logged in, in the app.

The link format that andrew posted is a lemmy link. It is instance independant, meaning that you can view it through any lemmy server, or even via other federated platforms. Connect opens this link within the app.

I don’t understand why someone would want to rent their car. Maintenance is not that hard, and companies always make you pay way more for their subscription models. By owning the car, you can pick who does maintenance. Meaning there can be competition, so prices/quality remains good.

For some, this subscription model is great. But do you agree, that is it a bad thing if they force it on us?

You are asking them for their fish. This request seems to be an attempt to teach your politicians how to fish.

I’d much rather see them use it to lobby in favour of taxes on the wealthy, than seeing a handful of them give part of their money away.

Https is explicitly designed against man-in-the-middle attacks. Modern browsers make a bigggg fuss if a man-in-the-middle is attempting some shit. Those attacks do not work.

And if you do manage to make it work, it sure wouldn’t be easier than pointing a gun at someone and telling them to pay up for their internet connection.

That does not work without forcing the users to also use the proxy. Any website that uses https instead of http does not leak passwords, unless the device/browser of the user is compromised.

It sounds like a mechanism to make the town dependend on the cartel for internet, and then demand extortion prices for the internet.

The Patriot system uses radar guidance. Radars can easily spots individual birds. A sixpack of reindeer, a sled, and one fat ass riding it should lit up like a chrismas tree for the radar.

However, according to the picture, OP only has the missiles, but no radar to guide them. In other words: he has dead weight that can’t hit shit.

Should a dedicated search not use/index ActivityPub instead of the html interface?

If so, instances can simply defederate from search engine instances. So the point you are trying to make still holds.

1. Threads federates
2. Threads hosts 99% of all content and all users.
3. Threads releases and update that allows a new feature. Example: they add buyable threads gold, that you can reward to a post or comment.
4. The rest of the fediverse can’t implement this feature, and is inherently left behind in terms of features.
5. Threads releases an update that breaks federation. 99% of the users do not notice.
6. It takes Threads 3 months to fix the issue.
7. Go back to step 5.

Every non-Threads participant will have less features, and is constantly struggling to keep up with the changes and bugs of Threads. Result: the fediverse cannot grow. Only the most stubborn anti-Meta users will accept the objectively worse experience, just to avoid using Threads. But the average user will just use Threads, instead of joining Mastodon, Kbin, Lemmy, or any of the many other fediverse instances that Threads can federate with.

I have a ton of legs. Waayyy more than 2.

What can I say? They were cheap, and I love chicken.

New users will look at lemmy.world before they create an account. They will choose to join after seeing threads posts and comments on the front page. The default settings will keep them looking at threads untill they figure out they can block it. But when they do, they realise that 90% of all posts and comments came from threads, and they just disabled most of the content.

I would be ok with an opt-in mechanism, where the default settings and the anonymous settings disable threads content, but you can unblock them.

I don’t believe that is true. It might surprise you how often testicles are eaten.

If you have a handful of tanks, your enemy has to spend a lot of effort on getting rocket launchers. Not just buying them, but also the logistics strain to get them to the frontline.

And if you notice the enemy forgot to bring their launchers, you can deploy your tanks, and exploit their mistake.

Mass tank assaults are over. But using them as an integrated part of a force still makes sense to me.

I already saw this happening on Reddit. The largest subreddit were filled with generic posts. They got a lot of content, not necessarily good content. But there were plenty of small or medium sized subreddits that had much better content. The Fediverse feels like it is missing the big subreddits. It also feels too small to have the small niche subreddits. What is here in terms of content feels more like a few medium sized subreddits.

Interesting. I did not know that!

Correct. But integrating over multiple pulses, and using the latest Tx and Rx modules, sensitivity is not the problem anymore. Radars can easily see every damn bumblebee in a 100km radius. The problem is filtering data, so that processing and/or the user is not overloaded. For example, if you track every single bird with a radar that has a 100km radius, you will not be able to see anything on the operator screen other than birds.

Doppler is easy to filter on early in the processing stage. Meaning that if you can detect the aircraft, you can still separate it from all other bumblee like objects. Clutter tends not to move that fast.

That is called passive sonar. I suspect that it is kinda hard to hear from the missile. Anything behind you is certainly not hearable, since the missile goes faster than sound. I have no idea if you could measure the sound coming from the front. You also have to take into account that you are chasing an after image, since the plane is also faster than sound. But torpedoes use this, so the idea is valid.

Radar is echolocation with EM waves (low frequency light) instead of sound waves. And there are already plenty of radar guided missiles.
