I’m young enough that the first “computer” I ever owned in my childhood was the first generation iPad. 64 GB felt huge back then and was a pretty big deal for solid state storage for the time.

I then got a junker Windows XP computer mainly because the iPad didn’t let me mess around with the OS nearly as much as I wanted. Learned to program on that old computer using the iPad for online tutorials. But the hard drive was only 40 GB and it blew kid me’s mind the difference in size between the single chip of the iPad and the metal brick of the hard drive, yet the hard drive has less storage.

I wish my dog spoke in bible style. She only communicates in memes.

Some sites still don’t support PNG lol. Usually it’s places where they specifically expect a photo, where they’ll hard code the validation to only check if it’s a JPEG. I once had to upload a picture of my face for something and the original JPEG was too large, so I took a screenshot and tried uploading that but it wouldn’t work because it only accepted JPEGs. So I had to figure out how to compress the image locally on my phone because I didn’t want to upload a picture of me to one of those online converters.

I would strongly recommend using a Lemmy/fediverse instance that is not hosted in the US.

For tons of reasons, the fact that it might get shut down by Trump isn’t even in the top five.

Hey remember when .world was getting all high and mighty about defederating from Hexbear and Lemmygrad because they might incite violence?

I never understood Hollywood’s love for taking classical mythologies of humanity and spinning it into the most absurd movies that have literally nothing to do with the original mythology. Thor as a superhero is just one example. It really seems like what should have been just an original character that they slapped the Nordic mythology around for no good reason. Meanwhile now whenever I try to search up Thor, the top results get clogged with Marvel’s bullshit instead of his actual millennia old mythology.

Also, I guess it doesn’t matter with Thor since no one in modern times actually believe in Norse mythology, but Hollywood is not that picky and have bastardized real religions that people still believe in, namely Indigenous mythology in the Americas and lesser known folk religions in Asia and Africa.

If you can’t provide sufficient enrichment to a pet that you own and made a personal commitment to care for, rethink your decision to have a pet. My dog would go crazy in the house too if I spent as little time interacting with her as most outdoor cat owners seem to spend from comments like yours. You can also take your cat out on supervised outings like people do with dogs.

Studies show that indoor cats not only live longer, they have lower amounts of stress related hormones in their blood, suggesting that they are less stressed/scared or don’t get stressed/scared as often. You can subjectively claim that your cat is miserable when inside and you’re probably right about your cat and its specific personality, but the data shows that the majority of indoor cats are doing fine provided they have an owner that doesn’t ignore them.

Also, you know where outdoor cats take their shits so your house doesn’t smell like cat turds? Other people’s yards and gardens. I pick up my dog’s shit like a pet owner should and you’re proud of the fact that you just let your cat shit wherever it wants?

Reminder if you have an outdoor cat that you feed in your house, you are subsidizing it killing birds. Outdoor cats who are fed at home don’t usually eat the birds they catch since they have a more reliable source of food at home, so they kill almost as many birds as a feral cat with no other food source but don’t eat any of them and just leave them to die once they they’re not fun to chase anymore. So outdoor cats killing birds is not “nature,” they’re an invasive species being fed farm-raised invasive species by the most widespread invasive species of all so they can go out and kill native birds that they won’t eat.

Apple just loves having their own media formats

Got a source for that?

As a Canadian, Canada has way more Nazis than people realize and the broader government tends pretend we don’t have a Nazi problem while certain politicians are full on embracing them (just look at Danielle Smith). It’s not as bad as in the US, but that’s a really low bar and isn’t exactly praiseworthy.

UN Convention on the Rights of the Child

Fun fact: The US votes against that one because it prohibits giving the death penalty to minors.

Yeah.

What was China before communism like?

The Falun Gong cult was founded in the 90s so it’s not like they knew that to begin with.

Equal shame for all the countries that abstained. There is not a damn chance any country is genuinely unsure how they want to vote so an abstain vote in this case is just “I want to vote against but am too embarrassed to.”

Which happens to be the entire West, not a single country commonly considered “Western” voted in favour. Surprise surprise

It’s better to get it fron F-Droid because you never know what kind of spyware “analytics” or “error reporting” Google Play injects. Repacking an APK is not that hard, especially if you control the cryptographic keys for signing them.

Any ideas on alternatives?

And then they’re the aggressors for not immediately begging for mercy.
