You might be surprised at how much corn, grains, and other non-meat stuff there is in cat food. Particularly in cheap dry kibble that nobody typically bats an eye at someone feeding to their cat.

This conversation just seems so weird to me. The number of people who feed their cats anything similar to what they’d be eating in the wild is minuscule.

Meat isn’t some magic substance, biological chemical reactions turns grass into cows. That you think you can’t take those nutrients and make them bioavailable to an obligate carnivore is absurd. Ever seen an impossible burger?

And if you think the cruelty stems from the idea that cats wouldn’t like it, I gotta say. I have my cat on an expensive grain free meat heavy diet. And I know for a fact that he goes crazy for the cheap shitty corn based purina kibble. He has busted into other people’s homes to steal kibble from their cats.

So is it cruel for me to feed him a more nature based diet when it’s clear he prefers corn based trash?

I don’t see any reason why a functional vegan cat food couldn’t exist.

I did read the article, and I fail to see how this is different than other implementations.

“In a call with Beeper’s Eric Migicovsky, that’s exactly what I wanted to find out, and it seems the answer comes down to trust. Beeper as it stands today, where everything is running on Mac Minis, is being done “in the open.” The backend is largely open-source, and the company has aimed to be straightforward and transparent with every update along the way. Migicovsky adds that, soon, Beeper will be doing a full in-public security review.”

So the difference is “you can trust us”. Sounds like BS to me, you’re still routing your messages through an endpoint that is someone else’s Mac mini.

Using something like this compromises e2e encryption for you and anyone that you talk to. It’s actively inviting a man-in-the-middle into all of your chats.

It’s a shitty thing to do to your friends.

Just use Signal if you care about the green bubble stuff.

Or just buy an iPhone if that kind of thing matters to you

Good

It was a pretty bad idea, not only a privacy risk for users but for anyone those users interact with. You no longer get the guarantee that your iMessages are end to end encrypted since anyone using the service puts a man in the middle for everyone they communicate with.

But why even bother? If you’re privacy conscious and still insist on a chromium based browser just use Brave.

Use things that respect your privacy by default. Otherwise you have to be in the habit of actively opting out whenever new updates or features are added and anybody who would be that diligent about it is probably already using Firefox or Brave anyway.

Edge is entirely as privacy violating as chrome

Consider Obsidian.md

It’s basically a lightweight system for organizing markdown files, lots of great organization and search features and lots of available extensions

The adaptation so bad the director refused to even put his name on it.

Do you drink coffee? Because caffeine helps a ton when you’re on a med break.

Taking a break from stimulants helps reset tolerance, means the meds will work better when you restart.

I take breaks every so often, but I majorly ramp up my caffeine and nicotine consumption when I do. It helps

Entirely misleading headline compared to what is reported.

What it seems to say is that in order for a trans woman to play in the women’s category they need some kind of documentation from their country acknowledging that they are living as their stated gender.

This seems to be more of an attempt to ban a man entering a women’s tournament by falsely claiming to be a trans woman.

On top of it, they say that if a former women’s champion transitions to being a man, then they have to vacate their women’s championship award. Which while harsh is in a way validating the reality of their trans identity.

This is a low quality post that will mislead people who read at a glance
