My dog’s vet told me straight up, if you don’t mind the labor avoid kibble. The recipe is simple. Zucchini, carrots, pumpkin and some protein in equal parts. cut into tiny squares. Poultry mostly, is preferable, chicken liver once a week for extra vitamins and fat. All boiled until soft, without salt or any other seasoning. Once a month a raw large bone is good for chewing, but under supervision and don’t let it break the bone.

It’s work to cook every other day for the dog. But this diet literally saved her from a platelets deficiency once. She’s super healthy in her yearly check ups despite a chronic infection.

Because consumers prioritize camera quality over everything else. It sounds stupid, because it is, but it is the number one quoted purchase factor in surveys, right above weight and screen size. Social media clout and influencer culture have made people care excessively. But the prime limitation to phone camera qualities is sensor size. They are tiny, they have to be. The larger the sensor, the larger the optics required for them to catch light properly. These are physical limitations that will never go away. If anyone wants better quality cameras, it means either bigger bumps on phones or switching to large sensor dedicated professional cameras. Any foldable phone is forever cursed to have a bump as long as people care about those big three.

Yeah, I would say that magic spells, in English and other languages, are more traditionally associated with rhymes than specific words. Latin associated to magic is through catholic ritualist use of Latin. Even then, it was more about repeating prayer phrases, like in stereotypical exorcism or funeral rites. Gothic novels, for example, straight up used catholic prayer in Latin to convey magical intent. But it was not vaudeville magic or modern day superpower magic like in pop culture.

It is a Vice article. It has the journalistic credibility of a dirty wet wipe.

Edit: Lol, the source is an off the cuff remark of Mike Straw on a podcast. The same Dude has been teasing this news of an alleged leak since November and produced not a single shred of evidence while being an asshat on xitter about it at the same time. This is not the first time this guy speculates over future games and is taken out of context by fans.

If we were talking about the ethnic music of an extinct tribe that uses a language on risk of disappearing, sure, you would be right.

But think about it for a bit longer. They are just a commercial production that had no cultural impact in a population. They are still getting preserved in a format with a quality degradation that is imperceptible to the human ear. That’s usually enough. Audiophiles are usually overzealous about fidelity preservation. But the efforts are often misguided and discussions abound on technical topics that ultimately don’t matter.

Gay communities are not all the same around the world. It kind of is part of the problem, grindr applies an insensitive one size fits all model. US gay culture prevalent in grindr pushes promiscuity, distorted body images and sex centered stereotypes. It used to be that the app was simply a proximity chat with basic profiles. This was a safe haven for gay men in homophobic cultures that needed a way to identify, contact and interact with other gay men without fear of violence or discrimination. Yes, it was about sex, but it was about sex as a reactionary channel for frustrated desires for human contact and emotional connection.

Today it is so enshittified and has added so many anti features that it has shifted to be the opposite. It has turned into a harassment machine, that frustrates and enrages users in an attempt to make them pay money for premium features, that used to be free, or get rid of the new ones that nobody uses. Which signals users to be and act even worse to each other in order to circumvent the exploiting anti features.

Then it also pushes things like penis size obsession, high risk multipartner encounters and unprotected sex, with a high dose of body shaming on the side. All that while showing an ad every 3 seconds (I’m not exaggerating). Without mentioning that it has always been a privacy nightmare, a vector for minor’s abuse, sex work and drug trafficking. With the app owners never doing anything of value to actually protect the users. Grindr has gotten kids and adults raped and murdered before. But it promotes PRep (in countries where the drug is banned because homophobia), so, yay!

It’s not sex in return for data, more like “you get sex, you lose confidence and any sense of self-worth, we will also show you ads every 3 seconds.”

So is grindr. Most dehumanizing app ever, so manipulative and full of ads.

Synology offers cloud services and business level support for their enterprise products. They do support different authentication workflows, they are just not all included with the consumer products.

Never conflate loneliness with not getting laid. Thereby lies the first in a long streak of mistakes.

extreme disconnect between researchers/academic writing and how the general populace interprets the word

This is the bane of sciences communication. No, the way I’m using the word is not the same you use and therefore your interpretation of my research is wrong. Prescriptive arguments about semantics are irrelevant and don’t fix the situation in the slightest, if anything they muddy the waters and worsen the quality of the discussion.

The whole point of signals is because you don’t know when you haven’t noticed that someone is around. People who only use signals when someone can see them are doing it wrong as much as those who never use it. Cars have blind angles and you can’t be aware of everything going on around you all the time. That’s why you signal, so everyone has clear indication of your intents. You also reminded me of an uncle who used who always forgot to signal before a maneuver and when he realized mid-turn he would then use the signal. Like, it is of no use anymore.

I told you, I’m not arguing. I actually agree on that point.

They are not opt-in, they are on by default and opt-out AI features. They said so themselves in their public communications. Also, they aren’t future possible considerations, they are concrete plans that are underway and have funds allocated and feature goals set.

Not arguing here. But just want to point out that disability subculture usually arises as a survival response in the face of discrimination and segregation. Everyone has a need for community and a sense of belonging. When broad hegemonic culture rejects you and your presence, belonging is found in the one distinctive feature that is the cause for the rejection and the source of cohesion with your peers. See also gay subculture as a response to homophobia, US black culture as a response to racism, feminist sorority subculture in response to misogyny, etc. So it is not rare to see disability subculture as a response to ableism. These communities are very important for security and preservation of individuals. Just as everywhere else, security is always a trade-off with something else.

Probably not, it will be another “special operation”.

She probably did. But the reviewer won’t know that as the paper (should) get anonymized before review. The author’s own name will be censored all the way throughout the paper with certain publishers.

It’s a catch-22 situation. You are supposed to disclose if you wrote the thing you’re citing, but also cite in third person, and also it should be obfuscated for the peer review. So, what happens is that you write something like “in the author’s previous work (yourownname, 2017)…” then that gets censored by yourself or whoever is in charge of the peer review, “in (blank) previous work (blank)…”. Now, if you’re experienced in reviews you can probably guess it is the author of the paper you’re reviewing quoting themselves. But you still don’t know who it is, and you could never guess right whether it is Ruth Gotian or not. So you’re back to the tweet’s situation.

Well, first: this is not just one color. There are 4 or 5 different color blocks mixed in the picture. Which makes it hard to pinpoint a name for a single shade. Second: if you know anything about color theory, it is quite obvious that it’s any combination of red and green (or yellow and magenta). In color theory this combinations both can make anything from bright orange to yellow to grapefruit red. Or, if you greatly desaturate it or charge it towards black in hue, to brown. Everyone here is calling it some form of brown as well. And it might actually be browny (the color) by the overall range of values in the picture.

As we all know, brown is just orange with context. Thus, the only technically accurate name it could be given is orange.

Orange, fite me…
