  • Can cats experience ennui?

    Jump

  • Older cats usually like to cuddle more to keep warm and/or feel safe and stable if they are having sensory issues (like going deaf or blind). I'm sure you don't mind the cuddling, but she will probably enjoy a heated pad at this age :)

  • What are some poor pieces of advice for life?

    Jump

  • Maybe not poor at its core, but poor phrasing nonetheless: "just be yourself!"

    What we should say is: stop trying to force yourself to fit in. You are enough as you are. Embrace your quirks, passions, and individuality without feeling the need to conform to what others expect. It's not about "just being yourself" in a vacuum; it's about freeing yourself from the pressure to mold into something you're not.

    The beauty of authenticity is in the courage to show up as you are, without apology.

  • Anyone have stats on how the recent "voidposting" frenzy on cat communities affected lemmy?

    Jump

  • I’ve never seen something “go viral” like this on lemmy before.

    I think they are just trends that start becoming popular because people are bored. At least, that's how it can start.

    I imagine for every user that's like "that's cool!", there's another user who's like "alright time to avoid Lemmy for a while", so perhaps there is not much to glean from the metrics.

    Am interested in any data too though, if it's there

  • Hey, it could have been worse. Much, much worse.

    What is the difference between lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works?

    Jump

  • Here's the description by both:

    sh.itjust.works:

    A bilingual (EN/FR) general-purpose instance located in eastern Canada! Powered by 99% renewable energy! Everyone is welcome eh.

    Lemmy.World:

    A generic Lemmy server for everyone to use. (...) Lemmy.World is a general-purpose Lemmy instance of various topics, for the entire world to use

    The comments about instances being "good" or "bad" is just plain ol' tribalism.

    Users get attacked for the instances they registered to, even if they were unaware of instance politics when they actually registered. That sucks!

  • Matt Gaetz Reportedly Used ‘Adopted’ Son’s PayPal to Pay for Sex

    Jump

  • As @HorseChandelier pointed out, it's not about misgendering, it's about what being a first Lady entails

    I think “first lady” is referring to the absence of Meliana and omnipresence of Musk at Trump’s side rather than saying Musk is/identifies as female

    How To Compress A Video Without Losing Quality

    Jump

  • Having fun responding to these advertorials:

    Title: "How To Compress A Video Without Losing Quality"

    1. Compress video using Zip

    Yeah, I always share my videos in a zip file, especially when I'm sharing it with strangers.

    1. Change the resolution

    I thought without losing quality was the goal here?

    Anyway, use HandBrake to compress videos. It's got a slider for quality so you can finetune the quality and file size to get as close to the file size you want to share it.

  • Our new Kittens

    Jump

  • It almost looks "3D" in the first pic instead of fur, if you catch my drift. Really odd, in the fun and unique kind of way.

  • Our new Kittens

    Jump

  • Do they have a permanent mustache, or what is that? So cute!

  • Trump said to lift all military restrictions on Israel on 1st day in office according to reports

    Jump

  • They are mentioned in the article, if we can call it that. But no specifics:

    Currently, U.S. restrictions include an embargo on a certain weapons shipment and limitations on various combat-related equipment, even if they do not involve explosive ordnance.

  • AI Slop

    Jump

  • Also unhelpful, since, if you look at my comment history, I was already aware of the Costco butter fiasco and had made a snarky comment about it.

    Are you insinuating Google is reading your Lemmy comments and pushing you news recommendations based on those?

  • "Daisy" is claimed to be indistinguishable from a real person, fooling scammers into thinking they've found perfect prey thanks to its ability to engage in "human-like" rambling chat, the biz claims.

    lmao okay. This will work for maybe a week, and then they will smarten up
