trying to teach a cat to drink more water
broke: give them tuna water
woke: start lapping from their water bowl and let the desire for mimcry do the rest
#*fax machine noises*#we're gonna get a little fountain tomorrow#but for tonight i am hunched over on the floor mimicking a cat drinking water#it's already encouraged one of them to drink more. the other one got a fluid IV at the vet so he's fine but i'll keep trying with him#hhhh worst way to find out their foster home wasn't giving them wet food and they were drinking water from a fucking bucket

“They’re trying to convince people they can’t do the things they’ve been doing easily for years – to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies – to write that for you.” We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, “that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won’t know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can’t do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat. People are already doing this. You won’t have to process grief, because you’ll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it’s going to destroy humans, long before there’s a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people.”
Justine Bateman on AI in this article from The Guardian

We from KDE are happy to announce our biggest and best projekt so far:
Kopilot
Your AI-powered companion for the Plasma desktop!
It can do many things such as:
- taking up valuable computing power and space on your screen
- search for files, folders and personal data
- ugh.... It is there now I guess
It comes by default with the next Plasma 6 update and will soon be included in all prior and future Plasma versions.
An KDE.org account for log in will be mandatory starting with Plasma 7.
(image is ripped from here, I asked about permission but sadly the user wasn't online in >1 year on both accounts. @easrng maybe you can give a def yes or no?)

All these big companies changing their logos a dozen of times for something that looks worse every time, while the real all-time GOAT found the winning formula on the first try and then even did a victory lap with it:

the best way I can describe this recent move is that I feel like a fish that has been moved into a bigger tank. i have so much more enrichment (TM) i do not care that this new place doesn't have AC
#*fax machine noises*#all of the issues we have with this place feel like they could be DIY fixes#reattach the baseboards... bleach the tub with peroxide and baking soda... get a good cooling fan...

it's crazy that you used to be able to look up specific clips from a tv show on youtube. now regardless of your search terms you get 6 unrelated promo reels from the show's official account, 6 unrelated clips of literally anything else youtube thinks you might click on, 6 unrelated promo reels from the network's official account, 6 more completely arbitrary recommendations, 6 show trailers and publicity videos of the actors by content mills called 'pop glutton' and 'comedy chunk' and finally raw gameplay footage of a mobile freemium slots game and a video essay called Liberals Can't Belive It: 10 Times Hitler Was Shockingly Woke

every software is like. your mission-critical app requires you to use the scrimble protocol to squeeb some snorble files for sprongle expressions. do you use:
libsnorble-2-dev, a C library that the author only distributes as source code and therefore must be compiled from source using CMake
Squeeb.js, which sort of has most of the features you want, but requires about a gigabyte of Node dependencies and has only been in development for eight months and has 4.7k open issues on Github
Squeeh.js, a typosquatting trojan that uses your GPU to mine crypto if you install it by mistake
Sprongloxide, a Rust crate beloved by its fanatical userbase, which has been in version 0.9.* for about four years, and is actually just a thin wrapper for libsnorble-2-dev
GNU Scrimble, a GPLv3-licensed command-line tool maintained by the Free Software Foundation, which has over a hundred different flags, and also comes with an integrated Lisp interpreter for scripting, and also a TUI-based Pong implementation as an "easter egg", and also supports CSV, XML, JSON, PDF, XLSX, and even HTML files, but does not actually come with support for squeebing snorble files for ideological reasons. it does have a boomeresque drawing of a grinning meerkat as its logo, though
Microsoft Scrimble Framework Core, a .NET library that has all the features you need and more, but costs $399 anually and comes with a proprietary licensing agreement that grants Microsoft the right to tattoo advertisements on the inside of your eyelids
snorblite, a full-featured Perl module which is entirely developed and maintained by a single guy who is completely insane and constantly makes blog posts about how much he hates the ATF and the "woke mind-virus", but everyone uses it because it has all the features you need and is distributed under the MIT license
Google Squeebular (deprecated since 2017)

sorry for the random question but what's your opinion on transmasc people?
They should install Firefox with UBlock Origin and start using a password manager (I recommend bitwarden)
