You just clinched your interview for Uber upper management

Uuhhh... help with new cat meeting old cat, or soothe me please

Day 1, panicked cry for helpHello, I hope it’s ok to not post a picture, I’m quite a mess right now. I lack sleep, and I’m stressed, and just stopping panicking, lying down to write this and sleep. I just brought home, on somewhat of a whim, the goodest and most communicative little boy cat from the street (he looks around...

You did it wrong. Anya’s world is upside down with this intruder. “Just see what happens” is not healthy or safe. Accept that and move past it.

As another comment mentions, Jackson Galaxy has a good many videos on this topic, but the first priority should be the vet to check them out for a chip and health. Then watch the JG vids.

Remember: cat’s most important security is derived from familiar territory. Move even one piece of furniture and they need to reassess. A new un-neutered male is a direct threat to the territory and can cause many unwanted behaviors and stress on both cats.

Quite true. As a Google Fi subscriber since 2015, I still rely on them for that service, but I’ve weaned off everything else to the extent that I can. There was a time that I thought the value outweighed the spying, but its impossible for me to maintain that delusion now.

We can already tell you the age, gender, hobbies, kinks, frequently visited spots and how long they stay there, who goes with them and who they meet, what they think about, when they go to sleep, but wouldn’t you also like to know where they are and who they’re near when their devices are offline with Bluetooth on? We can do that now too! Creepy? No! They think it’s so they can [checks notes] find their device even if its offline.

I’ve been out of the US since late '22 and they still haven’t cut my data or sent one email about it. I expected to lose it after 90 days. I get a google play services error once in a while about Fi needing it to have all permissions, but I don’t have any problems leaving them off. My next install of lineage I’m going to try no GApps and see if it still works. I know the LOS team say you need it for Fi.

I’ve been expecting Google to kill it like they tend to do with everything people start to like, but it’s been over 7 years already, and still going.

Don’t jinx it!!! 😉

The email has a link to opt out too.

Here it is for anyone else interested: opt out of the network

After Raids, NYPD Denied Student Protesters Water and Food in Jail (theintercept.com)

Students arrested during the police crackdown on protests at universities in New York City last week were denied water and food for 16 hours, according to two faculty members at Columbia University’s Barnard College who collected reports from students who were inside....

[Resolved] After updating through both APT and the Software Store, I can't play mp4 videos with VLC anymore. The screen goes blank for a second or two then the audio starts playing without the video..

I’m using Debian 12, Ryzen 7 5700X processor, and Radeon HD 5450 graphics card. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling VLC but it didn’t resolve the issue. Here’s an excerpt from the VLC’s log file:...

The pedant in me has to point our that if it’s the “best song we’ve ever heard…” then we already heard it, and it isn’t still “out there” as in unheard and waiting to be listened to.

suddenly I cannot fully access The Economist behind tor without a subscription anymore

I used to read The Economist without a subscription behind tor to avoid captchas, ads and also to avoid their IP profiling (they limit the free articles a non subscription IP can read) but 2 days ago articles stopped showing also behind tor and the TBB....

Can confirm. Seems the common paywall tricks (12ft.io, etc) seem to have only mixed success

Uninformed myself, but if a supervisor was present with the mother and they were driving hours to pick the kids up for a party, my guess is the kids were somehow in the custody of the grandparents at the time.

ETA: edition.cnn.com/2024/04/21/us/…/index.html

The children’s mother, Veronica Butler, however, wanted more access to her kids than the court-ordered supervised Saturday visits she was allowed.

HDMI stream live processing?

I’m getting tired of the extremely loud ads on that don’t seem to be subject to the old TV broadcasting laws that prevent them from being blasted 10db louder than the actual content. Wondering if there’s stuff out there that would let me take the hdmi stream from my Apple TV or other streaming source, and do ad detection...

Some AV Processors include a night mode or loudness processing that attempts to normalize the levels. In practice, the levels will lower some, but perhaps not enough to alleviate the problem.

You could try reporting the provider, but it’s likely their legal team would argue the CALM act doesn’t apply to them. Come to think of it, the FCC may not have ever formalized the rules still…

Google Allows Creditors to Brick Your Phone (lemmy.world)

I installed NetGuard about a month ago and blocked all internet to apps, unless they’re on a whitelist. No notifications from this particular system app (that can’t be disabled) until recently when it started making internet connection requests to google servers. Does anyone know when this became a thing?...

This is classic efficient market hypothesis brain worms, the kind of cognitive dead-end that you arrive at when you conceive of people in purely economic terms, without considering the power relationships between them. It’s a dead end you navigate to if you only think about things as they are today – vast numbers of indebted people who command fewer assets and lower wages than at any time since WWII – and treat this as a “natural” state: “how can these poors expect to be offered more debt unless they agree to have their all-important pocket computers booby-trapped?”
