But did they name their cat that because it eats them or because it wears them? 😭

Kinda curious if the cat liked the sprinkles now…

Well if she fits…

I’m also considering alternatives to Proton myself. I’ve seen the privacy-oriented communities give a bunch of options. Search “Privacy” and you’ll see them listed. Tuta probably isn’t bad as a paid account but the free app left a lot to be desired the last time I checked (no message search or sorting like Proton).

There’s been controversy over a founder’s public backing of the US Republican party.

Congrats! I hope the two kitties will get along well. :)

I’m so sorry. Rest in Peace, little snuggler. 🕊

Not that different. They’ve got the same kind of face. 🙂

Aw, like Dexter the orange cat / cardboard hole puncher)

Per hour? It’s all a blur to me at this point.

Thanks for the link. Not a bad distraction! I hope there’s a large catalog in case I want to treat it like the random Stumble button of yore (which I must have hit hundreds of times at least).

StumbleUpon was the best. I do miss it.

We all like to joke about cats leeching but they’re definitely not Capitalist. They’re hunter gatherers for whom the concept of hoarding resources doesn’t exist. To them, when there’s plenty, you vie for it all within the social group (seems there are hierarchies?) and no one has to go hungry and there’s no waste (including wasted energy). This also preserves plenty of leisure and social time.

If raised in an environment where it makes sense to hunt and you encourage them to do so, they’ll happily contribute what they believe to be palatable food. If left alone, reasonably fit cats can fend for themselves too if necessary.

They’ll take what shelter they get and bury their waste so it can fertilize the ground.

They probably mean grammar, since most Google operators do work. If there’s a specific difference in search syntax (other than bangs) though, I’d love to know what I’ve been missing.

If you connect to the wrong tower, can’t they get IMEI info? That won’t include OS, but it will give phone model/mfr and other details. I remember reading about regional police forces or intelligence agencies gathering data in North America at least (and they were explicitly gathering personal & usage data too, to see if they could find criminals supposedly).

Same 👍

Yup, just walk away… or answer ‘no’ since smart folks don’t always say ‘yes’

Take this!

Why do I get the impression that blep is daring me to do something?

How thoughtful! They know you’ll be needing some of their companionship during your trip, even if only in the form of fur left behind.
