I'm in Vienna, Austria. I have 5 supermarkets and 3 pharmacys in a 10 minute walking radius.

I agree that not including the D-Pad was a bad move, but if you play games that use the d-pad just for functions like map or switching of equipment, there was the option to use the trackpad like a weapon wheel where you could define i think 8 functions with OSD, and using one of the back buttons made that 16 functions you could define freely - you could replace the hotkeys of a game that used half the keyboard with this thing lol

I'm gonna wine and dine them next time :-)

funnily, my mother-in-law drove us to the vet one time, and my cats puke when getting driven around. using no transport box is no option, since 2 of our cats were feral when we got them, so they know how to survive in the wild and have no issues running off into the next group of bushes.

I often let the carriers stand outside, and they even sleep in them. i must be giving off other vibes when i take them out for the doc visit.

we have no car and use public transport. its a short ride, about 10 minutes bus and 10 minutes walk time, or about 40 minutes walking only (while carrying a cat in a box).

I didn't have a car in my entire life, because public transport in my city (Vienna) has great interval times, are nearly always clean and cheap to ride; long distance i prefer trains.

Mine know that it's vet time the second i get the transport boxes out of storage. I have to be pretty silent while they sleep so they don't notice that, or else i have to use persistance predation too.

e: a possible workaround is to store the transport boxes in different places everytime, but my options are limited.

They are not a Very Large Online Portal and do definitely not have to implement this in the EU under the DSA. There is a list, if you are on it, you have to do it, if not then not. Also, the EU wide system for eID is not yet completed and currently there is a plethora of single services, one per country, for eID.

I know that they have to do this stuff in the UK, but fkn leave me alone with that shit. It only causes me to switch location in my VPN and doesn't help anyone, not even the kids this crap law pretends to protect.

e: here'S the list. https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/list-designated-vlops-and-vloses

Tiananmen Winnie the Pooh 8647 Luigi Mangione

I'm gonna steal that if you don't mind

I would say that the general mood here that generative AI for creative use or technical tasks is fine, enabling people is a good thing. We are primarily an anarchist community, and generally not happy with the massive corporate control over something that should belong to everyone (bc the models are the cultural output of everyone) and the amount of VC money that is used to push AI where it doesn't belong in search of the next big thing.

Quite a few people run models on their own hardware (like me, to support me when learning stuff, or when my wife wants new seasonal pics representing our cats in cute styles) or are using AI Horde

There are users on our instance that are not cool with GenAI in general, but they are the minority.

It's depressing that the US, which is pushing AI hard, is also dismantling the structures they would need to get a populace with the soft skills mentioned above. The destruction of "everything woke" equals the destruction of soft skills.

the "fuck" command.

Since you need an Digital ID to sign, given by your government, i can't think of many issues.

e: i just looked since it was a while since i signed - you need to give your Passport number to sign, or use eID.

ok, i didn't know that, but i never had a dog in my life. TIL, thanks!

yeah sure they are, i didn't want to put those 2 things on the same level! i just wanted to say that you can't cut them like you would with a dog's claw without hurting your cat, and if in doubt, at least let the vet show you how first.

aaah i misremembered, it was Ted Cruz, oops :-D

I would not recommend that unless you know what you are doing. Unlike other animals, the claws of cats have living tissue inside, which means a cut too far from the tip is like cutting off a fingertip and pretty painful, just be forewarned.

e: thats also the reason why declawing is brutal and inhumane - there are a lot of nerve endings there too

especially that Abbot Ted Cruz, who brought this one up, voted against it in the end, which is pretty confusing for an european tbh

e: i mean that it's memeworthy lol

would start with 6.28
