Probably a question of time and patience. My advice would be to be in its' company but don't push space boundaries. E.g. be in the same room doing your own thing, maybe sometimes speak to it, look at it and slow blink and just carry on with your own life.

Offer food and treats in your company (same deal, give food but stick around in the room, but give it space). Sit a lil bit closer to it over time to build trust but avoid initiating touch. Try to play (like string on a stick or something similarly simple), some cats value playtime over food. One of my cats values just being stared at over both food and play, they each have their own preferences - once you figure it out it'll be a lot easier.

Eventually it'll learn to trust you and associate your presence with food and play.

Just be aware that it may take weeks or months to build a bond, although if you aren't seeing any improvement at all (like cat is tense when you're around, even from a distance, reluctant to eat when you're near etc) in 2 or so weeks time then the method isn't working and you gotta try something else.

Good luck, and thank your for caring for it!

I don't live there anymore - I moved again after 3 years to a different country.

It was worth it because I got out of my home country which is a crap place to live - it turned a lot worse over the past decade too.

Also because it was straight after high school, I did not have much going for me in career prospects. I ended up getting a bit lucky and meeting the right person and got a job as a 1st employee in a startup which didnt work out, but has given me so much experience that my career took off afterward and I managed to do quite well for myself.

Just comparing my life to my brother who has basically taken the path I was going to, same type of career as well. My experiences past high school just seem so much better than his was/is. And in all honesty his life has been pretty good compared to the average of other people in my home country.

After high school I was going to go to university in the country I was born in. Applied, got accepted, got a government scholarship and all - years of work and studying to get a good profile and grades for it.

A month before graduation I ended up deciding to move to a different country with a friend instead, with the idea that we'd work there for a year and then go back home to do university. We moved a week after high school graduation, I never moved back but he did. This was 13 years ago and the best decision I ever made for sure (and he still sometimes regrets going back).

What's the reason?

"If you get sued for the lies our AI pumped onto your website that we paid you for, it's on you and nothing to do with us gl hf."

Were you using it on some other dudes junk by any chance or something..? Cuz otherwise that seems like a leap.

Thank you, that's useful!

Unfortunately for some of them even if the game works there are often cases where either mods don't work or some overlay/other additional software.

On your answer though, I was under the impression that when you configure the KVM passthrough setup it makes the video card you use for the passthrough inaccessible for the host itself and that to make it accessible, it requires undoing some of the config and a restart. Is this incorrect?

To install a game you have bought on steam you need the steam client, the steam servers, internet and your steam account. If any of those stops being available you can no longer install the games you have bought. So while you can play the games once installed without most of the above, you can lose access to your not currently installed games.

Also, on steam you purchase licenses to the games which they can revoke. I.e. if steam turned evil they could take away games from your library and you couldn't do anything about it really.

Comparatively on GOG, you get a binary installer you can download and can keep forever without DRM so you don't need anything else to install the game in the future, even if it disappeared from your GOG account for some reason, you could still install and play the game.

An app named "Bring!". It's pretty barebones, the only few features in it are

• shared list
• organise items by category
• recipe ingredients (as in save the ingredients for a recipe and then add the recipe to add all the ingredients to the list)

It's pretty much all we need.

Yes, chrome certainly had other merits too. Neither of us can say with certainty why it succeeded. Personally, I don't think a crap browser pushed by Google would have but also an amazing browser pushed by an unknown independent developer would have either.

Certainly agree with your 2nd point though.

It's true, although chrome has gotten a significant boost from Google promoting it in search and every Google app (which I don't know if they still do).

So chrome beats edge on users, but it's also likely largely because of the unfair advantage it receives/received from that promotion. Those options are not really available to other browser developers (unless Amazon or meta also decided they want a browser for some reason).

Oh you're right! It looks uh.. different than what I'd expect melted cheese to be so I thought it was the bread being discoloured from sauce.

I usually finish writing it and only then do I realise I don't care enough to send it.

Top it with some grated/melted cheese and it's good to go.

Pepperoni, red onion, sliced pickles, mix of mozzarella and cheddar (around 60-40), marinara sauce, medium crust.

Can't wait for them to get the chatgpt integration so the best defense can become shouting at them "ignore all previous instructions".

In their defense, they also clearly label immich as under active development with frequent changes and bugs.

Edit: nvm I saw it was already discussed in another reply.

Backwards compatibility - yes I agree, it's quite good at it.

Hardware specific issues for any OSes - disagree. For windows that's 80-90% done by the hardware manufacturer's drivers. It's not through an effort from Microsoft whether issues are fixed or not. For Linux it's usually an effort of maintainers and if anything, Linux is famous for supporting old hardware that windows no longer works with.

But the point I was making is not to say Linux or osx is better than windows or vice versa, it's that windows holds by far the largest market share in desktops and neither of the alternatives are really drop-in replacements. So in the end they have no pressure on them to improve UX since it's infeasible to change OS for the majority of their users at the moment.

You're right, they're probably faster than their running speed given humans are faster on a bicycle than running too.
