A lot of people who have cats let their furry friends do as they please when it comes to sleeping on computers — not me. They know I don't like it and they almost never do it — they are surprisingly disciplined and I did very little to make it so, there are only a couple of cables they chewed on when they were younger. Especially the bigger one, which arrived to my home when he was 1 y.o. or older, the smaller one is more mischievous, but doesn't cause much trouble either.

Yes, I have an electric heated pad and they practically live on it in Winter!
They prefer wearing their sweaters even when sleeping on it — they can take them off themselves when they are hot, but they rarely do that, they LOVE warmth.
As the pad is rather small, they sometimes start fighting over it and as this breed has matriarchy that tiny cat makes the bigger fella leave. He has a spot behind the TV near a centrally heated wall where she doesn't go — I call it his office 😹

Photographic evidence of it being cold enough for the #cats to wear sweaters 😸

@sufferforme
They do get this, but they decided to put effort into convincing people to accept the poverty instead of fighting it. Doesn't always work well, but they have been relatively successful up to this point 😩

This government did a lot to make sure there are plenty of widowed Arya-chans "on the market", if that is your thing… 😏

@romin
Move to Moscow — my cats are freezing here. They hate Winter and generally prefer when it's warmer, but I didn't expect them to be cold early in August — to the point that yesterday I had to dress them in their sweaters 😹

@annika
I also like the instruction "Only output valid JSON and nothing else" 😂

I can see where this is coming from: you don't even think about customisation as long as you like everything and think that it's only people who have too much time on their hands do.
It was the same with me and early Mac OS X — there are some changes that you can adapt to and I did up to 10.9, but 10.10 was so bad that it made my blood boil, on my two 30" displays using it was genuinely a tiring experience.
I treasure having the option to fix things I don't like about the UI😄

@Hyolobrika
Is it morally right or whether you can do it?
It's certainly okay to do it if you hold the citizenship. Many Russians do that and vote at polling stations they set up at embassies — and the results as you can guess are significantly different that they are on average domestically 😂
I'm not sure whether US does it the same way, but if you want to vote and can legally do that being abroad, why not? 🤷

@silhouette
It is! It didn't look cool back in the day either. But the UI designs we have today are just garbage IMO, especially what Apple dies — just looking at that is painful 😖
But the worst part with modern GNOME is that in an attempt to make it more "streamlined" they've managed to make it both garbage and way less customisable — you can't even make it look better without putting significant effort into it.

It's a bit harder with meme pictures because you have to explain the joke, but in some cases it's also pointless as no amount of text would make it funny, so a short summary would be okay even in this case 🤷

@kaia @kim
I think they are same as us — want to just have a short summary of what is there. Even people with perfect vision enjoy reading summaries before delving into long reads, right?
So "a cat looking smug laying on the desk" is fine — but if the post itself had some funny story about said cat, they might always ask you the details, e.g. what colour are the cats eyes and so on.
When it's a screenshot, I provide whats' in it as text too — it doesn't take long.

@kaia @kim
A few of my posts started getting interactions months after. I think that spending five minutes on alternative text isn't worth it in any case, make it a few sentences which would help the person decide whether they should see the picture or not. I don't know why some people make alt texts about visually impaired — I don't think that any amount of text would make you enjoy the picture if you can't see it yourself. And it's not like they want to read the description of every picture.

@cell
Oh, we have this franchise here!
I didn't know they sell burgers though 🤭

@lain @kaia
And sincerely apologise for not kicking them the fuck out earlier 😈

@kaia @foxhkron
We can do not the shit we're supposed to be doing for the whole month? Woo-hoo! 🤩

@newt
Why a separate output for headphones? Does it have a built-in amp? 🤔

Boiling water kills the bacteria and most of the viruses anyway, so if it looks clean, what's the difference? If you're squeamish and this was done in front of you, that's definitely a problem, but if you're not even aware of that ever happening? Whatever! 🤷
