Yes, although regular brushing (esp. with a deshedder) and vacuuming helps a lot.

Yeah, that’s got my attention too. Definitely going to try them out now since I need an alternative for remote support for family.
Thanks.
Really appreciate you taking the time to explain that. Unfortunately the journalism issue is one of those that I haven’t had a chance to look into. I like to think I’m aware of the Murdoch propaganda (and the other major “news” outlets here) but there’s still clearly some topics which don’t register as problematic until I dig into them.
As an Australian, my government can go for it. None of the tech companies have appreciated the Australian government’s attempts to regulate them (e.g. trying to make Google and Meta pay for using our journalism). (edit: not a good example)
That said, we have had idiots in power from time to time that definitely have worked against us, usually arguing the “security over privacy” nonsense (metadata collection laws, encryption backdoor legislation, etc.).
Yeah, that’s deliberate, intentional targeting of the journalist and/or camera crew.
Interesting, I hadn’t seen news about that Apple feature before… There seems to be a lot more press around Recall, which in turn amps up the amount of consumer attention and backlash.
That said (and I wouldn’t want Apple’s “semantic search” even if I had an Apple device), I’d still trust Apple more to manage the dataset securely compared to Microsoft. The Apple ecosystem is far more strictly controlled, whereas in Windows it’s more of a free-for-all (most people just used XP as an administrator, the UAC could be easily disabled on Windows Vista and 7, etc.). Especially with Microsoft’s move to put advertising in Windows 11 and complete lack of security measures in the initial version of Recall, it is very hard to trust Microsoft in this regard.
Yeah, I really struggle to understand it. No-one in the energy industry supports nuclear as far as I can tell and yet people can’t see that the Nationals are pushing it as a way to avoid actually doing anything about climate. It’s like the Nationals want to make themselves irrelevant by intentionally (through stupidity, willful ignorance or sheer disingenuousness) harming their constituents.
Currently testing out Shiori. I have tried both it and Readeck on my Raspberry Pi 3B running 32-bit Raspbian ‘Bullseye’. From an installation and performance perspective, Shiori is easier: 32-bit binaries are available and its web interface is a bit more responsive. If you are not running a 64-bit version of the Raspberry Pi OS, you have to build Readeck yourself (which I successfully did).
The main attraction of Shiori over Readeck is that it has both a readable and archive view. The main downside for me is it lacks the read/unread feature of Readeck and Pocket (although that’s apparently something planned for future and in the meantime, it’s possible to workaround using tags).
Both have a browser extension to enable capturing pages that contain Javascript and do not gracefully degrade. Both also have an export-to-ebook function that may suit your e-reader.
Bottom line: if you have an RPi4 or later, then Readeck is probably want you want. If you’re running an older Pi, though, Shiori may be a better option.
Definitely #1. I’ve encountered #2 with a very specific IDE and #4 and #5 on occasion.
Thankyou for fighting the good fight!
That is remarkably coherent for a sovcit.
This is very true. Several people who are close to me have mentioned feeling exactly this - that they had some personality defect, when in reality they were neurodivergent.
At least you could get away with using a chair cover and share the chair.
I ended up getting not only a second chair, but an elevated cat bed too so that both my cats had somewhere comfy to sit whilst I was at my desk!
This. All the Christians that support a theocracy need to stop and realise that there’s no guarantee that their particular denomination is going to be the one running said theocracy. The whole concept of freedom of religion depends on the separation of church and state.
Good to see sanity prevailing.
Next question is how the Trump administration will respond. My guess is that they’re not going to do anything about everyone they’ve deported illegally at this point.
One of mine very quickly learnt to jump onto my desk and get in my face when he wanted attention. The other (the lap cat) recently realised how effective that was and has started doing it too.
This might have something to do with it: https://fedia.io/m/tenforward@lemmy.world/t/545197/Why-I-left-Startrek-website-created-TenForward-and-the-admin-abuse
There are also deshedder brushes/combs that will help - the idea is that it removes all the loose fur, particularly from the undercoat. Depending on the time of year this can get rid of a lot of volume.
