I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

Has the cat’s diet changed at all? My understanding is that the allergy has to do with a protein that some cats produce, and it ends up on their fur through the saliva. Certain diets can reduce or eliminate the protein.
I don’t have any brands to recommend, but here is the study if it gives you something to go off of
Snack compartment
I can confirm, we banned that user and set it to remove their content from lemmy.ca
You were one of the 7 users that got messaged when we were looking into a report about it
It’s possible that their accounts were grandfathered in and already marked as “different people”. During the next little while (the exact period is unknown, but let’s say 6 months), any new accounts from that IP may get banned, but especially those that are deemed “suspicious”.
We don’t know the exact details because Reddit doesn’t release the details. You might find someone here who can tell you about workarounds, but most likely you’ll get the advice to move on and find something new. Most people are here because they no longer want to use Reddit, and I’d say the vast majority is here because they chose to leave and not because of bans
Your device has an ID, and there are various other metrics that they can use
A demonstration:

How does tracking technology follow your trail around the web, even if you’ve taken protective measures? Cover Your Tracks shows you how trackers see your browser. It provides you with an overview of your browser’s most unique and identifying characteristics.
Is the only way to evade the ban to dodge your online fingerprint? (new phone, new email, new ph number. Etc)
Not easily. If Reddit isn’t getting enough data from you, and they can’t figure out who you are, they will often just ban you again
I don’t think the developer has any control over the ads. Google selects those?
Best you can do is to report those ads to Google, or get rid of them by buying premium / blocking them with pihole or a DNS blocker
Unless they mean something like the Respondus rootkit

IMO some exams should just be proctored in person
Is this because it’s getting difficult for students to mess with the boot options?
I haven’t heard of any learning curve with Jellyfin. It seems easy to set up, and the apps are about as user friendly as you can get (especially the third party ones)
Most sites run as well, if not better, on Firefox for me.
If you’re running a quick and dirty test, you might not get an accurate picture of the performance differences. For example:
You could try giving Firefox a clean install, or opening it in safe mode (it’s now called troubleshoot mode), to see if there’s any difference
Also YouTube

Changing the user agent seems to help in some cases
A few other notes
MSN links are annoying because they act as a wrapper for the content that another actual news site put out. Finding the original link is better for everyone, and it helps on the Lemmy side since then the UI can indicate cross posts with that correct link
I don’t find as much value in news stories with “Trump says” in the headline. It helps in order to anticipate what kind of issues he might cause next, but otherwise I’d much rather read what actually happened instead of losing brain cells reading what trump said about it
Your post isn’t showing up right. I think you meant to put the link in the post body: https://www.hphhfoundation.org/blog/origin-of-cats
Being able to bend backwards is genetic, and at the extremes it’s commonly called this:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitchhiker's_thumb
I haven’t heard of your case where you can’t bend it forward. Does it hurt or cause any discomfort if you try to move it forward (without help and also with some gentle pressure)?
That sounds rough
If you don’t mind sharing, what is your hardware setup? Maybe someone can recommend a distro that’s more likely to work out of the box with your computer. While I haven’t tried it myself, Bazzite might be better for you if it can get you gaming without having to do too much additional work:
I also recommend Foliate as the other comment said. Frog is great for extracting text quickly, especially with the screenshot tool
I’ve been following this project
https://github.com/epicenter-so/epicenter/tree/main/apps/whispering
They recently got a bunch of investment and hired some staff, and so they’re developing fairly quickly. I saw an update about local Whisper support the other day
Assuming it stays user friendly (currently open source - MIT), it might be a good option for you. Previously it was here:
I think OP agrees with this and included it in the premise, and is discussing a future leap in technology
Sounds good! There’s also [email protected] and similar communities to ask questions for all the specific issues you are working on

Do this in order:
Install with LUKS full-disk encryption and Btrfs subvolumes for
@and@homeso snaps are atomic.Enable automatic snapshots with Timeshift or snapper.
Export your package lists:
dpkg --get-selections > packages.txtpacman -Qqe > pkglist.txtflatpak list --app > flatpaks.txtPut your dotfiles under version control and manage them with chezmoi or GNU Stow.
Use Flatpak for GUI apps, containerized toolchains (podman) for dev environments, and keep only system-critical packages in the distro manager.
Back up with Borg:
borg init --encryption=repokey /path/to/repo ; borg create repo::$(date +%F) /home /etc --stats ; borg prune --keep-daily=7 --keep-weekly=4 --keep-monthly=6Keep a small, bootable USB with the exact kernel/tools you use so you can unlock LUKS and mount Btrfs snapshots.
Test restores quarterly: restore a snapshot to a spare partition and boot it. Do that for a year and tell me reinstalling is fun again.
