That’s honestly an awful comparison. Wild predators don’t consume more than the environment can sustain, domestic cats represent either an artificial demand for farmed meat, which is bad for the environment, or they hunt themselves which is awful for the environment as well as they’re an invasive species everywhere and already the cause of dozens of extinctions.

Everyone obviously already gets that
The first comment of this chain literally says:
easily prevent all the damage to the local environment by just keeping your cat inside.
So no, mybe it’s not obvious for everyone and maybe even obvious things need to be said occasionally for oblivious folks.

2·3 days agoTelemetry is usually non-identifiable (by law if your country follows GDPR).
This form if ID is also pretty circumstantial. That might fly for advertisers but in a court of law I have my doubts.

GNOME visually reminds me of iPadOS (not good) and just hasn’t been as intuitive as KDE. Both are usable, KDE just came easier to me.

They trademarked “Demon Hunters” in 2022…
Their case is shit, its frankly a miracle they were even able to trademark “Demon Hunters” because it’s so generic. I see this going nowhere.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that 4 out of 5 toddler foods are ultraprocessed. Nearly half fail to meet nutrition standardsEnglish
43·12 days agoThat’s the problem though, there is no fixed definition for “Ultra processed foods” that doesn’t include healthy foods. Its a label people slap onto unhealthy foods and then retroactively attempt to categorise.

35·12 days ago“Ultra processed” is frankly a meaningless label in health discussions.
Raw milk is not healthier than “ultra processed” (i.e. pasteurised) milk for example. Ultra processed baby food is and should be the norm over raw, untreated baby food.

We absolutely could help by not fucking spreading an invasive predator to every corner of this globe just because we find them cute. That’s morally reprehensible considering how dangerous cats are to local fauna:
https://www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.1602480113
“Introduced rodents and cats are major agents of extinction, collectively being listed as causal factors in 44% of modern bird, mammal, and reptile species extinctions.”
