I live in a college town. Several of our dogs came from the shelter, one of them was found in an empty apartment. Her owner moved and just left her, probably assumed someone would take her to the shelter.

It’s apparently pretty common around here. Luckily someone found her, but some of these apartments don’t immediately have a new tenant and the dog dies.

I just can’t imagine doing this. Our dogs are part of the family.

Iirc Firefox and I think Safari are the only major non-chromium browsers. It makes me so sad because I remember Google’s “don’t be evil” days… man they left that behind

I have two Instagram accounts and I created a Threads account on one. Searched for the other and there’s nothing I can find for it. Definitely can’t follow the second account on Threads.

I’m not trying to be a Meta apologist here. I trust them about as far as I can throw a car (especially given the insane amount of data collection mentioned in the App/Play Stores) but in my limited test I don’t see a way to follow an account until you activate it on Threads

One of my work systems is like this. What’s even better is that not only does it log you out randomly, it also doesn’t reload the screen so you don’t know you’re logged out until you try to use it.

It’s the paid version. They give you 7 free days of the paid version so you can get a feel for all of the features. I like it so far. 1Password is probably a little “better” because it’s more polished and there’s a few things it has that Proton doesn’t, like a desktop app. But as far as day to day goes they’re pretty similar, and Proton’s running a launch special where you can get two years of the paid version for $24. That’s kind of hard to be since 1Password is $35 a year

I’m sure the thought of the people who are okay with it is “the major effects will be after I’m dead and in the here and now I’m rich”

I had pretty much this same thought just the other day. It’s so disheartening how oil companies and other industries managed to delay any significant changes that might have prevented this.

NTA I was 20 when my parents split up because my dad had been cheating. It’s an open secret but he’s never admitted to it outright and I wish he would. I’d respect him more for it.

If your kids were younger I’d be more inclined to your YTA, but as it is, I don’t see a problem here.

Currently on Tom Hanks’ The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece and just finished The Glass Hotel by Emily St John Mandel. Not sure what’s next but I’ll start looking when I get closer to the end of this book
