IIRC, Ente has a working Import for Google Takeout correctly joining the Live Photos. Maybe it’s with taking a look at that for some inspiration.

The cat might know your name though! Cats learn the names of other animals and humans in their household.

Not really related to selfhosting per se, but two things come to my mind:

• Anytype is kinda like obsidian, but with a different approach. Every object is of some type and those can be searched, filtered etc in collections and sets - based on tags, attributes, … IIRC there even is a pre-made type „bookmark“ for links and documents.
• As of a workflow: for stuff like this I really feel that a „simplified“ GTD-approach works best for me - dump everything into an „inputstream“ as you encounter it and process this on a daily (or weekly) basis; prioritise, tag, remove it

When you’ve got no fancy coloured markings on your, you gotta help yourself? 🤷‍♂️

tolerates?

Because they mostly come in awesome boxes!

Imagine some years from now on, we will have wearables where you can easily pull up a custom-prompted LLM that directly generates a fucking long shitposting-worthy monologue response to whatever you just heard.

Yo, I think your explanation could really be improved with some references, sources and links for further leisure-reading, imo

Beautiful specimen!

I really like how both of them look slightly annoyed :)

I read an article on this a while back that made me refrain from actually getting bees. I can’t find it right now, but the gist is that domesticated honeybees will compete with a lot of other pollinators (mainly solitary bees) over the exact same food sources.

However, the honeybees have a gigantic advantage in being supervised, housed and generally looked after by the apiary. Which will also employ methods to stimulate hive-growth, driving the hives demand for food.

That is something a solitary bee - or another pollinator depending on the same nutrition - cannot compete with, driving them away.

So, in a nutshell: adding bees to a place already rich in honeybees? Whatever. Adding honeybees into a local ecosystem not having them rn? That will drastically lower biodiversity

Yea, they can live pretty long. It’s mostly the dangers out there (cars, people, poison, other animals) that shorten the lifespan drastically.

That’s why indoor cats have a longer lifespan on average.

Also, the kidneys… keep an eye on them and your cat should do pretty well for a long time

Totally not a dumb question tbh - the answer probably also highly depends on where you’re from.

In Germany (also highly depends on county/city) yes, they do normally fare pretty well and shelters often operate multiple feeding stations where there are a lot of strays. So they get to know the „local strays“ and can keep an eye on them via volunteers and cams.

When a cat is visibly sick, they catch them at this station, treat them and if the cat is alright, oftentimes release them again - shelters are notoriously full and money ist scarce for these organisations unfortunately…

However, if there are conditions that make life for this cat (or others - e.g. FIV) dangerous, they are normally kept in the shelter and then opened for adoption as a „only indoors cat“.

Also, older cats often end up in shelters because they often belonged to older people - and when they can’t care for the cats anymore, have to move or die one day, the cats have to go somewhere too.

Brave girl! And good on you to neuter them! Give her a lot of cuddles and treats :)

For the pills: A stupidly good tip I’ve read on Lemmy a while back is butter! Cats love that stuff and it masks the bitterness of the medicine. Wash your hands after initial handling of the pill, rub them in a bit of butter between your fingers and optionally put them into a snack your cat likes. That way, I can give my one very picky cat its meds daily.

When our cat had this surgery, the vet told us that she should not jump and climb if possible. So, maybe set everything she likes up the way so she won’t have to climb/jump? Ours especially liked to crawl into our bedsheets afterwards, so I set up the bed on the ground for some nights.

And, if you have another cat: separate them if you can’t watch them. Cats can’t really recognise their fellows after a surgery (meds, wounds and the vet mask their normal smell) and might go a bit berserk on them.
