otherwise we end up with another version of COBOL.

We’re already there, I don’t see VBA being phased out of accounting or finance for at least a decade and I’m not even sure then.

Another Sys Admin confirming that yes, the finance department runs nearly entirely on VBA. They would be lost without it.

Thank you for some sanity. Dems are far from perfect but they’ve done a lot of good and can continue to if we can get more in office.

I know I get annoyed by webp because Telegram processes it as a sticker instead of a normal image. That’s my only gripe with it, but like you said that’s more Telegram than the actual format.

And there you go accusing somebody else of acting superior with that tone. While the projection is palpable it’s tiring, please, go away.

I didn’t know a single sentence at the beginning of my comment qualified as a rant. I’m sorry you feel so attacked by pointing out that a cat owners house doesn’t need to smell and that it was confirmed by others in the comments.

different people have different senses of smell and life experiences.

Maybe you should listen to your own words and realize that our homes don’t have to smell just because yours does. Have a nice day.

I vaguely remember a while back talking to my partner about the same thing when changing the litter, I think you’re right in that they did change formulas at some point.

I don’t think my house smells bad. I hope.

Best way is to ask guests imo, since we’re nose blind to it. That’s how I know my house doesn’t smell, guests who don’t own cats tell me so. We use world’s best though and have great results from it, we also only have the one cat so that might explain the lack of dust compared to what you were dealing with. There’s definitely some dust but not enough to cause an issue or get anywhere outside the box.

The litter we use is unscented, you can only smell it if you stick your head directly in the open bag. It’s only like $5-8 more than the other bags too, well within reason for a home that doesn’t smell. If you’re interested this is what we use. Can’t recommend it enough, it completely eliminates the smell as long as you keep up with cleaning. But go off on how much better I think I am than others I guess.

It’s entirely possible to have a cat without your house smelling but so many cat owners get lazy with the litter cleaning. We have one cat, use corn based litter (can’t stand the clay smell of the cheaper litters) and scoop it once a day at least. I’ve had guests multiple times confirm with me that I had a cat when they came over because they couldn’t smell anything and are used to that smell you’re describing. One friend demanded to see where the litter box was because they didn’t believe me lol. As long as you keep on the litter it only takes like thirty seconds to scoop it so there’s no hassle doing it once or twice a day. Also using the correct litter makes a big difference too.

I wouldn’t go that far.

random US city response, probably

Not random. You just described Houston, Texas.

Nice, some of my material is also ttrpg related so that’s especially helpful haha Thanks!

No doubt, this is the best mushroom book imo. It’s on my shelf as I type this.

It’s a terrible platform for minor authors.

Mind if I ask what a better option would be? Looking to release some work myself in the next year and was going to start looking at which options would be best.

Also, this pages where it is impossible to select any text at all.

On android, you can still select text on those pages from the switch apps screen (swipe up from the bottom, hold, then release on Pixels). Found that workaround on accident lol

Yeah, I’ll give that a try and see if they can increase storage per user and what I’d need to do to help with the load. I didn’t think to make the request on GitHub though, I’ll definitely check to see if anybody else made that suggestion/request and put it in if not.

That’s a good point, I’ll reach out to instance admins about that and see if that’s doable. Thanks for the suggestion!

Yeah, somebody else suggested that in another reply too. I’ll give that a go and hopefully that can address my issues with the platform. Thanks!

Running my own instance unfortunately isn’t a feasible option for me at this moment in my life. I’ll be looking into that in the future when I’m in a better spot but it’s not an option for a lot of creatives. I may have the technical knowledge to run and upkeep an instance but most artists aren’t that tech savvy. So this will remain a problem for Pixelfed attracting artists even if I run my own instance.
