Those are the parts of the room that need their smell subtly corrected. Also, they feel nice.

TXL@sopuli.xyzto Danger Dust@lemmy.world•Moon mining is getting closer to reality: Why we need global rules for extracting space resources1·7 hours agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Moon_Is_a_Harsh_Mistress
In 2075, the Moon (Luna) is used as a penal colony by Earth’s government, with three million inhabitants (called “Loonies”) living in underground cities. Most Loonies are discharged criminals, political exiles, and their free-born descendants; men outnumber women two to one, so polyandry and polygamy are the norm. Due to the Moon’s low surface gravity, people who remain longer than six months undergo “irreversible physiological changes”, and can never again live comfortably under Earth gravity, making “escape” back to Earth impractical.
Somehow I was immediately reminded of this.

Cat b hated water. Cat a you could put under a shower and he’d be happy.
Cat b hated nail clipping. Well, about three paws might be tolerated but then it’d be enough and you got the teeth. Cat a didn’t mind.
Cat b hated trips to the vet. Somehow he knew and would find the strangest hiding places that day and fight all the way into the carrier and out. Cat a would purr and brush against the vet, happy to see new people.
Taking medicine…
It wasn’t that cat b wasn’t chill or happy to be around people or anything, he was a big softy, really. But I can’t think of much that cat a complained about.

TXL@sopuli.xyzto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that I can drag a download link to my KDE desktop and it will automatically save the file to that location.English1·10 days agoSo, use an apt frontend that does that. I prefer to use apt search and apt show to find packages and then follow links if I want to read more. I was happy when I could remove aptitude, synaptic, deselect and whatever and just install what I wanted and only what I wanted instead. Also debfoster.
TXL@sopuli.xyzto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Do you think sometimes privacy practices of people at c/privacy or r/privacy communities are overparanoid or take things too far?5·10 days agoI think that “mental illness” kind of comments would come from people whose attitude for safety in many aspects of life is “that’s never going to happen (to me)”. Those people exist, so sooner or later you’ll see comments like that.
On the other hand everybody is trying to find a balance in convenience and safety and the situations and environments and life on general for one person can be quite different from that of some others’. So what’s adequate for one won’t be for another.
It’s like PPE or personal finance or many other things. There’s no one size that fits all and finding the right fit isn’t easy. For a lot of us it’s work in progress. Sometimes you know what’s definitely needed and tweak the details. Sometimes you know something is not going well and needs to change.
Maybe it’s enough to say that it’s complicated and have some compassion and support for people that think it isn’t. Or people that think it’s all too much to handle.
