Getting a jump start on #caturday, before I forget.

Beware of Cat

This little lady has been hanging out with me pretty much non-stop since I got sick. She basically just leaves the bed for food & bathroom breaks. Absolutely THE BEST cat. #Erie #CatsOfMastodon

Back in 1992 or so there was a cat that would hang around the Fang Gang House in Madison and I called the cat "Claude" (because it's like "Clawed") and Milt call the cat "Mr. Roarke" but I thought that was a dumb name so I made a trading card for the cat with the name "Claude" on it.
I'll never name anything Claude (or "Clawed") again.

I guess people are tired of the Vim vs. Emacs or the tabs vs. spaces holy wars? 😅

I just went shopping in a store that has a resident cat (bodega cat, except it wasn't a bodega).
Cats always know who's allergic to cats, don't they?

RE: https://toot.cat/@plexus/116283016837715719
It should also be noted that beyond the ethical, political and environmental issues with this is that it doesn't work:
1. There is on average no mid to long term productivity gain with actual real-world software development that isn't just a "wow see what it can do" demo. (Multiple studies have shown that now.)
2. It won't help with 90% of the work when professionally making software, which, believe it or not, isn't coding. 90% of the work is designing and planning the software (these are things that happen both upfront and during development).
Maybe you have seen the recent Microsoft thing rolling back features in Windows they added?
E.g. Copilot in Notepad. What they did is essentially outsourcing project management to developers who then outsourced it to LLMs. But an LLMs can't plan and design software, and arguably barely can even generate code that works (as in reliable and performant). So now they have a buggy mess with features no one wants and they're rolling it back.
There's no silver bullets in software development.

My neighbor wiped out on his bike breaking a leg and has been off work for a month but he’s been doing illustrations to make some money so I got one of my cat in a box.

Guess the cat is proud of herself. Wife was in the other room so I placed a fried egg and small piece of ham on a plate by her chair Cat was asleep on the sofa on her heating pad. Figured she would not notice and had never seen her express interest in eggs before.
Went into the other room and a few minutes later heard the wife yelling at the cat. Came out and found the cat had taken her egg and ran behind the sofa with it.

Just patched a long fiber link, which would've absolutely _sucked_ to get CAT.7 cable through.
The steel-armored OS2 cable is cheap and super robust/easy to work with. The LC connectors are even smaller than the hole for CAT.7 would've been.
This is nice \o/
What I want to say is: Don't be afraid of fiber for DIY networking people, it's awesome and often muuuch better than copper cable!

Cat's health issues
Mr Ek is on mush diet, and looks like he's going to have his teeth removed. Ruh had them removed a few years back, but she was younger then.

A friend recently wrote me on Instagram that she can understand me, leaving the platform.
Her wishes / pain points:
* reduce my screentime
* get out of doomscrolling
* Not having to check every post whether it's AI generated (= Authenticity)
* funny cat videos
* book recommendations

thinking of #39c3 and all those people with cat ears. in retrospect it feels very unauthentic, none of them were sitting on the tables and pushing things off them. 🐱

I’m curious how this works across species. I’d go to the trouble of setting this sort of thing up to get my wife to #sleep, but not if it also put my cat on edge. https://noc.social/@todayilearned/116285…

I need to get a cat flap. Haven’t had a cat in a dozen years because I can’t take on the obligation… but we’ve got a broad collection of semi-ferals in the neighborhood.

I recall that a long time ago, someone told me I'm acting like a cat. Curious it didn't get me thinking; though I guess I didn't really know any cats back then.

A few pencil sketches I made of our cat Loki. Trying to get into drawing with almost no experience, and I love how even on this small example, sketching the same object three times already shows some immediate progress. :blobcatnomcookie:

Some books begin as sentences. Others begin as outlines or fragments scrawled on napkins at two in the morning. This one began as a sound. Specifically, it began as the sound of my own voice reading a line about a cat head floating through space in a Life Helmet, arguing with another cat head about whether their ship had a name, and realizing that the argument was funnier and sadder and more philosophically loaded than…

Our little cat just came running into the bathroom, demanding, as he does most mornings, no matter how cold, that the window be opened so he can sit in the sill and look outside.
And then he saw the storm outside and boom he’s gone. LOL

When you see someone with a "I don't like people" pin, and you're thinking "good that I identify as a cat".

#TIL that if you quote the "EOF" word for #bash here-document thing, it does not perform all the substitutions inside the here-doc, i.e. treats it like single-quoted rather than double-quoted string.

will get you raw '${foo}', no escaping needed.

I was lying in bed with a cat on me and the window shade decided to spontaneously roll itself back up scaring the crap out of both of us. He ended up leaving the room, probably because of the ghosts. I am still here. Alone. Afraid. Help.

My prefer pronoun is 🐱, like a stray tabby cat you see from distance. Specifically unknown, and won't matter what you use as the kitty just looks at you.
Not joking.
That being said, I will always respect other people's pronouns and you should too. :3

Had a dream last night where I offered shelter from some incoming rain in the "cat storage" shed.
They apologized for it was all they could offer, but I was happy!
Squeezed myself right in there with like 30 sleepy cats :3

I usually don’t post pictures that could potentially show where I live on social media, but I guess with this giant storm going on, I can make an exception this time.
Here’s a picture out our front door facing the street.

Aquesta matinada, entre les 00:30 i les dues i remitjó dol matinada, hi ha hagut una apagada elèctrica generalitzada a #Valls.
Aquest matí, guaitava les notícies locals i les xarxes socials i nulú estŠ parlant ni tan sols mencionant el tema.

Our cat needed some activities to keep him busy so he doesn't destroy the house. My partner bought a puzzle then I realized there are plenty of 3D models of cat toy puzzles as well.

Dear kitty sitter, please watch this instructional video

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.
While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a crow it came up that she has never been sat on by a cat. Like, not even once during childhood.
Another colleague admitted they also have never been sat on by a cat.
My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on b…
