Are there gloves made specifically for playing with particularly feisty cats? in c/cat@lemmy.world

Don't encourage that behavior in your cat. Hands aren't toys. Get cat toys for you and your cat to play with together.

Microsoft keeps shooting itself in the foot with Edge in c/technology@lemmy.world

On mobile, when everyone was releasing their new voice assistant technologies, Cortana outperformed them all. On desktop I agree that Cortana was a waste of space.

I've been a MS products fan since Windows Phone, Cortana, and OneNote stole my heart. I loved the great features that Windows 10 and Edge provided out-of-the box. Bing provided better results than Google for some time.

But Phone was never accepted by the market, and with it, Cortana faded away. OneNote hasn't kept up with the market, and they somehow broke the cursor on mobile. Sticky Notes lost compatibility with Dark Mode. They started pushing ads to Windows start menu, and embedded ads in Edge Collections.

Microsoft makes great software, then fuck it all up. Oh well, back to Linux.

Wait a second. Cops AREN'T supposed to punch suspects in the face?

Should instances defederate with other instances anymore if we can filter instances out on our end? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

[–] joeyv120@ttrpg.network 5 points 2 years ago

Yes. I think it's especially important for attracting (or perhaps more accurately, maintaining) new users to the fediverse.

How do you guys cope with the fact that the world isn't getting any better? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I'm not in a position to affect change in a powerful way. So I try to stay educated and informed, I vote at the ballot box, I vote with my wallet, I donate what I reasonably can to places where I think it will help, and I speak out when it's appropriate to do so.
