We need to stop pretending this is due to a lack of education or critical thinking. Sure, that's true for some, but I'm betting the vast majority of these conspiracy theories are spread by people that know that they are lies and don't care. Evil Russian propaganda bots aren't a great explanation for the totality of the phenomena. People say outrageous things because it gets them clicks on the internet and hurts the "other team".

We saw it recently with the lady lying about hatian immigrants eating cats - link. She didn't care how true it was - only that it hurt the other team. They have it comin', anyway, is their perspective when they're saying these things.

I'm not touting apple. Its just a fact.Graphene has you check boxes so you know you're giving permissions to your car. It informs you what information you're giving to android auto. And, if you've installed apps through alternate sources, you do have to go through developer mode in Android Auto to enable apps from alternative sources. It takes less than 5 mins and you only have to do it once, but if you don't, you'll end up thinking android auto is broken in graphene, like the poster I was responding to believed.

I don't think there is a better solution for graphene - it works fine after minimal setup. I'd gladly do that to preserve my privacy when it matters.

Apple doesn't give a shit about informing you what it does with your info so it doesn't do that. I'm not saying its better I'm just being honest. Its quick and dirty.

Android auto also works fine for me. I haven't used an android phone in years so I can only compair it to apple car play. There are extra configuration steps to make it work but its not hard (just have to read some messages and go through some menus)

Apple car play "just works".

Pssh everyone knows the only correct diet for a cat is their natural one: giant ocean predators (salmon and tuna) and corn-fed livestock. All mixed up with preservatives and taurine and ash, just like their mawmaw cats used to make!

Ah yea, everyone that has an opinion that isn't mine is dangerous and deserves to be silenced. I totally agree. I think lemmy.world should refederate, and then defederate a second time, just to make sure they get the message.

Have you considered you are just observing this:

Hexbear is for communists to talk to communists. They get plenty of the "default" liberal opinions from waves hands around vaguely and are entitled to their own community, no?.

Obviously if you go into Hexbear and just start posting anti-China stuff they're going to ban you. It's not like the English-speaking world is bereft of anti-China news articles.

….theres a dead bug on the counter and you call this nigh impeccable?

I’m never eating dinner at your house

You got it. I even reported it.

For what it's worth I'm not even vegetarian. I'm interested in pet health and there really isn't any studies I can find saying vegan cat food is bad for cats... which I found very surprising. My cat is diabetic so I can only feed her prescription food anyway.

None of these article titles go anywhere when searched on google.

The articles from the Journal of Animal Science can't be found on this archive: link

Do you have the DOI for any of these articles?

It seems like it should be easy to find real studies showing vegan diets are bad for cats. I hope this isn't AI generated.

"feculate carnivore" returns no results on google. Oblate carnivore returns results for obligate carnivores, looks to be that obligate/oblate is used interchangeably?

I haven't heard either of these terms as a native English speaker. Perhaps they are regional terms, or terms from another language?
