I’m always unsettled when discussing this topic that people can readily accept and understand that pets are unable to digest the same foods as us when it comes to toxic things like grapes or chocolate. Their livers and kidneys can’t break those compounds like caffeine and tartaric acid down as an efficiently as ours.

Similarly people readily accept the idea that a bird can eat nightshade and a deer can eat poison ivy because their bodies can digest foods ours can’t.

But that somehow doesn’t help them infer the same thing can mean those animals cannot get their nutrients from foods the same ways that we can and vice versa. That human dietary concepts don’t just magically apply to the whole animal kingdom

Unlike omnivores, cats are unable to synthesize arginine, taurine, methionine and cystine, arachidonic acid, niacin, pyridoxine, vitamin A and vitamin D from their own organs and must get it from other sources. Their livers and kidneys simply cannot make this material from other materials. For the most part this list of nutrients is not available in complete form in plants.

Our bodies for example make vitamin D from sunlight via our skin (d7). But can also get it in multiple base forms and synthesize it from animal based foods containing d3 or from compounds containing D2. Cats however only have the ability to use D3 and cannot synthesize D7 or convert D2 to D3 (omnivore liver)

In theory you could make food in a lab that is technically vegan and supplies the above nutrients. Nobody has done this.

Yeah it turns out that Airbnb hosts behave much more like hivemind landlords than business owners. They all wind eachother up to behave the same in their forums and chatrooms. The advice on how to operate comes from other greedy reactive people and not from like consultants and data mining and people with degrees in their own field like it does with hotels and large businesses.

Airbnb hosts are “school of hard knocks” TikTok and Instagram advice listening get rich quick schemers who put minimal investment into quality.

Both groups are enshittfying their industries. But the downward slope is much steeper in airbnbs than it is in hotels.

IIRC wifi6 added the option for backplaning to be a different frequency, but not everyone implemented it. 6e even added 7ghz but basically nobody implemented it. So even with brand new equipment, you were super at the mercy of your end user devices and whether or not your mesh was physical or wireless and whether or not the mesh nodes themselves supported the same backplaning channels.

This example is a sellers agent and not a buyers agent. Buyers agents are basically useless parasites. We did all the work ourselves hiring a lawyer and an inspector and finding and going to listings on Zillow and other platforms ourselves and then this mooch basically caused the house we bought to be 2.5% more expensive for what exactly?

Oh hilarious. I still have to use a display link driver because the laptop can’t drive multiple external displays. It technically is a screen sharing driver. So in order for me to use my monitors I’m going to be constantly re approving my display drivers.

As an owner of one I now understand why they suck and would not buy one again unless it is part of a larger HOA. In a townhouse that is stand alone, it only takes one unit being a total fucking pissant to ruin the entire property. All the checks and balances break down with every vote and action being 50/50 with no tie breaker or third party sanity. Unless of course you want to hire a lawyer for everything.

Your good neighbor moves out and sells to some mouth breathers and everything spins wildly out of control.

Why UBI in a bubble with no housing reform is a fool’s errand

If a single billionaire bought all the heat pumps it would result in heat pumps becoming incredibly expensive overnight. The billionaire would be overpaying for every single one and it would take years for prices to correct

I think they mean natively detecting other Lemmy links and following them in-app instead of launching a browser. That’s usually what link-handling is shorthand for in the software industry

I frequently find voyager opens a browser to a random other lemmy instead of sending me to the post inside voyager itself

This is exactly how ebpf was implemented for the Linux kernel. You can build watchdog processes that can see what’s happening in the kernel and build kernel interrupts but it’s actually all executed in user space and not rewriting the kernel itself. Since it’s a proper api, it also means it’s incredibly hard to fundamentally break the system, unlike when you’re just blowing away kernel code with your own shit like all these security products do.
