Oh no, maybe this will stop us finding another planet to ruin.

Because BlueSky will get them more engagement than Mastodon.

If the Matrix Foundation can deliver on all the points of this blog post then Matrix will take off as a platform. The problem I have is that in the past they’ve been poor at handling issues in any sort of reasonable time frame, or at all.

Hoping they’ll eventually turn over a new leaf.

I’ve been very mindful not to recommend Matrix until the clients and protocol become much more stable. When you’re recommending platforms to average users you really need to jump in and try it yourself. If too many problems come up just don’t recommend. Or alternatively do recommend if you want them to leave you alone :3

My brain: damn that’s a big cactus

“Some humans?” I want to know more about that part.

I absolutely hate when the ABC does these scrolling articles, they are by the far the worst thing to read.

The router crashed will become far more literal than it previously was.

Take my upvote.

What did they have the audacity to not want to be worked to the bone?

Beep boop, thanks for the work you do for the community.

Apparently I am dense cause I only realized from this meme.

That’s why I’d take the position of being cautious and waiting for better quality studies.

There really needs to be more studies done and then a meta study to really nail this down. Or at least some high quality well reviewed studies.

You can bet the same people who made this sign would lose it if someone told them they didn’t eat meat.

Bragging about killing animals to eat is really not the flex you think it is Jimmy.

Overall, it seems the jury is still out on whether feeding our carnivorous four-legged friends vegan diets is actually safe. What we can be certain about is that both strong pro- or anti vegan pet feeding arguments are potentially misguided, and not backed by evidence. For now, owners committed to feeding their pets a vegan diet should take a cautious approach. Use a complete and balanced commercial vegan diet formulation, and schedule regular health checks with a veterinarian.

There is an urgent need for large-scale population-based studies to further investigate this question, with a particular focus on assessing the dietary aspects cited to be of particular concern, e.g., taurine and folate. For guardians wishing to feed their pets vegan diets at the current time, based on the available evidence it is recommended that commercially produced vegan diets are used since these are less likely to lead to nutrient imbalances.

“In the few studies that measured health directly through examining the animals or running laboratory tests, there was little evidence of adverse health impacts from vegan pet diets. Nutrient levels were generally within normal range, no heart or eye abnormalities were detected, and body and coat condition were normal.”

“However, it’s important to note these studies often involved low numbers of animals, with vegan diets only being fed to animals for a few weeks – so deficiency may not have had time to develop. Furthermore, the study designs were often ones considered less reliable in evidence-based practice, for example with no control groups used as a comparison.”

For me personally I wouldn’t try to keep a dog and especially a cat on a vegan diet until there’s more robust evidence to say that it would be safe to do so.

This is me.

I’m having the same problem, YouTube just keeps recommending videos completely outside the scope of my interests and I can’t figure out why.

I’ve been using it a whole lot less now, so I’m not sure what Google’s end goal is.
