His "thread" has been featured or popped up to people who doesnt share interests though.
For Mastodon I recommend to follow interesting accounts, set own language, check instances from nearby location.
Ben Werdmuller, a tech leader at ProPublica, discusses the trust crisis in Meta's Threads app after his comment about the Internet Archive's legal issues unexpectedly attracted a hostile audience. He was surprised by accusations of engagement farming, prompting him to question the assumptions behind such claims. Werdmuller discovered that Meta has been paying certain creators up to $5,000 for viral posts, leading to a climate where all content is viewed with suspicion.

Cats should not be allowed outside any more than any other pet. If you’re up to taking it outside in a harness, then that is great. Not sure that’s what you meant, but the idea that cats are independent enough to be allowed outside unsupervised is madness. They are an invasive species almost everywhere in the world, and likely to eventuay get themselves killed in a variety of ways.
They live in neighbourhood in forest. The house has fenced area, but while for the dog the only way go outside the fence are walks, the cat has no issues. What the cat si doing for couple hours while being outside? Nobody really knows... She brings hunted mice from the forest from time to time. I heard couple times some mewoing like it was cats argument, but this is pretty much it. Does she have fights with other cats somewhere else? Nobody knows. Sometimes she has some scratches after longer "expeditions".
The cat ABSOLUTELY MUST have scratching surfaces. They use scratching surfaces to peel off the outer layers of their claws as they grow, without this they will find other surfaces. If entirely prevented from doing so, the nails will get longer until they grow into their own paws.
I have told them that she needs a cat tree. I even bought one for xmas, quite expensive. I got some catmint for encouragement. I tried it make the cat like it for couple days. When I was leaving I told them that they could try to the let cat accustom to this new place.
However, after some time they told me that the cat didnt quite like it, so it ended up as a flower stand. I wonder if they even tried.
A cat can starve itself quite a bit instead of eat something it doesn’t want to eat. Sitting out some meals is fine, but if it continues to the point of the cat losing weight, finding something it will eat soon is important.
She eats mice even though she gets food.
Hence I make sure he drinks as much as I can, and I will sometimes drench the dry food, but that meal can’t then be left out for more than an hour or so.
Wet food is left out for some hours and then I hear these orders "You have to eat what is there first". I use a fork to mash it up and then she will eat eventually, but that's me.
My concern would the combinations of refusing wet food AND water. Like what the fuck? Not having a water bowl for the cat is not optional. Cats are extremely sensitive to dehydration, especially if eating dry food. The cat may be less inclined to drink from a shared bowl, or a bowl that has been sitting a couple hours, or if the water is the wrong temperature, or whatever. Encouraging cats to stay hydrated is very important, so any factor that might discourage drinking should be done away with.
She has a bowl wet and dry food. I thought about water bowl or cat fountain, but then they will think its "unecessary accessory".
They treat cat like a dog, that the cat will eat everything from anywhere.
Dogs don’t respond to punishment as well as reward, cats even less so. Cats especially do not understand temporally separated events. If two things don’t happen at the same time, cats see absolutely no relationship between them. Not eating food one time and not getting it next time will never get connected as cause and effect in the mind of a cat. The cat isn’t going to understand that it’s dehydrated, experience some kind of “shame”, and then eat the wet food next time. It will simply be miserable and not know why. Making sure the cat eats a balanced diet and stays hydrated is the owners job. As desert animals they have a low thirst-drive, hence why wet food is preferred to keep them from dehydrating. Withholding that because the cat didn’t eat it one time is cruel as hell. ESPECIALLY WITHOUT A WATERBOWL FOR THE POOR THING. If she insists on “punishing” the cat, suggest that she feed it a bit of dry food soaked in water instead of the probably expensive wet food. Cats absolutely must regularly get some water. That part is critical, otherwise you are putting it on a fast track to kidney failure.
My dad doesnt care at all. My stepmom treats cat like a dog and here I am, seeing this, questioning it in calm manner, she feels offended. She won't listen to me, because I don't have a cat or any other animal. I can only rely on some articles from web and learn from it or here now from lemmy. They don't even bother to learn or read about these subjects. They don't understand that they might have some obligations regarding owning the cat. They feel like its the same like owning the dog. They don't bother, because they have own activities and don't feel having time to learn. The cat is dog's companion. Just like that.

I feel quite uneasy when that happens, but in the same time I'm in a lost position, because I don't own animals, so "why should anyone bother about my opinion?".
I hate debating with her about anything, because when I question her beliefs, the atmosphere gets tense, she increases the tone and I'm pretty tired of it
While she treats her dog like her "daughter" and showers it with attention, it seems that the same level of care is not extended to the cat. As someone who has never owned a cat, I believe that providing a cat tree to prevent the cat from damaging furniture, along with some toys and daily access to fresh water, would significantly improve the cat's quality of life. Additionally, since the cat enjoys exploring the forest, having a safe space to play and roam is essential. Today, with temperatures soaring to 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit), she told the cat, "You won’t have wet food; we have to limit it because supplies run out too quickly." At the same time, she did not provide any water. When I inquired about this, she mentioned that the cat could drink from the dog's bowl if it wanted. I expressed my concern that sharing a water bowl could expose the cat to different bacteria and microflora, but this upset her. When I pointed out that not providing water could be considered a form of neglect, she responded that she didn’t want to hear it in her house. On another occasion, she became frustrated when the cat refused to eat the wet food she offered. In response, she told the cat, as if it could understand, "Now you won’t have any wet food; the bowl will be empty. You have dry food, so eat that." She even instructed us not to give the cat any wet food as a form of punishment. I am currently confined to the house for the next month due to an injury, and she is my stepmother. Her decision to adopt a cat seems to stem from a desire to alleviate her dog’s loneliness, which is understandable. However, I question whether simply providing food and allowing the cat to explore the forest for a couple of hours is sufficient for its well-being.

About current life I guess. Theres no interest whatsoever. Its funny, because they are more willing to talk via phone than when Im there in person.
Everytime when I visiti parents home it seems that don't care I'm even there. They have their "sports routines", which cannot be stopped. It happens to others too. Most topics revolt around what matches they had, with whom and watch matches in TV. Whenever they go to some holidays they look for sports hall for playing. They take part in exercises with coach, they play occasional games with 20+ friends. The last time I had some talk, was that one time couple months ago when I brought the board game to improve our family integrity and communication skills, to get to know each other better, but that was once. I feel that I I know them mostly on the surface level currently.

Theres no balance when one instance floods the whole network with millions of users. Soon people will mean that "threads" is whole "fediverse" .

Okay, thats the response for rich people. Whats the offer for less rich who would like to "disconnect from the system"?
"Threads is deepening its ties to the fediverse, also known as the open social web, which powers services like X alternative Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube, Flipboard and other apps. On Wednesday, Meta announced that users on Threads will be able to see fediverse replies on other posts besides their own. In addition, posts that originated through the Threads API, like those created via third-party apps and scheduling services, will now be syndicated to the fediverse. The latter had previously been announced via an in-app message informing users that API posts would be shared to the fediverse starting on August 28."
Zuckerberg said senior Biden administration officials "repeatedly pressured" Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, to "censor" content in 2021. "I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken," he wrote to House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio). "Like I said to our teams at the time, I feel strongly that we should not compromise our content standards due to pressure from any Administration in either direction -- and we're ready to push back if something like this happens again," Zuckerberg added.

Can you recommend lifetime access courses in offline too instead of subscription?
I'm tired of this model, where you just wanna have access to one single course with offline mode and they offer 1-month subscription for all of them. Who has time to check them all?

I have added 2 Steam and 1 GOG game libraries to my HLTB account. Then I have categorized the games based on completion/pad controller usage etc. Afterwards due to long backlog of games I have sorted the list by main story completion time from the shortest and began playing one by one. Of course not all are worthy/interesting enough to finish, but most are. Having the list and the goal of going through these titles let me focus what I already have instead of grabbing another title, which will stay in library for the next months or years. Also you wont have to worry about new releases, because you have already something to finish with certain goal in mind, will effortlessly wait until the price drops significantly with nice cut, all dlcs, packed in Limited/Definitive/GOTY edition.

Still, you were lucky that your colleagues are aware of alternatives and will use it (I hope). I wonder though if people will migrate because of you. Its tough to encourage others to communicate Signal while majority use Messenger or Whatsapp. Their reasoning for that is the most friends and family member are on mainstream solutions.
Signal is an interim solution imo for most people, which I also recommend. Not too extreme, not to "geeky", which introduces them to alternative app world.

Piped is an alternative frontend for Youtube (similar to Invidious). Over the months I have created multiple playlists with music mainly. My question is how to diversify/backup Piped playlist/subscriptions in case my account was shutted down. It happened in the past when I had Invidious account on yewtu.be instance. Am I supposed to get playlist as .txt file and download content via provided links in youtube-dl or is the re a way to import the playlist somewhere else like other Invidious/Piped instance etc.

Fun DJ enjoying the moment with audience. Nice mix.
The Chinese government has in recent years established many concentration camps in Xinjiang, or in their term, “vocational re-education and training centers”, for imprisoning local ethnic minorities and dissidents. Unlike regular imprisonment or detention, people are held here without any prior court trial The period of their imprisonment is no longer determined by courts but becomes endless.
