What I don’t get is that if you want to get your cat outdoors time, you can do it supervised on a leash; I’m doing it with one of my cats (other one isn’t interested) and only on our deck. He gets to sniff and enjoy some sun and stare some birds down maybe and then he wants to go inside anyway.

What's funny to me is that my 1998 Sony Walkman (WM-EX9) is lighter and smaller than the iPhone Duo and has ~100 hour battery life And yes, that's comparing apples to ウォークマン ("Duoman" app demo via mastodon.social/@Viditb/1173...)

I hate these bullshit engagement accounts so much. It's not only that they post horribad AI imagery, they also just lie about shit to get clicks. There's hundreds of millions of floppy drives around. You can buy them new on Amazon for $15.
