It's secure messaging for the average joe. Organizations can achieve this compliance with an MDM, but I'm not asking Grandma to install my MDM on her phone to see my Wordle results. And sharing your device list (plus, you'd likely need ip location for this feature to be useful, in addition to interrogating your friends about what devices they use) with any random person you're messaging is arguably more of a security threat than the risk of some moron linking any random device that asks to be linked.

LMAO this is soooo true. Recently went on a hiking trip at a national park where there were lines to get into the parking lot, but as soon as you stepped off the paved trail the crowd went down 90%, and a short walk later and we were the only ones in the whole park.

The other glaring weakness is that if you invite Putin to your group chat, Russia gets access to all of your messages!! /s (though, I guess it's a real threat with this administration)

The housing market almost doubled prices during COVID. I don't think it's unexpected that prices would settle down and readjust in the years following.

1.7% YOY decrease is a bubble popping?

Phone is the mind-killer. Phone is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my TV.

Hell, I'll vote for my state to join just about any country with a functioning healthcare system.

The other things are unimaginably terrible, so he has to make really really loud noise to distract.

As an American, I'd much rather the US become the 11th province. Every Canadian is issued their own Moose and hockey stick, right? Sign me up!

Anyone that wants to scrape Lemmy would have an easier time setting up their own server, federating with everyone, and reading straight from their DB. No web scraping required. Though, web scraping defenses would be useful against general web scrapers/crawlers.

Looking to pick up a self cleaning litterbox but there are a lot of options. The coolest one I've seen by far is the CatGenie Automatic Cat Box, but it's nearly $500 and seems a little overkill.

I've also seen that the PetSafe Litterbox is a very popular choice, but it uses proprietary litter refills and crystal litter when I'd prefer clay litter.

I've been getting away with a $15 do-it-yourself litterbox just fine for a while, but I think I (and my cat) would appreciate something that doesn't require daily maintenance. Something as simple as an automatic rake would be interesting.

My main goals are:

  1. Requires as little maintenance as possible while keeping my cat happy and the smell under control
  2. No proprietary lock-in (I can use my own litter)
  3. Doesn't break the bank
  4. Built well, won't break / easy to fix / good warranty / cheap enough that I can just buy a new one if it breaks

While I am looking for budget friendly options, I'm also curious on the more expensive options. I can't imagine what justifies spending $700 on a Litter-Robot when emptying a litterbox manually isn't that bad and the CatGenie is $500 and promises zero-maintenance. Have you had good luck with premium options like that?
