To be fair, they started developing symptoms much later then when we took care of them. But yeah, we had a lot of cats in the years, 90% of them were strays (or in this case, one of them was actually kicked of their house and spent some years outside) that self-tamed over time lol.

We had two stray cats, one was confirmed FIV+, the other not, they didn’t really get any recurring infection, but they both started having the same neurological symptoms: they lost control of their back legs and sphincters, had trouble walking straight and cleaning themselves so we had to do it.
I don’t know if this is a regular outcome of FIV, or if it’s even related at all, but you might want to look for gradual problems with walking and balance. Not much you can do unfortunately, but what I can tell you is they don’t get any less loving, actually, they probably get more. His last days one of the strays went from barely staying close to a human unless being fed, to purr, pets and constant headbutts.
Good luck with your little fella, glad he could find a caring home.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Trying to dualboot Linux Mint + Windows on a second external hard drive but Windows Setup doesn't let me install on the disk...English
16·2 months agoThat’s not the problem though. Even if you have no other OS installed, windows still refuses to install on external HDDs.
Totally worth it
That’s one chonky little angel.
I’m guessing it’s fluffier than anything I’ve ever touched.

2·2 months agoThank you for your love. Glad he could warm your week :) he surely made a lot of people happier.
I’m doing ok. Loosing a furry friend is tough, but (unfortunately) I lost many in my years so I can deal with it. The only bad things about pets is that they always leave too soon.

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Guys, what's the best Linux distro to install on my PC?
2·2 months agobut LMDE especially will be subject to dealing with older software
Are you sure about this? As far as I know, debian modernized their repos quite a bit even compared to ubuntu, that also sparked some controversy from debian long time fans especially because they wanted more dated, stable software. Never used LMDE though, so I’m not sure if it applies

Technology@lemmy.world•The Console That Wasn’t: How the Commodore 64 Outsold Game ConsolesEnglish
42·2 months agoUnfortunately, that is not really possible.
The UEFI standard, a pdf that describes in detail the unified system that all motherbpards use during the boot process, is 1200+ pages long. And that’s only one of the many subsystems in a modern system (that gigantic pdf tells you nothinf about PCI, about ACPI and usb, nor any other hardware peripheral). Also, since you are talking about a modern system, you also would need kernel, drivers and operating system calls documentation. All of these exist (for an open source OS like linux, and if you follow the aforementioned standards), but bundling them in a book, and keeping them uodated, would be just impossible.

37·2 months agoThank you ❤️. He came to our home more than 5 years ago, already adult. He was most likely a house cat that was left on the street for some reason: in realively good health, but a little skinnier, neutered, but not chipped and every human he encountered he would ask for pets, even complete strangers. For some reason he licked and playfully bite like dogs when petting him.
Once we found him in front of the train station, he was just sitting there taking pets from random commuters coming in and out of the station. He was really precious and a bit needy of love, we gave him all we could.

I wonder why apt search on ubuntu and debian must be so bad: on mint each package has a single line and an easy letter telling you if the program is installed or not. On debian/ubuntu each program takes multiple lines, are all green and the only way to distinguish installed ones is to look for an (installed) string at the end of the first line. I like Mint’s apt version so much

I don’t think such stricts definitions really apply to humans.
