The “don’t step on me” people who talk about the right to bear arms often celebrate the police and the military

I think this is directed at the right

Ah okay so you have multiple servers. With only one central server stuff is pretty easy

The GAP is that great grandma has to log in/out between servers to find content that may or may not be on an individual server

What does this mean? I just have one Jellyfin server I put stuff on

If anything above fails… you’re likely on the hook for support. Hope you plan for that!

It’s a self-hosted service so… Duh?

Flatpaks really aren’t for terminal stuff, it at least wasn’t the intention

Give the address of the server and login info

Give them the address of the server?

Incorrect.

Name checks out

I mean it’s fairly straightforward when considering if “uncontrolled outdoor access” has dangers and harms to the cats

Uncontrolled outdoor access allows these natural behaviors, but it also poses a number of significant health and welfare risks, and the overall benefits of the performance of these behaviors is unknown.

But if you’re not willing to take their word for it, there’s other people talking about those dangers too

https://stories.tamu.edu/news/2023/10/19/how-free-roaming-cats-impact-wildlife-disease-transmission/

And so on and so on.

Replying to singular lines or small parts of comments makes the whole comment a disjointed mess. If you aren’t even willing to accept the multitude of studies and animal welfare organisations saying there’s an (obvious) increased risk from unsupervised roaming, then there’s nothing much to go on from here. If you feel there’s more positives and can support that with studies, I’d be interested to see that. If it’s just your emotional take, I understand that, but it’s just not very responsible way to handle a pet.

If you read the conclusion it does say it would be better to keep your cats indoors because of all the associated risks. You just seem to be in denial about the whole thing and I don’t blame you, it’s a really emotional topic for some reason.

I mean study after study gives the obvious conclusion that of course it comes with increased risk and of course you wouldn’t be there to help them, it’s unsupervised and unrestricted roaming, so duh. And of course it negatively affects the surrounding wildlife, you’re introducing lots of cats to places that had a lot less if any cats.

But there’s such a strong emotional aspect to it that I just can’t understand that makes people pretend stupid or just refuse to accept the obvious conclusion.

The study mentions that risk factors of outdoor keeping vary by location. There is no mention of historic risk and therefore no assessment how these may have evolved.

You really need a study to say to you that thousands of years ago cars weren’t as much of a risk?

With the open kernel modules you don’t have to do that anymore

Well you might have heard of cars, highways and other such human created things that haven’t existed during all that time.

Here’s one study where they examined the welfare concerns over unrestricted/unsupervised outdoor access (and other concerns). https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7070728/#sec5-animals-10-00258

Also how are you mitigating the risk of “such dangers” for pets and children?

I wouldn’t allow a cat or a small child to roam around unrestricted. It just seems due to the inherent threats pretty irresponsible.

And they’ve been dying in some horrific ways during that time. Now there’s also a lot of extra, human caused dangers. A responsible pet owner wouldn’t subject their pet to such dangers.

Letting it roam freely risks it getting hurt and without you being there to help it. It’s not very responsible.

Don’t get get a cat if you live in an area that can’t accommodate them

What is an area that can accommodate pet cats lol

It’s usually that way for a reason, is my thinking
