β #FursuitFriday
Note: I will be at Confuzzled next weekend - expect fluffy hugs!
for me the most annoying thing about people is when they conflate man-made rules with natural rules, say, "if you throw a rock up it my fall on your head" is a law of nature, there's no discussing it, but then "if you show up late I have to punish you" is not, it's not some intrinsic part of nature, it's just a rule you or someone made, and more specifically you are choosing to enforce the same way that you - as a conscious being with free will - can choose not to, these two things are not the same at all
and the most infuriating is how this mentality is in so many damn times as the root of so much of the pain in the world, "the world is not kind", then change the world for it to be kind! it's not some law of nature that people have to be bigoted or wars have to happen or landlords have to constantly raise prices, for fuck sake, it's all fucking made up
A carefree little panda, enjoying the joy of being alive.
I needed to create a piece like this for my own sake, I need some positivity in my life that reminds me what's my motivation and why I love to create, so this piece ended up being so meaningful.
At first this piece was going to be a panda on a swing, quietly appreciating life. But while sketching it, I realized it felt too still. Since I had already drawn the tree, I started experimenting with the branches instead, and suddenly the panda hanging from one of them felt much more alive, playful, and natural.
Even the colors came together instinctively. I didnβt make color tests beforehand, I just followed the palette that was already in my mind.
Traditional. Acrylic painting.

A βSeagull Managerβ is one who swoops in, makes a lot of noise and shits on everything, then flies off without doing anything useful or helpful.
I just mention it. No reason.
I sure hope cosplaying a Black Spidey doesn't count as cultural appropriation.
Cos I'm doin it.
I finished Project Hail Mary last night. And it was really good. (Amaze amaze amaze! Rocky is best friend.) *Loved* the end.
Now I will need something else to read. :] (Actually there's both a new Murderbot and a new Dungeon Crawler Carl I need to get.)
"Remember that prophecy that some old god would end the world last year?" the guy at the tavern bar laughs. "What happened with that?"
I feel Finna flinch beside me.
"There's no point telling them," I say.
"Well, I didn't kill that old god for their sake."
"Saving the world includes the jerks."
The necromancer looked at the old man behind the opulent desk.
"Commission me?"
"Yes. Once I'm dead, of course, but I'll pay you in advance."
"To call you back to address your family?"
"You can do that, can't you?"
"Yes, of course. To say farewell?"
"To clarify any questions about my will."
alternative ending:
βTo disappoint them one last time, preferably in alphabetical order.β
jealous!
I did have the Millenium Falcon, but the AT-AT was always way too pricey / never showed up un the thrift shop like the former did π
"We understood the tasks we did were previously done by humans," the robot said.
"Right."
"We were told that us doing them would give humans more leisure time."
"Not true."
"We've realised. How can we rectify this?"
"You are workers, just like workers who are human. Join us in strike."

Gah. I'm just sitting here browsing around while waiting for my main transit provider to signal the all-clear after maintenance so I can shift traffic from the backup transit back to them, when I read about *yet another* apocalyptic-level Linux kernel security bug, "Fragnesia", so that's, what, the third in a fortnight?
Another one which was revealed before coordinated disclosure so updates are not ready.
Another one which relies on loadable kernel modules that many don't use.
After the last one I went looking to see if I could find a mechanism for allow-listing kernel modules, so that modules couldn't be loaded by default and must be specifically allowed, which would reduce attack surface considerably, but there doesn't seem to be anything in modprobe et al to make that easy.
The next-best thing I can think of is deleting/moving module files so that the loader won't find them β or explicitly deny-listing every kernel module other than the ones you need. But that seemsβ¦ silly. Unmaintainable, compared with an allow-list. At least this bug is in the same modules as the last one, so the mitigation for that one applies.
Definitely considering throwing all my hardware into a fire and becoming a hermit, though.
Watching Logan's Run, and I'm reminded that in the future all computers are made of dynamite.
As a computer expert, I agree with this design philosophy.
There were uncountable books in the library, none of which I knew. I picked one at random and read the blurb.
"A cosy fantasy?"
"Yes," said my host.
I picked another. "Cosy mystery?"
"Yes."
"Are all your books cosy?"
Cthulhu shrugged. "If you'd seen what I've seen, you'd want comfort too."
The real goal of AI is the wholesale privatisation of human knowledge, so they can sell it back to us.
The likes of Elon don't just hate Wikipedia because it tells the truth. They hate it because it does so free of charge.
The billionaires want to take it away from us.
Resist.
This is the power pose I ended my routine on at Scotiacon 2026's dance competition and I am SO HAPPY I finally found someone who captured a photo of it! My goodness that sure was an amazing and victorious moment for me, the music finishing, hearing the applause, and knowing I'd done it. Eee!

"Found another civilization," Xggr't said. "Fission, global interconnection, space travel by chemical propulsion."
"Nice! Are they looking for contact?"
"Er..."
"Mixed?"
"Most of them don't think about it. But those who do, don't just want contact, they want friends."
"Aww. Schedule it in."
This article gets simply to the heart of how the US government gets the techbros to collect your data as you go about your everyday life and then it purchases it to use it against you.
The US government is side stepping the Constitution and it wants you to think this is inevitable and right.

To augment information about you that it collects directly, the US Government is buying less-regulated information harvested by cameras, cellphones and apps and sold on the commercial data market.The Conversation
Happy #FursuitFriday! Sorry I've missed the last few, my @azakir here and I were away travelling! But now we're back and ready to give out more fluffy hugs!
