In a week I'll be at Confuzzled! If ya see me:
- Ask for hugs!
- Take photos/videos! (For best results tell me which you're doing)
- Understand that my vision and hearing in suit are TERRIBLE so I am not ignoring you! Try a gentle shoulder touch.
- Be respectful. (If you have any uncertainty about what this means, please immediately re-attend the 'my first con' and 'fursuiting 101' panels).

What capitalist industry and commerce has done just in the last three decades, pumping nearly a *trillion* tons of CO₂ into the air, has no precedent.
Never before in Earth’s history has so much carbon dioxide been added to the atmosphere over such a short period of time.
HEADLINE: Chemical analysis of natural CO₂ rise over the last 50,000 years shows that today's rate is 10 times faster
_____________________________
"The rate of CO₂ change today really is unprecedented," said Kathleen Wendt, assistant professor in Oregon State University's College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences. "Our research identified the fastest rates of past natural CO₂ rise ever observed, and the rate occurring today, largely driven by human emissions, is 10 times higher."
During the largest of the natural rises, carbon dioxide increased by about 14 parts per million in 55 years. The jumps occurred about once every 7,000 years or so. At today's rates, that magnitude of increase takes only 5 to 6 years.
_____________________________
Never in the whole history of Earth has so much CO₂ been poured into the atmosphere in such a short time.
Our rulers are literally conducting an insanely dangerous experiment, making it impossible for anyone to say with any certainty what will happen next. No one knows, because nothing like this has ever been done before.

Slack is now using all content, including DMs, to train LLMs.
They offer a thing they're calling an "opt-out."
The opt-out (a) is only available to companies who are slack customers, not end users, and (b) doesn't actually opt-out.
When a company account holder tries to opt-out, Slack says their data will still be used to train LLMs, but the results won't be shared with other companies.
LOL no. That's not an opt-out. The way to opt-out is to stop using Slack.

I've been playing Mau-Mau with this tanuki for a while now. I think he's cheating.

Climate scientists predict a bleak future due to insufficient action on climate change. They're frustrated with political and corporate interference, emphasizing the urgent need for global cooperation.
Some scientists have dedicated their lives to studying #ClimateChange. Despite the frustration and despair, they are determined to continue advocating for urgent action.
The message is clear: it's time to act before it's too late.

Getting ready for that perfect throw for the #FursuitFriday. Or who am I kidding, I couldn't bowl for the fluff of me!
Beware of people who divide everything into 'positive' or 'negative' with no middle ground. A serious or critical conversation may not be -fun-, but that doesn't make it inherently negative either.
When I receive positive critique like 'I really enjoyed that!', it's good for my ego, but it doesn't help me improve.
@purple The last time I used xmpp was when I was a cloud architect for Palm. I built the automation architecture for the WebOS backend services, and I used xmpp as the message bus. Every machine had an agent, and thus an address, that could receive commands. Being xmpp, it was fast, robust, and delivery-assured.
My team proposed releasing it as open source, but HP (who bought us) didn't want us to do it at the time.
@darkphoenix @sekka I've been happy with Signal on the desktop...
The only problem with it is search, which is a problem on mobile too.
Threat models matter.
When a platform/service/app tells you they are “private” or “secure” always ask “from whom?”
Criminals, domestic abusers, law enforcement, data brokers, and intelligence agencies are all different attackers with very different capabilities.
"Back off! Why don't we see how you like it, huh?"
(Finally back home, and also I finally wrapped up a self-indulgent piñata pic for #TransforMAYtion~ As stressful as it is, I think I'd like to do more of this.)
