this is more ethical than me telling my kid brother that he had to be quiet whilst the BBC Model B loaded games from cassette tape, otherwise it could cause it to fail ๐Ÿ˜…

Oh, so it's finally voting day in the USA. Please, American friends, make sure you vote if you haven't already. It'll be lovely to have the endless campaigning over and done with. (As long as it's not the orange berk who ends up winning.)

Sure. I'm just surprised to see it is all. Happy, but surprised.
@xoagray Same. I suspect FurryMUCK won't follow their lead.
Xoa Gray mastodon (AP)
No idea, I don't know anything about the politics of the people running the MUCKs.
@xoagray For me, that's part of the problem.

@xoagray When outlawing furries and pornography is on the table, more of the weird internet needs to take a stand for sure.

Though the Trump votes on FM seem to have weakened in position considerably as of late. So they claim, who knows how they'll actually vote.

Xoa Gray mastodon (AP)
@janusfox Hmm, I havenโ€™t actually run into anyone on there thatโ€™s mentioned being a trump voter. For that matter I canโ€™t remember the last time politics came up. Maybe itโ€™s just whom I hang out with, but most of what Iโ€™ve heard has been just typical furry chatter or nerdy stuff. (Which is also arguably furry chatter I suppose.)
@xoagray @janusfox I'd rather politics -did- come up at this point. Trump represents an existential threat to so many things I hold dear that when a venue I frequent is silent about it, I am left with questions.
janusfox ๐Ÿ… mastodon (AP)
@xoagray The issue we have when politics do come up is that the extremists/nutjobs swiftly take over the conversation and clear the room heh.
@janusfox @xoagray That's why I am okay with the admins of Taps taking a position while explicitly saying 'this isn't an opening for a dialogue'.

"software/hardware from china cannot be trusted because those who made it have to do whatever the ccp orders them to"

because everyone knows china is the only country in the world with the law of "if the government tells a company/person to do something, like making backdoors and spyware, they have to", and btw every single developer/engineer/game creator from there has been personally told to make their creation a spying device /s

Seems above-ground non-rail public transport is royally screwed in London today. I waited probably over half an hour in the cold at Vauxhall bus station for a 10-minutely service. When it arrived the driver said the demonstration (pro-Palestine, I think) blocking the streets meant he was unlikely to make it far. So I walked the 20 minutes to Oval and got the tube. Reached the London furmeet just as the fursuit walk departed, oops. Maybe I should have gone with it, there's no one I know here, as far as I can tell. *sigh*

Feels like Twitter was the frog in boiling pot of water syndrome, it finally got hot enough for folks to jump into a new lukewarm pot (bsky). All the while there is a lilly pad (fedi) safely away from everything that folks just keep finding excuses not to go to...

For moral and political reason I'm glad when folks leave Twitter at least.

Though, apparently sometimes it does work. I know @Scatterplot has been working in the issue ๐Ÿ’š
Thumper mastodon (AP)
@twigmouse @Scatterplot I haven't hit that yet, only size limits, but I think I can change that since it's my server, just haven't looked.

โ€œWhy don't you like BlueSky?"

Twitter taught me something. Any "For Profit" company is going to be a slave to its need for growth, its investors, and corporate greed.

BlueSky says โ€œWe don't want to be like thatโ€. but they're also a for profit company that is going to end up a slave to their investors and their greed just like any other for profit company.

I don't feel like establishing myself there, just to have it all come apart in a few years like Twitter did. Because that's inevitable.

kieran mastodon (AP)
exactly my feelings too.
Paperisiili mastodon (AP)

I don't like for profit companies either, but I think there's a big difference between generic corporate greed and what Twitter has become. It's not even going for profit anymore, just hate and influence.

I wish everyone would come to Mastodon, it's my favorite place, but I'll settle for tempting them to move to Bluesky if that's more realistic. Anything to get away from the dead bird site.

The doctor peeked into the workshop. "Is anyone-"

"Me," the mechanic grunted.

"It's late, we-"

"Busy."

The doctor looked at the crushed droid on the workbench. "With that?"

"There's still a spark!"

"So?"

"Never took an oath like you, but it's a sentient being!"

"Oh! Can I help?"

My Halloween: my sisters acquired a cute inflatable monster and a reflective witch picture for me to stick on the front of my house, and I acquired a bowl of sweets to leave out. My parents and I then visited my sisters for the afternoon/evening and when we got back about โ…” of the sweets had gone! By my calculations that means at least 20 people took one. (Or more likely fewer people took multiple ones. ๐Ÿ˜›) And it didn't look like any local wildlife had had a go at them either, so that was good.

I went for a little spidey-walk too. Saw a few decorated houses, said happy halloween to a few people. ๐Ÿ™‚

** I stopped posting new stories to X/Twitter last autumn, but have kept my account, and the thousands of stories I have written since 2013 are still available.

That will soon end. In the next couple of weeks, I'll try to upload my archive to the Internet Archive, then delete all my stories from X/Twitter.

If you know someone who only follows me there, please help them follow me elsewhere.

I'm not sure if you have presence on Bluesky, but if so there is apparently a (paid) service now that will import your entire archive from Twitter, I think with correct dates and everything. I don't know of one for mastodon, unfortunately.

I wish the EU would actually do something usefulโ€”like fight the rise of fascism, or ensure basic human rights, for exampleโ€” rather than just trying to bureaucratize the internet with inane, obnoxious regulations that benefit nobody and make everything worse.

Fine, but the medical field might have to be an exception, I mean who'd want re-cycled syringes, catheters, hip implants, IV fluid bags...etc?

I am old enough to remember televisions with cathode ray tubes. They were a nuisance, they took a while to heat up and start displaying an image. Then we got TFT televisions and they were great. You pressed the power button and bam! they were on and working.

Then some moron invented 'smart' TVs and now the TV takes longer to boot up and play moronic animations for all the unwanted software than it took the CRT TV to warm up. And the CRT set didn't spy on you.

This is not progress.

@mkj @kaaswe I could not agree more! My next car will be a classic of some sort but I am glad to see the EU legislating to mandate physical controls.

Now to get them to mandate separation of C&C networks from entertainment networks. Segregation of smart charging from everything else. Proper privacy controls.....

1
TundraWolf mastodon (AP)
@mkj @kaaswe Actually thinking about this, I could not believe how upset the sales people became when I questioned things like software development standards for cars, why the car cost approximately 10% of the price of the safety critical computers we use at work but had many more variables to handle and so on.

It looks like I'll be back at MFF this year for the first time since 2018. Not sure when Iโ€™ll be back again after this year, but thanks to my best friend I have a room and figured Iโ€™d give it a shot.

The reality is that the con is massively larger since I last went, and it was difficult to hang with anyone then. So my expectations are not particularly high when it comes to seeing anyone I really want to see.

But I will make my best effort, and if you want to see me, please let me know.

I got myself out of the house and went to the Berkshirefurs meet yesterday. Took a Spidey suit with me and got a bit of spider-time in. Not that I knew many people there, just couple of the organisers (and one person I know from the kink sceneโ€ฆ) (There were a lot more people there than the photos suggest, but I tried to pick shots without anyone recognisable in the background as it's not practical to ask incidental background people for permission.)
