Selene and Melee walk paw in paw through Gas Works Park. In this moment, it feels like the world belongs only to them, just the sunset, that special place, and the connection they share. Everything else fades away.

Thank you!
it's kinda funny to learn that plymouth - the program that all it does is display a fancy boot animation - not just has support for scripting boot animations, but that is uses its own bespoke domain specific scripting language

Had a truly wonderful time at #FC2025! Thank you to the hundreds of VOLUNTEER staff and leaders who gave so much of their time, energy and mental and emotional capacity to give all us attendees this gift.

So Much Cute.
(And this reminds me I'm almost physically aching for a fursuit these days but I don't know when I'll have the chance to have one. A proper one that is, not the ancient broken-down old uncomfortable thing I got in the early 2000s which is still all I have, but despite all that, still love.)

Smaug's arrogance and intellect made him a whole new kind of dragon in the literary landscape of 1937, when The Hobbit was first published. Smaug exemplified a feature common to dragons in Middle-earth - the guarding and hoarding of wealth.

Good article.
Our visual cortex does a *lot* of guessing and throwing away of stuff before our consciousness sees an "image". I like reminding people that optical illusions work because our visual cortex guesses wrong and can't correct itself.
I see Siddiq Khan is floating further tightening of the OSA's powers to censor "harmful content"* in order to fight the rising tide of fascism.
How about us progressives start doing our fucking job, and making people's lives less precarious and shit as a way to fight fascism? How about that?
* rather nebulous phrase isn't it? That's deliberate!
This afternoon I wanted to show someone the moiré pattern you get if you draw lines on a pixel grid from a single origin point to every point on a line some distance away. Those were a favourite toy program on 8-bit micros.
[Edit, the next day: I forgot to mention the *main* point! The lines are drawn in XOR mode, so that each line is drawn by inverting its pixels rather than just setting them all to black, creating an interference pattern.]
I could surely have figured out how to draw this kind of thing in a modern graphics system, but I _knew_ I could remember how to do it on a #ZXSpectrum, so I just fired up FUSE and did it the way I'd have done it in the 1980s.
… I guess this is worth tagging #Genuary, in a retro-nostalgia sort of way?

"I don't care about data collection, I'm not a criminal.”
Nothing to hide, okay. What kind of underwear are you wearing?
"What?”
Who was the last person you had sex with?
"That's none of your business!"
What's your credit card number? Driver's license? Banking info?
“Fuck off!”
Do you see why privacy matters now? None of those things are criminal, but you don't want them made public right?

Take all the time you need. I'll be here.
I find it interesting how, when I (e.g.) yawn while listening to music, I get a kind of pitch-bend effect. Reminds me how ears and nervous systems and things work, and that they really don't present reality to your consciousness the way you might expect if you're used to computers and other human-designed technology, but do a lot of preprocessing and, well, Weird Stuff™ to give your brain something that natural selection thinks will be the best interpretation of reality to keep you alive and reproducing.
Having grown up with tape as the main method of audio storage and reproduction it feels weird to have the pitch change without the speed changing too, but it reminds me that it's actually all about the little hairs inside the cochlear, and how vibrations propagate through the fluid and which hairs each incoming sound frequency ends up stimulating. Squish things around by yawning and the link between specific frequencies and specific hairs changes.
It reminds me of other things that show just how weird bodies and minds are, such as the stopped clock illusion. Your brain literally makes up stuff to keep you from realising how bad your senses are at their job. It's all so astonishingly messed up.

also, "converting" these emotions into actionable items is a lot of fucking mental effort. some of us genuinely do not have the mental fortitude to do this with every emotion and need to sit down and process what our bodies throw at us.
really tired of neurotypical people imposing their judgement on folks trying to survive.

sometimes I think it's ND folks who are genuinely disconnected from that as well.
It also feels like the whole thing is a perversion or twisting of the "If you are privileged, the despair isn't for you" kind of thing. IE, white cis gay guys getting upset, and only upset (IE talking about end of the world, moving out of the country, self harm, etc) at trans black women being attacked by power. Triply so if it's white cis straight guys.
Like, I'll eventually be attacked once other 'boogymen' outgroups are done with but not until then, and I need to do something in the meantime as someone who IS privileged, and use his privilege to help in some way _instead_ of merely despairing.
Like yeah it's okay for me to feel bad and empathetic to those I care about for their despair, but they aren't privileged for feeling it; I should be redirecting it because I'm privileged.
To say otherwise, to say that despair isn't allowed, is basically militant bullshit that comes off kind of tankie.
