the console modding process should teach you why you should always keep your OS and web browser up to date... given the process for PS3, Wii U, Vita, PS4 etc is just going to a webpage in the browser and getting full kernel access
imagine that but on your computer or your phone
So glad I am not the only Fur that is super pumped for this! I can't wait to get back to my desk and start a new save ^^
Also, your suit is wonderful. I find those with Feline Sonas tend to be the best when it comes to cute poses 
@TrashyFur Yus! I've been really enjoying it a ton! ADA certainly has gotten quite sassy! X3
And thank you so much - appreciate it! โค
You ever just lie back and marvel at the internet? Think about the massive scale of the infrastructure, the thousands of kms of undersea cable stringing together a World-Wide Web built on hundreds of years of electrical knowledge. Transistors too small to see, to tonnes of copper and fibre too long to comprehend.
All so I can watch '[Furry ASMR] Petting Hyena Boyfriend To Sleep'
This is actually the OPPOSITE of doomposting but:
Don't let Cohost make you think that better things aren't possible online. Cohost actually had a better conversion rate than most websites by FAR. People WERE in fact willing to pay for a site that doesn't try to trick them into watching ads or engaging for clicks. They just had a poor business plan. But I've seen posts like "guess nobody's willing to pay to not be the product..." and that's not what happened here at all, people were in fact willing to pay, heck some people were buying extra subscriptions (which functionally did nothing) just to pay MORE.
Dear tech bros,
As someone who craves routine & will happily stick with a product they like forever as long as it doesnโt change much, please quit fucking with stuff.
Iโm sick of being pushed from browser to browser, app to app because companies keep being dickheads.
Stop being dickheads.
Stop inserting ads and preventing me from blocking that shit.
Stop pumping โAIโ into products when nobody wants it.
I will be the most loyal user if youโd just stop fucking with stuff.
A coworker of mine years ago once said of James Earl Jonesโs voice, โWhen he says โThisโฆis CNN,โ you think to yourself, โOh my GOD, it is, why did I never think about that??!?โ
Thereโs something I want you to about James Earl Jones: he was a person who stuttered.
1/
This is James Earl frigging Jones. โขTheโข voice. Stuttered. His whole life. Poetry and acting helped him speak.
We judge people impulsively and โขincrediblyโข harshly by how they speak: a stutter, an accent, a dialect, how they make a certain sound, how they sound.
In honor of James Earl Jones, letโs all just try to find that judgement within ourselves, grab it with both hands, and yank it out. I know Iโll try.
/end
P.S. Some quick advice if youโre talking to a person who stutters:
Relax. Be patient. Donโt rush them. Donโt be anxious for them. Donโt โhelpโ them by completing their word for them. (Itโs NOT helpful!) If a stutter starts, let them find their own way through it. Chill. Youโre good. Itโs all good. Show them youโre listening and attentive, and you donโt mind them taking the time they need. Give them your patience, your attention, and your acceptance.
this is one of the reasons I started asking "when someone new joins the team how many weeks does it typically take them to get up to speed with it?", rather than "how many LoC?"
even when the answers are inaccurate, they are illuminating.
I said it before and I'll say it again:
"AI model learns, therefore it is intelligent" is like saying "computer programs run, therefore they have legs."
Metaphors like "program runs" or "model learns" are useful, but are just that: metaphors.
Drawing conclusions on their basis is folly.
Keep that in mind next time AI-hypers try to draw equivalences between a child going to a museum and then making their own art, and a LLM gobbling up terabytes of text and then generating word salad.

The final straw was in whatever stupid mode it got itself into, we could not even FORCE the boiler to make hot water, by pushing what is meant to be a manual override button. And my wife wanted to go for a shower.
So, that's the end of that shitty chapter. I'm glad that at least it wasn't a long chapter.
Disrecommend Hive.
If you move into a new house, don't try and fucking take over an old system. Rip it out.
Remember when programmer timers... didn't require and app, which required an email address, mobile number, etc etc etc? Remember those days?
This ordeal started with "hmm I really should figure out the hot water scheduling, as, frankly, it hasn't been reliable and we've been using boost a lot".
And ended with, "this is unusable trash".
Genuinely may temporarily put this in its place :
I bought an even simpler one, works brilliantly even with no internet.
I had a similar experience with a hive. Plus i didn't trust upnp to something I have zero control over.
Found a channel full of vintage computing furries, invite someone I know there that works at the local particle accelerator because he has access to some cool, old tech. Fairly niche. A discussion starts in the channel only for another furry who works at a particle accelerator across the country to begin sharing their work, too.
The fandom is amazing.
Hey remember what I was saying about how Cohost was going to announce they were closing and only THEN start work on export tools for people's posts, which I guarantee they will not do because as of today they're already no longer paying themselves, and there's no way they're going to work on the site that hard when they find other jobs?
Yeah, this is just the start of the ride. Keep watching what happens from here.
๐ช We've been on Mastodon for many years, but I'm gonna go ahead and post this old Xenia drawing anyways, in case any of our followers from Cohost are checking these tags

Have you *any fucking idea* how *utterly impossible* it is for me as a 60+ year/old to follow your *fuckingly stupid animated gif crap documentation video* which wizzes by at an speed impossible to follow for anybody over the age of 8?
Why can't you bloodywell give us a chance and *write a few fucking sentences*?!?!!
Actually, what I wanted to say was "no, thanks, I won't use your project. Have a lovely day."
