Annoyment. I got a notification overnight that the next chapter of my favourite fanfic is out, and went to take a look. I found the tab I already had open on my phone, which was a few chapters earlier, and scrolled through, reminding myself what happened previously. Made it just a chapter away from the new one and then… bam. AO3 is down for maintenance for the next 6 hours. Grr. I was looking forward to having a new chapter to read while I wait at the hospital today. If I'd tapped through to the new chapter immediately I'd have had it loaded and ready to read whenever I was ready. Oh well.

if the federal bitcoin reserve thing happens, my ultimate crypto dream coming true would be even funnier:

satoshi reappears with part 2 of their paper which entirely unpicks the math underpinning everything. anybody can spend from any wallet. suddenly all these people are sat there holding fistfuls of worthless space cash (I mean, they are already, but still)

Reminding myself that it's another four years of never opening a conversation with my American friends with 'how are you doing?'
It's kind of just assumed. And if it's bad enough that one of us needs to talk about it we just will. Otherwise no one wants to be reminded.

how do conversations get started?

I'm an american and I still start out with that and it's exhausting.

@colinstu honestly no idea. Sometimes just quiet knowing hugs.

@Fozzaroo, there's a camera over there...

What should we do?

Quick... Strike a pose! X3

Had the good fortune of meeting a new bunny friend at FC! While I have plenty of experience being a spotter/translator for silent suits, it was a first for me to take that role while I was in fursuit myself! Much shenanigans ensued, much joy was had :)

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.

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

talk about over engineered

If you script identifying and firewalling #AI scrapers, you get graphs like these on your hosting servers.

How do you identify those scrapers ?
Mythic Beasts mastodon (AP)
@lord it's a mix of techniques including networks, user agents, content requests and so on. We don't want to detail it exactly just in case #AI s read this toot and learn to adapt.

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.

The emphasis on Volunteer was very intentional. For those unfamiliar or new to the fandom, these cons for Furries are BY Furries. Con Chair to badge checker, all are Furries, just like you. Don't treat con staff like they owe you something. Show them your gratitude for doing their best for you.

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.)

Something that might be a good idea for the future; collect email addresses from all your friends and add them to your address book and then make sure that's backed up regularly.
Also let your friends know if you change your email address.
I haven't done this in a long time but it's something I am going to start doing again.

Does that description ring a bell?

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.

Kinda giving dragons a bad name, which I think is undeserved. True some dragons are assholes, but that could also be said of elves and dwarves. Besides, Billionaires don’t need an allegory. They just need a #minisub.

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!
