really exciting to see more people trying out this method. I really want to give it a shot for the next fursuit head I build. Seems lighter, tougher, more breathable, and more precise, and like it would produce less waste than carving foam.

PSA: if you have an autistic friend that you're making any sort of arrangement with, PLEASE for all that is holy, give them *clear fucking answers!* Solid. Direct. Answers. I mean "yes," "no" "that won't work," etc. Solid. Fucking. Answers. Clear cut. Direct. Concrete. If you can't give one say "I need more time to decide," followed by actually following up with aforementioned solid answers.

I can't tell you how much it tears me apart getting "maybe" or "that could work," or "I'm not sure" and never getting a concrete "yes" or "no." An important fact about autism is that we often can't or struggle greatly to read between the lines and these slippery non-answers leave me and I'd wager many other autistic people guessing. Yet so often it would be less painful to rip my own fucking teeth out than it would be to get solid answers out of anybody these days and it makes me wanna scream! I'm begging you all, PLEASE give us solid answers... #autism #actuallyautistic

PSA for UK folks (especially supportive parents of trans kids and/or folks using GenderGP


Susie Green has co-founded a new healthcare service for trans folk of all ages in the UK called Anne Health :TransHeart:

It went live officially from the date of Trans Pride Brighton (20th July 2024), from what we've been told :TransPrideFlag:

Unlike GenderGP, which has sadly fired a lot of staff and replaced them with "AI" chatbots, Anne Health has commited to hiring qualified individuals who care and are knowledgeable about the best trans healthcare practices possible :BlahajWavingTransFlag:

Anne Health is planning to operating as a non-profit, and will take donations to help offer services to those who cannot afford the fees, so you can donate to them.

And they're open to shared care agreements with any trans friendly GPs willing to work with them.

Boosts very much welcomed :BoostsOKPrideSymbol: and please do share the word with family, friends, and loved ones :TransButterfly:

If you hurt an introvert, they don't retaliate, they just drift away. Missed texts, unanswered calls, cancelled plans. They don't want conflict. No stress. No headaches. They just want peace. And they have absolutely no intention of hurting you. They just go away. Quietly.

oh wow. Just learned that Ms. Pac-Man uses the same random number generation routine as Pac-Man, but it generates different numbers.

The reason? it uses the first 2kb of its own ROM as the entropy for the randomness, and the two games have slightly different code in the first 2kb, thus different random numbers

a stinky ox 🐂 mastodon (AP)

didn't everyone just used to read bits of ROM for RNG back in the 8-bit days?

Nobody would notice in your daft Vic 20 game that the RNG was skewed towards 6502 opcodes so it was perfectly good enough!

@llamasoft_ox okay, how many Llamasoft Games used this trick?

not only that but it used a memory refresh counter register for some pseudo randomness.

This happens every day.

Both my cat and I both prefer the big comfy office chair. If my cat gets to it first, I end up sitting on a tiny stool because I'm unwilling to disturb my cat.

However, my cat prefers my lap over the chair, so he inevitably jumps onto my lap.

Now, I can't stand and neither of us get the comfy chair, even though I would prefer it for comfort, and my cat would prefer to be in a higher spot on my lap.

In game theory, this is known as a Nash equilibrium, where no player benefits from changing things, resulting in everyone locked in place (even if there's a better overall strategy that benefits everyone).

My friend @rinzy/@rinzy.art is 100% correct. Whether you prefer Fedi or BlueSky, neither of these platforms look attractive for artists to switch focus to if you're still interacting with them on Twitter.

This battle was lost a long time ago. There is no going back to sane defaults. Data collection is now the primary goal of paid and free products. You don’t own anything, and you will be happy. Of course, you can still use privacy-enabled products at home, but those options are limited, and not all your apps will be available. https://bsky.app/profile/ahhmandah.bsky.social/post/3kzambh5yhk2z

Companies contract out small parts manufacturing, then big parts, then engineering and design, and only retain a "people and culture" organization that sits far from any factory, and before you know it you have two astronauts stranded in space and windows blowing our of planes because no one feels responsible for your overall product anymore.

IN-SOURCE YOUR ENGINEERING AND MANUFACTURING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1 1
juliette mastodon (AP)

Also, in-source your janitorial staff, in-source the people making food at the canteen, in-source your receptionist, in-source your IT support.

Every person working for a company should be working for that company.

You will have mid-term gains with outsourcing some functions, but in the long term, you will pay.

Stop listening to McKinsey telling you to outsource all that stuff. Their very business model relies on you outsourcing your brains. Ignore them.

Introduction post :xenia_laptop:

I'm Yeen Queen, a leftist, genderqueer, finsexual, furry and music enjoyer among other things.

I'd love to make friends here, I welcome anyone stopping by to say hi, despite being of the bone crushing hyena family I won't crush yours. Maybe.

Music I like is usually different types of rock, I love the punk rock aesthetics a lot.

This is the second instance I try and while I liked the other one I feel like a furry focused one would make it easier for me to meet people :)

When I got home today, after a couple of days at the old house, I parked the bike on the driveway and a couple of small fluffy persons came to say hello. Or, more precisely, one of them came to say hello, while the other one nearly did but then hid under a bush for ages, coming out only very briefly to tell the other one off and then go and hide again. I do like how they don't care that I'm in a full set of leathers, gloves, boots, with a blank black visor and no face, they just care if they get pettings. I do hope someday someone happens to walk past while this is happening and gets a surreptitious photo of a scary biker being affectionate to cats.

Also, I was busy yesterday and made four whole loaves of bread. Then I eated some.
