I think 12 August was about the sunniest day we've had since the solar panels got put on the roof. It's certainly the one with the best graph - it's nice and smooth and you can clearly see the "shoulders" in the morning and afternoon where the panels on the garage are shaded by the houses on either side; the couple of cloudy periods in the middle of the day are easy to ignore and don't prevent seeing the shape of the curve.

if you need a campaign slogan:

what if your oven only allowed you to cook foods that its makers approved of
what if your car only allowed you to drive on roads its makers approved of
what if your scissors only allowed you to cut paper in shapes its maker approved of

why when it comes to electronic devices then suddenly it's completely fine for the maker to have a say on what you're allowed and not allowed to do with your own device you have possession of

I’ve long been a fan of Armistead Maupin’s Tales of the City…watching the characters evolve and have adventures over 5 decades has been a joy to follow. And at the heart of it is Mrs Madrigal. The perfect landlady and granny…and yes she’s #trans. It wouldn’t work without her.

Great to hear Maupin’s warmth and defiance.

"Be a human being and let people be who they are." Love it!

I read the first six books, probably around 1990. Loved them all except for the last of them, but hadn't realized he'd written more. I might tear through the entire series from the start!

@bodhipaksa

There is still much to be enjoyed in the later ones…and they are beautifully good books to tear through at pace I find!

I think it must have been too painful to write about the characters for a long period…but I’m really glad he returned to them.

in general I just hate how p2p is so damn neglected with modern tech, it's now extremely easy to send real time video to a server to the other side of the world

but it's a pain in the ass to have basic communication between two devices on the same room without an intermediary (in an open way, I know that for example apple devices so some direct connection stuff, but it's a proprietary closed system)

This kind of blew my mind. Compare this enormous camera stabilization system from 1970 with the gimbal on a $299 DJI drone in 2025. Incredible.

A reminder alert popped up.

"Oh," the Supervisor said, "it's time to check in on Sol-3 again. Szrpt, can you handle that?"

Szrpt bowed a frond. "Yes, of course."

"Don't forget to reset the killer asteroid if the sapients pose no threat."

"Once!" Szrpt bristled. "I only forgot that once!"

bad idea: full length isa card with strings and solenoids.

the strings are pulled taught, and the solenoids pluck the strings.

Excellent plan. You could also look at clock gongs for the lower frequencies.

needs tiny servos, too, so it can be tuned without opening the case. Then you can write self-tuning software by adding a mic to the PC.

Is "they/them" ever "offensive" or "wrong" to use? Like, if you don't know, or can't remember pronouns for a subject, is defaulting to "they/them" safe until otherwise informed?

  • They/Them is generally a safe default (92%, 58 votes)
  • No, it's not a safe default - do something else (3%, 2 votes)
  • It's more nuanced (comment) (4%, 3 votes)

nice result. I think everyone rather neutral genderes then goes through the struggle misgendering accepting the neutral gender in return.

@pippin I'm a he / him kinda' guy, but don't care of I'm referred to as they / them or even she / her. Playing Warframe makes you kinda' used to it. (The roster of playable "frames" is about 50/50 male / female and most people play both.)

Guide to Paper Airplanes

Lessons are better learned mid-flight (I guess). Hyperious, the otter, takes the captain’s seat, steering their oversized paper airplane. Nova the raccoon and Wren hold on for dear life, meanwhile for Av, the rubber husky, it’s the best rollercoaster ever built.
Don’t worry, though, they all landed safely… eventually.

Picture for illustrating a panel that Hyperious and all his crew are running at BFC

If you want to take a look on the short time-lapse process video of this piece, you can watch it on the first comment of this submission on my Telegram art channel: https://t.me/panda_paco

There is also a longer version with all the process of it, I shared it exclusive for Ko-Fi and Patreon supporters. You can join, check it out, and also check all the process videos I record (or export from Procreate, like in this case), and check some WIPs and more drawings that I haven't posted yet on my galleries. Your support would help me a lot to keep creating more art.

I just made some edits to a short (3000ish words, an approx 12-minute read) fursuity, science-fictiony, huggy, possibly very slightly kinky, time travelly story I wrote recently and it's now in a state where I think I'm happy to show it to people.

Huh, an interesting little sculpture creator, Hero Forge. I assembled this beartaur. Pity I can't swap out the hooves for paws, or make the lower body a bit less horse-like, but at least they have bear tails available.


I had fun in Hero Forge and made a me!!! New profile pic for now :3 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵

In the veggie garden, Chase, the ferret-cheetah boy, has found himself a very simple task: to shoo the chicken away. He chases after a flapping ball of feathers.

Picture for Chase.

I recorded a time-lapse video of the process of this painting, I got to record most of the scene but sadly my phone stopped recording it almost in the end (the app I use to record the video ran out of allowed memory and I didn't notice, I kept painting), but most of the process was recorded anyway, you can watch it on the first comment on my Telegram art channel: https://t.me/panda_paco

That's a very short version of it, but there is an extended versio of that video, exclusive for Patreon and Ko-Fi supporters. You can support me to keep living out of doing what I love to do the most, and I give you access to all the high resolution files, scanned files of the traditional art work, all the full process videos, access to see my drawings before I post them online, WIPs, exclusive merch, and more.

Finally (only a year after moving in) got round to asking a glass company for a quote for refurbishing the double glazed panels in this house which have water sitting inside them.

Only took a year to send an email, I feel accomplished.
