It's jarring to think that we've only had homosexuality be fully legal in most of the UK since about 2003, and the first gay marriage in 2014.
To underscore that, it's only been about 10 years since you could say gay people have had comparable rights to straight couples.
And we're still fighting for the right to be who we are, and for our trans friends to do the same.
My pc-keyboard-oriented brain finally figured out that "eepy" as "sleepy" makes sense it you realize that for the mobile generation(s), "L" is right next to backspace.
It sounds like baby talk, but it's a typo:
"Sโซeepy"

We are 2 months away from having coal free (UK based generation sources) electricity in the UK. Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station closes on 30 September, the last train load of coal has already been delivered.

someone on cohost said "i literally still think vrchat should implement a feature where someone's nameplate actively tells you when they can't see your avatar for performance reasons" and man I agree with this so hard.
like the implicit social pressure created by realizing just how many people have your avatar disabled and consequently aren't seeing you for YOU would actually cause people to care about optimization
That was a weekend. I got to meet many wonderful beans who I've only known online, and I got to wear my fursuit in public for the first time! I think you can tell I was nervous even through the suit. 
I had this silly idea that we could do multiple rounds through the zoo that evening, but we ended up only going a tiny fraction of the way because everyone wanted photos and hugs and high-fives.
I also learned that fursuiting at home for two hours is not the same as fursuiting outside at 27 ยฐC (duh) and had to go back to our "fursuit lounge" much earlier than I wanted, because I didn't want to risk an accident with all the kids around. Still, seeing how much fun all the guests and my friends had, it was so worth it, and I'm definitely going to try this again.
Thank you to everyone who was there, especially @karb, @Polarie_Fox, @Deepseacreatur3, and @livi_wusky! We basically had a little Fediverse meetup. :3
It was also amazing to watch my fellow fursuiters Charlie Blufur, Mick, and Taro - it made me realize how much skill goes into fursuiting and bringing your character to life, especially at a public event like that.
I can't wait to try this again!

Been a while since I posted something on here showing progress of the project I've been working on.
So here it is! All neonly now! I'm quite happy going with this theming cuz it's easy to maintain and I need to shift my focus on making a small mission driven singleplayer "campaign" like in Shellshock Live as well as improve the online experience and a tutorial. Those are the last really important parts I should get done (Improve Online as in figure out how to best cover my ass legally and have some sort of lobbies with simple settings and private option)
When we say โbillionaires should not exist,โ what we mean is:
Everyone should have healthcare.
Everyone should have housing.
Everyone should have access to good food and clean water.
Billionaires are a policy failure.
Everything catastrophically wrong with the world was done to make some billionaire even richer.
Every town that had to evacuate due to a chemical spill, strip mining, or a never-ending underground fire was done to make some billionaire even richer
Every news article that pits white people against minorities and immigrants is written to distract us from billionaires destroying democracy, human rights and the planet to make themselves even richer.
The billionaires are the problem.

@pippin This is worse than so much worse than saddening. This is like the Vatican proscribing books, book burning and the severe forms of state censorship that the USA used to deplore and *said* it would go to war to prevent.
(This message has been edited to correct the last sentence, which said that the USA would go to war to defend censorship, however accurate that might be now, the sentence was written with a historical perspective.)

I can count on one hand the number of my clients over the past couple of years who haven't either over-architected for scale or were unnecessarily concerned about it (prior to coming to me for strategic advice, of course ๐).
You don't need to understand Distributional Little's Law to figure this out, it's obvious with primary school level math.

We donโt talk a lot in public about the big vision for Tailscale, why weโre really here. Usually I prefer to focus on what exists right now, and what weโre going to do in the next few months.tailscale.com
It was interesting seeing how the song changes through the years. Later versions would reference other events in the UK, the AIDS crisis and I think the Spanner case, as well as Tom's own journey
