Really losing hope for the future lately, ngl. Too much to say, and none of it matters. Too much centralized power, and barely any way to escape from it. The Luddites were right, and they were turned into a joke.
There's too much to say here. This second post could say anything. "I want a world filled with artisan spoons", "Handmade makes for better spoons", "Software isn't fucking spoons." I knew the shape of this thread before I started writing it, and now I don't.
Saw a post a few days ago about how AI is the future of software dev and if you write code by hand you're now an "artisan whittling spoons" and "that's okay! some people will still buy your spoons β¨", and --

I'm pleased to inform you that they have in fact made a game version.
Okay, it's a training device, but it may as well be a game. It says "ouch" at you if you're doing a bad job. youtu.be/o5kpSko9uAA?...
...god am I going to become a Perl person? I've never seen Perl code before tonight, but now that I have, I feel like it might end up sneaking into my casual scripting lol
i would really appreciate a boost on promoting this single, as it's one i am very proud of and i would like it to reach as many ears as possible. we are also raising money to fight ICE.

Yes please count me in!
It's been said for the longest time that humans are oftentimes the weakest link in a secure system, because of their unpredictability and vulnerability to things like phishing.
Incredible that we've managed to invent something even more fundamentally vulnerable.
Flippin thru a big stack of old furry comics i bought and this got my ass good
This community has been adult-oriented and queer since before I was born. Don't let the new generation of Burned Furs make you believe otherwise.
It's macro March!

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some 50 miles of concrete highway. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. This, I repeat, is the best way of life to be found on the road. the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.

Very funny to me, also, that "The Arsenal of Freedom" is the name of an episode in Star Trek TNG where autonomous AI weapons killed an entire civilization and there's a sales hologram still on the planet trying to sell them. it was originally a commentary in the sale of F-14 Tomcats to Iran(!)
A bipedal red fox paints a rainbow across the sky. They have a determined look on their face. To the right of the rainbow are segments of text from newspaper articles about grim news for LGBTQIA+ folks, especially trans folks. On the left, there are flowers on the ground, with butterflies flittering about. The discouraging words are illegible faint smudges. Artist: BriarhideIllust

Why stop at 1993? We can go further back to 1988: www.fangfeatherandfin.com/this-old-fur...
A raccoon fursuit wearing leather harness and chain leash, his arm around a smiling convention attendee at Confurence 1993 in the artist alley. There are people behind the pair but it's too dark to make out details.
A Lola Bunny fursuit wearing black lace panty-hose and holding a crop. She is posing. A watermark for Upright Fox is in the top corner.
A seductive mustelid fursuiter holds a leather crop, his white and blue fur under leather vest, belt and low-riding jock strap pose in front of an empty convention hallway table.
A gender-bent bear fursuit with eye liner wears latex from the waist down, and a corset. A smiling con goer looks on in his white teeshirt with a busty anthro animal on it. There is a busy crowd behind them.
Furry has been kinky since the beginning as illustrated by these photos from Confurence 1993 (curated by www.instagram.com/d0gfag/) There has always been a demand for adult spaces in furry. The fandom was founded on the idea that adults can use anthro animals and cartoons to express adult interests.
we need to stop trying to tolerate and get on with the puritans in the fandom. they ARE nazis, they WILL destroy the furry fandom. they are the burned furs and we cannot tolerate them just like we didn't tolerate them the first time. isolate these fuckers, deny them comms, whatever it takes

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discordβs age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel.

It was a fantastic set! Very glad I went out to see this tonight ^^
A system that degrades and disrespects the very people who help feed us is unsustainable at best. Dismantle that shit.
