It's kinda depressing how tumblr is imploding now and I'm seeing half my follow list go "man, after seeing both twitter and tumblr do this, it's really showing how it's a bad idea for a social media network to be run by a company who can make arbitrary changes without user consent.

anyway, here's my bsky: ..."

Got around to making an actual reference sheet for our favorite linux fox (at least, for how I draw her~)
#xenia #art #furry #furryart

I'm on windows, using docker which uses WSL2 to run a linux so I can run a linux container which runs dosemu2 which builds a DOS program

this is normal

Tumblr's moderators falsely flagged a trans woman's completely clothed and non-sexual pre- and post-transition photos as 'explicit content' and refused to rescind the ban, so she posted that she hopes the CEO "dies a painful death involving a car covered in hammers that explodes multiple times and the hammers go everywhere". The CEO of Tumblr is currently having a very public and extended meltdown about this, and is claiming that the Wile E. Coyote ass scenario of CEO Car Hammer Explosion was a "credible death threat" which required the intervention of the FBI and has banned the woman in question. He has spent the last few hours being Definitely Not Mad Online in all of the comments and replies. Truly incredible next levels of Silicon Valley Bro brain

‘They lied’: plastics producers deceived public about recycling, report reveals

"Companies knew for decades recycling was not viable but promoted it regardless, Center for Climate Integrity study finds"

Corporations have proven time and time again they cannot be trusted to act for the good of society, only investor returns.

We have the solution, but we need to elect people with the spine to fight for it.

It's called, "regulation". It's fading fast thanks to the influence of America's oligarchs, but our governments at various levels still exist specifically to rein in corporations and others who harm society.

Stuck on a tube platform. Which reminds me of the Chinese sound engineer I shared a lab with years ago. He had scale model of a tube station in the basement wired up with speakers and mics because the standard sound equations didn’t work for long spaces - they assumed a roughly square room. Through scale experiments, he worked out the equations for long spaces. And that is why announcements on tube platforms are now understandable instead of being an echoey mess.

Today's mildly spicy take: YouTube's decline as a platform probably has less to do with adblockers than it does to (say) a 3-minute video where 90 seconds of that are various forms of advert. I mean, that's a ratio that's _worse_ than terrestrial television.

So my father passed away about a year ago.
My mother is still finding random charges to her credit cards from his old Amazon account.
Amazon was notified that he had passed. His credit cards were cancelled. He was never an authorized user on my mom's cards, and Amazon was never authorized to bill his subscriptions to her cards.
The bank apparently says this happens a lot, it's a well known issue.

It's a well known issue.
That Amazon regularly commits credit card fraud.

Christ I am so glad I no longer do business with those crooks.

Why can’t all licenses be like the GPL and have a lesbian variant (LGPL), an ace variant (AGPL) etc.??

In case you forgot how it's spelled. 🙃

Warning: Rant
My husband and I are both left-handed.

There are approximately 708 million left-handers in the world.

Over 9% of people are left-handed.

Apparently these numbers do not meet the threshold for inclusion in product design.

My former Mr. Coffee coffeemaker had ambidextrous functionality. The flap over the water reservoir opened to the back, allowing someone to pour water easily from either side.

My new Mr. Coffee coffeemaker includes a design change. The flap over the water reservoir opens to the left, making it almost impossible for me pour water into it.

I just bought a new electric water kettle. The first time I filled it with water, I guessed at the fill limit because I saw no markings inside.

Then I read the instruction manual that referenced the maximum fill line. What? Turns out, I can only see the fill line markings if I fill the kettle while holding it in my right hand. 🤦‍♀️

If you are a product designer, you commit design malpractice if you fail to acknowledge the existence of left-handers.

End rant.
