Ado is one year old today :3

My gratitude to all of you. There's been so much kindness and warmth. It has created friendships near and far. Furry might be frequently tied up in sexuality but it's also an enormous surface area for socializing.

Furry culture is one of extreme empathy. It's one that nurtures self-acceptance. It's one that has the conversation about mental health and neurodivergence.

Bottom line is I definitely love myself more year over year and Ado is a huge part of that :3.

The increasing pressure from well-meaning people -- even on the left -- for "online age-verification" is in effect a call for censorship and further destruction of privacy.

They don't care, as long as they can claim to be protecting kids.

They think they can keep the totally predictable problems under control, but that shows contempt for history and what we already know about technology.

One example: eff.org/deeplinks/2024/06/glob

Are consequences unintended if they're predictable? No.

Today marks the 55th anniversary of the Stonewall riots. One year earlier, the Stonewall Inn was marketed as โ€œcasual" and โ€œcrowded on weekendsโ€.

Is your home lacking in glamour? Have you considered a complete set of glamour canisters or a matching biscuit barrel?

LittleFuse (Zilog's parent company) took the last orders for the #Z80 yesterday.

After 48 years of constant production, #Zilog will no longer produce the Z80 as LittleFuse is unable to keep producing the current Z84Cxxxx series using the 4-micron (4000 nm) CMOS process.

The legendary chip, designed by the legendary Federico Faggin in 1976 was largely responsible for the microcomputer revolution and is still beloved by electronics hobbyists today.

It had one hell of an impact! RIP Z80

Thanks to LittleBadWolf for this beautiful piece depicting my rabbit, Mortimer, looking cute as hell in a flower field, wearing a hand-made floral wreath.

Cracks clams open with a rock. It wants to open the clam and not the rock!

Does anyone know if Ubisoft developed any true 3D games for the Game Boy Advance? Asking because RayCarrot discovered that there is code for a full 3D renderer in Rayman 3 GBA, but the only place it's used is this moving wheel in the credits screen.

The renderer has capabilities far beyond what would be necessary for that (including skeletal animation), so there's no way they developed it just for this, but I can't find a single example of where it could have been used.

It's Friday night, it's cold outside and I'm still working on that whole social life thing, so here's a long rambly thread about the 15-pin PC gameport and its historical significance, because it's something I want to practice writing about at length (if anyone was silly enough to give me a PhD for something, it'd be for this nonsense).

Feel free to mute this thread if that's not your thing - or if it is, bookmark it for later, or prepare to be en-knowledge-ified!

As a junior doctor I spent 6 month working in an obstetrics and gynaecology department. Part of my job was assisting in theatre with the elective C-sections. I would often be the first person to touch the new born baby so I would always "boop their snoot" and wish them well.
