Folks in the #UK, my old colleague Dr. Adrian Bowyer is running a petition:

"New rules for manufacturers of medical device implants

We believe it should be made illegal for manufacturers of medical devices implanted into patients to regularly charge the patient for upgrades or maintenance."

It also calls for "IP" to be released if a manufacturer fails. I feel this subject is important enough to ask you to disseminate the link. Thank you.

Here's your irregular reminder that:

Twitter was a multi-billion dollar company with thousands of employees.

Mastodon is a niche hobbyist product run by volunteers

The fact that we're being seen as a viable alternative to them is an admission that a federated, decentralized future is not only possible, but desirable.

Mastodon is not one thing, or one place. It's a network of many things and many places. We don't have a spokesperson (I mean, there's me. I'm the official spokesperson for 💯 of the fediverse, but beyond me there is no spokesperson) we don't have consensus on moderation or blocking or tools or what is good and what is bad. Some of us are professional SREs and Sysadmins, some of us aren't. Some of our instances have been around for 5+ years, some won't be here in six months.

And that's good! All of it, every last bit of it is good.

We're wrestling power away from the billionaire class, in real time, and reclaiming it for the People.

@cinnamonvector Have you ever thought about 3D printing Wagon helmet from the initial model you made?

Does anyone own a genuine rail departure display we could set up at the EMF exit gate showing trains from Ledbury station?

@cinnamonvector Gosh though I bet it’s still wonderful to see yourself like that in a mirror! I’d love to experience that. ^^

Don’t wait around for better times to come your way. You want positive change, you gotta make it happen🔥

Furry fandom owes a great debt to the late Mark Merlino. My flight path, and those of countless others before and after, is simply not the same without his effort to build community, establish the first furry convention, and preserve its history.

The only words that come to mind are "thank you".

Thank you for blessing this world with the most wonderful and imaginative fandom I could ever wish for to be a part of. I don’t know where I’d be without it

RIP Sy Sable 🪦💐

Something I consistently struggle with at cons is getting misgendered in costume.
Possessing such as I do the body of the average Roblox character, and favouring heavy armour cosplays, it’s a real mood killer to ruck up to the con floor and get he him’d for the day.

The ODST Is a prime example, I padded the hell out of the chest and hips in that, but the addition of the canonical kidney armour and back padding just exudes he him energy.

So something I’ve kept in mind throughout this one is how to wear it in a way where I don’t get punched in the face with a wall of dyphoria the whole con.

Still not sure I’m there with either of the first two shots, as I despise showing skin in general but I hate this less than the full boilersuit alternative in shot 3.

@pippin Yeah it is a really good feeling! Really would like to have a Wagon suit some day. <3

@avon_deer Starmer spends way too much time listening to lobby groups instead of, yknow, members and the public.

A bit late but have a little lunar new year dragon 🐉🧧✨
If you know me too well, her name is Tangyuan ~
