rant about energy prices 

I'm still pretty angry that I'm paying almost 30p per kWh of electricity in 2023.

Back in 2008 it was 4.16p per kWh. Today we pay over six times as much as we used to. Even the highest spike in the past

And the only way to offset that now is to run solar, if you can afford to install it.

The stereotype is that most people end up trending more conservative as they get older, but things like this are make me go even further leftward.

JPEG XL is superior to JPEG, PNG, GIF and WEBP and it still got shunned to death by Google because Google wants WEBM and WEBP to succeed, while claiming its "because jpeg xl doesnt provide enough benefits" like what???? It literally does lossless compression better than PNG and does animations more efficiently than GIF and WEBP???? God I hate google so much

The UK is going to ban 'XL bully' dog breeds. But the problem with those dogs isn't with the breed itself; it's with people who get them purely as a status symbol. The kind of person who gets a status dog isn't the kind of person who will train their dog properly. If they can't get an XL bully, they'll get a different "well 'ard" dog, such as a rottweiler, German shepherd or doberman - and then we'll see an increase in attacks from those breeds.

One thing that has distracted me from art lately is making my own set of #SlimeVR trackers for #vrchat

It was a fun little challenge and I'd been itching to do an electronics thing for some time.

Raw material cost came out at about £170: not counting labour time, frying £20 worth of components, and the extra tools I had to buy. But this is compared to a base station setup which would set me back £600 as I don't have lighthouses.

In VRC they do well enough. Once you have the mounting calibration down, their position is close enough, but they're not gonna be pinpoint accurate like Vive/Tundras. Especially if you're doing funky rotation heavy poses like that leg stretch pose.

I've been learning Marvelous Designer. I've made clothes and costumes in the past so it was very easy and intuitive to pick up. Retopo is easy as it exports in the flat pattern too. I made a lil cheerleader dress as practice :)

In case people need multi-lingual translations of common words on Mastodon/Fediverse

I got something rather cool today, some pyjamas for Samé so I can wear something while I'm suiting or just relaxing at home. Thanks to Heartglow_Roo for the design of this. I highly recommend them for fursona PJ commissions!

Hmm, I wonder if I link my Steam curator page will it get buried like on twitter? Only one way to find out I guess!

Follow my page, the games I recommend will show up on the Steam front page for you. Leaning more towards indie, and I don't promote games with predatory monetization.

Good #morning from me and my new favorite sweater - I think it subtly shouts I’M #QUEER AF, what do you think? :blobfoxcrylaugh: :BlobhajPrideHeart:

What’s everyone up to #today?

Airbus open sourced their new cockpit font. Make it the default for all your embedded projects, because it's REALLY good and has real testing in difficult environments!

This was mine: the A600 Lemmings pack with Lemmings and Delixe Paint III. Many happy hours spent with both and I have an Amiga 600 again these days.
