Being poor is incredibly expensive because every opportunity to save money on necessities in the long run is balanced towards people who have a lot of money to spend at the moment. You need money to save money.

All these short-term solutions cost a lot more than a bulk purchase or quality item that you can't afford if you don't have the money, but need the thing right now. So you buy cheap over and over again and end up spending much more money than the wealthy. And that, folks, is how the rich get richer from the poor. What a fucked-up system. Why exactly do we support this?

I keep thinking about when I change my name (hopefully later this month, after I've been paid) that I might change my surname too?
I've never liked it and I'd rather it be something more me, but I'm worried about how my dad will take it.

Need to have a chat with him about it all.

weird how MP3 got a sequel that is a video file and then another sequel that is a gun

CAW! My Tenga Warrior OC is now a girl! 💜​🖤​:flag_transgender:

Today we got what must be the most alarming first line in a newly file sec issue to #curl:

"To replicate the issue, I have searched in the Bard about this vulnerability"

... followed by a complete AI hallucination where Bard has dreamed up a new issue by combining snippets from several past flaws. Creative, but hardly productive.

Closed as bogus.

Ooh. It looks like the BBC are going to throw their entire Doctor Who archive onto iPlayer. As well as setting up a brand new Doctor Who subsite.

Coming on November 1st: bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2023/doc

The early years of the furry fandom and the #CommodoreAmiga have some links through the characters and animations of Eric W Schwartz. While best known for Sabrina and the Sabrina Online webcomic, his first OC was Amy the Squirrel.

This animation is a collection of clips created for an AmigaVision demonstration at ComputerFest held in Dayton, Ohio - EWS's home town. The demo was conceived by Don Rumford for the AFIT Amiga Users group.

Amy went on to become one of the unofficial mascots of the Amiga.

I'll give you a tag for this, @vulpine. Hope you've been doing okay <3

Look this slink (spandex) is just really really good and I love it a lot!

I want to wear it all the time, every day. Thinking about wearing it under my casual clothes (sans the armour, of course) makes me feel really nice and at ease/comfortable.

I really need to brain properly and get the pattern down so I can get it printed and seven pieces made up! 💜

#MLP #anthro #Fluttershy smiled and addressed the flock of songbirds that sat in her hands and fluttered around her.

"Okay. As much I enjoy having you around. Autumn is upon us, and you must be on your way! Be safe my little friends, and I will see you all next spring."

One of the drawings I started during my recent autumn themed picarto.tv/baronengel stream.

a little (very simplified) doodle explainer of what federation means to you, and why you don't need an account on every server

Really need to go speak to my dad soon and tell him that I'm trans and I'm gonna change my name, but the anxiety is holding everything up. :s

Next year, when the weather gets better, I really need to go on a camping trip with @BridleTimeout.

What's stopped me this year was getting hold of some comforts that we'd rather have with us. Should have them for next year. :)

getting some use out of my foundation ham license by making contact for the first time in about 4 years from the National Radio Centre (who very graciously noticed @unlobito and I had licenses and asked if we wanted a go! they were lovely)

the person I made contact with (David / MM0LGR) was all the way in Ayr! (well, 15 mi south)

I wanted to consolidate a few thoughts on google, misinformation, large language models, enshittification, and the fate of the web as we know it.

It started when Carl Zimmer shared this remarkable example of Google being fooled by machine-generated bullshit online.
