โThe sound of traffic and a uniform sea of barley have been replaced by the most beautiful meadows, full of wildflowers, young saplings and the buzz of beesโ
Tripp also has a Protogen variant dubbed the Protogoon - an upgrade that transformed her into a purely digital being of variable size. Between her musical performances, she enjoys feeding on data, breaching networks and messing with people's hardware.

I bring to you, my quest for Naritaya's Furry Land.
It all started when Tori showed me this post:
That sure is a PC-98 game that says "furries ga suki". I had to know what this was all about. Why does a PC-98 eroge have the word "furries", in English? Why did it devote a whole room to the idea of loving furries? I needed answers!
Like it says in the post, it's from the (in)famous Alicesoft eroge Rance 4.1, but searching for it didn't give me much in the way of results. The text in the screenshot is first-person, out of character text so it read like some kind of a dev room, but even searching for that didn't bring up much - until I found the script itself. And there it is, Naritaya's heroic pro-furry screed:
Nice to meet you. I'm Naritaya.So not only is our friend Naritaya a furry fan, he specifically uses the English word "furries" in romaji more than once while expressing his love for furries. This is a Japanese artist who knows and loves the English furry scene. (Keep in mind, this is 1995!) This is where Aura found copies of some of Naritaya's personal art, with the URL still in the watermark, which is what brought us to:
I'm a newbie CG artist who was in charge of
the title CG and a few other things this time.This will be my debut work.
Anyway, my goal from now on is to steadily
increase the number of furry lovers like me
and create a game that could be called
definitive for that genre (hah).Everyone who loves dog- and catgirls, or things
like elves and devil girls (though the nuance is
a little different), basically "non-human girls,"
stand up now! Alice has its tradition of gal
monsters, so this shouldn't be just a dream!ใฏใขใใพใใฆใๆ็ฐๅฑใจ็ณใใพใใ

At work today I helped somewith with a laptop. When we'd finished she asked for my name; when I told her my real name her face lit up and she smiled, like a proper genuine smile, and thanked me for being so helpful.
I think this is the first time that a random person has realised that I'm trans from my name and has been outwardly approving of it. ๐ฅฐ
Meanwhile Elon Musk is trying to destabilize the UK.
Maybe take that into consideration next time you buy a car or cheer for SpaceX.

Let's get this fuckin' show on the road!

Y'all know Jack Dorsey isn't involved with BlueSky and hasn't been for a long time right? Like that's the one bit of weird misinformation people seem to be fixated on. He left when they refused to leave the platform unmoderated. Since then, they've implemented a bunch of moderation tools, frankly tools that are better than this platform has. I say that as someone who was a mod for a large instance.
Was digging through some old data, in a dark corner of my network, and found THIS!
I downloaded this file using the NCSA Mosaic browser, cos it was the coolest thing i'd ever seen at the time, and have just kinda had it living on my harddrives and getting transfured from machine to machine ever since.
Looks like it's been reprocessed and stuff since the old days, but the fact it's survived at all is amazing! it says more about my data hoarding than my back-up policies, sadly XD
If you recognise this... you. are. old.
Since I saw a report about 1984 (because of a new audio version done for motherfucking Audible!) with the same talking points, here's the usual correction:
1984 is not a book about total surveillance. It's a book about how to ensure the middle class will never stand with the lower classes against power. It's about how to destroy solidarity. In 1984 only the middle class is surveilled, the lower classes (proles) and the upper class (inner party) are not. It's a book about power and class politics that is more relevant than ever - but not "because our phones surveil us".

Just ran across this:

ServiceDesk: "The latest Windows update isn't installing on the user's device."
Me: "What's the error message?"
SD: "One or more updates failed to install."
Me: "That sounds more like an application failing to install through SCCM or MECM. What application fails to install?"
SD: "No idea."
Me: "Ask the user these sorts of basic questions before passing them over to us, thanks."
