Thinking an awful lot about my dragon alt being a girl.

Well, I mean, she is now a girl and I need to get some new artwork to show that. 💜

I'm on call this week and over the weekend someone decided to remove my entire access to the ticketing system. X)

I released a new tracked music entry at Nordlicht 2023 in Bremen! It's an oldskool style dance track featuring train samples to fit the theme of the party :)

We are currently witnessing the fallout from monopolization in the browser space. Back in 2007, Internet Explorer received much criticism for its phishing protection mechanism which transmitted all visited websites to Microsoft servers. Mozilla paired up with Google and designed a different system which performed most checks locally and preserved users’ privacy. That’s what healthy competition looks like.

Fast forward to 2023. Almost all web browsers in use are either Chrome or based on the Chromium browser engine. With the competition pretty much eliminated, Google is now pushing its “Enhanced Safe Browsing” down everyone’s throats – which is a nice sounding name for “every website you visit is sent to our servers.” The Internet Explorer approach from 2007 all over again, only that now it’s Google getting all this data. And they certainly won’t do anything evil with it. Yeah, sure.

Reminder: Firefox and Safari are the only remaining browsers worth noting which are not using Google’s browser engine.

Do not trust AI to tell you which mushrooms to pick.

By extension, you can no longer trust Amazon results for that, or Google results either.

Would you believe this is how we used to install Arch Linux?

For #FursuitFriday, proof that we were able to get DarkFang into Disneyland during one night of Disneyland's Halloween Party back in 2014.

We had asked guest services well before the event, and were inspected and cleared by two managers at the entry gates (staying on-property may have helped). We kept well away from the young kids and the Halloween candy lines, and were generally well received. Still, I doubt that we would be able to do it again.

Single-use vapes are such an environmental hazard when not disposed of correctly; they should never have been allowed on the market.

Since I've seen a lot of chatter about people switching to #Firefox as Google ramps up the enshitification of #Chrome, let me tell you about a killer feature for people who (a) need multiple accounts on the same websites (eg. devs) or specifically (b) have to use multiple Google accounts.

Firefox has an official addon called Multi Account Containers that lets you trivially set up color coded tabs that have separate sets of cookies. Log into your dev account in one, and your test account in another. Log into your personal #gmail in one and have another tab next to it with your work Gmail. I'm actually not signed in to any Google accounts in most my tabs, I just have containers for the specific tasks I do on Google products.

It'll take you 30 seconds to set up.

Really hope I can fursuit at a con next year <3

By that I mean I've really gotta start working on Renamon suit pretty soon.

Forgot to share this ! The wonderful folks at @OfficialNewFurizons commissioned this from MarshMelloMedic on birdsite, and art for all the other DJs and their own mascot!

I'm DJing there 23rd Sept, along with a LOAD of other furry DJs! It's gonna be the biggest furry rave in the UK!

holding a Gardevoir Direct to announce I am going directly to bed

I tried to sand the rough priming and bits of the primer and filler just fell off, lol

I've put a fresh layer of a different brand of primer on and will see how that reacts tonight, then I guess I'll have to do some spot filling.
