Attention people making VHS filters!

Stop putting image warps and lines of static through the image! No one watched tapes like that. We adjusted the tracking. The only way it looked that bad was if you popped the tape open and licked it.

You want a real distortion? Chromashift everything towards orange and blur it. I watched A LOT of videos like that, because I was cheap, and recorded everything in SLP.

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)

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.
