Happy Birthday to Ms. Geneviève - oh, you haven't met yet? I'm so happy to introduce you! She's new around here but we've been showing her around! She's hard to miss too, being almost 7ft tall and a polar bear ... 😍

#furry #fursuit

🚂 we survived the #furry #train (with no AC, amidst an extreme heat wave) this weekend!

thanks to the Mid-Atlantic Railfurs (MARF) group for hosting this and the friendly & helpful staff and volunteers at the West Chester Railroad

My take on some of the discourse... Don't yuck on someone's yum. If it's harmless, let it go and just go "Eh, not for me." Going off on why you hate it publicly is unflattering. Now privately talking it out with a friend is fine. But social media is not privately talking, you are broadcasting.

Might be getting myself a bass guitar in a few weeks. 👀

Haven't played since I was a teenager but recently I want to take it up again!

📱 Built to last

Your new smartphone or tablet must last longer, be easier to fix, and use less energy.

As new EU Ecodesign and Energy Labelling laws have entered into force, here’s what changes:

🔧 Easier to repair – spare parts for up to 7 years
💧 More durable against drops, water, dust
💡 Labelled for energy use, battery life, durability
💶 €20 billion savings for consumers by 2030
🌱 Using 1/3 less energy vs. doing nothing

Smart rules. Smart savings. All win.

Speaking of more fursuit things… I've finished another part of a charr fursuit. Paws are done for it and I find the modified patterns really comfy. :neofoxcomfyhappy:

Hopefully fitting him too, apparently has much larger paws than me. :neofoxnervous:

I'm being purposely facetious with the last part; obviously it's down to the beholder but, in my experience, I can actually troubleshoot most of the problems I encounter on Linux whereas on Windows I have to just keep trying nonsensical workarounds and pray that I can get it working SOMEWAY undocumented and then it doesn't work for everyone.

The cherry on top of this is that, after telling my supervisor, he tells me that he has to do THE OPPOSITE for USB storage to work; it won't work if he's logged into his user account!

And people say Linux is inscrutable??

MS Windows is fucking weird.

I've got two accounts; an admin account with full access and a standard "user" account for emails/chats/wev/etc. The user account does not have access to USB storage but the admin account does.

Today I discovered that I cannot copy files to, delete files from, or format USB media UNLESS I am logged onto my user account on the same machine at the same time; If I'm just logged on as admin I get permission errors.

How the fuck does that work???
