yay did a thing and put up a wardrobe!! finally somewhere to hang my clothes ^^

Here we go, a two-fer for #WerewolfWednesday - 1994, Haunted Verdun Manor, Forney, TX. That's me in the then newly-finished Silvermane and Bart B_ in Lugaru, my previous suit. (Waves at Bart, wherever he is now; I've lost track over the years).

Imagine bumping into the two of us while going through a haunted house!

This was the only night Lugaru was "loaned out," and the only photo of both of us.

In a moment of frenzied excitement I decided to add some wolfsbane but I've never painted flowers before so now I'll have to learn how to paint flowers

k-ID (the age verification provider Discord use) store way more information about the AV process than they let on. Sure, as far as I can tell, actual images of your face are not uploaded but these absolutely are and are stored by k-ID (and are accessible) afterwards:

  • Device & Browser, including version info, OS, connection speed, page load times, etc.
  • The name and details of the webcam you use.
  • Precisely what happened during the AV process (which stages you completed)
  • Timelines of various facial movements you made (the position of 16+ tracking points on your face over time)

believe it or not transmasculinity and cismasculinity have different dynamics in society and equating the two as equally oppressive is appaling shit

When an LLM outputs, “I panicked”, it does not mean it panicked. It means that based on the preceding sentences, “I panicked” was a likely thing to come next.

It means it’s read a lot of fiction, in which drama is necessary.

It didn’t “panic”. It didn’t *anything*. It wrote a likely sequence of words based on a human request, which it then converted into code that matched those words somewhat. And a human, for some reason, allowed that code to be evaluated without oversight.

almost midnight rivaclaw thinkings: What if I turned the grotty old boombox that I own into a portable raspberry pi based audio player? 🤔​

So preparations for #emfcamp

My fursuit has a rotary telephone inside, and I'd be stupid if I didn't get it working on DECT, I already have a Pi Zero in there with a GSM module, but finding something similar for DECT is proving a little more allusive

The best I could find is this module codico.com/en/homea-dhx913-ext

Which actually has a RPi GPIO header, the issues are 1. expensive and 2. is DECT ULE even gonna be compatible?

If anyone can weigh in who knows the setup at EMF or perhaps knows of another approach that can be used I'd be very grateful
