Do y'all remember that era of the internet when furries were widely seen as a super weird and cringe community? During that time I remember many furries making apologetic videos trying to make the community seem more "normal" by claiming that the majority of furries are straight and don't consider the fandom sexual *at all* and like.. come on. That was dumb and also seriously had the vibes of throwing all the "weird furries" under the bus to gain acceptance. The furry community broadly speaking is very queer, very neurodivergent and very kinky and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm glad we're no longer pretending otherwise to such a degree.

I feel like not enough people have seen this drawing I made some years back

If you used a BBS before the Internet you might get nostalgic. Otherwise you probably have no idea what this is about (and that’s fine).

#Capitalism gives us the illusion of independence. It's a very alluring lie. And we're trained to tie our self-worth to our degree of independence.

The coming crises will be easier if we don't wait to do the inner work of recognizing our interdependence and the outer work of strengthening our communal support networks.

Now this is some bullshit.

Today: Don't have an "approved" phone? Too bad for you.
Tomorrow: Don't have a Google account? Good bye.

Another nail in the coffin of the Open Web. Those fuckers.

... It's grown taller since this morning

I tried planting a new variety of onion this year and so far they're thriving.

So much that one of them has, uh, grown legs.

Given that the major search engines have utterly broken the social contract that implicitly allowed their bots to index content in exchange for driving traffic to your site, I suggest that blocking unauthenticated traffic as a defensive measure is useful.

Rolling a reasonable IAM stack for your hobby website is hardly reasonable tho.

But nowt says that, for example, you can't generate a uuid and a trivial password on the front page and use http basic authentication for anything further, with a FIPS-style "access to this information system is for authorized human users only" notice.

Because then, if you -do- see googlebot or whichstever scraper in your logs after, that is bypassing a control to access a protected information system, and thus an actual crime, with a unique ID as to the transactions associated with that bot to create an audit trail.

ArXiv announces a ban on AI content and the responses are hilarious.

yes, lol!

Like, bruh, you can wear colors—you'll still be just as cishet as you were yesterday.

Get your passwords out of BitWarden while you still can

I was a long-time Bitwarden user, until a year or so ago when I started migrating my passwords first to Firefox/LibreWolf, and recently from there to a KeePass database I can transfer and use with whatever password manager application is compatible with KeePass' file format. It seems I was accidentally on time, as it'
