Last Notes npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…x5xv I wasted almost all of my twenties in a job with no work/life balance. After I changed jobs to one with more normal working hours (and it's a job I can "leave at the office"), I had free time to explore local socializing opportunities, especially with the furry fandom. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…s8xx Shoutout to the TREE(3) reference in the thumbnail. :aneobot_explode: npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…kzce Any sort of law or rule (setting aside things like morality) is only as effective as its degree of enforcement. There have been plenty of examples throughout U.S. history of certain laws being strictly enforced. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…pfuj Adding to the thread, a list of Free (federal) File providers officially endorsed by the IRS, which include certain firms mentioned like FreeTaxUSA: npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…nw2n I wonder who gave them the impression that they had "social permission" in the first place. Perhaps it was all the investors / venture capitalists, because I doubt any sizable percentage of consumers did. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…kzce I mistook this for a fried egg at first glance. 🍳 npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…x5xv I bought a Light Fury kigurumi a few years back for similar reasons: I can't justify commissioning a custom partial/full fursuit, and this allows me to play "dress-up" at furry meets and conventions. I picked a Light Fury because it was the only mass-produced white dragon kigu I could find. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…csvl From what little I know on the matter, this seems like additional evidence that the Online Safety Act was never about protecting vulnerable populations, but always a power grab to control the information that people can access. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…csvl Is AliExpress a trustworthy place to buy anything? Both in terms of the quality of products sold, and the site itself? Compared to Amazon or other well-known online stores. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…7xgn Maybe I just haven't seen any specific examples yet, but I fail to understand why the subject of religion would come up in a mathematics lesson/discussion. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…csvl :drgn_heart: npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…ded8 I use a zoomed-in image of Intaglio's eye as the profile picture on my company's Jira ticketing system. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…csvl Given how many furries have professional I.T. backgrounds, I'm not surprised that a community-based website would want to modernize their infrastructure. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…e4ry Isn't that what basically happened during the 2008 financial crisis? Millions of bad sub-prime mortgage loans re-packaged as collateralized debt obligations for basically the sole purpose of bumping up the debt by one or more letter grades? npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…2gvm Discussions about AI frequently remind me of the old adage, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…fe8t I think the closest real-world example of this is convention staffing, during the convention itself. Though I've been to cons more than a dozen times and it's rare that I see the "greeting with animal noises" in practice. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…67jw offers head pats and chin scritches npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…fe8t Reminds me of the guy from Russia who changed the terms of a pre-approved credit card to give him no credit limit and no interest. :blobfoxhyper2: npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…67jw That's what passes for "boneless wings" at Papa John's? :blobfoxangry: npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…fe8t Pleasant, amiable dragons, I hope. :drgn_heart: npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…fe8t Isn't that just the latest iteration of consumer culture? Convince your (prospective) customer base that something is wrong/missing in their lives, and then sell a solution. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…fe8t I'm reminded of something from an old Jerry Seinfeld routine (I'm paraphrasing): npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…vdjy I may not be a cryptography nerd, but I definitely have muscle memory typing out words like "convention" (when I meant to say "conventional") and "event" (when trying to say "even"), because of my long-time affiliation with a particular convention. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…fe8t Is that how the items for Prime Day are selected? It makes perfect sense, but I never thought of it that way. :blobfoxthink: npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…2gvm The stock radio in my 2009 GMC Canyon had a CD player (with MP3/WMA data support) but no aux input or cassette tape. For a number of years, I played music from my iPod via one of those little cigarette-lighter FM transmitters, but it wasn't a strong signal. I treated myself to an aftermarket stereo in 2014 which had aux and USB input, and I could natively plug my iPod USB cable into that. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…2gvm You're not wrong, but: Being able to speak convincingly/authoritatively and yet being factually incorrect is nothing new. For decades (if not centuries), people have tended to trust those who claim to be experts, even when other experts can debunk what is being said. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…fe8t The account username is a dead giveaway in my opinion. Nobody selects a long random alphanumeric string for a username unless: npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…fe8t I occasionally see offers pop up like this after making an online purchase (or a hotel reservation). I always decline all these offers because they tend to be free trials of subscription services that I'm not interested in. And, like this, they're probably from companies who hope you'll forget you were given a free trial so they can bill you. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…fe8t I've never (professionally) worked any kind of tech-support role, but I must wonder whether some people just use such services as a place to vent their frustrations with [product/service] and aren't looking for any real solutions. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…vdjy I wonder whether there are any jurisdictions that choose to formally codify (certain) ISO standards into law. Anything that has achieved law status, in theory, should be freely accessible for a country's population. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…fe8t Meanwhile I'm still using an iPod touch (64 GB model) I bought back in 2013, whose iOS version topped out at 9.3.5. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…2gvm I find myself still holding back on using AI for much of anything (at least, intentionally). AI seems to show up in places like search engines where I didn't ask for its involvement, but otherwise, it doesn't feel like I personally have much legitimate use for it. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…fe8t I'm reminded of this Lemon Demon song and Flash Animation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-j9u-1ohP5Y npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…kln7 And yet social networking feels more difficult (for me) because it requires actively engaging individuals one-on-one, at a deeper level than the superficial, parasocial interactions of social media. There's a bigger commitment, and a larger risk of vulnerability, when conducting social networking. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…fe8t I've never (knowingly) made use of Google's AI assistance tools. I might try it out if I knew specifically what I could use it for, but otherwise, it feels like a solution looking for a problem I don't seem to have. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…fe8t I'm trying to figure out the context for this. My guess is that there's some kind of app or website called "Three" and you've signed up for SMS notifications. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…fe8t I've owned nothing but Samsung phones, from my first flip phone in '06 to the present. Not necessarily because of brand loyalty, but because of familiarity. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…vdjy I've said it before, but I'll say it again: ad/content blockers are like condoms for web browsers, especially in this day-and-age. Regular advertising is annoying enough, but with browser hijacking and tracking cookies/spyware masquerading as advertisements, it can be outright dangerous. Practice safe browsing, people. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…vdjy I'd never heard of the "reply guy" trope. But given that the bulk of my social media activity consists of replies to others' posts (out of a genuine desire to contribute to the conversation, not to be combative)...does this mean I've been a "reply guy" all along? :blobfoxthink: npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…es7k Given that I personally haven't used Facebook in years, I'm unclear exactly what you mean by "info-hazard rubbish." Are you talking about the site having an issue with third-party tracking cookies (or the presence of Facebook's cookies on unrelated sites)? Or is a comment on the content found on Facebook itself, i.e. being a breeding ground for misinformation? npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…es7k I agree wholeheartedly. And not just a password, but also a short URL or anything else that is case-sensitive. One (non-monospace) font that easily distinguishes characters like that, is Tahoma. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…m80s I've seen the triangle comparison for coyotes, but never for cheetahs. :blobfoxthink: npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…es7k I'm not in the UK, but I've seen similar age-verification legislation being discussed where I live. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…vdjy I've done virtually nothing with web coding since HTML 4.0 and Microsoft FrontPage in the early 2000's. So while I may not understand the particulars of the coding in question, I can appreciate the ridiculousness of the criticism. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @nprofile…2gvm Rain is mostly gentle when it falls in individual droplets. The same volume of water falling all at once in a continuous blob would be far more damaging. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @npub1vg4…2yt8 🍄 🐍 ! npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @npub1vg4…2yt8 I'll admit I don't know much about crypto, but I have heard of Electrum. It's not JavaScript-based (as far as I know) but I believe it's offline. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @npub1vg4…2yt8 I do, along with some of the other sound effects from that game. Remember how the power poles flashed with that little electricity symbol until you attached them to a power plant? npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @npub1vg4…2yt8 I'd like to think I've long rejected the ideas of mindless consumerism, of not buying things for the sake of buying them...but that may just be because I like money more than I like most of the products money can buy. 😅 npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @npub1vg4…2yt8 I wonder if Hilbert's Hotel would also have an infinite number of meeting rooms / event space, and if so, whether it would cost an infinite amount of money to rent it out (or a finite amount of money for a finite amount of event space). npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @npub1vg4…2yt8 I never migrated to streaming music services at all -- I maintain an offline music library that I've built up, piece by piece, over the last 20+ years. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @npub1vg4…2yt8 I personally never have, but of course, there's a lot of "life experiences" I've shied away from. I suspect that it's one of those things that is over-reported, i.e. it probably is happening but not nearly at the percentages people think it's happening. Sort of like age-old parental fears of teenagers having sex, unprotected or otherwise. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @npub1vg4…2yt8 I literally made and wore a sign around my neck at TFF 2020 that said "Free Hugs 4 Fursuiters". I think I got hugs from 13 suiters in all, over the course of the one day I carried it. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @npub1zes…03qs I learned about wheatpaste when link-hopping on Wikipedia a few years back (a hobby of mine). npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @npub1vg4…2yt8 To staff a con, in my mind, means that I am there to work and only to work -- some people must work so that others can enjoy themselves. This is why I'm firm about only being staff at one con. Even though I could probably get on staff at all the cons I attend, I don't want conventions to become nothing but work for me. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @npub1vg4…2yt8 Or just be like me and devote your (nearly) every waking hour to being on duty because, in your mind, that's what staffing a con means. 🙃 npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @npub1zes…03qs Those are called "patent trolls." The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has written about them extensively: https://www.eff.org/issues/patents npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @npub1zes…03qs I am aware that a recent version of Chrome introduced the idea of "sleeping" tabs which reduce resource usage if not accessed in a while. Maybe the idea of actively loading 18 tabs all at once, caused a massive surge of RAM? npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @npub1zes…03qs Wasn't it Arthur C.

They just see the freedom and independence of adulthood without understanding all the responsibilities that come with that freedom. npub10hsejkp027w2enddaz034l0exwh3tdwsenzglnkka7f6a6xc4yjsfl4m7y Intaglio Whitegraven @npub1zes…03qs Many typefaces display the lowercase 'A' as something resembling 'a', but I don't know a single person who writes the letter in that manner.
