Oh, nah, that’s just my name!

We’ve literally never even heard of Avantris, so yeah, I didn’t get the reference. :3

Huh? My fucking legs?

From what we’ve heard, the neo-Nazis and suchlike tend to use “degenerate” on anyone they don’t like.

Particularly us furries.

I wish Congress were wolves. They’d be a lot cuter, more fluffy and less evil.

– Topaz

We don’t, personally.

For android, look to see if your phone can install an alternative Android build like Lineage. https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/ You can get apps from F-Droid, which is a different appstore that only has open source apps and doesn’t even have accounts at all.

Ooh, what script is that? Looks cool!

I’m a wolf, so mine’s a sheath. 🐺

(well, technically, the sheath is the outer thing around it, and when it’s out of the sheath I still have to figure out what to call it. But when it’s stowed away? sheath!)

(also fun fact: I have a permanent boner. Literally, there’s a bone in there. :3)

– Frost

Because THAT’S not creepy…

– Frost

I bet this happens because when you go back, there’s some new posts at the top, so e.g. “page 2” is now a bit shifted compared to where it was before.

– Frost

Huh? There’s no burying.

If they’re not following you, it doesn’t show up on their home TL. Why the heck would it?

If it’s public, it does show up on their local TL (if they’re on your server) and/or their federated TL (if their server knows about yours).

– Frost

YOU can stop being online, maybe.

We’re queer, and furry, and therian, and plural. We do not have community in dirtspace/so-called “real life” (online is just as real).

Some people need the internet to survive.

If you like burnout paradise’s “open world driving around doing stuff” vibes, you’ll probably get a kick out of Forza Horizon! That’s basically its whole thing too (slightly more realism, slightly less fast-paced craziness, big open world that’s a pleasure to drive around in). We have and absolutely love FH4. (Shame it got delisted.)

So yeah, can recommend.

Forza Motorsport is more like other Burnout/NFS where you’re on closed tracks with no open world, from what we hear.

Controls aren’t bad, and you can remap stuff if you need (at least on PC, dunno about console, but I would hope you can there). It’s got loads of options from Burnout Paradise type arcadey down to shifting-with-clutch, you can adjust it whenever you like (well, maybe not in the middle of a race but besides that). At least in FH4. I’m assuming 6 is similar.

Ah, a buttler.

(not really relevant, I just couldn’t resist the pun)

– Frost

I mean, we don’t watch TV anyway and literally every single friend we have in our life is through social media, so… TV would be the one to toss, no question.

– Frost

It may not be on YOUR keyboard. Ours has it on alt -, or shift-alt - for an em dash instead of an en dash!

– Frost

Not the good kind.

Seriously, “just go outside” ignores that some people (like us) kinda need the internet to have community at all.

(We’re furry, therian, and various other things. We can’t just pick up a magazine or whatever and get furry porn of the exact kinks we’re into. And even besides the whole porn thing. Also just, like… being able to talk to people. We need the internet for that, too.)

Personally, my problem with systemd is that it’s slowly trying to take over everything it possibly can, and be as hard to remove as possible.

It’s not “so you just think it’s all a single binary!”. No, I’m 100% aware it’s multiple binaries. The problem is that it’s a single project, and that’s too much power to give to one single project.

“oh but you can swap out the individual parts!” Sure. For SOME of them. Until you swap out the systemd init and suddenly have to relearn a shitton of completely random other stuff because systemd was doing a boatload of other things. Might as well get that out of the way early and use normal other projects for the other stuff, and also ditching the init system can’t hurt just to reduce their stranglehold.

Also OpenRC might be worth looking into. “systemd or Old™ Nasty™ sysv scripts” is a false dichotomy, openrc’s init scripts are declarative like systemd units (and it also supports sysv scripts). There are also totally different init systems (but we don’t know much about them, we started with systemd and then jumped to openrc recently).

– Frost

Uh, the systemd devs do.

Bagels. And a toaster oven. Don’t cut the bagel, just pop it in the toaster oven whole for about 3-4 minutes (on ‘toast’) (at least that’s what it is for ours, your oven may vary, adjust to taste).

Warm bready goodness with basically no work and no cleanup whatsoever.

As a furry, this is uh, worrying.

Really glad we’re not in the UK. Though uh, not like the US is much better at this point… but at least the US has the whole “everyone understands that the current government is going on a series of ridiculous power trips” going for it, so they’re less inclined to just think “ah yeah, throw all the weirdos in jail, totally normal!”.

(I’m not into incest, but I am into completely different Weird Shit.)
