I don't care what the separating character is, so long as there is one and a numerical sort will arrange dates in chronological order. =D

Dunno! I haven't been to Twitter since Elon bought it and activated our scorched-earth protocols. Twitter hasn't been accessible on any device in our network since then.

Queer folks have a bad habit of falling in love with people on the other side of the country.

The Long Furby and "yuri" tee shirt marks them as a very particular type of tumblr weirdo.

A leopard seal plushie, three furry body pillows, and my "worn but doesn't need a wash yet" clothes pile are taking up that space in my room right now. XD

Yeah, but for real though. We moved out of Texas and now we have to go to a fancy organic grocer to get decent jalapeños.

Same deal, any peppers really

Yes.

They expected companies not to make badly-designed not-phones that depend entirely on internet services, most of which will undoubtedly be shuttered by the end of the year.

It just sort of happens whenever there's enough queer folk in one place. XD

As of the last survey a few years back, something like 80% of furries are queer.

Never saw estimates for how many queer folks are furries but I suspect it's a tiny fraction.

knightly OP ,
@knightly@pawb.social avatar

I've noticed this myself! Any moderately-sized org probably has a furry or two keeping things running behind the scenes.

I use = instead of :, because feline. =3

Guilty. 😸

Also acceptable =3

Or just compost them so they can be useful without giving anyone prion disease.

Alternatively, magnesium shavings can be used in place of a sparkler for ignition. You can also reduce the ignition temperature by adding powdered magnesium on top or mixing it in up to 10%.

Super-short version:

The system that Linux uses to draw anything on the screen (showing the desktop, your windows, their contents, etc) is called a display server.

Linux has been using a display server called the X Window System (or x11) since its inception, but it's ancient and has limitations that can't be fixed without breaking everything that depends on it.

The Wayland compositor is the new display server that will be replacing x11, improving security and adding support for newer features like HDR. It's nearly ready for a full release now, and is already the default for some Linux distributions.

Hence my reference to the Wayland compositor rather than just Wayland.

I work in this industry and I can confirm that there's fucking nothing ensuring the privacy of these transactions. Tens of thousands of people have full access to everyone's credit card history, and that's not counting unauthorized access and card skimmers.

Crypto is just as insecure as credit cards. The whole point of the blockchain is that everyone can see all transactions.

Basically, yeah.

Eventually the distant galaxies will fade into memory as their light is lost to the expansion of the universe, then the stars will all burn out, the radioactive materials will all decay, and black holes evaporate in the final flashes of light to illuminate the universe.

With no sources of heat left, what remains gets down near absolute zero as residual energy is lost as infrared radiation. The heat death of the universe is the long, cold dark at the end of everything.

Thus, any "true" sort of immortality must necessarily violate the conservation of energy.

Therefore, we should investigate immortal entities as potential post-stellar-phase power sources.
