I just finished making cranberry sauce from scratch for tomorrow. It's in the clear jelly style, so I used the cleaned can from the pumpkin I used for pies to mold it :3 I'm hoping it's as delicious as it looks. I'll try and remember to take pictures tomorrow; at the moment it's gelling in the […]

The winter solstice is here! Happy Yule, y'all ❤️

Happy solstice! Little wood engraving made this morning ✨

Hey gang, @steggy and I want to help make #MonsterdonSavesChristmas a big success this year. We are matching your donations to these 3 charities up to a total of $3000. Send your redacted data to @xoagray as usual, and we'll get the total at the end and […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

Larian is poisoning the well of positive customer perception by using AI tools. They claim that it won't directly touch the final product, but they are talking about using it for placeholder text and concept art. As far as I'm concerned there's no way to use AI in product development that is […]

Couldn't be happier to see game development houses going union :D https://www.eurogamer.net/developers-microsoft-owned-doom-studio-id-software-form-union-with-cwa

Free was giving Lily snuggles and I caught the most dramatic pictures LMAO. She's just yawning but so freaking funny.

Holy hell Skagit County If you are on the 100 YEAR floodplain, you should evacuate IMMEDIATELY. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/weather/wa-flood-warning-continues-as-skagit-other-rivers-swell-toward-record/#update-19138090 If you see this […] [Original post on mastodon.murkworks.net]

`0` days since #manjaro forgot to renew their TLS cert 🥲 👏 Please just use #endeavouros or #arch instead lmao https://www.reddit.com/r/ManjaroLinux/comments/1pio2ho/the_ssl_certificate_for_the_forum_has_expired/

Ain't enough people talking about this holy shit!!

I don't want to be too mean about this... Calibre is almost half a million lines of code, and has been around longer than Python 3 has. But also? I'm trying to point out that a large part of how we archive and read electronic books without fear of retroactive censorship is load-bearing on those […]

[Implied Lewd] Sometimes I giggle when reading comics :p https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/on-the-edge

Amazon might not notice that you stopped shopping with them* but if you take that same modest bit of disposable income and spend it on art bought directly from artists, the small electronics projects of your friends, helping people in dire financial situations and the the local theater all of […]

Worf: Have you tried unplugging it and then just leaving it unplugged?

REMINDER tomorrow is ”DON’T MAKE JEFF BEZOS NOR HIS CONSPIRACY OF #techbros RICHER” day. #blackout #blackfriday and don’t give your money to fascists. #antifa #anticonsumerism #scamazon

This is a morning where apparently I am faster to yell about software. At least I can do it in spaces where no one else has to hear it :p

Good morning lovelies

Just a quick Thanksgiving week PSA: Remember to thaw your turkey in time to roast it _🦃_

Happy Wolfenoot to all! 🐺

[trans healthcare advice (US-specific)] PSA for my US trans friends: there's a Telehealth HRT clinic called QMed (QueerMed) that serves adults **and minors** in 47 states (excluding DC, unfortunately). They accept lots of private insurance (but not medicare/medicaid), and also offer a payment […]

We met on FurryMUCK, way back in '92 The dialup noises said I soon could chat with you The text was slow but didn't stop you coming through OwO And now I open an abandoned term window We read the scrollback and it seems so long ago Do you remember how the TS used to go OwO

Ooh - I like this take on genAI from Edwin Evans-Thirlwell of Rock, Paper, Shotgun: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/epic-boss-tim-sweeney-is-right-to-call-genai-a-political-topic-its-a-mechanism-of-class-war

I think that one of my favorite details about how valve is marketing the steam machine is how they explicitly tell you on the product page that you can do other things with it. There is going to be a whole second life for these devices that may have nothing to do with gaming just because they […]

the steam machine thing is a big tech milestone: a major tech company in 2025 launched a product and never mentioned AI

While the included picture is an 'artists rendition', the article itself is really cool. :3 RE: https://mastodon.social/users/esoastronomy/statuses/115538264574036956

The aurora is so beautiful today!

[Cat photo] Giles says hello

I've been playing The Outer Worlds of late, and I have to say that grabbing snacks at a convenience store this morning felt...unsettling. Everything's a jingle, advert or a sales pitch in the game - and almost all of the consumable items you find are processed foods with brand names. It hit me […]

While cleaning a storage room, our staff found this tape containing #unix v4 from Bell Labs, circa 1973 Apparently no other complete copies are known to exist: https://gunkies.org/wiki/UNIX_Fourth_Edition We have arranged to deliver it to the Computer History Museum #retrocomputing

Damn o.o

made me giggle for sure 😂 #adulting #silly #humor #cats

Free and I found our new favorite condiment, Salsa Macha. We have been putting it on everything. It't got some delicous heat and the crunch of all the seeds is amazing! It's stupidly expensive to buy here, so Free has been working on perfecting our recipe and it's sooo good!

I'm waiting (somewhat patiently) for Fedora Project to correct a packaging problem with wine that was identified before v43 released. A beta tester even proposed blocking the release so that it could be fixed - and that was rejected out of hand. It seems weird to me that they would knowingly […]

This morning I welcomed the return of sunlight - but I never forget that the cost of an hour of morning sunshine in November is days of short sleep in the spring. I still like the sunlight tho. _​:ms_sunrise:​_

“Alright it’s November already can you GET THIS THING OFF MY HEAD!?”

@0xabad1dea Due for revival:
