I made this video to provide an update on my current situation please take a moment to watch this. Please repost this and spread the word. <3 Here is my ko-fi link: ko-fi.com/catmayo/goal... If you prefer cashapp my tag is $SnakeMayo If you cannot help please repost! <3 Ty!

Mmm I don't know if there's anything that sticks out that I want to do this year. Maybe worry less and snuggle more. For as rough as 2025 was, there were good things that happened that I want to carry into 2026. Many of them are the friends I've met along the way, who I appreciate so dearly. 💙

WE ARE LIVE FOR NEW YEAR'S EVE twitch.tv/interlopr

SnakeMayo, a kind soul and a good bean, has had a super rough year. Right now, she's facing a horrible choice, between eviction and 100% necessary surgery to treat a dental problem that's already caused her one bout of sepsis. It's no position to be in at all. If anyone can help, please do.

My -33% asset sale ends soon! Pick up some spirals, goo, voxel and other shaders :O 👉 shader.gay Happy honda days!

I feel like we need a shorter way to say "I'm hanging out with people, but I myself am fairly new to the group and constantly anxious that they'll decide I'm not their vibe and abandon me, so I'm in absolutely no position to be inviting people myself given that" so I can use it as a VRC auto-reply

Quote this with what you have accomplished in 2025 no matter how small: - Survived so far - Held down a job long enough to cover rent and essentials for a few months 😮‍💨 - Joined the Furality team as Accessibility Engineer ♿ - Snuggled countless many sweet beans 💙 - Continued making FOSS software

The deadline is even closer and I am still short by a bit! I have until January 2nd to reach my goal. If anyone is willing to help I will be forever grateful and do any 3D work you need me to do! If I can’t reach this minimum goal I can’t pay my rent and get my surgery.

Ever struggled to find your friends at events in VRChat recently? As it turns out, nameplates just don't appear until the new cosmetic "warp effect" has played, and those only play once a player enters your avatar culling distance. feedback.vrchat.com/bug-reports/...

Peglin is a game I highly recommend, but only if you're the kind of gamer who can tolerate occasionally wanting to scream at a game and quitting it in pure incandescent anger, only to go fire it back up the next time you want something to play. It's great for that.

This event is shaping up to be THE place to be in VRC this NYE. This is a huge, multi-stage event being put on jointly by several of my favorite clubs. There are also other side stages going on during the day, also hosted by wonderful groups. You won't want to miss it. Come party with us!

I mean, sure this guy sucks, but every liberal who I ever ask to consider wearing a mask again, even if just for flu season, reacts nearly just as poorly so it's not really fun to point and laugh anymore. Being disabled sure shows how much everyone kinda sucks sometimes...

Friend of mine was telling me about Omarchy, a super-opinionated Arch distro that uses Hyprland, this modern-day Compiz wiggly Wayland desktop thingy. It seems fun, but it's the brainchild of DHH, a loathsome techbro bigot who represents the worst of the "old guard" of tech. Nah I'm good fam :(

Feeling warm and fuzzy and extremely grateful for the many friends I've made in my time in the furry VR space. Laying in a big cozy pile with friends I love and care for and staring up at the stars, for a moment I felt all my bad memories about the holidays being replaced with happy new ones. :')

I'm jumping on the holiday bandwagon and making my avatar base free for the next couple days, because above all else I really just want to see it out there in the world ^^ Check it out! Mess around with it! Have fun. Happy holidays. Meow! jinxxy.com/v333varts/Ga...

screw it! in the spirit of the holidays the dromeowyrm v2 base is also *100% off!!* thats right! wyrms for free!! go go go! get them if you haven't yet, spread the word!! give the silly little guys some love too! jinxxy.com/corvidcurse/...

Sign me the hell up! #VRChat

It seems VRC's outage tonight can be traced back to Epic Online Services, who provide the backbone for Easy Anti-Cheat: status.epicgames.com So, to recap, using EAC: - Didn't stop rippers - Destroyed a lively community of modders - Hurt accessibility - Fucking ruined Christmas for everyone

this is what twitter artists do to you when you tell them the reason "nobody is on bluesky" is because "nobody" includes them

It's time for the snek to make it's debut 💙

🌌 As announced in our Christmas Special, the Furality Somna lobby, Dreamweave City, is out now as a PUBLIC WORLD! We've also released our Somna Events world, Library of Dreams -- best enjoyed with a bunch of friends and a cozy video to watch together. 💜 Links in reply. 👇

In VRC's push for age-verified spaces, one big hurdle they're gonna have to cover is why Persona, their verifier, sometimes completely fails people, leaving them in a lurch between two customer support channels who just pass the buck between each other. Here's something to upvote about that:

HOLIDAYS SALE IS LIVE! All avatar bases and DLC are now 40% off until Jan 2nd, 11:59 pm EST! (lol its 12 days so its my 12 days of sale ig 😆) jinxxy.com/Kudalyn/prod... kudalyn.gumroad.com #vrchat #furry #holidaysale #3dmodel

I hope in a month's time VRC has either somehow fixed every problem people have with Persona or has introduced some form of new alternate verification workflow, because we are just rocketing toward age-verification being a barebones requirement to participate in our community and leavin folks behind

Just discovered that one of my upstream Docker things (Watchtower, which checks for image updates and auto-updates) is being sunset...the goodbye message has a few gems in it. "...with a heavy heart, and some sense of relief..." "A few of the active forks...are full of AI slop" Lovely 😔

I'm going to be spending more time promoting alternatives to VRChat, and I don't want folks thinking that's because I've given up on VRC. I appreciate the steps they've taken as of late. But one thing has become abundantly clear now: we need competition, and more than that, we need REDUNDANCY.

CVR has re-entered the chat room :o

End of an era: the creator of Broadcast Using This Tool (BUTT), a very handy FOSS radio broadcasting tool, has announced its successor, BUTTM (BUTT, but Modernized) and it's closed-source and commercial. Thankfully it's pay-once, own-forever, but it's just another part of the stack going that way.

Are there any rich patrons of the arts in my mutuals? Could really go for someone to sponsor a few of the big creators to port their avatars from VRC to Resonite, just so the barrier to adoption of the latter isn't as high as it is today. That'd be a real shot in the arm for platform competition.

An important update from VRC. Basically, they're going to tighten up content gating and require age verification for more spaces (and work to make that verification more accessible than it is today, either cost-reduced or hopefully later free), and invest heavily into moderation infrastructure.

I don't know how to thank everyone, but I'm going to try, starting with a full account of what the hell happened over the last few years. New blog post on my Ko-Fi: "What happened, and how thanks to you, I'm going to be OK." Link: ko-fi.com/post/Thanks-...

Seeing Ponytown pop up again today reminded me that in 2018, they IP-level permabanned me for advocating for an extremely minor but very helpful accessibility feature that users weren't allowed to implement on their own, only to implement that feature on their own two years later. Happens a lot!

I know you can't and probably don't want to get into it - I've been in your shoes in my last job - but I want to stress this recent ban-wave has made me delete everything public on my account. If you won't moderate underage users for being in adult spaces, give us more tools to protect ourselves.

I think the damage this does can't be understated. I was temporarily banned from the game for reasons that were unclear, because of an avatar I still haven't been told the name of, for rules that are vague and open to mis-reading. But I can report the same nazi group 20 times and nothing happens.

I wish every VRChat press release addressing the legitimate anxieties of people who depend on VRC for huge parts of their social lives and face a frustratingly opaque organization with cryptic rules didn't read in such a condescending way. "We get some of you are upset, as silly as it may be..."

I get that for some, the Potter series represents your childhood, and feels comfortable like a warm blanket. But you are an adult now, living in a world where there is an active genocide underway against trans people and their identities. And every dollar you give the Potter franchise furthers it.

I want AI usage to become poisonous to an entities public image. I don't care if its "here to stay", I want you to be afraid to disclose it. I'm tired of the endless bragging. You should be ashamed to your very core if you utilize it to replace creatives.

The way people will use AI to write stuff for them and make pictures for them and make code for them and then get upset when you matter-of-factly refer to them as an "AI supporter" reminds me a lot of how people will vote for Trump and argue for him but will hate being called a "Trump supporter"

Docker just made their Hardened Images (base images built on Debian and Alpine that are stripped down to secure essentials) free, and it's super cool how many options exist, but it likely won't be a drop-in replacement for most use cases as it changes a *lot* about how the containers are built.

Two seemingly unrelated things happened today: Mozilla's new CEO went all-in on Firefox AI, and 28 Senate Democrats voted to ban trans athletes and undefine trans/NB people. Both are such great examples of "with a resistance this shitty, it's no wonder the bad guys keep winning". Fuck, I'm tired.

Mozilla introduces its new CEO, who leans *hard* into Firefox becoming a "modern AI browser" that's the cornerstone of other apps. Truly, the AI brain worms are just the latest in a long line of ways Mozilla has been the most disappointing defender from total Chromium hegemony you could imagine.

Robin Ince reveals to last night’s audience at a recording of Infinite Monkey Cage that the BBC has forced him to resign over his support of trans people

GitHub pullin' a fast one on us, discounting their own Actions runners but slapping a fee on external ("self-hosted") runners. For a lot of folks, the net difference will be minimal, but the intent is clear: to use their own fee structure to incentivize staying within their ecosystem completely.
