Finally bit the bullet and ordered an ARM64 machine for development. Ended up going with a refurbished Snapdragon X Plus laptop because it was the best cost-to-performance ratio. I don't need the screen and keyboard but mini PCs (the few that exist) are somehow more expensive with worse specs :P

Heck yeah, got my NBN upgrade :3

Everyone is blowing this Bluesky community guidelines thing way out of proportion. Don't be so sensational, go and read the updated guidelines yourself. There's nothing there about banning adult content or furry porn, only the sorts of things that are already banned everywhere else. Calm down.

Garden update: Carrots and cabbages going strong. Future site for corn. Bonus lavender :)

This first spring weather (albeit 3 weeks into spring) does wonders for my mental wellbeing.

So, no rape and no feral porn? I think I can manage that.

iiNet be like "we're upgrading your Internet connection sometime during this 5-day window", and then "sorry, we can't get our shit together, 3 more days".

So, the Google app for Windows hijacks the Alt+Space keyboard shortcut that has been part of the OS since Windows 3.0. Do people not check this shit before implementing it?

Not just the US, same goes for Australia.

Still having a damn rough time here, but I wanted to share a recent commish that I thought turned out well - fish aren't something I draw often & I wanted to make him look a little different from the refs, like the extra fingers referencing prehistoric tetrapods. #tf #commission

Twitch refuses to load streams or VODs if you enable tracking prevention in Edge :P

Today's been such a busy R&D day, I've barely had time to catch up on anything. But hey, I've learnt a lot of (arguably useless) things about making WebDAV and Office play nice with each other.

You honestly don't have to show me what Twitter's saying. That's why I'm here and not there.

Holy shit, that's a lot of points

Well damn, that went well!

Wow, it's like this game knows who I am :o

40. Oh, the things i've seen...

@artseaanimal.bsky.social Hi, I was browsing your store and wondered if you have a size chart for t-shirts and tank tops?

Dear next door neighbour's bougainvillea: Fuck you. That is all.

do the thing

Also, never let PayPal do currency conversion for you. Their rates are extortionate. Always convert using your card provider. They bury the option under a few submenus and there's no way to set it as default, but you will save hundreds every year this way.

Modern TV news is so gutless. Dozens of stories about how a footballer used a slur and has been disciplined for it, but not a single reporter dared to tell us what they actually said.

This shouldn't be a controversial opinion. Part of the fun of 007 is that he's a camp caricature of masculinity, including everything that's good and bad about it. Should there be spy movies with female leads? Absolutely. But don't imitate, innovate. Goodness knows we need more original IP.

Apologies in advance if i'm uncharacteristically abrupt or snappy with people for the next couple of days - dealing with some physical pain.

New toy! In true greymuzzle fashion, this is both for cleaning my carpet and for spot cleaning my fursuit :P

We could've been living in the funny helical dome by now, but instead we got crypto and AI :P

Possible hot take: I saw someone say that they only upload their art to social media sites because it "gets more engagement" If you (exclusively) upload art to a timeline, it becomes 'content' to be chewed up and forgotten If it's uploaded to a gallery, it's always there to be seen and appreciated

Funny beer

Funny bird

I have had the hiccups for 15 minutes x.x

Birthday cake has been vanquished! Thanks @monkau.bsky.social :3

First spuds from the garden! They may be small but there's plenty of them :)

For real, this is how I write code.

It's taken me over a year, but today I finally framed and hung these prints I got from @sunsetscorpion.bsky.social :3

Back in the (lap-swimming) pool for the first time in 10 years! Guess who's super unfit? ➡️This dolphin ⬅️ x.x

Today is a frustrating reminder that I am bad at setting goals for myself. I really have no idea what my game plan for the next decade is. After focusing so hard on education, then employment, then travel and finally home ownership, I don't know what comes next.

I don't think my lawnmower likes running on 95RON

This weather is vile x.x What am I going to do with myself stuck indoors while it's cold and wet?

Ever since Linus got braces, i've found it extremely difficult to watch his videos x.x

It's not easy being cheesy

Sticker wall MK2 coming along nicely... :3

Broccoli is coming along nicely :)

Undertale did not change my life. It explored some interesting ideas and had a banging soundtrack, but it's just a game.

If you can comfortably afford something, but refuse to buy it because it doesn't represent good value for money, does that show strength of character or does it make you stupid?
