Hi there - welcome to the museum!

I volunteer at a small museum and introduced them to fuzzy me recently - they all loved it! :3 #FursuitFriday

Verbose update from the FA tech team:

Too long for alt text. Content is available on Fender's journal here: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10936501

TL;DR: FurAffinity is back up, attacker may have briefly engaged in email spoofing. Attacker did not (to their knowledge) ever have access to real FA emails or user data. You were logged out and should log back in.

As before, we don't know who the hacker is or how they did it. (See my misinfo post for more: https://dragon.style/@pyrex/113004484026364537)

It's kinda funny how ubiquitous the phrase "the Internet never forgets" is, yet just how seemingly wrong it's becoming as time goes on.
The WWW gets older and if pages weren’t archived and server goes down / content changes / service enshittifies—yes the Internet DOES INDEED forget. Stop taking it for granted!

It also reminds me just how ephemeral recorded-content really is.

Humankind would be back at square one had we only relied on our own memories + speaking (no recording) and nothing else.

If you're romantically interested in someone who is Asexual but know a relationship with them would not work out due to that, do not say to that person "If only you weren't Asexual..."

I've accepted being Asexual a long time ago, but I'll admit that sometimes it still bothers me that it gets in the way of things like relationships.

Having someone say that to me upset me a bit.

@Legion495 this and bluesky

I really should set up cross-posting on here soon, would make things much easier for me -_-

A friend just pointed out:

"ADHD creates impulse control issues and, consequently, advertising takes advantage of a disability.  Ergo, ad blockers are assistive devices and interfering with their operation for commercial gain constitutes a willful violation of the ADA."

Let’s do this.

It's worth patiently and persistently pushing back against AI hype in your worksplace to try and counter the bubble evangelists
- Generative AI can't do facts
- Generative AI can't reason
- Unless a model tells us what it's trained on, we should assume it's participated in the largest copyright theft in history
- No incremental improves are going to change this
