  • Basically, “furries” are animal people like in Disney’s Robin Hood and Zootopia, and the fans of those creatures. There’s some sfw art at !furry@yiffit.net if you want to see. Humans in media are boring. :P

    Personally, I’ve seen it to be a very open, accepting and welcoming community. So I guess I romanticise being with a group of like minded people, which is something I’ve felt lacking in my life.

    … Annoyingly, due to its history as an lgbt-friendly splinter group, it’s who a lot of the bigots started targeting when it became socially unacceptable to be honophobic online. Grumble grumble.



  • Proton isn’t designed to be a security layer and afaik doesn’t go out of its way to sandbox applications. I’d expect a lot of viruses will fail to do anything, but there’ll also be some able to do things like steal your browser or discord passwords.

    There’s no reason to risk it; don’t run anything in Proton that you don’t feel safe running on Windows.



  • I have three things I want to see in a fictional world (either mine or someone else’s):

    • Furries, but not in a weird “metaphor for racism” way.
    • A nice sophisticated magic system.
    • Either a mideaval fantasy or spacefaring sci-fi setting.

    The current idea rattling in my head is for a game which will likely never get finished. A spaceship with a small crew gets blown off close while travelling at warp speed or whatever. The heroes need to visit a bunch of planets (and learn secrets within) to find… Elemental crystals or something, I guess, to make their way home. Not sure how I can incorporate magic into it though, or if that would just be scope creep.











  • “Learning how to learn” is an important skill that I think people overlook. It’s important to know how to get information and understand things when the AI isn’t helpful.

    My worry isn’t about “AI taking our jobs”, it’s that people will not learn the skills and abilities to progress beyond junior levels due to relying on AI.

    … Or maybe that’s just me being a grumpy old fogey.

    Out of interest, what did you have trouble understanding? I’m always curious about how people learn programming and how resources can be improved.
