@ret@furry.engineer Wowwww. "gay pride is not about publishing gay pornography" ummmm I have news for you not to mention the entire "kink at pride" discourse

@CorruptedFox@meow.social that is AWESOME :3

@xoagray@tiggi.es And REALLY don't go biking/escootering. Last year we got hit in the back the day after July 4.

@backupbear@aus.social Pronouncing him Gay R.R. Tolkien in return, as a bit.

@witchgirls@woof.tech oh hehe vim has u for undo and I think ^R for redo :3 (it uses single keys like Blender)

@witchgirls@woof.tech For context, in a terminal, if you hit ^Z the terminal will send the program a suspend signal and it'll suspend itself and give you your prompt back. (Most shells have 'fg' to get back to the thing you were running.) You can't really rebind that, unless you catch that signal and do something completely different when you receive it, and I mean you CAN do that, but it'd be a _massive_ shock for anyone trying to use your thing, haha! There's a similar thing with ^C actually. In Unix terminal land it means either "clean up and exit, please" or (in interactive stuff) "cancel". Terminal sends a signal, just like with ^Z; program can either just eat it and die, catch it and do some cleanup and then quit, or cancel a thing in the program itself, whatever makes the most sense. Overriding that to do something completely different is a bit more culturally acceptable I think, but... when I tried emacs I couldn't figure out how to quit, even hammering ^C didn't help, I just got "C-c C-c C-c is undefined". Aaaaaa! Vim, for all its "no one knows how to quit" memes, at least tells you how to quit if you get frustrated and start hammering ^C. :3 But none of this really applies if you're using Emacs as a _pure_ GUI editor and will never use it from the terminal.

@CursedSilicon@social.restless.systems Why are a bunch of animals talking about ✨humanity✨ as this sacred thing? Ugh. Art isn't a human thing. My art is art, too.

@witchgirls@woof.tech ^Z being suspend is a Unix terminalism! This'd be way more of a useful convention if you were running Emacs in a terminal. If I tried ^Z and it didn't suspend I'd be like "WTF??"! (but we use vim instead)

@rith@dragonchat.org @RoxannaRachnid@yiff.life hey Eira! Welcome! =^.^=

@fox@packmates.org Oooh that sounds lovely.

@fox@packmates.org maybe we should wear ours more! I don't know how common they are down here in the SF bay area, though. I don't think there's quiiite as many therians as up there (why do they all congregate up there anyway, hehe!) So I always feel a bit self-conscious about wearing one in public.

@zwol@masto.hackers.town The front looks like a mini aero semi! I love it.

@Redfuchs@furries.club Oh damn that's lovely. Love the totally normal non-actively-blatantly-lewd sheath. =^.^=

@stefan@stefanbohacek.online ...uh...? Whatever parts of fedi you're on are NOT the parts of fedi we're on.

@witchgirls@woof.tech Cool idea! Swift is sorta kinda like this already; it just doesn't have a GC though, it uses reference counting instead. Objective-C actually had some kind of memory pool concept [NSAutoreleasePool!] Yeah that was it! and yeah. I miss ObjC.

@gamingonlinux@mastodon.social Nah, just the cyberfoxes talking.

@randomvangloboii@dragonchat.org YOU　　　　WOULDN'T 　　　　STOMACH 　　A　　　JOKE

@fennek@bark.lgbt Can you write HTML, or are willing to learn? It's not as complicated as it's often made out to be, it's just a markup language (like markdown is) but fancier! Anyway if so, that opens up your options a LOT. Neocities or basically any web host that lets you upload files (like, not a VPS provider like us turbonerds use).

@Devourer_ITA@meow.social They fucking did. It's obnoxious.

@francis@furry.engineer Hey welcome!! It's a great place here. Glad to have you!

@bstacey@icosahedron.website Does your boosted stuff not usually go to your own timeline immediately? Huh! I forgot some people have bucketloads of followers they don't follow back. When my stuff gets boosted it's usually by a friend I'm mutuals with, heh.

@wordshaper@weatherishappening.network also like!! it's not like you can pick your coworkers! And being able to pick your friends is pretty fucking important.

@glynwolf@tiggi.es Eh? I kinda agree with the critter downthread who says the actual math doesn't define this and it's purely notation conventions. 18 ÷ 3 x 2 is in fact ambiguous unless you have a precedence rule telling you what exactly it's supposed to mean (and to be fair, there often is).

@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net !! Unfortunately not H.264 though... I'm really waiting for that.

@Misofist@girlcock.club Yeeeesh. We don't have a Bluray drive (have been wanting to get one for ages, but they're a little pricey). Do we have to look for specific models of drive to be able to put LibreDrive on it?

@gildilinie@beige.party yeah I'm always like the CLIs that have been around for the entire time are what the LLM people WISH they had. Tell the computer what to do, but it's predictable and does what you say, every time.

@stefan@stefanbohacek.online @gfsc@sunbeam.city ah, the "the fediverse is racist!" thing yeah it's entirely possible some other part of the network we're not running into is racist (we're in a furry bubble and haven't run into that) I hope this isn't about the whole "thebadspace" #-fediblock nonsense, because /that's/ definitely just "I'm gonna call anyone who disagrees with me racist". That doesn't mean there isn't actual racism elsewhere, of course, if this is about something else. But it kinda poisoned the whole discourse IMO.

@SallyStrange@eldritch.cafe Got any good ones with /real/ nonhuman, non-bipedal animal characters? We need more of that too. (More of that in furry in general, honestly. Everyone assumes everyone else is anthro by definition...)

@konstruct@woof.tech so like HTML: hit "view source" or open the inspector and have a look. that's HTML. It's a document format, you can actually write documents in it (and view them with a web browser), our resume is an HTML document HTTP: you know the http:// in the address bar? yeah. HTTP is how you ask a website to give you a page, or a file, or a "file" that doesn't really exist and just returns useful info the server knows, or whatever.

@witchgirls@woof.tech The Perl people seem pretty chill? I think the guy who made Ruby is probably also alright, though I don't actually know for sure; _not_ the Ruby on Rails guy though, HE'S a certified asshole (it's a good thing Ruby isn't /just/ Rails but you wouldn't know it from how people talk about it)

@ryan@m29.us You can still remove the branding without paying, right? 'Cause I could see running Anubis on our sites but I'd want nonhuman wolf branding instead of basically-human catgirls, hehe. Possibly even /less/ socially acceptable! But still different. I wonder why companies don't just do that too. I guess paying is easier or just the non-catgirl version is easier to bring up to your boss.

@konstruct@woof.tech fancy middle manager term for an HTTP API that doesn't use HTML, even though it originally meant the EXACT OPPOSITE and was all about reader-meaningful HTML pages where you would click on a link for the thing you wanted

@glynwolf@tiggi.es I didn't read the whole thing they linked downthread no I'm talkin' about https://tech.lgbt/@erisceleste/117014112392023808

@ret@furry.engineer Is there someone wanting less??

@quasirealsmiths@beige.party Definitely agree with the "somehow" in the image description. If a thing that's /literally on rails/ runs into you like that, it's kinda your fault. :3

@stefan@stefanbohacek.online @gfsc@sunbeam.city Nah. Who it's including: furries, therians, other assorted queer critters, and other marginalized critters Who it's excluding: People who think corporate-backed things are inherently better, I guess? Fedi is not "just a technological toy for computer programmers". Lots of non-techie critters hang out here too. Sure, to RUN A SERVER you kinda need sysadmin knowledge, but that's true for literally ANY server, and it's true for the likes of Bluesky too, they just make it impossible to run your own server for it and it's actually possible to do so for fedi. You don't need to run your own server to participate, that's the whole point of joining an established instance. Fedi does not need to "become a transformative social network", whateverthefuck that means. It already has people on it. It already has a culture. It's already doing fine.

PSA to app/website developers: Please never autolink URLs unless they have a scheme on the front, http://, https://, ftp://, whatever. We need to be able to TALK about a domain without LINKING to it. (This is particularly important for federated systems like here where talking about a different instance/server is a regular occurrence. Mastodon is good about this. Matrix (federated chat platform) not so much.)

... huh is https://eriknorlander.bandcamp.com/track/after-the-revolution-studio-2010 using fretless guitar? or just lots of slides/bends/vibrato on regular?

@lucybarky@floofy.tech *microphone button bouncing up and down begging you to click on it so it can spring some "AI" nonsense on you*

@witchgirls@woof.tech also *looks up Andrew Kelly* oof, Zig? I was kinda interestedly eyeing it, welp :< (bounced off it HARD when they were like "oh we'll support tabs /eventually/ but we just ban them for now because oh we don't care enough to implement them' when like. it's /easier/ than spaces. that's not an excuse. supposedly it deigns to let you use your preferred indentation format now though)

@GroupNebula563@mastodon.social Aaagh!

@storm@swingset.social @mfitts@woof.tech @kde@floss.social I'm pretty sure there's no maximum size, so you just gotta shake it more!

@Rhew@gulp.cafe Yeah tech is FUUUUCKED right now. Maybe try for it _after_ the "AI" bubble implodes and people care about quality or really just _anything_ that isn't slop hype again.
