Obligatory #BowserDay art, featuring the primary drawback of a more or less spherical inflatable suit with thick limbs. Inflated tight, the suit will leave the wearer trapped on their back. (This happened to me with the werewolf suit, it just isn’t mobile enough to recover in if you trip.) #inflatable #bowser #furryart #wip

@martaczc @Jeroen89 I think it is, it has that weird overdetailed cartoon style that gets more wrong the more you look at it. Frustrating how the slop just seems to colonize every space…

@Kathmandu @Jer @cstross @isaackuo Or that it won’t affect them. It couldn’t possibly affect them. They are members of the managerial caste/business idiots.

@aetus Yes, the environment most people exist in *is* that corrosive to attention span and consciously resisting or disengaging from it is incredibly difficult.

@veronica@explains.social Privacy shouldn’t be the difficult, exhausting, ever-shifting minefield that it is.

@f4grx @cassolotl There were a series of fires reported in the news, and I’ve seen my aunt’s akita engage the stove’s front panel touch controls when trying to get at tasty things on top of the counters…

@xoagray@tiggi.es It’s The Blob. Consuming all materials and energy to make more of itself…

@Viss Given the panel titles and abstracts at IEEE PES convention in Chicago next week, I'm wondering how much of a nastygram my survey response is going to turn into. (There are a few things on protective relaying for inverter-based resources, but everything else is tech buzzword bingo slop.)

@KayOhtie@blimps.xyz Ooh, pretty…

@aetus The local HVAC service place I use switched all their answering systems over to it, it’s completely incompetent.

@docpop Inspired: Natto-Kun?

@aetus The normies aren’t normal about that at all. I’m not sure what can be done.

@foolishowl @thibaultamartin Shadowy Figure: “We will give you *fat stacks* of *untraceable cabbage* if you’ll include our *product* as an opt-out in your software.” There’s got to be bribery or blackmail going on.

@DizzyTheVoid This needs to be written and canonized.

@gcvsa@mstdn.plus @nikitonsky@mastodon.online “We had to make rank (lots of pointless change for the sake of looking productive to the managerial caste) or get yanked.”

@f4grx @cassolotl Heating and cooking appliances need a good mechanical detent to keep them from being accidentally engaged. (The challenge is not making it too hard for elderly hands.)

@strdst “The meth made you…unpleasant, we’ll try a blend of speed.”

@cassolotl Dogs can inadvertently activate those whizzy touch controls, you know…

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org It was probably difficult to resist casting “power word: sap” on the guy.

@fell@ma.fellr.net @davidrevoy@framapiaf.org Well, the amphora certainly has had a lot of books and arcane material dumped into it…

@kawentzmann@fairmove.net @richpuchalsky@mastodon.social Hopefully, but we'll probably also see something similar to the forum backdating stuff trying to take advantage of it...

@alilly@solarpunk.moe “We’ll make sure you can’t miss the cursor!” I remember a joke program from many years ago that billed itself as “cursor enhancement software”.

@JHB17@mastodon.online @WGAvanDijk@mastodon.social We need assertive responses to the attempts to manufacture consent for the attempts to reheat WP Green (Mexico) and Crimson (Canada), too.

@rperezrosario@mastodon.social MacOS, with a healthy side of Linux on the laptop. If CELSYS would port CSP…

@WeShall@universeodon.com @resuna@ohai.social The thought of various life-critical infrastructure systems designed and built as if they were a dodgy mobile app that only had to work well enough to hoodwink VC investors keeps me awake at night.

@resuna@ohai.social I’m worried about how this attitude is spreading through the engineering profession too.

@Ortie@corneill.es I think Boulet called it "formicapunk".

@jonny@neuromatch.social I think most platforms and the public net as a whole will probably choke on sludge and disinformation before then…

@dgar@aus.social Me: “So the shape of the planet is by decree?”

@Brit_In_Moldova@toot.community Do your best to outlive him, even if you’re running on spite alone. Deny him and his followers victory.

@czwolf "You are a HUMAN MAN navigating every day life, dating, bus etiquette, and other important human concerns. You are definitely NOT A WOLF. "

@DosFox It just needs a pizza box-style case in that classic beige color…

@tilton Or anything, it feels like most of the panel abstracts at the power conference are "AI" this and "datacenter" that or so encrusted with related buzzwords that you wonder if humans had any hand in this other than presenting the slop.

@CheRosach@mastodonapp.uk Reducing light pollution and keeping the murder floof indoors should be fairly straightforward. The former reduces power consumption too, a win-win scenario.
