Hey all, I've had a couple people asking me about dotFurry since I happen to be in the photo. I am not involved whatsoever, I'm just in the photo because I helped Pawprint Prototyping load and unload their booth at OpenSauce and they were super cool and tugged me into the photo with them. 
That said, the animals involved in the project are all awesome and I know they've been super excited about bringing the .furry TLD to the fandom. If having a dedicated furry TLD sounds cool to you and you have the resources to help out, ya totally should. 
You can check out or reach out to @dotfurry@furry.engineer if you wanna learn more.

#dotFurry #FurryTLDI'm still pretty upset that furries largely chose Bluesky over Fedi, and Bluesky's decision to start haphazardly banning babyfurs is the main reason why. :drgn_thinking: Bluesky doesn't understand the intricacies of furries to moderate them, especially our various subcultures. The benefit of Mastodon et al. is that the servers are managed by people from your subculture.
A lot of my reservations about Bluesky being a Twitter 2.0 were hand-waved away because ATProto (the protocol Bluesky is built on) is federated like ActivityPub (the protocol the Fediverse/Mastodon is built on). ATProto is federated, yes, but it's not a protocol that promotes community-building like ActivityPub does. ATProto is a workbench for building out large monolithic social networks, instead of the tapestry of communities that make up the Fediverse. ATProto seems to focus on individual data sovereignty, while the Fediverse is focused on community sovereignty. Unfortunately, yes, that makes the Fediverse a little harder to use than ATProto AppViews, but ultimately I think it's worth it.
I dunno. I've rambled about this kind of thing a lot of times in the past, sorry I keep bringing it up. :soft_shrug: Just something I enjoy thinking about.

I'm really leery of the new blocklist sharing feature being proposed as part of Masotdon's Sovereign Tech Agency funding. While I'm excited Mastodon is receiving an STF grant, blocklist abuse has been a recurring issue and I'm not eager to see it codified in the admin interface.
For those that weren't here a few years back, Mastodon has a pretty ugly history with blocklists. They've been repeatedly used to block sex positivity, kink, and LGBTQ+ content. While I agree there are a lot of really bad servers on the Fediverse, I'm nervous that blocklist sharing will lead to the same kinds of censorship we saw a few years back. Plus, and no shade to the people who use it, but the Fediblock hashtag has a lot of posts from people who operate on little to no proof of their claims, or who just want to abuse it.
To be totally honest though, my hangup with blocklists comes from the fact that CubHub still has to deal with being suspended by a lot of servers from a bad blocklist. We were wrongfully flagged because someone didn't bother to check our About page that clearly states we do not allow porn of under-age characters, because stupid people think "cub" automatically means cub porn. :blobfoxdisapprove: It doesn't.
So yeah, I dunno. The other proposals look interesting, and, while I've never been one to think we really need E2EE on private messages and who thought it'd just introduce a lot of friction for users, I'm not opposed to it if they can get the UX of it working well.
Whoever engineered the "Sign In With Google" pop-up that appears incessantly across the Internet deserves to be thrown into the sea. :neodog_what: Every ad blocker should block it by default.
Getting back into Python and, like, there's so much weirdness about it that I forgot. Since when are variables not scoped to blocks???

I just tossed a developer some GitHub sponsor money and they added a bunch of feature requests I asked for and I feel kinda awkward about it :wlfThink: I don't want to come across, like, "hey you did this thing for me so here's your payment," but also I want them to know I appreciate it. :xenia_bottom:
Am I overthinking?
Anyone got any theories on where the final episode is headed? :wolf_peek:
I personally buy into the SOMA theory for the show. I think all the characters are just virtual copies made by the VR headset, so they're never going to be able to get out. It tracks with the fact that there's a "brainscans" folder where the humans are stored in .dat files, it makes sense with Scratch having had a brain tumor since he'd want to scan himself to live forever, and the way Kinger reacted to Abel by saying it doesn't make sense that they could get out, all points to them being virtual copies.
It'd be a pretty dark ending but honestly that fits with the show.
That said, I'm curious what other theories people have :soft_reach:

Like, I'm not that little jerk anymore, I grew as a personFlatpak really ought to have a fuzzy search built into the flatpak run command as an argument It'd go a long way into making the reverse-DNS (and case sensitive for some reason??) names more palatable. As it is I have alias flatfind='flatpak list --app | fzf -q' sitting in my zshrc just to be able to find any of em.
"Launching flatpaks from a command line isn't a core consideration." Well it should be, it's fuckin' Linux, mate. 
Maybe I'll give Fuzzpak a go or something.

Hey, does anyone know the rules for Tri-Peaks? I'm trying to learn on the new Solitaire for GNOME and I thought aces could take either a 2 or a King, but it's not letting me do it. Is it a bug or am I just misunderstanding the rules?

@foxyoreos@gulp.cafe Ohhh I see whacha mean, yeah that would be insanely useful :ablobcateyesflip:
Replying to
@foxyoreos@gulp.cafe I want a Mastodon feature that removes a server from your discovery tools like the federated timeline and hashtag lookup, but without limiting every account. I hate how heavy-handed the server limiting is.
Like, have the Suspend, Limit, Quiet (what I'm proposing), and Mark Sensitive. I don't get why we only have Suspend and Limit. :blobfoxsipglare:
I feel like the filtering is mostly okay though. What would regular expressions add over the existing word filter? :wolf_peek:
Replying to
@foxyoreos@gulp.cafe I'd imagine because we don't require CWs on diaper pictures and blocking our server's media seemed less invasive than a full on limit.

@pastelexuvia I think the torment daemon was Caine's daemon and Kinger was trying to inject GreenGrounds into it. I'd imagine that was the daemon Caine was using after he snapped and started more intentionally tormenting the main cast. From what I can see GreenGrounds initiated a system fallback to ensure stability and Kinger couldn't override the fallback because he didn't know the password, then when it offered him a fallback option his input wasn't parsed as being valid, so it opted to delete Caine instead. I kinda wonder if Caine's constant intrusions messed up Kinger's text buffer. Kinger looked like he was just trying to swap out the torment daemon with a different program but when he was in the middle of that, it offered to delete Caine entirely, and Kinger fat fingered the DEL key instead of the backspace key.
But yeah, it's super hard to tell because the console is a pain in the ass to read. Thanks a lot Caine and Bubble :neodog_what:
Replying to
@pastelexuvia I don't really get why Bubble's data file is called bubble_chef. Bubble definitely seems like more of an elevated NPC that Caine was projecting onto, but maybe those projections were remnants of Abel. :meowshrug:
That said, the one thing that doesn't add up to me is who was talking to Kinger through the console. Caine seemed unaware of Kinger trying to break in, so either the safeguard program Kinger was trying to circumvent was a separate autonomous runtime, or there's another AI lingering in the system. The whole, "I must hand it to you Grant, your mind was always resourceful" didn't feel like Caine at all and felt really foreboding. :blobfoxsweating:

@zvavybir The fact that they deleted Caine does seem to indicate that they matter at least a little bit though The fact that they were able to change a supposedly unchanging world means that they do matter more than the themes of the plot would initially indicate. So I'm very curious where they go from here.

@WeirdAlex03 Yeah I'm super curious where it's going to go. It definitely seems like Bubble is probably the remnants of the 'Abel' AI in some way, since he doesn't disappear when Caine blipped out of existence and seems to know a lot more than an NPC should. That said, I feel like Gooseworx kinda had Caine set up to be the big bad, like a zany version of AM from I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, so I'd be a little bummed if there was an even bigger bad or something else behind Caine. :blobfoxthinkgoogly:

@nyxallocer I'm trying to figure out if their memories of the real world are actually as shallow as they appear or if the narrative is just moving so fast that they haven't really had a chance to discuss it. I think the brain scans were actually probably pretty deep, and anything they're missing like their names or other memories were probably a result of Caine messing with them.
I'm not sure exactly how they're going to end it. Maybe they'll escape to the internet where the *true* horrors exist. But honestly I think it'll probably just be them accepting their fate and learning how to conjure in the digital world to make it palatable to live there with the option to delete themselves down the line. I'm curious if Kinger can, I dunno, clear the cache I guess? on the .dat files for the other players and revert them from being abstracted.

@odoben That seems to be the general consensus :blobfoxthinkgoogly: Although looking at my .zshrc there's a lot more platform-specific stuff in there than I thought.

@odoben @chirpbirb Sometimes I want to pass in arguments to a Flatpak app, open a file using admin:// so I can edit it as root, or troubleshoot why an app is spitting out an error by seeing the terminal output.
Also, you can have Flatpak CLI applications, they're just more rare.
