I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.

Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights.
Block, and move on.

This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

Made it even easier to see if you have this and access it if you do! Copy this into either your web browser or File Explorer address bar. It will take you right to that screenshot (or if it takes you to the main Settings window, you don't have that screen yet.)

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

The decline of third spaces and hangouts, such as malls, video rental places, arcades & skate parks has been a direct result of the rise of convenience and has also been objectively bad for society as a whole. Its not that everyone HAS to socialize, but having no option to without bars is a failing.

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

I don’t like the ephemeral way dubbing is treated, to the point where you have to justify their mere continued existence

This is not a matter of preference, taste, or even accessibility. Dubs are unique presentations of media with often rich histories. They require serious analyses and preservation

Reminder: aroace people can still have relationships, and having one doesn't invalidate your aroace status 💖 sincerely: an aroace person who has been in relationships in the past.

Seeing a lot of "No Kings" protests groups using AI images lately

You aren't resisting fascism by using their tools

I am once again tapping the sign that reminds you that people are allowed to do things, have hobbies, make art, play games, and be bad at them.

Capitalism requires you to be a good at a thing or not do it. Ableism requires that. Racisms requires that. Just let people fuck around with paints or w/e

So THEN I had to go out on stage and do a completely improvised performance in a full fursuit save for the feet which were ballet slippers and for some reason I was convinced this also had to be a 100% fully convincing ballet piece, to an upbeat song 😂

ゆ・Yu Puffin @yupuffin.bsky.social · 9d

For this one I somehow had the 2014 version of my fursuit back and was like ??? how does this still exist bc even the 2019 one is gone but I just went with it and then the feetpaws fell apart while I was putting them on so someone backstage lent me their ballet slippers??
