I don't like the new MegaLucarioZ design. He's just... meh. Too flashy, too much going on. I could tolerate MegaLucario, but the Z version is just too much.

Heads up .NET developers. I just discovered that Microsoft's Isolated Storage uses either a hash of your app's .exe path, or if your app is signed, uses a hash of your code signing cert to determine your assembly's Isolated Storage path. This means apps signed with the same cert HAVE THE SAME PATH!

Really Google AI? Really? Are you suuuure about that? Considering the first result under your assumption.

In #Resonite, the order of formatting commands are sometimes very important. did you know you can format text as "small caps", but using entirely lower case characters? Small caps, but not capitals.

"AaAa"

So, I've been playing with the #Resonite text rendering/formatting, and I've found some cursed things.

Supertext and subtext formats are cumulative. You can supertext things that are already supertexted, and they get double-supertexted.

I really really need you guys to make a conscious rejection of generative AI tools part of your ongoing political resistance.

Don't use ChatGPT. Turn off Gemini. Don't read the AI results forced upon you at the top of Google search. Don't use AI art generators or support anyone who does. Please.
Oh please please i am begging, don't use generative AI for any reason if you can avoid it.

It's being marketed as a quick time-saver, but it's messy, inaccurate, it is putting entire industries of people out of work, and the environmental impacts (energy and water usage) are huge and debilitating.

Doing dodgy things in #Resonite. :3 This is tantamount to a "Hello World" application. I write it from scratch, because there are no current guides out there for making ProtoFlux nodes.

Wow. As an Australian, we created Bluey. We produced Bluey. We consumed Bluey. But the Bluey Cristmas stream? "The uploader has not made this available in your country."

What. The. Actual?

Hi

The new NSFW button is called LABELS. It shows up when you put an image in a post.

Labeling your NSFW images makes them work with Bsky's built-in moderation system. You won't lose visibility because people who want to see NSFW have it turned on.

It's just considerate, that's all.

Cheers!

Can people, like, hashtag their political posts, so I can filter them out? I really don't want to see them.

I wonder what criteria there is for posts in the "Discover" tab to show up. It's literally 50% politics.

For the new nonfurry bluesky users who may be confused: Furries are a sign of a healthy online ecosystem. We flock to places of acceptance and safety. Think of us like digital wildlife. But funnier.
