BOLOID

I was impressed too.

I bought a fake Casio watch recently, you can tell because of (among other things) the quality of the samller letters. It's hard to print small.

But these guys did it. This broken english is printed with impeccable quality.

You've figured it out

Lemmy is a Reddit clone, Mastodon is a Twitter clone; these are very different types of post in terms of formatting and intended function and such. Honestly, i don't think they should be so connected.

When reading your title i thought you were talking about how different instances may not communicate, that one i would agree and i think it's a problem

I missed that somehow!

It has an OSU! logo so you know it's the real deal

Where is this?

generally what makes insects creepy is long thin legs and scary mandibles. those that don't have these features can be really cute. bonus points if they're fluffy.

then again creepy can be cool depending on presentation

That's true in most cases, but i've had a lot more success posting stuff to my furry-specific Mastodon instance than posting hte same thing to generic Twitter and Bluesky. So there's something to the ability to have a specific audience.

But i genuinely have an issue when i go to upvote or reply and it tells me that i'm not logged in, and that's when i find out that i've accidentally left my instance and am not logged in anymore. That kind of thing shouldn't happen at all, it shouldn't be this easy to accidentally land in a different instance.

One Lemmy and one Mastodon. I really like the fediverse promise of interoperability between instances, i hold it up to this promise, and i get annoyed when it fails.

According to the article, it's done for market research, i.e. finding out who buys what, which is a thing businesses like to know. But also apparently it allows the machine to generate "AI-powered product recommendations", which i guess means it tailors reccomendations to each user? Which it can do because it has a touch screen, and the touch screen itself already strikes me as full of shit.

That's what the article says this machine in particular does; but yes, it could totally change the price on you depending on what you look like, and all other kinds of deeply shady things. You can count on a private company to do that kind of thing and then use their favorite argument: it's technically legal.

There were going to be communities dedicated to talking animals on the internet, that much is certain. Just about everything else was shaped by early founders. Aside from the furry fandom's very existence which may be inevitable, every part of its shape and characteristics were laid by people like Sysable.

Bookmark them all. And then you sort by "most recent visit" so you see the artists you haven't checked out in a while

None of my family members know what a furry is and i'm keeping it that way.
