The video itself is kinda interesting, it goes into the early days of "Web 2.0" and the decline of that code open-ness due to the ever evolving nature of the internet.

Mood.

I wanna commission more art of dragon me.
... I also wanna be Amaterasu again...

Thinking about scenarios involving my massive macro scale make me feel fuzzy and happy...

I really am very big. @ -@ Maybe not, city-destructive, since it seems that cities have truly massive buildings, but when I think about relative scale to other things and the more common size of dragons it just kinda makes me all... hh, aaa <3 *tailthump*

Been to the dentist, had my puffy inflatable teeth polished and poked, all eight of them. They're all good, it seems~.

Just imagine a giant toy dragon head poking into a dentist's room...

Back when all my friends were on IRC, some of us used mIRC and some were on Trillian.

If you set your text colour to black on Trillian it would be black on mIRC - not the "default colour". So anyone with a black bg would see your text as black on black. I ended up switching to mIRC later myself to have alias commands for RPing and to avoid these colour problems.

Basically what I'm trying to say is that, even in the mid-00s we had to all use the same software and clients for things and the fact we are all now on Discord changes nothing. The pattern of walled-garden design remains consistent across time.

I think my appreciation of the pear body type aesthetic has increased since being a dragon... even if I'm a feral dragon...

It's incredibly fucking frustrating how impossible it is to report ERPing art thieves on Twitter.

DMCAs doxx you, impersonation expects legal documentation.

I just want to get through to someone on their report team that actually understands furry impersonation goddammit.

I want more art of dragon toy me... who can I toss money at...

Feral posture is good posture. Best to stand tall on all fours.

As I said before, I suppose that because the plot focuses more on down-to-earth drama and the consequences of transformation ability, I've never entirely considered things like... exactly how wide-spread the Daemon App is, how many would use it, and the consequences from so many furries becoming their fursonas, or the like.

One character arc deals in her using the Daemon App as an escape from body troubles and running into conflict with someone using it for terror and mischief, fearing bad actors will mean regulation of the app. Beyond that, I haven't really thought about it.

I mean, I live in the countryside, in a country with about five million people. I don't really think about the sheer numbers other places have~.

Regarding my previous post from r/tf_irl, here is how things are in said project... at the moment:

• On New Years Day 2018 at the stroke of midnight, a message appears to everyone on every service: "I am." This message comes through as a text, Twitter DM, social media PM, Discord message, etc. It's everywhere.
• Some people also receive a mysterious app on their smartphones called the Daemon App. If more people know you as a non-human being than your IRL self, this app allows you to become that non-human people know you as. (And change back.)
• This app will stop working should that proportion change.
• Meanwhile, the main protagonist is isekai'd away into a post-post-apocalyptic future of the year 12000, where humans are long extinct and non-human furries and mythical beings live in a twisted structure known as The Tower.
• The plot focuses around the protagonist switching consciousness between the Modern World dealing with mysteries/drama around the transformation app, and The Tower where the resident daemons are learning about the old world.

Actually the current plot has the transformation much more constrained, maybe a few thousand at best, and only in NZ.

But the fact remains there should probably be a strong media presence of the chaos that would ensue from people turning into their fursonas... it's just the plot is mostly focused on interpersonal drama, so I've not often considered the broader chaos to have that big an impact...

Wait a sec this is just the plot to my visual novel project.

The end-user has a moral imperative to use an adblocker and avoid interacting with advertising and metrics.

The entire advertising industry (and those complicit in it, like social media) is either morally corrupt in its data collection, or delusional in the effectiveness of its own metrics.

Besides the fact that millions of people are getting gender/racial/economically profiled by corporations without their knowing on an international scale, it just sucks to be treated like you're purely eyeballs to sell things to.

If people don't fight against the capitalist structure, then the walls of billboards will continue to close in on us.

I wonder how many pear dragon appreciation awakenings Dragon Quest had on people...

Pear dragon is such a good shape. I wonder why that is...

dergn...
