i think things really started going downhill once it became mainstream to say "social media" instead of "a website" or even just "online"

there is nothing ambiguous about "i posted it online" and certainly nothing extra added by "i posted it on social media", except perhaps the oily sensation i get from the latter sentence

we need to stop letting our lexicon be defined by marketers

WebGPU, the new graphics API for JavaScript, shipped in a stable web browser (Chrome 113) about… an hour ago!

I have written a blog post about it, covering a brief (okay, not brief) history of graphics APIs to ~situate WebGPU in a context~, a brief general guide to writing WebGPU, and some specific resources for making WebGPU projects in TypeScript, Rust, and C++ (you can use it on desktop! it doesn't have to be in a browser).

I think WebGPU is really good.

I still think about this clip from @TechConnectify from time to time

Every letter in the English language can be silent if you just shut the fuck up

Is your plushie cuter that this? I accept and expect photo evidence.

I'm going to increase my personal commission prices (significantly) on Monday - so I guess they're technically 'on sale' at the moment, and have a estimated delivery time of June.

Here's a couple of recent ones i've done!

Dear furries and the furry-adjacent,

This is your periodic reminder that the artist Ken Sample - also known as Ken Cougr - is widely credited as having invented the very concept of a fursona, and that he is a Black man.

This is also your periodic reminder that non-heterosexual, non-cisgender people have been a significant part of the furry fandom for as long as the fandom has had a coherent name for itself, and that the fandom has a long and brilliant history of trans people finding themselves through the exploration of self the furry fandom offers. Mockery of the furry fandom, therefore, is very frequently used as a cover for the hateful assholes of the world to harass LGBTQIA+ people - "furry isn't a protected class" being the most commonly-claimed justification.

Nazi furs fuck off.

what the hell, how come nobody told me one of my favorite text adventures got a commercial remake in 2018 https://store.steampowered.com/app/726870/Anchorhead/

We report: distant clouds are catching the sunshine in its last rays. Lately, the days have grown to be so much longer at both ends. This morning, our bedroom was bathed in grey light long before we needed to get up, and now, though it is late, the sun clings to the horizon.
