Test result shown: Your Delta E OK JND: 0.0038. You're seeing differences that most colour scientists would call noise. If you're not already calibrating displays for a living, you're leaving money on the table.
Eh. Some I literally couldn't figure out XD
But his brain already does that
Hurry up Steam Frame x3
I wish I could sleep in
What is up with the tsunami of untagged NSFW on here over the past couple days?
Please tag your art/images appropriately thanks
USA folk, you need to annoy these assholes as much as you can. this bill is not to protect children. they want to erase transgender people from public life and classify them as degenerate content in the internet. we will not be seen or heard. they want our *existence* to be a sex offense.

Devastated by Snap E. Tiger’s passing. His personality & kindness matched his larger than life stature.
I commissioned him for my first alt Kato in 2009, jump starting ByCats4Cats which created hundreds of amazing works of wearable art. His legacy will live on through them forever.
Rest In Peace 🐯
A sad day for the furry community.
It has been informed by his husband Thor that last night, Eric “Snapcat” Stevens AKA @bycats4cats.bsky.social unfortunately passed away from a heart attack.
I have no words for this loss and my friend Snap will be very sorely missed.
💜💛💚❤️💙
ByCats4Cats/Snapcat will be missed dearly. Had a suit from him a long time ago and it was very well made.
I love that music is getting more and more of a prominent spotlight as time goes on.
Live orchestral ensemble performances are such a breathtaking experience, and I'm blown away by how much talent there is in the fandom!!!
If you're going to Eurofurence, please consider being a part of this!!
In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.
This is what happens when you let the idea of numbers and growth overshadow genuine human connection.
Your viewbotting is not and will never be real, and if we lived in a sane reality should probably constitute fraud or at least get an account permanently banned.
Promote real people, Not this slop
Publicly, Sam Altman claimed OpenAI is amending its agreement with the Department of Defense(lies). Behind closed doors, however, he told employees during a Tuesday all-hands meeting that the company doesn’t “get to make operational decisions” about how its AI technology is used by the DoD. #QuitGPT
I mean, I always knew that US Christian nationalism is, effectively, a death cult, but to hear the quiet part said out loud is hella weird.
Aaaa. I just saw my VF 2023 photos pop up and it got me thinking of that con. Maybe I'll have to make a trip back out there one day, I'm just so busy with everything else ;-;
I will bark at anyone who ever denies you your pure puppy energy! Also, congrats on the weight loss :D
If you view the actual listing in Google Maps for the Gulf, the first search result that pops up is Wikipedia's entry on the GULF OF MEXICO. Second is a Reddit post about how the name could actually be changed, and third is the .gov site that announced the change.
I’m sorry ma’am, but we lost your boy to a squirter.
Congrats @ahty.bsky.social, @caigan.bsky.social, @mochanutkins.bsky.social, @peanutpaws.bsky.social and all the other cool beans :D
A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

Yes.
If you're a member of the furry fandom who uses your platform to incite bullying and harassment towards other furries who have innocuous kinks and lifestyles-
Leave the fandom.
Get out.
You're a fascistic puritan and your presence in the fandom harms the rest of us. Be toxic elsewhere.
Leave.
NOW is the time to make calls to your reps about KOSA, SCREEN act, section 230 and more
Call your legislators. Speak to office aides. Leave messages. Do so every day. Be loud and annoying. Get family and friends to join in.

What We're Changing Right Now We heard you, and we want to get this right. So here's what's happening: We’re delaying our global rollout to the second half of 2026. Where we have legal obligations, we will continue to meet them, but we will only expand globally after we've done the following: 1. Adding more verification options. We already had alternatives in development, including credit card verification. We’ll complete and expand those before scaling globally so you have more options you’re comfortable with. 2. Vendor transparency. We’ll document every verification vendor and their practices on our website, and make it clear in the product who each vendor is. We’ve also set a new requirement: any partner offering facial age estimation must perform it entirely on-device. If they don’t meet that bar, we won’t work with them. 3. A new spoiler channel option. We know many communities use age-restricted channels not for adult content, but for topics people prefer to engage with on their own terms: spoilers, politics, and heavier conversations. We’re building a dedicated spoiler channel option so communities don’t have to age-gate their server just to give members that choice. 4. A technical blog post before global launch. We’ll publish a detailed post explaining how our automatic age determination systems work, including the signal categories and privacy constraints. So you can evaluate our approach for yourselves. 5. Age assurance data in our transparency reports. We’ll include how many users were asked to verify, what methods they used, and how often our automated systems handled it without any user action.
What We're Actually Trying to Do Our goal is straightforward: keep the Discord experience completely unchanged for the vast majority of people while ensuring an age-appropriate experience for everyone. Over 90% of users will never need to verify their age to continue using Discord exactly as they do today. This is powered in part by our internal safety systems, which can already make an age determination for many adult users without any user action. We'll publish the methodology behind this in a technical blog post before we launch globally. We know many of you believe the right answer is not to do this at all. We hear you. We also know these changes carry different weight for different communities, and that for some, questions of privacy and identity aren't just preferences but safety concerns shaped by real experience. That's not lost on us, and it directly informs the choices we're making. We also know, from running this platform for more than 10 years, that teens need real safeguards. The number of teenagers on Discord has significantly increased since the pandemic, and they deserve an experience appropriate to their age. At the same time, we believe adults should be able to have a full content experience on Discord. Doing both responsibly means having safeguards that help ensure age-restricted content stays in adult spaces. But the specific way age assurance works (the verification methods, the compliance requirements) is being shaped by legislation already in effect in the UK and Australia, with Brazil quick to follow, and Europe and multiple US states close behind. By building this ourselves, we can show regulators that it's possible to verify age without collecting identity.
Here's what that looks like in practice: For 90%+ of users, nothing changes. Most users never access age-restricted content or change their default safety settings. For those who do, we have an internal system that works to accurately determine your age. Discord already runs safety systems that catch spam rings, prevent raids, and detect coordinated abuse, powered by our rules engine (which we just open sourced as Osprey for other platforms to use). Age determination works the same way, using the same category of account-level signals: how long your account has existed, whether you have a payment method on file, what types of servers you're in, and general patterns of account activity. It does not read your messages, analyze your conversations, or look at the content you post. We know "trust us" isn't enough here, which is why we'll publish the methodology before global launch. If you're among the less than 10% of users who do need to verify, we'll give you options, designed to tell us only your age and never your identity. And if you choose not to verify, here’s exactly what happens: you keep your account, your servers, your friends list, your DMs, and voice chat. The only thing that changes is you won't be able to access age-restricted content or change certain default safety settings designed to protect teens. Nothing else about your Discord experience changes. Your age group is private. No other user on Discord can see it.
So Discord is doubling down. No surprises here.
Their age verification rollout bullshit is delayed to the second half of the year.
