Hi! I ran away from the internet for a while and got into fountain pens and watercolor 🎨
I have a nerdy tech query that's probably going to be over my head. I have a 10 year old piece of music tech that has an app to control some functions via Bluetooth. The app was optimised for Android and IOS devices circa 2016, and doesn't work correctly on later Android revisions (1/2)
Huh, so after I made a midly critical post about a particular con yesterday, someone who appears to be a director (who wasn't tagged or following) made a bunch of vaguely passive aggressive replies and then blocked everyone critical, in the middle of the night. Odd behaviour.
So, the first UK furry event to make a statement on the Meta pervert glasses, and it's to *explicitly permit* them, with a caveat about not recording in non-photography areas? Guess who...
You know it's a successful sighthound meetup when all your photos are either motion blur or a pack of hounds chasing in big circles far across the field.
Guitar and stringed instrument players; is anyone else irrationally nervy about tuning strings the last little bit up to pitch, after dropping them for alternate tunings? I've played for 30+ years, but I still involuntarily wince and turn my face away while I do it!
Hmm, new Furcation COC that regulates the acceptable length of shorts, that's a new one on me. Also the first COC I've seen that specifically forbids gunge - there has to be a story there...
It's got to be non-ideal when this is the first you hear of a new event. Is it even real?
Amethyst Mare - COMMISSIONS OPEN 🏳️🌈➡️ Aberacon@amethystmare.bsky.social · 2mo agoApparently these gen AI "images" are related to a new furry con coming to cornwall. And respectfully, or less than, you need to get your shit together and use an artist. It's not hard. Or even a stock image/placeholder, anything but AI.
Genuinely baffled by local fur chats today, where an immature 20yo who shows up to meets dressed in tactical gear and another who had to be talked down from wearing an Iron Cross decided I'm a tory, which appears to mean "person who criticised my friends actions". How do you even respond to that?
A small group of Scottish furries are continuing to corncob about their involvement in a Channel 4 documentary that multiple groups and events around the UK had rejected. The hubris coming from them is ridiculous.
Possibly my most Scottish trait is that I am rendered helpless sniggering at the word Jobby every time

Some camping dog photos. He schlorped from rivers, sniffed after beavers, snoozed in novel places and was good and gentle with younger family members, so a good weekend.
Finally got around to looking up Channel 4's Untold series (been doing much less online things all weekend). How did anyone think this would be a good thing to bring to the local furry community? Do people just get giddy at the idea of being involved in big telly?
Can we put the phrase "community leaders" to bed once and for all? Meet organisers do not lead us, group admins do not lead us, and nor do con chairs.
Much love to @furtherecord.bsky.social for having me ease everyone in with a little opening set. Here's a bit of echo-augmented Sumer Is Icumen In, which seemed seasonally appropriate, not to mention wanting to channel the vibe of the islanders from The Wicker Man (1972) 📷 @catkin.bsky.social

Confuzzled looked great this year, I'd love to be able to afford it and take the time away one year, but that's pipe dream territory.
