Hey, I am learning about the Furry community and coming out of the Anthro closet as a Shork! Basking Shork to be specific, so be gentle…This is very much new for me. The Furry Pipeline is a curious thing, but thankfully got me to be more honest with myself about my Anthro leanings. Funny how I came out twice: Once as a homosexual man, and secondly as a whole Basking Shork. ROFL

My hobbies include: Gaming, Reading, Long Walks, Music, Manga, Attempting to learn how to Draw, Art Interest, learning the art of Programming starting with Python, Linux (as much as you could call it a hobby). Also have a thing about enjoying Necromancy and the Undead…I am a little weirdo, but such is life!

  • That’s interesting facts about shark. I heard that most of them wouldn’t hurt humans unless they are threatening them.

    Well, there are a few that you’d have to be concerned about like tiger sharks, bull sharks, oceanic white tips, occasionally great whites (if you happen to look like their preferred prey). Generally sharks don’t attack people unless it is mistaken identity, one acts as prey, or you invade a shark’s personal space and don’t know to back off in time. Others will eat just about anything because food is scarce or in the case of tiger sharks…They will literally just eat anything because their teeth aren’t specialized for any particular prey. Humans are on the menu, if said human is not careful.

    Oh I see, yeah, Cyberpunk 2077 seems to be a game with a lot of possibility as you can modify your body through the game.

    One thing that I love about Cyberpunk 2077 is the flexible nature of the character creator, it’s powerful and cool. Has a lot of nice choices for how you shape your actual in-game character. Even though, you never see your character outside of certain situations as this is a first-person game.

    I see, can be very annoying. Although, Infomaniak do have a commitment to climate and yet they still have their own AI chatbot.

    There is a thing called Greenwashing and I feel that Infomaniak is engaging in that, wouldn’t surprise me as this is one of the many tactics that corpos use to peddle their filth. Posteo actually gives a shit by being committed to not using AI at all, and not allowing users to use so called AI Agents with their service!

    There’s two different version of Bazzite from what I see, one of them have been vibecoded from the open-source code and the other, is, well, not vibe-coded apparently. That’s what I saw online.

    That is news to me, as they were put on a watch list about being slopped and there being no alternative…So that means, that I might need to investigate it. However, I couldn’t really use an immutable distro anyway. As common container dependencies that make it easier to run software in mini-distros…are slopped. Things like Podman, Docker, are using Claude and other chatbot prompt slop to develop. Which wouldn’t ever be needed with projects of their nature. It’s just tragic that they get a whiff of AI and are addicted.

    I only take an interest in politic once I get the posters to convince you to vote for someone. Otherwise I don’t care about it at all and prefer to avoid it.

    As much as I would prefer to ignore politics, that will catch up with me and others that I would want to be protected if I am not careful. So, I tend to participate by engaging reasonably and avoiding overwhelming myself. The nature of politics is woven deeply into human culture…It’s not something that can be ignored, without consequences as politics informs a lot of worldviews, workplace practices, even open source projects. Look at the wildfire spread of slop within the open source scene.


  • Never heard of this type of shark before, but in the shark category I’ve seen quite a lot of people use a shark / hybrid shark fursona. But anyway, welcome to the community.

    Basking Shark is rarely talked about, as they aren’t scary, they are gentle giants that only accidentally can hurt a diver. They tend to be very passive, dive deep, and breech the ocean’s surface like whales (for unknown reasons). A fascinating species as they are one of the few that are filter feeding sharks. Thank you for the warm welcome! I thought about being a hybrid, but found myself quickly realizing that I feel exclusively shorky (mostly a gentle giant).

    Good luck for your course, I hope you will like it. I didn’t know you could chose trans-man as a gender in Cyberpunk 2077.

    Well, it is more about emulating the trans man experience as he…Hasn’t had bottom surgery but top surgery that was the vibe that I was going for! You can choose mismatching gender expressions. But still be considered technically male or female.

    I saw this trend happening, I don’t know what to think about it. Why did you choose to changed fril Tuta to Posteo ?

    Tuta expressed an interest in AI and using it in the workflows, forgetting that programmers before them have used handwritten automation to automate boring repetition for other aspects of their project. They just want to use AI and I find that to be nasty AF. Posteo, because of their commitment to being Climate conscious, won’t ever have that heel turn. So I chose them instead.

    I use to have Lubuntu before switching back to Winslop (for academic reason), in the mean tile I tried different distros (mostsly Arch based) and when I recently switched back to Linux, I started with CachyOS before breaking everything and now I use Bazzite (I can’t be trusted with too much power).

    At the beginning of my journey, I learned to break stuff and fix it…So I can be trusted to use Garuda Linux Sway Edition, BTW (Arch-Based) it is less prone to breaking. Unlike CachyOS which is known (according to my Linux peeps I talk to regularly) to experience kernel panics and other weird issues. Bazzite is nice too, but they are liking the whiff of AI that they are getting. Which is a shame, I prefer to stay away from slopped distros. Right now, it’s a weird time for Linux. I hope we get through this rough patch.

    Oh nice, that’s a great job, especially considering that where I live only 40% of people actually vote. The main reason to why people don’t vote is because they don’t know who to vote for. Nice that things have been chill, it’s always a good time when nothing bad is happening.

    My small town/city is pretty chill so it isn’t often a target of tomfoolery…So the voting went smoothly, I happened to research everyone before going to vote because you can pull up sample ballots beforehand. I take my time and get informed…Because MAGA and GOP use uninformed voters as weapons. I do not want to be a weapon to be used. I will work against those types any day of the week.


  • Welcome to our cozy little community; glad you found us :) And please don’t hesitate to create own posts about whatever Furry related. Being the one mostly flooding this comm gets a bit awkward with time ':D [this message is also for everyone who reads this comment]

    I will do just that, just taking my time on getting acclimated, making myself known on the instance!

    Good and important action as a citizen ^^ Hope the US will develop back upwards in the future and that at least the bare minimum of justice is served.

    It will take time to unbugger our current situation, decades likely but with constant effort and the will of the people working towards it. This issue will be solved and hopefully everyone in power responsible for this travesty in US Politics is going to be punished for their part.

    Nice, learning programming can bring you many satisfying moments when a program or even better automation of tedious tasks work. … after hours of cursing why the computer is doing what it is told and not what you want it to do :D (me suppressing rant about Python and weakly typed languages in general)

    My hopes are that it is the gateway to other programming languages like C, that will allow me to work with my computer and tell it, "No, this is what I need you to do. I want to use Python for web stuff/interacting with HTML and C eventually. As I have plans to shore up my own WM or customize Sway more to my liking!

    This week I noticed by accident that a new season of Edgerunners got released. I’m looking forward to watching it as I liked S1 (once I have the time for it ._. ).

    Haven’t watched the show, at all, but I hear decent things about it. I have only interacted with the Tabletop lore and Cyberpunk 2077 game itself! So, I am excited to try the new content for the game that is related to the Edgerunners animated series.

    Reminds me of when I was bored in online classes and started installing Gentoo in a VM. Took quite a while (because if Rust for Firefox) and in the end it didn’t boot because I forgot to include the driver for the virtual disk in the kernel :D But I was able to change the type of virtual disk adapter and it did boot and run.

    At least you figured it out, I think Gentoo is going to be my final boss in terms of distros, once I have a PC that is strong enough to create a VM for Gentoo. I will practice in a virtual environment until I am comfortable doing an install on bare metal. As last time I tried, I got to kernel creation but…Failed. This time didn’t even get past the Stage 3 as something was wonky AF. Dunno what, could’ve been anything.


  • I am so glad to have swum into this new furry based Lemmy instance! It has been a nice change of speed for me…Since my recent awakening to an Anthrosona that I have not thought about for 43 years. Which is a Basking Shark, a rare thing in the community, I’ve noticed! On that front, I have been writing a bit to figure out the true nature of my Anthrosona (which is my account name, btw).

    Anyway, some things have been happening for me: I am taking a Python Certification course so I can learn Python and actually write code (which won’t be rickety and flimsy). On the gaming front, I’ve been playing a mix of Vintage Story, some shooters like Metro 2033 Redux, replaying Cyberpunk 2077 (as a trans man V).

    Another thing: In the wake of some bad tech news (more open source peeps are wanting to use or are using AI in the dev workflows). Instead of being sad, I just changed my whole email provider (from Tuta to Posteo). Kicked LibreOffice out of my productivity loop (using Apostrophe, a Markdown editor and Bibisco for writing), as my needs aren’t particularly complicated I am not noticing any holes in my current choices.

    Tried to install Gentoo Linux on my current solo laptop, alas that failed, so I had to stick with Garuda Linux (Sway Edition, BTW). It’s still a pretty nice set-up but…I wish that I wasn’t so weirdly goofy when it comes to doing more complex installs. Perhaps one day, I will install a slightly more complicated Linux distro with an unslopped init system. ROFL Perhaps trying to install Chimera Linux is more my speed as it is far simpler than Gentoo and not slopped up! I would just have to learn to work with musl libc.

    I also voted today, that was nice, and it makes me happy to do my part in making sure that things don’t become worse. Things have been mostly chill with the exception of some stressful feelings here and there, but nothing that I can work through!
