Per my last toot; the EU Kids act and that Packaging Act, which would have also killed small businesses that ship things, seem tailor-made to make me NOT want to be part of the EU. Who the fuck is letting these clowns suggest legislation like this?

I hate the term "Private Enterprise" the same way I hate the term "Entrepeneur". Mostly because all the worst people in business use it as a term of aggrandizement and to make themselves seem like people who did everything themselves without any input from society at large.

latex drone cow transformation for @aepyceria.bsky.social welcome to the herd 😈

Sylvia the human, turning into a sleek, black latex cow drone. In the corner, there's a panel showing her from the shoulders-up, looking nervous, getting covered in latex goo. She has a cow snout, and is grabbing at it with one hand and one covered hoof.

The main image shows her almost entirely turned into a cow. the latex goo is just about to finish covering what's left of her human self, her new cow legs buckling underneath her as she's getting used to standing on all fours. she has a large udder that is hooked up to a milking machine, and she's surrounded by multiple other latex cows. She looks content and slack-jawed, as if in a trance. she is branded with multiple barcodes and number signifiers.

"Mastodon sucks." Every last bit of Fedi is built by members of your community trying to provide a space to people for free, often at great expense to themselves. This isn't some social network we just rolled up and started using, we built it. I wish more people understood that before they slam it.

Interesting post by the author of @allaboutberlin on how AI is killing his awesome website. #AI #OpenKnowledge #Berlin

AI is killing All About Berlin. When you Googled something, you used to get a link to my website. Now you get an AI-generated answer trained on my work.

This has a devastating impact on traffic. It's hard to fund my work with 70% fewer visitors. In another year, it will be impossible. Instead of writing new guides, I spend my days preparing for that future.

Yesterday, Google announced two things: AI-generated answers will completely replace search results, and AI-generated answers will soon contain ads.

This is the future of the web. I don't know where All About Berlin fits in that future.

I translated a Chinese comic that I thought certain factions of Mastodon would enjoy. Original art and text by user hands2 on wechat #furry #webcomic #chinese

"Demoness in Disguise"

page 1: A pretty girl with fox-like traits smugly on a man's arm; she narrates: "I'm a fox demon. I survive by bewitching human men."

page 2: photos of a variety of normal-looking attractive people of different genders mixed in with anime kink stereotypes. She narrates: "Doesn't matter what kind of guy - I can become whatever they want to see."

page 3: She is looking upon a normal young man, who seems surprised. She narrates: "But THIS guy... when confronted with him... my powers that I'm so proud of..."

page 4: "got stuck halfway!" She has become a fox furry,

page 5: "This guy must be here to exorcise me!" She bows to him. "I'm so sorry! I know it was wrong! Sir, please let me make it up to you somehow!" The guy smiles evilly. "Oh~?"

page six: they are at a furry convention together; the boy is in costume. The fox demon sighs: "Seriously?"
