Just by the headline alone I can tell that whoever came up with this has zero understanding of orbital mechanics. Even if you manage to break atmo you still need reaction mass to circularize your orbit.

 

Just... can we have a Pixelfed instance? I think it'd be a good way for users here to organize art and photos.

If this is the kind of shit we're to expect, I'm going to need to start using Nightshade on my 3D renders.

Because I would never be able to pull off the look with my body shape.

But I might be able to pull off a voluptuous tavern wench with the help some shapewear and forms.

LLMs (I refuse to call them AI, as there's no intelligence to be found) are simply random word sequence generators based on a trained probability model. Of course they're going to suck at math, because they're not actually calculating anything, they're just dumping what their algorithm "thinks" is the most likely response to user input.

It's worse than that. Companies are legally required to follow shareholder interests. That's not that big of an issue with unlisted companies since their shareholders are most likely directly involved with the company or at least share a similar vision to those that are, but any publicly traded company is going to be solely focused on "line go up lol" whether they want to or not.

When I was hosting game servers (mostly modded Minecraft) I'd always self-host them. I've never been a fan of using hosting services for these as from my experience they tend to perform poorly by comparison.

awful.systems sounds a LOT like it's probably involved with SomethingAwful...

Well, that's the thing... I probably should have mentioned this in my first post but I'm using Vivaldi, which is a Chromium fork. So it's not just a Firefox issue.

I haven't had any issues staying logged in on the same tab, but I have to log in again every time I open anything on this instance on another tab.

Knowing how important the site is to the fandom, I'd be surprised if anyone lets it go under.

That being said, as a precaution, a PixelFed instance attached to pawb.fun and pawb.social might be nice to have.

The one way a company can avoid that is to not go publicly traded in the first place. Problem is there's a huge a mount of incentive to go publicly traded - specifically, it's a huge boost to cash-on-hand, which can be crucial for expanding a business - so most corporations will basically do so without batting an eyelash at it. It's a lot slower to build a company solely from net profits and private investors. But the cost of faster growth is a loss of control of the company.

 

This is a comic I made a while ago of one of my secondary fursonas, Tofu the Kitsune, during her 3-tailed days as an Onnazumo Rikishi, going through most of the various start of match rituals for sumo.

So, does anyone else here like Sumo?

 

It me.

I mainly make DAZ renders using highly morphed and geografted figures. Sloan's model is a Sakura 8 with Catgirl Megapack assets, using morphs from the G8F Shapeshift morph pack and RawArt's Sphinx to turn the default figure into a male anthro serval.
