Honestly the idea of a .furry TLD really worries me, just because of how centralized it is. What if they decide to universally ban ferals/babyfurs/whatever/other UNDESIRABLES™?

Hey SF bay area furries/therians, is anyone looking for a housemate? We just got a job and need to sort out a place to stay; apartments are still too expensive but we could probably manage a "room for rent" type of deal. But I'd rather be with another therian or furry than some human off Craigslist.
(We do kinda need our own room we can go hide out in. I don't want to have nowhere to escape to. But yeah, we don't stink up places (we don't smoke or anything) and we're not particularly loud (aside from the occasional musical instrumenting).)

That _might_ work if it was just a username on the website thing (I already put "Frost Wolf" there on signup), but I'm not gonna rewrite my commits to fit Firstname Lastname requirements! The commits are the important part and having my name actually correct there matters.
A bug on bugs.kde.org might work, assuming people wouldn't just close it with "stop rocking the boat" type stuff.

Like, I just sign my commits 'Frost'. (If you need to disambiguate different Frosts that's what the email right next to it is for.)
KDE's gitlab literally won't let me push because it's not a Firstname Lastname. Because having a non-Firstname Lastname is "unprofessional" or something.

You can make those up, but it still implies that your name even fits the Firstname Lastname /format/.
Mine doesn't!

This is a BIT of a hot take, but I don't think "isolate all software from each other" is a good goal to aim for on a desktop
it just makes it impossible to use your computer for computer things.
And socially required malware isn't anywhere NEAR as big a problem on desktop as it is on phones. On desktop that crap is mostly confined to web browsers.
There's also VMs and stuff if you _do_ need that sort of isolation.

"oh but what if an app is malicious and steals your clipboard!!"
That's what VMs are for.

Fucking Wayland.
- xclip doesn't work
- there's these wl-copy/wl-paste commands (from the wl-clipboard package)
- those just HANG when you call them
- turns out they have to OPEN A WINDOW to get the clipboard, and that window has to be focused, for Reasons™
- KDE's focus stealing prevention was preventing it from taking focus
What a Wayland Moment.
We should all stop stigmatizing critters who prefer X11. KDE is going to drop X11 support in like one release and Wayland STILL isn't functional and _never will be_ because it's Like This by design.

Why am I even bothering to go digging to fix a #KDE bug. Even if we fix it and come up with a patch, we can't use KDE's git system because they enforce Firstname Lastname ON YOUR GIT COMMITS >,,<
and I don't really want to contribute to a project that's /that obsessed/ with Firstname Lastname
I want to make KDE better but ye gods. Have some respect.

Usenet's still a thing, right?
How do we go and use it? How does it even, like, work? Like, we'd need a client of some sort right?

Oh yike. Didn't know Android Auto and such required google play services.
I wonder if MicroG implements the necessary stuff. Used to be you couldn't really install it on Lineage since it needs signature spoofing to pretend to be play services, but I think they (Lineage) relented now.

Weh.
We're on a no-Google Lineage (no google play services) and it's pretty great. Can recommend. We don't really bother with any maintenance stuff for it.
(at least, we were until the screen got smashed... we need to get it fixed.)

See, okay that's cool
For the other form factors
But they should /really/ stop trying to kill X11 on desktop, then.
Wayland works for the weird stuff but it /doesn't work/ on desktop, not unless you have extremely basic needs. Things like "no custom resolutions, no adjusting the HDMI color range, no scripting control of windows, no screenshot tool other than that provided by your DE". Anything even a little out of the ordinary is just declared "out of scope" and then they'll want to kill X and leave us with /nothing/.

There needs to be furry built around ferals too, not so much of an Anthro Default, but also, yikes.
If they're doing this to the ANTHROS, you just KNOW they're going to do way worse to us...
