I’m so burnt out I don’t want to do anything when I get home. Someone I know is very sick and in pain. I wish I could talk about it, but the US government is too psychotic to talk about totally normal things on social media.

Tired, stressed and need a hug

Hey there, I’m actually quite tired, still recovering from the party I did last week-end. Other than that, I’m eager for what’s to come during this incoming week, and I’m already starting to plan the different event I plan on attending.

I’m gonna try to attend a furry meetup this week, I don’t know yet if I’ll share photos about it or not. But one thing that I’m happy about is that one of my non-furry friend also wanna come with me just to see how it goes and what happen to them. So I’ll probably be draging him with me as this will also be the first furry meet up I’m gonna attend (outside of a convention of course).

Before the next year, I also plan on attending a general convention, there’ll be a furry association to it, so I hope I’ll be able to meet some new local fur.

I also keep procrastinating making my website, so wish me luck to finish it soon. I recently did a few renders that I’ll publish soon in c/fur3d@pawb.social, and I need a bit of motivation to do art. I don’t need at the moment to ask for people to share me their refsheet, cause I need to finish a few stickers that are in kemono style, but I’ll probably need that once finish (unless I decide to make some stickers for Nadnoi).

On some other note, I’m happy to say that my friends are doing the switch from Winslop to Linux, after multiple years of me spreading propaganda telling them how bad Winslop is and them also feeling it. One of my closest friend did chose to use PikaOS, another one installed Debian and started creating the OS from this base, I chose to use ZorinOS on my more professional / academic laptop while still being on a debloated Winslop while the main apps I’m using are being available on Linux (most of them are now Linux compatible), I’m yet still waiting to see how it runs on Arch cause that’s what I’ll be using.

While I’m speaking about Linux, I can talk about hardware too : I recently saw that some economist are predicting the crash of hardware prices by the end of 2027 and expecting the AI bubble to pop out during the same year. The reason for that is that open-source LLM are getting increasingly good and optimised to run on people’s hardware (mainly GPU you have in your computer and also some recent CPU), some associations are also starting to encourage gouvernements to take actions in order to limit the price of hardware so people can still maintain and buy computers (especially important when things now require you to have a computer). So I’m happy to know that next year I’ll finally be able to upgrade the RAM and the storage of my laptop.

Another that is plan for soon is me starting to share photos. I take a lot of photos, and some furries in my local area are saying that even if taken with a phone, I could still share them. I don’t want to call myself a photograph because I yet don’t have a camera, but in some way, if people like how my photos are (which I’m surprise they do) why not share some of them. Maybe will it speeds up the process of me getting a camera (will not cause it still cost money).

@green_copper Doing alright! ^^ This week was my first week of university and it’s been *incredibly* busy and a difficult adjustment, but I’m sure I’ll eventually get used to everything… On a more positive note I did also manage to finish a couple of songs over the weekend!

I guess to touch on the community feedback thing, I actually really like this one in particular :P I know I don’t engage much but I especially love looking at all the art posted here!! I never would have learned of foxburrito if I wasn’t in this community, and they have become probably one of my favorite artists haha

I’ve finished three drawings this year, and I’m working on two more, one sorta close to done, the other just started. That’s not a lot, but it’s more than I used to do, and I’m proud of that, especially because they are getting more “proper”. All of it is personal stuff that I can’t share here, unfortunately, but I still want to draw stuff that I can upload here, too :3

My two week vacation is ending. It was filled with Eurofurence 30 (as most of you might already know :D ), watching Anime and eeeeeping :3 I had fun and plan to spend my vacation next year the same way (while using the time until EF31 to hopefully work on my shyness so that I will be able to speak to random people); being on a Furry convention and not hugging a single fursuiter was somewhat depressing :/

And even though work is starting tomorrow again, I like what I’m doing so no bad feeling there (well except that Monday will be filled with unread Emails).

Regarding community feedback: anything you don’t like, want to see more or less, etc.? Comparing to other online Furry communities, what do you think about this one?
