It still surprises me how much the emotions that wearing a pair of fox ears and tail evokes in me resemble gender euphoria.

If I hadn't experienced it myself, I wouldn't believe it, maybe even offended by the comparison - these two aspects seem so unrelated and on such different levels of importance.

But walking around my apartment with my tail tied on and feeling it bounce against my thighs or pushed against me while sitting on the couch or laying in bed *genuinely* brings that same kind of "what a relief, this is my true form" comfort. It doesn't feel like clothes or a costume, my brain fully just processes it as a part of me - it's wild.

And sometimes, if I'm cuddling with a partner and they stroke my hair or back a certain way for a little while, I feel a mental shift into what I call "foxmode" where my mannerisms become a lot more fox-like - nuzzling, pawing, nonverbal except for little purrs or yips. My surefire indicator of this is my fingers: in foxmode, I scrunch them up so they're only one knuckle long to look more like paws. And when foxmode wears off, I straight them back out. And all of this is purely instinctual: at no point am I like "let's be a little silly and fun right now".

Honestly makes me question if I'm not just furry, but therian. Maybe writing all this out is kinda telling tbh

tfw you see a 90s style website but it uses like nuxt js or some shit so includes 500mb of different js files when it could easily have been made in php and/or xslt or even some fucking js static site generator like eleventy or some other thing that maybe even uses jsx or whatever it is

In 2019, Iceland became one of the first countries to approve a four-day workweek. Here's how things have been going for them.

2021: "Trials of a four-day week in Iceland were an "overwhelming success""

https://www.bbc.com/news/business-57724779

2024: "Iceland’s economy is outperforming most European peers after the nationwide introduction of a shorter working week with no loss in pay."

https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/25/business/iceland-shorter-working-week-economy/index.html

2025: "The effects of the shorter workweek in Iceland have extended far beyond the office."

Aha, rich man, you know the laugh’s on you
You live and die by another man’s rule
And when we both are dead and gone
The legend of my kind will still live on

The rich man has no use for me
Nor have I any use for he
He’ll judge a man by the clothes he wears
Judge I a man by the burden he bears

TL;DR: With Firefox 56, Mozilla combined Firefox Health Report and Telemetry data into a single setting called “technical and interaction data”, which was then enabled by default. This included data about advertising within Firefox’s New Tab page, along with a lot of other technical information about the installation of Firefox. The Firefox preferences UI makes no mention of usage of this technical data for advertising purposes. Mozilla has also recently shared that they share data with their advertising partners “on a de-identified or aggregated basis”. Mozilla has given no indication that this is a new occurrence.

*old man voice* back in my webdev days, every website was just bootstrap2.css, now everything looks like this

bruh

Skype is shutting down in May. I've been using it to speak with my grandmother, and I am looking for an alternative, with the following features:
* can do live subtitles (in French)
* works without a phone number/sim card
* can call your contacts and be dialed (i.e. not only invite by email/calendar/url…)
* simple UI/UX (with big buttons) is far more important than feature rich.

I know various things that do some of the above, but I'm not sure what (other than Skype) does all of it.

Any help?
