Gay
And
Yeah I'm GAY

It's #introductions time again!

I'm Mycroft, but you can also use Myke or Mike. I'm a late 30-something queer #furry with interests including but not limited to:
* #dnd and other #tabletop #rpg
* #transformers usually memories of g1 cartoon or IDW comics
* #WoW #warcraft playing a tauren resto/feral druid
* not understanding kids these days
* various eclectic things that catch my interest from time to time
* weird furry kinks

If you wish to follow, please please also @ me with a note, preferably mentioning a mutual interest or friend. If you don't say anything, and I don't immediately recognize a mutual interest, the request will be declined.

Follow requests are NOT displayed as notifications within the Mastodon interface, so if I don't see a note, I may not see the request.

If I decline, please don't take it personally. It's for anxiety reasons.

Anyone know why Linux (Mint 19.1 Xfce) does this? I'm copying files to an external USB drive, the progress bar zooms to somewhere in the 95% range, then hangs there for a long time. (I let it alone and it eventually does finish the copy.)

tired: including twitter handle or facebook link
wired: linking to myspace page
inspired: aol keyword
galaxy brain: 7E1 & phone number

That's odd. VLC apparently just disappeared from my Linux Mint installation. I was able to use the Software Manager to reinstall it, and it's working, but that's still weird.

Looking at potentially intro tabletop RPGs, and slightly disappointed this game published by Evil Hat is actually about young detectives, and not malleable inflatable footwear.

@BarkingPoints Which got me thinking, of course they're going to monitor everything players do, what they engage in, how much time they spend doing or trying anything. And that might be the leg up they have in providing this data to game developers to entice them to build games for their platform, where any other platform would spark outrage of that level of spying.

Speculation, anyway.

@BarkingPoints Thanks for the pointer about Stadia potentially pointing users to youtube videos. Done wrong of course sometime could trick the algorithm into pointing to their Elsa Spiderman 10 Hours Eating Beans And Farting video. But they're Google; they will probably have minute tracking while playing games, of everything a player does, saving that metadata, and possibly using it on the backend with youtube to confirm the game, location, and situation. I think.
