Valve has made Linux gaming stupid easy and still people are more worried about FOMO of that small percentage of games that don't run on Linux.
Unfortunately, most of the non-working games are also the ones people tend to have FOMO about. I feel like they're mostly online games with anti-cheats which, by their online nature, means that you will feel really missing out when all of your friends except you play the game, more so than single player games.
Critical surgery computers may also be running under Windows LTSC, so they might not get the CrowdStrike patch. Maybe...
Edit: So the issue is apparently caused by CrowdStrike. So, unless the surgery computers also use CrowdStrike then it would be fine. Unless, of course, if they use CrowdStrike on surgery computers...
If the document isn't DRMed, then it would be pretty noble. Who knows, maybe once the original document is lost in the sands of time and becomes lost media, your copies will be the only few ones left.
Right... and it's unrelated to the ungodly amount of furries on the Fediverse in general.
Let's not forget this art is on the top of all time list of the furry_irl subreddit, and I even thought this was posted on a furry_irl communities before looking at this community's name.
To be perfectly fair, this is also the case even with real life friend groups, where there are generally that one or two friends who hold the friendship the most.

How do you represent different system members in physical space?
Usually, different system members have different appearances. Sometimes, different system members may have different bodies to each other-- even as far as having different gender or species. But with only one physical body, it's hard to represent or tell every members with the same body in physical space. So, how does your system handle that?
How do you tell apart or represent different system members in physical space? Do you only differentiate in headspace-- each members' physical form exist in headspace while the real life self remains the same regardless of who's fronting. Maybe you use subtle cues like arm ring color or necklace. Or maybe you use different clothes for different headmates-- though that would be difficult if you switch front while being outside.
Perhaps it's the different behavior like walking style, gestures, or manners. Or, just through the different personality each system members may have while fronting.
For us at least, we don't differentiate that much physi
Generally, and in some cases unfortunately, murders aren't just weighed based on whether someone dies but also the motive and how it relates to the victim.
One could argue that preys generally don't deserve to die in the hands of predators since they don't do anything wrong besides existing, but predators who kill others deserve to die as punishments because they've taken another lives. It's basically the same concept as a human society that still has death penalty.
Whether it's ethical or sensical to have death penalty in a world where predation is outlawed is as hard of a question as the question about death penalty in real life.
Would furry anthros wear clothes?
Most fursonas do wear clothes. But putting aside the aesthetics factor and focusing more on the practicality-- would a furry anthro in an anthro society wear clothes?
Focusing solely on mammalian anthros with fur. Well, they have fur, so temperature regulation and the elements aren't really reasons to wear clothes given that they have natural, furry clothes already. Wearing clothes on top of that might be too warm, especially in the summer.
The thing I'm wondering is, would anthros figure out to make clothings themselves? And if they do, how would they look? Having their body completely covered in fur might make shirts and pants irrelevant, which means they might never develop them in the first place. I suppose other articles of clothings like armbands, headbands, etc would still exist, and so would practical items like glasses or watches.
Of course, clothing serves more purpose than just covering bare skins. They serve aesthetic purposes and shows our identity. For example, police

I've seen the art, it's really cute :3
That's interesting. Though, I wonder how it would play out for other Pokemons, especially Nidoran and its evolutions (nidoking and nidoqueen). How would a non-binary version of them play out?
And even wilder, animals that don't conform to our idea of gender (yes, they exist too!). There are still a few things I think can be explored in this topic, sucb as:
- Animals that reproduce asexually, thus lacking in gender,
- Animals that are naturally hermaphroditic (such as worms, though these animals are rarely used for fursonas anyway),
- Animals that can change their gender naturally (such as clownfish. Unrelated, but can you imagine how interesting it would be if that fact is referenced in Finding Nemo?),
- Animals with different sex determination. For example, turtles' gender are determined by their temperature in the egg. Imagine the gender stereotypes!
- Birds also have different chromosomal system for determining gender. It's not XX or XY for them, but I don't know much about avian genetics.
- Some animals have different gender roles. For example, female hyenas are higher in hierarchy than male hyenas. Also, for lions, the lioness are usually the ones hunting. Given that different animals have different gender roles, it would be interesting to see how that would play out in an anthro society where many different species would mix.
Transgender furries worldbuilding
[TW: Mentions of sexual dimorphism in animals. TWed just in case]
Most animals are sexually dimorphic, which means male and female individuals are different from each other beyond their bottoms. But for some animals, the differences are even more starking than humans.
For example, the different feather colors between male and female mallards. Male mallards have green heads while female mallards are mostly brown.
Other animals takes it further. Such as how all workers of a eusocial insect (ants, bees, and wasps) colonies are female and the males are just drones. There are many other examples in the wild.
When we turn these animals into anthros, we tend to keep their dimorphism, at least most of the obvious ones like how anthro deers have antlers, male anthro lions have manes, etc.
Now imagine if these anthros were transgender, how would it work out? How would they transition?
Generally, I tend to focus on smaller creators, their qualities are usually better.
The channels I watched include Nitro Rad (gaming), MattKC (tech), and Modern Vintage Gamer (retro console/gaming).
I think it was used wrong. CMIIW, but you only need to separate clauses with a comma if the subordinate clause comes before the main clause, so this: We squint at the sun, because it's too bright
Should've been this: We squint at the sun because it's too bright
But if the subordinate clause comes before main, then a comma is needed: Because it's too bright, we squint at the sun
However, the above mistake is not a mistake in German and a few other languages. If you translate the above sentence in German, it looks like this: Wir blinzeln in die Sonne, weil sie zu hell ist (yes, i use Google Translate)
Honestly, because of my interest, as you can tell from my instance's name and purpose. It's the first furry instance I see and also the most popular one, that's the initial reason.
Why'd you run anyway?

I suppose it does make sense considering how unfriendly our system could become lately. We've tried our best to sort that, it is fortunate that most other system members don't support transphobia, so hopefully things will get better for us.
Yup, literally
Persecutor is causing our host to disappear, what to do?
[Content Warning: mentions of transphobia]
Long story short, our persecutor have been trying to repress our transfem host, to the point where she rarely fronted nowadays. Maybe it was internalized transphobia, which sometimes caused us quite a problem.
While she's not the only transfem in our system, I couldn't help but to feel bad that she might felt unwelcome here, in her only safe space. She's also pretty empty and unresponsive ever since she started to disappear.
Which fursona species do you think has heavy trans vibes?
A bit of a fun post, so no need to be serious.
Which fursona species do you think has heavy vibes with trans people? Which fursona species do you think many trans people would make or at least relate to?
Here are some of my suggestions:
- Cats: catgirls, enough said.
- Raccoons: maybe I'm slightly biased since it is my fursona, but I suppose they give a chaotic energy many trans people relate to, plus they're cute and unique.
What other species do you think would fit on this list?

To transfurs out there, would you want to turn into your fursona if it means turning to your preferred gender?
So, would you?
- Hell yeah, there's no downsides!
- I would if it's what it takes to be my preferred gender.
- Maybe, I'm kinda torn...
- No! I don't want to be my fursona for real...
Some clarification:
- You would be the only one turned into an anthro, everyone else is still human.
- If you have multiple fursona, you'd have to choose one.
- The gender of the fursona you chose to turn to would match your preferred gender.
- You wouldn't receive the superpowers of your fursona if they had one. You wouldn't become extremely large, have superpowers (especially not omnipotence or shapeshifting), or anything else other than an ordinary anthro.
My response:
Personally, I'm kinda torn. Becoming both my fursona and my gender at the same time would be a dream come true. Being my fursona isn't just a downside, it's what I wanted.
But, in this scenario, I'd be the only anthro raccoon-- or anthro at all-- in the sea of humans. Thinking about it, if humans already discriminate against othe

Rules and Infomations for Transfurs
Hello everyone, welcome to transfurs!
This is a community for transgender furries where we can come together and discuss more about the intersectionality between being transgender and furry. Of course, other queer furries and allies are welcome to join as long as things stay on topic.
Given the huge number of trans furries, we thought it might be a good idea to have a dedicated community. It would be nice to discuss the intersectionality between furry and trans experiences.
Keep in mind that despite the name association in other places, this community isn't about transformation related stuff (as in human turning into furries and the like). Rather, this community is about transgender furries.
We welcome transformation related contents if they are relevant to this community's purpose. But if you want to find and share purely transformation related stuff, there are other, more appropriate communities such as:

I need help dealing with Repression and Internalized Transphobia
Hi, I'm Jasmine.
This post is a bit of a vent, but I also genuinely need help and comfort. I hope this is appropriate to talk about here and that I don't ruin the vibe of this community too much.
I'm tired with myself repressing my gender. I'm tired with me telling myself maybe I can live happily as a boy, maybe I can convince myself, or maybe this is all fake somehow. I feel like I'm not meant to be a girl, that I am meant to be a boy, and that I shouldn't transition because it's against my cultures. And my internalized transphobia sometimes made me think like a bigot when given the chance.
I've done my best to avoid lashing my internalized transphobia to anyone, even online, and I'll continue to do my best. I'll continue to do my best to support trans people, but ironically it's hard for me to support myself.
I know this all sounds so negative, but it's been eating away at my mental health. I need help.
*I just wanted someone to reassure me that it's okay for me to transition an
How is the worldbuilding of your fursona?
When it comes to designing a fursona, most people focus on appearances, which makes sense. But, as with any character design, fursonas can have a surprisingly deep world behind them. Afterall, your fursona has to live in a world somewhere and their life would tell a story. But how was their story?
A story does not have to be written. A picture can tell a thousand words, after all. If you have made or commisioned multiple arts of your fursona, how did each of them relate? Were all the arts of your sona related to each other? Did they overall tell a continous story?
Your fursona may have a well-developed story overall, just a simple backstory, or not at all. That's fine, but even then, there are still a lot more things to consider with the world your fursona live in. The world your fursona live in should theoretically have a rule; some elements of worldbuilding.
And every fursona have a different world behind them: some people make every species in their sona's universe match the size

How often do you use "we" to refer to yourself/yourselves?
This post is mostly intented for plural systems, but I'm open to anyone responding as well, even if you aren't plural. It's nice to hear from another perspective outside our community.
When you have more than one selves within the same body, it's fair to say that the pronoun "I" may not be enough sometimes. After all, if you share your body with more than one selves, some of the things your body does would technically be done by all of your selves.
For example, as a plural system myself, whenever I go anywhere, technically all my headmates (or another selves) will also go with me since we share the same body. If the body goes somewhere, everyone goes along with it. With that, some stuff about us can't be described with just "I." Think of how I've been using "we," "us," and "our" throughout this post.
So, if you're plural yourself, do you also use plural pronouns the same way we do? When do you use "we" to describe yourself? And when do you use "I" to describe yourself?
