So apparently some people are okay with using “Teen only” mode Discord? Guys, no, we shouldn’t be giving up stuff like that. If we start accepting the loss of our rights like that, they’ll never stop taking. We’ll lose everything.

I keep seeing folks say they'll just accept a Teen Friendly account on Discord rather than scan or ID and I don't know if I wanna mass normalize leaving NSFW pals out in the cold yet again. Especially with all the censorship stuff goin on I think we gotta stand with the freaks now more than ever.

Now, they don't even promise to delete your shit immediately, they hold that shit for seven days.

We've been looking forward to sharing this news for a long time. We're making a graphic novel! The Owl House: The Long-Lived King Written by me and the amazing @mikkicrisostomo.bsky.social Illustrated by the incomparable @dindu99.bsky.social We're so excited to tell a brand new story.

Mold inspector people are coming to look at my office on Monday! Yippee! I might get to use my office again soon!

"Discord is apparently switching age verification providers to Persona due to the bypasses... which means everything they said about it being client-side and face images not being uploaded is now false"

There's honestly so many things that are constantly proven but never used/acted on. Here's to UBI not being one of them!

Yeah, let what is happening to Discord radicalize you against the encroaching of puritan fascism we are seeing in laws world wide. The US, Canada and a good chunk of the EU like Spain are looking into making laws that will actively do the same for a more expansive area of the internet.

I JUST SAID

I'm not American. I'm very jaded when it comes to politics. I am very cynical of politicians. But I felt something. I think I feel moved?

palestinian journalist posting on twitter that his bluesky account was immediately taken down purely because he was in gaza. all palestinian accounts are assumed to be spam.

Reposting this with alt text.

I want to make a longer statement soon on everything, likely a video. But Discord permanently age restricted my server for being a transfem space, this is one of the types of content that they're trying to censor with their ID implementation, among many others. Fight back.

Traefik is cool but a bit mind boggling to setup. Mostly because I don't want to use docker swarm, so instead I'm needing to set up a redbs DB & traefik-kop as well Trade on complexity for another as it turns out

People on Reddit are getting Amazon to refund their Ring products because of their partnership with Flock and that creepy Super Bowl ad www.reddit.com/r/FlockSurve...

"Don't worry about the Discord thing, it's only NSFW servers and channels that will require age verification! :)" I could remove every speck of risque imagery/topics from my community and there's still a 50% chance we'd get flagged just because we're openly queer. It's not actually about the kids.

Freshly imaged Raspberry Pi, on a new subnet (planning to move all my Homelab devices to that subnet), but I am hella struggling to get SSH access. I've tried the file method, & I have tried the rasp imager settings path, ut nothing seems to work. I'll might need a micro HDMI adapter :(

Hey can we bring back all those internet safety campaigns we had when I was a millennial teen? It is NOT my job to parent someone else's kids and have to submit my ID to places to sanitize the internet for some puritanical outrage about kids. Parents should be doing this themselves.

Having worked at a sex shop, I was given the a "Do Not Allow Entry if born after x date" sign the same way booze and cigs get "Do not sell if born after x date" signs. No permanent, laughably hackable records and the assumption of privacy.

This is the canary in the coal mine for KOSA. A big company like discord wanting to make it global policy, is a bad sign that they view the public as apathetic. I'm convinced that KOSA will be rammed through without our consent if companies are already trying to make it global policy.

Time for Revolt.chat (or I guess now called Stoat.chat) or similar. Where are people in general intended to head to? www.theverge.com/tech/875309/...

not just UK & other select places anymore, this update is going to be global :/

Politely requesting people to please label your explicit NSFW art... Please give people the choice to view it or not.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Im sorry did young robert's trials and tribulations teach these people nothing

Them: "You saying Crypto is bad makes you a bad person, because hrt became unavailable through normal means so I had to use Crypto to get my hrt. You don't want people to have access to hrt" My actual thoughts: Crypto is bad. Not having access to hormones is also bad. You were just trying to get by

With tax season in full swing, here's our reminder that TurboTax owner Intuit spent two decades fighting to prevent Americans from filing their taxes online for free. (Published 2019)

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Paying a monthly fee for a service where you get dicked down by werewolves, call that Lycan Subscribe

I simply don't think it's my responsibility to subsidize anyone's little investment property.

ACAB didn't stop being true when the gestapo rolled in

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

Spent an hour or so in my office today for troubleshooting some networking stuff, & my lungs & throat are still inflamed from that :c This is the big reason recently that I haven't been streaming. Definitely need professional help

Chexmix pieces tierlist. Doing this just because a video I was watching mentioned Chexmix

I made a filterlist for uBlock Origin to remove Generative AI features on websites. Includes blocks for * Google AI Summaries * YouTube Ask button & chat summaries * GitHub Copilot * Facebook AI chat * X's Grok buttons * Deviantart DreamUp * Booru AI images * And more github.com/Stevoisiak/S...

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I heard a loud thump and found this:

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left. It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

It really sucks that Microsoft sunk its claws into so much of the game industry and is attached to a ton of games I wanna play. What sucks even more is supporting genocide, which is something Microsoft loves doing. I’m very in favor of Microsoft fucking off until it stops loving genocide so much.

"why do you have to post and repost messages about the BDS boycott every time there's a new game announcement or set of trailers" because there's this weird phenomenon of active forgetting that Microsoft is a tech partner of one of the most heinous crimes against humanity happening on earth today

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

As a heads up, if you are not Black please don’t look away from the posts where folks are asking for support and donations. This year, mutual aid and community care is more important than ever. In the US, more than 40,000 Black women and femmes have been laid off for their race and gender alone.

so all of the richest and most evil people in the world were pouring unlimited money into intentionally destroying modern society so we would have to go back to tribalism and legalize child brides or whatever, and then it didn't even work because most people genuinely like being nice

"I've named my ChatGPT Avery, & Avery can do shopping for me" WTF WTF WTF WTF

Unfriendly reminder that laughing at people for uncontrollable things is not a good look. Even if the person is awful and deserves to be mocked. I don't care. You are hurting people that actually deal with problems that produce that thing you're mocking very boisterously, and it's ableist.
