100-250$ due to economy of scale,they already have a built in audience so it's not like they are some upstart that needs to recover money

Just give me virus and security updates and the OPTIONAL system update and we are good

The more app support Linux gets the less I have to negotiate with windows

🚨🚨Nsfw artists , furry artists kinksters🚨🚨

Be on the lookout for takedowns and be vocal if it happens.

I still call on @bsky.app to remove the rules on fictional characters expressing consent and the clause on beastiality.

We are not babies stop dumbing down art.

That and allow 3rd party financial entities to basically lobby, bribe and think tank their way around democracy to get what they want.

Worse

It was a privaledge to work for x, or My time with x family has come to an end due to scaling etc

Meanwhile on the same platform the CEO or CFO is bragging about profits.

Much like day one dlc they just don't care to hide it anymore that they don't care.

It's the let's track everyone so a bunch of idiots who have not been paying attention to the survialance capitalism industry,but want to "own" big tech get a win

All they had to do was add filters,but to saftey Zelots we need survialance to keep everyone safe. I feel safe knowing I am being watched

The fact that at every stage we keep normalising data handing over to data vampires is scary. I am genuinely getting people to use local models to avoid this

Not because I want children to have smut,but its clear infantilism is the new saftey.

And data minimalist have to work harder to be safe.

devilcereal.bsky.social @devilcereal.bsky.social · 7h

"verified adults" ah more survialance

I need or know my national library in my city has 5 rows of erotica,out in the open,no locks. This ranges from smut to role play

It even marketed as adult

And do you know what sometimes a teen grabs a book and no one looses it

Normalisation of survialance

I need to say something most people get but few understand.

Once you make segregate laws normal in time it will be used to justify denying a class of people access.

Many prisoners in the us can't vote despite finishing sentence.

Best believe alot of people are about to be screwed with these laws.

Mission creep is already apparent, when you tell people adding a middle man means all it takes is one person shutting down verification services and you are locked out.

When you tell people this will be used do discriminate access you are Hans waved off.

Privacy capture in the name of saftey

Beastiality

Any bad faith interpretation can remove anything with this. Its not the fact the rule will be used it's the fact it exists that stifles options

How does a fictional character consent?

The rules are the visual censorship of saying Grape instead of rape

a middle class of artists was created by giving creatives an outlet to independently reach out to share and sell their work, really shattering the starving artist/historic artiste binary

I'm one of those people and bonus my own hours save me from a chronic health condition

🚨(bias alert)🚨 Loved the playtest and have been playing it a lot since

Would recommend

To rate difficulty it's easier than shapes 2D but genuinely gets challenging when you start splitting lines.

I am anxiously waiting for the next playtest

But for for me this is a guaranteed buy.

Without revealing too much I found out I was not a sexual deviant,just did not have the vocabulary to describe how I felt.

I was able to make friends with people it would have been geo impossible to visit

City pop,lord was their a before and after

Porn is not a vice,but people sure want it to be.

This is "debanking", and its a problem that has plagued sex workers for decades. It isnt right when its targetting sex workers and its not right when its targetting game devs and creators either.

Give paypros and your givt reps your grievances and demand that debanking of adult content stop

Per Reddit: Steam adult developer in the UK is sitting on a USD equivalent of six figures, can’t find a bank to take his money because the developer creates adult games

I develop adult video games on Steam. I can't find a bank that will actually let me withdraw my money from Steam. Can I get some advice?
Game has sold quite well on Steam. I've got almost £90,000 ready to withdraw after Steam's cut + VAT taken off.

However, it's been 2 months now and I can't find ANY bank in the UK who will let me withdraw my money from Steam.

I've been banned/refused/unable to get a business account with:

Wise
Revolut
Monzo
Monese
Chase
Starling
Nationwide
Halifax
Barclays
Lloyds
RBS

It always comes down to, "Where did you get this money from?"

"It's coming from games I sell on Steam."

"Can we see the store page?"

"Sure."

"I'm sorry, we can't do business with you at this time."

It keeps coming down to a commercial decision purely because I make adult content.

What the hell am I supposed to do? I've pretty much exhausted the whole banking system. I just want to be able to be paid for products I've sold.

Show/movie: really good ending that resolves all the issues and lands it's thematic message

What if we told more of the story.

As a writing mentor taught me,your characters should not say sorry more than twice

Anymore and it looses impact. Same as teasing more story.

Excellent Guardian piece on Aadhar, India's digital ID system, that captures the dilemma extremely well. Digital-by-default methods create huge convenience for some, double-down on social exclusion for others, and it is easy for their scope to rapidly expand www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

You know you live in healthy well adjusted financial system when posts on reddit use "how did visa/Mastercard allow that"

Absolutely rationale behavior talking about a private payment monopoly with the same gravity as a government

Not in anyway something we used to make fun of in dystopian fiction

Many people have been burned when sites weoponised tags.

When you are burned 5 times by different websites weoponising tags would you keep doing it?

Also age verification is ruining media access,people are also not using it to make things accessable.

People are know just not using them just to keep stuff accessable. Or when used bsky moderation bot just decides "nah" and removes it even though it's sexual and was tagged as such.

The kicker is the auto mod bot doesn't fully work. I regularly get penis on main and tummy unprompted.
