A custom Durge, a skinny half-drow with green hair and a burgundy red cape, sitting on a brick wall with crossed legs and a mischievous smile, saying "please, tell me more about how much you like my teeth"

I cannot overstate just how awful this stupid fucking bill proposal is

- adding backdoors into encryption on OS level
- "sniff" every single message before it gets encrypted AND SAVE IT CENTRALLY
- let a goddamn hallucinating "AI" mark people as criminals

it needs to be stopped, post haste

How is it possible that from ep17 of critical role c2 the Italian subs are so bad? I just want to keep watching tm9 with my non-English speaking wife but it's become an ordeal and we're both getting super annoyed.
Does anybody have a solution? :(

Under these new guidelines anything the #Durgetash fandom creates will be banned.

(Not even mentioning the whole sex side of things...)

Please fill out the feedback form.

PomPoison @pompoison.bsky.social · Aug 14

The new community guidelines are highly censorious. You should be concerned about user drop off if these rules do apply. Can you please amend your community guidelines to allow role playing, creative/artistic expression and remove anything about “promoting unsafe behavior?” Intent is not obvious.

Now we have to see if it also includes text or additional content beyond the artwork (which is already enough to feed us)

I just deactivated my X account.
Today I opened the app after sometime and it turned out that its dumbass AI "couldn't verify" if my millennial ass is 18 or not so lots of the content was censored for me unless I uploaded a selfie or a picture of my ID.
This is def where I draw the line lol

The censorship of 80+ games on Steam this week was apparently the work of Australian antiporn group Collective Shout, which partnered with US evangelicals to pressure Visa and Mastercard.

They claimed, without evidence, that the games involved child abuse.

Great work by @acvalens.net for VICE.

The organization behind Steam's latest payment processor censorship, Collective Shout, appears to tell some misleading tales.
