Signalapp on X: We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a
catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled
opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could
spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe.

here's a reminder that discord has adopted a new arbitration policy, which means you have under 30 days to opt out of it

Opt-out. You can decline this Agreement to Arbitrate-and no other provision of these terms-by emailing an opt-out notice to arbitration-opt-out@discord.com within 30 days of September 29, 2025 or when you first register your Discord account, whichever is later; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate Disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate, Discord also will not be bound by it and there shall be no arbitration agreement existing between you and Discord, whether under these or prior arbitration provisions. If you opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate, you may exercise your right to a trial by jury or judge, as permitted by applicable law, but any prior existing agreement to arbitrate Disputes will not apply to claims not yet filed. If you opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate, you will not be opting out of any other provision of these terms and you agree to be bound by all other provisions of these terms, which shall remain in effect as allowable by law

1-866-952-4456 to tell Netflix that in no way do you want Elon fucking Musk determining what you watch.

I just called, got through in about 15 seconds, and told them that I strongly support queer inclusion in their programming and that I will cancel my subscription if they cave.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

Fucking love it that ClickFix is being distributed by ads like this now, and google making it so popular ad blockers no longer work on their browser is only going to make things worse, please switch away from Chrome if you can.

Jesus Christ this is really bad. As a reminder, not just old people, but a lot of Gen Z and younger are also bad at computer because they grew up using smartphones to access the web.

When Chrome removed manifest v2 extension support simply to disable uBlock, I jumped ship to Vivaldi.

My laptop is unfortunately be seeing some issues that require “percussive maintenance”
I would love to get a new pc, but I might need to either look for a gaming laptop or even a 2nd hand business grade laptop.

Before the events of Sep 10th, KOSA was reported to be dead in the committee. Now they're using said events as an excuse to try to get the bill through.

Just because the debate guy got killed for his free speech doesn't mean they should take away yours.

US legislators are pushing harder to pass KOSA and repeal section 230.

Call your representatives ASAP and make your voice heard! Advocate for protecting section 230, and demand your reps oppose KOSA!

Bipartisan Push in Congress to Weaken Section 230, Expand Online Surveillance, and Increase Platform Liability

Calls for platform accountability came with few answers about who decides what speech is acceptable.

btw dont say "how do people fall for this" because the very nature of phishing is to seek out those who don't know how to recognize it. instead, post stuff like this to warn and increase awareness

I simply cannot stress it enough.

You cannot sit this out.

They are coming for EVERYTHING. No media, no creators are safe under these policies. They want us poor, they want us criminalized, they want us disenfranchised.

Call paypros. Call your reps. Do SOMETHING.

Woke up to quite the update on this. I had been in contact with Payment Cloud about getting their service and they waited until now to hit me with the image below. Again, stringing me along instead of being upfront. They had seen my website multiple times before this.

An image taken from an e-mail from Payment Cloud to me. They list prohibited adult work, one of which just includes "Fantasy" which is as wide as cat ears and fairies. We are so cooked.

This is why it's important for you to remove source identifiers from links!!

A PSA telling you to remove everything that follows a question mark in a link due to it being used to track who you share things with. Common trackers are ?utm_source and ?si . This is the best I can do with my dyslexia trying to transcribe this, I'm sorry.
