Guys, do not use the Discord Checkpoint thing (Discord's attempt at Spotify Wrapped).
It requires enabling them access to scrape your data, and has an alarming amount of private data being used for it.
Make sure you have these disabled.

Naked authoritarian fascism. Love and support to the entire team at @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social, who *will* come out the other side of this horrendous abuse of power. Disgusted to see ABC caving to this glaringly illegal and unconstitutional threat from Brendan Carr.
Extraordinarily corrupt. I watched FCC chair Brendan Carr's full interview on Hannity. Carr basically said straight out that coverage of Trump he deems overly hostile can be decreed contrary to the "public interest," and thus grounds for yanking licenses:

If you want this to change, you have to give platforms like Itch (and Valve) *more* power to fight back against Collective Shout, not less — which means working with them to organize action even if you are frustrated or angered by the action they’ve been forced to take thus far.

a lot of this is more about the US and for good reason but the role of this exact thing being tried in the UK (with the involvement of several american interests) cant be overstated
it wasnt Christian Voice going around converting ppl or smth, it was like...the Guardian platforming JKR constantly

it is wild how many non-trans people seem to be taking an issue with this extremely correct thread: transphobia was an extreme minority position that was isolated to fringe reactionary christian conservatives, but through "liberal" publications laundering bigoted talking points it became accepted
There was an elite consensus against transphobia so strong Texas’ Republican Speaker of the House Joe Straus refused to pass a transphobic law, the public broadly agreed, and then a few elite liberals took it upon themselves to make transphobia popular and more or less succeeded.

IT IS PART OF THE FUCKING JOB! AND IF PUBLISHERS ARE JUST FINISHING FUND COMPANIES THEN THEY AREN'T PUBLISHERS THEY'RE JUST LOAN SHARKS!

(And I am fully qualified and certified to say this.)
Attended a few talks recently, and the advice on funding / publisher support seems backwards to the consensus of even a few years ago.
If publishers expect devs to take on all the risk before making a commitment, then what is the offer? What risk do they shoulder?
Risk is part of the job, no?

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa.
It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;)
It's so New York.

Creating a world free of bigotry, where everyone — no matter their sexual orientation — can live and love as their true selves is something I have fought for since I was Mayor of Burlington.
Happy Pride month to everyone in the LGBTQ community.
