Being constantly and actively scrubbed from the internet by political and financial powers deeming your existence "illegal" or "obscene" while the tech scene marginalizes you for being "unprofessional", really taints how you look at projects trying to "fix computing" because you aren't included by default.

You can really smell when someone's threat model doesn't include "you have been suddenly cut off from funding, community, or both and the average person doesn't care or thinks it was 'justified but a little heavy handed'"


The deeper we get into this new reality the more it seems like there is no evidence that Netanyahu has a line he won’t cross that is different from “as much as I can get away with” when it comes to inflicting harm on Gazans.

At least one Republican has come out against Trump giving Maxwell a pardon. I didn't know that! The Q(uestioning) part of the base is generally lost over this even if MAGA's leaders are in on the spin. Also seems to poke on the "small government" bone that so rarely gets rubbed in the GOP now.

Those sniper bullets and rockets have your and my names on them; those wasted children who’re dying in the agony of starvation belong to us; and it’s our politicians who’re propping up Israel’s corrupt prime minister and war machine.

why conditionally?



In addition to payment processing, our refusal to prohibit legal adult content makes it incredibly difficult for us to get certain types of insurance. (Like, more than one carrier has literally told us “we can’t write insurance for somebody falling and hurting themselves in your office because you won’t prohibit adult content on your servers.” Oh, fuck off!)


The fuck? That's utterly insane.

don't leave out the best part!

Also, the Fair Access to Banking Act (FABA) is currently in the US Senate and would prohibit banks and payment processors from putting this type of pressure on businesses engaged in legal activity. It was introduced and co-sponsored by 43 Republican Senators big mad about alleged bias against conservative businesses. If you’re in the US, please encourage your elected representatives to support it, if not because it would really help this sort of thing then because irony is an important part of a good, nutritious breakfast.


EDIT: see replies below; apparently it specifically excludes "adult" stuff :c

@amberage I don't have a link but I've seen some posts on Tumblr exaining why this isn't a good bill to support. It has language to leave out porn and adult creators and artists and has been drafted and supported by various gun organizations, it's basically geared towards not allowing payment processors to avoid paying for various types of firearms & firearms supplies.
