[cosmikazie]

due to recent (and frankly ongoing as far as this website is concerned) events

[dynamaxed]

Y'all if you're American please email your politicians and senators against the parents decide act. I'm fucking begging because we're reaching a tipping point.

Call or Write Congress About H.R. 8250: Parents Decide Act - GovTrack.us

Quick and easy link to both find your congressmen/women and giving you a quick and easy way to copy / paste the message into it. You want to oppose. It's an act that will demand that all major OS makers integrate a direct forced age verification control into all OS.

[rudavoidish]

I received a comment on this that I figured would be very helpful- it's a template for communicating with your representatives. Be sure to use it for reference

Dear Representative [Name],

I am writing to express my strong opposition to H.R. 8250 (The "Parents Decide Act"). As your constituent and a concerned citizen, I believe this bill introduces unprecedented risks to digital privacy and security.

Specifically, I am alarmed by:

SEC. 2(a)(1)(B): Requiring age verification to even use an operating system creates a mandatory "hardware lockout" that ends anonymous computing and forces users to hand over sensitive identification data to major corporations just to power on their devices.

SEC. 2(a)(3): Mandating that OS providers create a system for all app developers to access verification data is a massive security vulnerability. This effectively creates a centralized API of user identities accessible to thousands of third-party developers, many of whom may lack adequate data protection.

This bill does not protect children; it creates a centralized surveillance infrastructure at the OS level. I urge you to protect the privacy of your constituents and vote NO on H.R. 8250.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

[Your Zip Code]

This is a hell that us down under in Australia are already living in, and it’s not even effective at what it claims to do in protecting children.

Given that, in the wake of this mandatory identification policy, my country seems to be moving to hand over its citizens biometric data, like fingerprints, Face ID files, and identification documents, over to the USA and to ICE to maintain the visa free travel (ESTA) we have, I strongly urge any US resident to send these emails, or make calls.

But if you can’t do that, the most powerful thing you can do is spread the word. Tell your friends, family, coworkers, anyone who can help.

My reach will likely be small, and so I don’t know if this will mean very much in the grand scheme of things, but I cannot stand to see this tracking happen to another population as it did to mine.

And if you think it won’t affect you, it will. All anonymity goes out the window when your accounts can be linked via your personal ID

I wish you all luck in preventing this act from going through.

It genuinely upsets me that there are people who call this animation and voice acting bad, there’s so much heart and soul on display in just this clip alone

[handsometabbyc]

At first glance: ‘lol this is going to be one of those hilariously cheap animations’

30 seconds in: ‘…Oh my god this is fantastic’

90% of robotlikers more often than not also like that one specific red-magenta color. We all just collectively share a hivemind.

This one.

We all saw this on a PC or in a piece of robot adjacent media ONCE and just decided it was THE color.

Yeah it works

Memphis is “under full-blown occupation” by ICE. Here’s why you may not know that.

Community members face retaliation for trying to spread the word out, a lawsuit alleges.

Ice operations have moved to harassing folk in Memphis

[castformbignaturals]

Huh. I wonder what else is going on in Tennessee (and specifically Memphis) right now?

Oh well, I’m sure it’s a total coincidence.

[quasi-normalcy]

(For those not in the know, @castformbignaturals is alluding to the fact Memphis is a majority Black city that stands to have its congressional representation entirely wiped out by redistricting led by the Republican governor of Tennessee who has, of course, welcomed the ICE occupation with open arms. Again, the project of MAGA is to reintroduce Jim Crow)

[noneedtofearorhope]

i think it's unfortunately a step beyond jim crow. they want to reintroduce chattel slavery.

not my tweet but I thought it would be a good psa for artists here too

Oh this is a common scam I find at work. Any file that:

isn't jpg, jpeg, pdf, or png

Is a file extension you don't recognise (this one is a visual basic file, used for scripting, but others like exe or bat are used)

has a very low or unexpected file size (this one's is less than 1KB, or 0.001MB, a good reference should be at least 500KB)

Is likely a scam. Stay safe kids.

Repost, now do your honors.

Trans people just existing is no more sexual than when cis people just exist.

tl;dr if everyone is guilty, big brother longer needs to differentiate between slave and free man when meting out punishment

Important rules for the "age verification" era of the internet that we're living in:

1. Do not do age verification.

2. If you have to do age verification, cheat. Do not under any circumstances give them your real ID.

Free Tool Says it Can Bypass Discord's Age Verification Check With a 3D Model

The tool presents users with a 3D model they can then manipulate to, the creator says, bypass Discord's age verification system.

Oh no I dropped my link, what a horrible thing! Sure hope this doesn't get reblogged until it reaches users from the UK and Brazil!

And remember to not make a second account just to test out what works best when verifying your identity

Settings ➡️ privacy ➡️ tracking ➡️ toggle "allow apps to request to track" to OFF

and ALSO settings ➡️ privacy ➡️ Apple advertising ➡️ toggle "personalized ads" to OFF

We tried to warn you about the "adult content" bans. Now Kickstarter is starting that shit

[problematic-faves-appreciation]

"It must have serious value!"

Staight-up sounds like obscenity law/Miller Test-type crap.

[queer-riot-dragon]

Okay but, beyond the porn ban, they are also banning insertable products as well as products for sexual pleasure OR products that pose a risk of injury. This... is a problem.

Kickstarter has been used to help with disability products. This includes products that are insertable and products for sexual pleasure. This would *also* include development of kink equipment for disabled kinksters.

This would also include innovative products designed for trans people that are insertable or wearable for sexual gratification.

This ban worries me. When will we stop being able to get safe sex toys? When will we stop being able to innovate for disabilities because of a lack of funding?

[doomboy911]

Oh get mad about this folks. Can't wait for the launch of Kinkstarter and the inevitable PG-ifiication when it starts to earn money.

Everyone talks about Caine interacting with Spamton or Bill as they're near godlike entities or Ai like him. You know who I want to see Caine spend time with that serves a very similar purpose to him.

Kind, considerate, and built to help people with their new lives. I want to see fan art of her doing her best to comfort Caine. Especially after episode 8 because who says Ai don't get a chance to go to the good place.
