Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio had a budget of $35 million and every single character was moved one frame at a time by a human being. What the fuck are we even doing!!!!!!!

The way I was taught to respond to this is “it’s no secret what you do on the toilet but you still lock the door”

Attention fellow AUSTRALIANS! 🇦🇺

We now have an official petition to parliament to STOP MASTERCARD and VISA from its campaign of censorship, restricting what legal products we can buy.

Please sign it now, and if you're not an Aussie, spread the word!

Search LibGen, the Pirated-Books Database That Meta Used to Train AI Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Petition Ban payment processors stopping services based on objections to legal content Government should legislate that payment processing companies may not place stipulations on use of their services regarding sales of otherwise legal content and, if they do so, must face legal penalties and must remunerate platforms and individuals for lost income until service is restored. • More details Sign this petition 231 signatures Show on a map 10,000

U.K. residents, could this be your chance to stop paypro censorship in the country? Please sign this petition

This is why I keep reminding everyone to keep calling. They're not backing down, they're doubling down. I know you're tired of seeing it, I am too, but we can't afford to stop. They can't be allowed to get away with it.

Don't stop calling.

Stop payment processors from censoring games!

Reminder that PayPal is now shutting down people's accounts for protesting, which CANNOT possibly be legal.

Keep calling, here's the updated info: stop-paypros.neocities.org

This is enormous Pratchett energy and I'm here for it.

Screenshot from a Tumblr post by ralfmaximus: Mozilla, in its finite wisdom, embedded LLM bots into recent versions of Firefox for the vitally-important purpose of… naming tab groups. Now, some users are noticing CPU and power usage spikes caused by a background process called Inference. Ugh. Reminder again for Firefox users to visit your about:config page, search for the browser.ml.chat.enabled key, and set that to false: If yours says true then double-click it until it reads false. Doing that turns off the AI chatbot features in Firefox, but also the stupid new LLM tab-naming feature that's rolling out

Hey Firefox users.

We really need an equivalent of common carrier laws for all infrastructure. Payment processors should be obligated to process all legal transactions. They shouldn't have any more say in it than my electric company can decide what I'm allowed to plug in.

This is a really, really good article. I highly recommend it

Hey europeople, did you email/call your MEPs telling them to stop chat control yet?

You can get help with your arguments, help with writing your email and find contact info at fightchatcontrol.eu

oh yeah before I forget, the kicker is that they want politicians (and persons they deem necessary or whatever) to be entirely exempt from this bullshit law, so y'know, rules for thee but not for me and all that fun stuff

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

Any backdoor - literally ANY SORT OF BACKDOOR - makes the system vulnerable. There is a pre-selected vulnerability in the security that malicious actors can exploit. This is a fucking TERRIBLE idea.

Hmm.
Looks good in 3d.

That TF story you commissioned? Account banned.

That vore comic? Banned.

That custom puphood? Banned.

That latex catsuit? Banned.

That fursuit? Furries are called deviants and sexual so... Banned.

You went to a con? A furry one? Banned.

CALL YOUR PAYMENT PROVIDERS!

WE'RE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIGHT AND PAYMENT PROCESSORS STILL AREN'T BACKING DOWN. WE HAVE NOT WON YET.

"It's not about protecting children, it's about control."

Funny how this applies to everything from women's body autonomy, to trans rights, to internet regulation, and so much more.

@zarpaulus.bsky.social already found their own work on this so yes, if you're a furry author you may find your work in this.

I'm seeing fewer posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation, and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them and losing them money.

Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.

It's pretty naive to assume that the drop in traffic to sites like pornhub is due to the OSA stopping kids from accessing it. I'm gonna wager that a significant chunk of the drop is from adults who, like me, don't think we should have to upload a face photo to the government in order to have a wank.

Im not a violent man by any means, but i do sincerely believe that if you're wearing a hidden always-on audio and video surveillance device, you should get a bopping from anyone who notices

Hey this is really fucking dire! Keep calling Stripe. This aligns with nothing they've previously told us

I was told directly by an aide on a call today that when a bill comes before a congressman, they specifically take their data from these calls and say "this is how many/who called in to vote yay/nay for this bill"

they actually do factor in how many people call on issues like these. do your calls!

Facing backlash and mounting pressure, Mastercard denies responsibility for adult content bans — despite evidence and industry responses suggesting otherwise. Your calls are working. Keep it up.
