Oh hey fuck this entirely.

If LinkedIn is going to actively start removing hate speech protections for trans people, it might be time to start petitioning certain groups to make their feelings known to LinkedIn, at scale

Beyond impossible.

The FTC is seeking public comment about gender affirming care in order to go after providers and restrict access. Share your stories instead of how this care has helped you and how it is life saving.

We need to counteract their false narratives. Please share!

The inaccuracy of language around AI is a serious, SERIOUS detriment to understanding. AI that makes a goomba move is not ML, ML is not an LLM, LLMs aren't even image diffusion models! "AI" as an umbrella term for so many disparate technologies is a prime vector for the harm being wrought.

I did this last night, and literally this morning a friend who writes fic has had her whole account restricted, and when I try to access writing that I've edited/collaborated on, this is what I get:

oof.

DS Destruction VODs This is where I upload the full playthrough of each game I played on DS Destruction, a project where I aim to beat all 1700 Nintendo DS games ever released in North America! To watch it live, go to ht...

I'm 8 subs away from 1000 subs on my VOD channel, if anyone wants to help push it over that threshold! 👀I upload all my playthroughs from DS Destruction to this channel the day after I do them, if you need background noise or are curious about certain DS games!

Post on /r/transgenderUK entitled “Reddit now censors LGBTQ+ content under OFCOM’s new ‘Online Safety Act’”

post text: “I honestly can't even think of words to describe how vile this is. Here's a screenshot of what I now see when I search "lgbt" with my VPN switched off. Occasionally a banner appears at the top of the screen saying something about needing to verify ID to access "mature content" but the button doesn't even work. The fact that we're now considered "mature content" makes me feel sick.”

The screenshot referenced in the previous image, showing the results of a search on Reddit for the term LGBT. No results from LGBT-specific subreddits appear; instead, posts from /r/Conservative, /r/Islam, /r/JustUnsubbed, etc are highlighted.

the UK’s Internet age verification law has led to the effective censorship of all LGBT content on Reddit

what a shocking and unexpected turn of events!

I have no intention of supporting this or any of your company's future work. This woman is actively supporting the death of trans people in the UK and rolling back trans rights worldwide. Really poor choice to support bigots.

Dont stop contacting Visa/MC, but Itch needs Stripe specifically pressured right now.

Disability Pride Against Censorship We’re Disabled and Queer — Itch.io and the Payment Processors Are Starving Us.

We're disabled and queer. 🏳️🌈 We sell our writing to eat.

We launched two book sales — each has 20 books for $30. Itch bowed to conservative pressure, and hid them without warning.

Do you agree this is bullshit? Then help us make them pay.

To everyone who wants Visa and Mastercard to stop screwing with our platforms:

This thread contains everything you need to fight back!

- A script
- Form links
- Email addresses
- Phone numbers
- Petitions
- and more!

Let's flood these fuckers with complaints until they get the message!

www.mastercard.com/global/en/vi... lists numbers for corporate offices, I don't know a good script but I would say a decent thing to say is that you want Mastercard to stop doing censorship by fiat. I'd also suggest that if you have a big following, to pressure any journalists in tech to speak up

They're not going to be happy until open queerness has been completely eradicated from the internet. Our community is going to have to return to the system of codes and symbols akin to what we had in the past if we are going to want to be able to exist online at all. That is not hyperbole.

This is true. I added the NSFW tag to one of my games and watched it disappear from the search results with my own eyes. Even with a direct title search. @itch.io this is cowardly censorship and against what this indie platform is supposed to stand for. We will not accept this.

oh damn. If you want to lean into that flavor profile, you might add some chili oil or doubanjiang too -- that's a classic "ma la" combo.

. #TTRPG design rule number one is: rules cannot stop cheating or ill-intent at the table.

There are no rules systems that can bring an uncooperative or unpleasant player under control or convert them into a good player.

Write to assume that the players are present out of good will.

Humble Bundle closed the bundle ( www.humblebundle.com/books/unoffi... ) Thank you everyone for speaking up, and turning what was just a quick vent into collective action.

For exercise's sake, my solution for this is:
401-402 →
← 403-409
410-411 →
While I could put both the right-pointing ranges in the same block, that can lead to confusion. Instead I alternate the arrows and use the reader's intuition to read numbers in ascending order to help guide them.
