This is "debanking", and its a problem that has plagued sex workers for decades. It isnt right when its targetting sex workers and its not right when its targetting game devs and creators either.

Give paypros and your givt reps your grievances and demand that debanking of adult content stop

Trans health waiting lists are a political choice I’m just back from an awesome trans healthcare conference in Norway (blog on that to follow). Here I wanted to share information from a presentation by the founder of the transit trans health…

The ‘Transit’ gender clinic in Spain has a 3 WEEK waiting list! 😳😳😳

It covers a population of 8 million, (equivalent to the population of Scotland & Wales combined, or 1/7th of the population of England) It has a total of 43 staff, a majority of whom are part-time, working 6-7 hours per week!

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

To get security updates, you need to pay *or* you need to be logged into a Microsoft account at least every 60 days. It's beyond obvious that Microsoft are using security updates as leverage to benefit themselves

You need to be signed into a Microsoft account to get the free Windows 10 security updates in the EU??? Guess I'll be scrambling to install Linux this weekend, because I did not know this before www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/wi...

the Rock Band 4 Rivals Expansion has been delisted on the Xbox store

it is still available to claim (for free) on PlayStation, both SIEA and SIEE - *claim it* if you have any intention of playing, it's required for online play, the Rivals Hub as well as the Rockudrama campaign

*to the tune of Super Sonic Racing* everybody's running in the 90s / it's a new way that I like to be / when you're running in the 90s / come on baby run to me

just a reminder that bandcamp friday is tomorrow & streaming services are interrupting music streams with ai generated shit, flooding the database with artists that don't exist in any way other than profiting the platform owners

so instead of paying a monthly fee, buy an album or two each month ok

The main character makes up weird nicknames for everyone, and Kurisu is on the receiving end more than anyone else

Rock Band 4 will delist on October 5, 2025 - "the original licenses for the core soundtrack are expiring"

DLC are delisting too

In today's payment processor news: Digital manga service Manga Planet is shutting down, citing "various circumstances" with "recent restrictions from payment processors" being the only explicitly mentioned cause. Besides regular manga, MP also hosts 18+ BL content under its Futekiya brand. #paypro

Chrome's adblock dying has really just shown how bad ads have gotten now huh

This appeared and fullscreened my window, hid my cursor, for clicking on a youtube download link lol

old people are just not built to handle this

This is something I came up with for use in Dolphin. Not sure if it's already in use elsewhere!

A quick way of checking if a floating-point number is normal:

1. Shift the bits left by one
2. Use a CLS (count leading sign bits) instruction
3. If the result is greater than or equal to the number of exponent bits, the number is non-normal (zero, denormal, NaN or infinity)

Paypros censorship is already limiting what kind of art can be made. Customers want to buy it, and developers want to make it, but Mastercard and Visa say NO to adult art made for an adult audience

it's an absolute miracle that GameFAQs is allowed to look like this in 2025 and hasn't been shitted up by a ton of graphics or annoying sidebars. keep in mind: this is with no adblock!

You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown:

social media saves the life of so many trans kids; I do think these websites are bad, they need to be regulated, but I also think any regulations like these in the current regimes, UK and US, are designed to strengthen the idea that kids are not independent actors but the property of their parents

I only ever see cis people talking about this 🙃

And if you're on Windows 10, soon sending your backups to Microsoft will be a condition for receiving *security updates*

the fact that the entire world must deal with the United States having a temper tantrum over smut is ridiculous

The police will call you about photos you post to private chats. They will do this almost immediately, it seems www.kenklippenstein.com/p/charlie-ki...

Sega Accused Of Using Police To Recover Nintendo Dev Kits It Had "Negligently Disposed Of".

You *can* use ACE to test for any hardware quirk, but why would you do that? Speedruns use ACE because they want to complete the game fast, and setting up a complex payload is going to take a lot longer

He has a point about the undocumented instructions, but a lot of the tests don't really matter

"This is the first:" The 16 year odyssey of "time, money, wrong turns and frustration" it took to finally emulate the Pioneer LaserActive In April 2009, a Sega fan decided to look into emulating the Mega LD, a quirky and little-known hybrid of Genesis and LaserDisc. This week he finished the job.

Until this week, it's been impossible to play the games of the 1993 Pioneer LaserActive without one of the vanishingly rare, disintegrating consoles.

Here's the story of the guy who's been trying to fix that for years -- and all the hardware and software he had to build to make it possible.

This is scary as hell, but for news coverage?

This is a GIFT.

"You can be banned for *buying* Game of Thrones." Send emails to journalists and news sites and communities you're a part of and talk about the dangers here.

People are going to care about this a lot more when it's not just creators.

This is a big threat to the touchHLE project and all emulators and software preservation projects on Android more generally. Please do what you can to push back against this, while you still can.
