They have been sanctioning sites like pixiv for years, and last year also were the reason Ken Akamatsu’s (Love Hina author) manga archive site for out of print manga was shutdown, and why sites like Melonbooks (one of the largest in japan) only can accept JCB payment now.

Visa and MasterCard have a history of sanctioning anything that has anime and manga adult content, and I’m not talking about loli, just any adult content.

GrapheneOS is literally better than stock android.

He deserves heavy compensation, and the people involved need to be fired.

I thought they were moving to closed source entirely which is against the GPL license but I didn’t properly read the article it seems.

JCB is a japanese alternative to the American credit card payment processors.

It didn’t participate in visa and MasterCard’s collusion to boycott and bankrupt manga, anime and art sites.

This is why open source should use the GPL license.

Maybe if we ask nicely.

Next do the Happy Science cult and their “spiritual vaccines”. I feel sick whenever I see their headquarters in Japan.

It’s among the next 3 things on the list. You can expect it in gimp 3.1.0 in 2056

I for one will be looking forward to getting mid-spec PCs dirt cheap.

Who just casually overstays their visa and goes traveling? Overstaying your visa essentially guarantees you’ll never be able to renew your visa again in many countries, and is a personal fear of mine.

The husband voted trump, but the wife is the bigger idiot.

If you switch to programming.dev most political stuff gets automatically filtered away unless you’re subscribed to it. Give it a try.

You don’t need to convince me that trump is a horrible person.

However the words used in OPs title are misleading and bad faith. As for who saw trump’s post, sure it matters morally, but it isn’t what I’m trying to point out here.

“Trump posted Nazi era symbols” is disingenuous and doesn’t help our side.

I meant the thumbnail appeared after he pressed “post”, not that the article was edited. I say likely because as a software engineer I know how thumbnails generally are loaded on sites like these. They’re not part of the “post” data, and appear a short while afterwards as the site fetches metadata from the linked site and creates the thumbnail in the background so it doesn’t force the user to wait.

I would say maybe snopes can’t tell the difference between posting an image vs posting an article and have an automatic system generate the image, but what actually is going to happen is the maga people are going to say “see, I knew the fact checkers were biased. They intentionally make bad faith articles like these”

The platform automatically adds the thumbnail, so it was the platform that posted the symbol, and it was likely added after he posted.

Requiring you to register with a real phone number, bothering you with logging in globally, linking your minecraft account to your entire windows PC (thank God for Linux), and introducing special features in a microtransaction-riddled version of the game is just the early middle stage of enshittification. Next comes removal of old features as more players switch to bedrock to enjoy the new special features.

The Java edition is in the middle of being phased out. They’ve only kept it for this long because bedrock is inferior and unplayable on most devices. It may look like Microsoft kept it out of kindness, but I assure you it will be gone soon.

I lost my minecraft account when I refused to migrate from mojang to Microsoft. I should own a copy, therefore piracy is morally justified. Minecraft overall was supposed to be an indie game with self-hosted servers, but it gradually became enshittified when Microsoft bought it.

Should have used Rust.

We’re in the ai-ren timeline.

Opinion:

Bluesky is American with the vast majority of users on one single instance based in Seattle, so I wouldn’t recommend it over mastodon which truly is decentralized.

Also revanced is old and overly complicated in comparison to freetube and Grayjay. While Grayjay is American, it is ran by Louis Rossman, and is consumer rights friendly on a level higher than many European alternatives.
