There is a counter-campaign to call the payment processors and demand they reverse the censorship, see here for who to call and write bsky.app/profile/meltingcomet.

A lot of these payment processors are headquartered in California. If you're a vendor that's been discriminated against (for example, if you're an LGBTQ artist whose content has been censored) you can file a civil rights complaint at calcivilrights.ca.gov/complain

New California state law may also be needed to require large payment processors to accept payments for any legal business, similar to how a utility or railroad have to serve everyone. Talk to your state legislators. 4/

If people want to do something about the itch.io thing, a number of us engineers, artists, and community members are gathering together to plan for and build a real alternative that's genuinely resistant to this kind of censorship in a way centralized platforms with singular payment processor relationships simply can't be

Join us! We need all the help we can get.

I should start jumping everywhere I go instead of fast walking so I can train my acrobatics and agility skill tree. Works for me in videogames so why not 🤷

This UK surveillance thing is a great reminder of why p2p can be helpful.

Though TBH the Mastercard censorship is making me reconsider bitcoin. 😅 Depending on centralized infra puts you at the whims of authoritarians.

Every little website is being pushed onto Facebook thanks to the computer illiterate duckheads in UK Parliament. We'll played MPs, people are much more vulnerable on Facebook you cuckwombles 🤬

As a Meta employee, I can honestly tell you what we know, and I do not know how we obtain all of it.

* Your full name
* Your full home address
* Your phone number
* Your e-mail
* Your government ID
* Your consumer report history
* The name of every family member
* The name of every friend
* The name of their family / friends
* Your marital status
* If you are faithful to your partner
* Your work history (all of it)
* Your education history (all of it)
* Your travel history (going back years)
* Your birth gender
* Your gender ID
* Your sexuality
* Your sexual preferences
* How often you're having sex
* Your partner's details (all the above)
* Your political ideology
* Your involvement with any group
* If you protest, we know
* If you're unhappy, we know

The amount of information we collect on you is insane. And we do it all for supposedly marketing and yes, we help the government since they have access to all this too.

So when someone says they want to avoid META or GOOGLE - respect.

Explicit guidance from my boss that even though persons A and B are best and fastest at doing the task, we're going to use persons A and C and deliver it slower.

This is so that C learns and takes some of the pressure off A and B for later. Person D is queued up to for this later in the year.

We are choosing to deliver software more slowly so we can spread the knowledge out and not burn out two very good engineers. I never thought I'd work in a company like this.

I caved and ordered an SR08 smart ring. Really want to add air mouse support to it with some custom firmware.

We're experimenting with federated geosocial features in Bonfire, free from surveillance capitalism.
Check into your local community garden. Add location to mutual aid requests. Find tools nearby.
Imagine your local fablab or community center sharing check-ins, calendars, events, opening hours - all federated. A living hub for what's happening there.
🔧 github.com/bonfire-networks/bo

This unlocks new possibilities for local organizing, let's explore together 🔥

Still get nightmares about the effort I had to put into doing multicast UDP over Android wifi hotspots.

Thinking I might apply for some jobs. I’ve had a pretty easy ride doing freelancing gigs for the past 5 years, mostly due to my specialized Filecoin knowledge. I’ve been doing less and less of that lately, and more Hex.Camp, but that doesn’t pay the bills. I’d appreciate any leads!

For those not in the know, here's a pic of me using my GPD Win 4. Usually I wear my head mounted display but it was more comfy to code like this at the time. This is the machine I do all my dev on.

Per WaPo: U.S. state and federal government agencies have already been breached by the SharePoint zero-day bug. Commercial sector also affected. Tens of thousands of SharePoint self-hosted servers around the world at risk.

@alcinnz One topic that I feel isn't explored enough is software efficiancy on all levels. You can use software from the 90s to do the same work that was possible back then (search for information online, listen so music, design a flyer or write some document, so some calculations in a complex spreadsheet, even watch videos) and it will be incredibly snappy with minimal latency. Experiments like that show how much worse software has effectively become over the years, from the performance point of view.

I remember when I installed Windows 95 on a 2 GHz Athlon XP or something once and when I clicked the start button it felt like the menu was open before I even clicked. Because we're used to a little bit of latency. You can't get this effect even on a modern PC when you install Windows 95 in a VM because of all the stuff modern systems add.

How nuch of the modern abstraction layers do we really need; How much do we want? And how much do we just use out of convenience? Are native apps really not feasable anymore in a commercial envirenment? Then maybe something needs to be changed in the envirenment.

How much energy could be saved over decades if certain coding principles with efficiancy in mind would be adopted instead of making the task more complex all the time?
