Bilb!

This is absolutely insane. Russia is NOT the root cause of anything bad happening in the United States. Pull your head out of your ass.

Is pedophilia really that prevalent? If Epstein called me and was like “bilb I have a smoking hot 14 year old ready for you” I would not be enticed.

Then again I’m gay and attracted to the more hairy and old type of man

This edit ruins the point of the comic entirely.

Illegal content is already illegal.

I think it actually is more complicated. There are anti obscenity laws in the United States where these companies (Steam and Itch.io, but also Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and Paypal) are based. The way those laws have been applied have been mostly permissive in the recent past, but I think there’s reason to believe that this could change quickly. We may find ourselves in a situation where the highest court decides that this has all been illegal this whole time. Procedural and legal norms are feeling a bit shaky these days. People wonder why payment processors would bend over backwards on behalf of some group of aussie weirdos, but maybe being on their good side isn’t the concern. Maybe it’s that they’re trying to self regulate to get ahead of any government action. Collective Shout may just be highlighting to them the most risky instances, making it so that they have no plausible deniability with regards to the content they are processing payments for.

Microsoft and other large corporations do love open source. Open source software saves them tons of money.

It’s worth remembering that this is not the type of textbook used in American public schools and most American students do not attend weird private religious schools. I was also raised as a Catholic and learning about science (including evolution through natural selection, of course) was always encouraged. Evangelicals are nuts.

Aircraft carriers don’t let me travel to my destinations

What a friendly looking physician

Hmm… Rabbet

Oh, so that’s what Anemoiapolis is named after.

I completely get it. If I didn’t have a sense of humor about it I’d be miserable.

Furry by itself is largely no longer considered shocking and may even be getting close to mundane, but the thing to remember is that furry pornography can be and often is also in another kinky category at the same time. I think people who are into furry stuff (which includes myself, I’m not being judgemental either) may be more likely to be sexually “adventurous” in other ways as well.

Webassembly frameworks.

Blazor! But only because I’m a dotnet guy professionally.

Yew? I’m not good enough with Rust to have tried it.

Not develop their own hardware, but contract an established manufacturer to do it for them. Which is good, they have no business doing hardware!

Yeah, better to just do old fashioned bloodletting.

Cool Desktop Environment 😎

I don’t like using GNOME desktop or apps, but that’s not because its bad or less capable for my usage. I just don’t prefer their design philosophies. I’m grateful that it exists nonetheless. Linux desktop users are spoiled by how many great choices we have.

I’ve actually wanted such a system to exist and to be available for general use so that one could made social communities for, e.g. (real) people over the 30. Make it work similar to oauth. I think that sounds great honestly. Of course, if you wanted to be strict about it your community would only be from places that have this verification system in place.

this place isn’t much better than Reddit

It’s 95% enthusiastic Reddit users/former users! The advantage (which has pros and cons) is the structure not allowing top down control of the entire network. I prefer this to the monolithic Reddit for the most part.

New York City will use ranked choice voting for Primary and Special Elections for the offices of Mayor, Public Advocate, Comptroller, Borough President and City Council, due to an amendment in the City Charter approved by voters in 2019.

This appears to say that it is for primaries, not the general election.
