Someone breaks down why it’d be a monumental task for Valve/Itch to vertically integrate the whole payment processing thing into their business. The essay is highly readable.

The only thing I had to look up was
Escrow: a financial arrangement w/ a third party who holds/manages funds on behalf of two parties in a transaction

My takeaway was that Valve/itch/GOG would still be beholden to the banks who track porn as high risk for fraudulent transactions.

So what can we do about it? ~asking in earnest, btw. I buy porn and toys like a regular ass person, too~

Yes.

Whatchu gonna do about it?
~(not asking specifically you, bridge, just didn’t want to leave the thread at a circle jerk)~

How’d they change it to ruin it? I only played for a few months after it released

For me, Tumblr was an online culture different from the ADHD of other journaling/blogging platforms like Instagram or Twitter. You could find conversations in tags, gifs didn’t lag my browser to hell, fan content was proliferous there, webpages could be personalized to the lengths you might’ve gone to in MySpace. It was the place to find fandoms and fandom content, even for the most obscure series. There were no ads. And I felt like gifs/texts of porn and kinks were made more accessible when searched for by tags.

There was no algorithm - discovery of new blogs was just subscribing to tags & maybe following who your followed-people followed, the way the fediverse kinda is.

I felt like the presentation was good to relish each post of content with less distraction, and the pagination + scroll browsing was just enough to keep me addicted.

Someone correct me if I’m remembering it wrong.

RIP 2011 Tumblr

@gabboman@app.wafrn.net ,

Is registration on the wafrn website backlogged? I submitted a registration bout 12 hours ago, and the registration page said to wait a few hours for review. Got nothin in my email just yet. Not that I’m antsy, and there’s no rush; just hoping to know when I should follow up to log in :u

I didn’t get any email confirmation about my submitted registration, I realize. I refrained to keep from spamming, but… Should I actually submit another? :x
Edit: think I saw the fdroid app & submitted my registration form there, mentioning in case it’s relevant

Thank you for this! I’m not sure how I would’ve found out about Wafrn otherwise, lol

When prisons are for-profit –

Does the laptop have any Fn key perhaps? In case all your F keys are set to media keys.

Mods should just redirect them to !mothmemes@lemmy.world

Throwback to subreddit mothmemes 💡

Reminded me of this Technology Connections video, in which the dude explained (among other brake-light related things) how some law allows electric vehicles to get away with not using their brake lights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0YW7x9U5TQ

Thanks! I added a preset for mic noise canceling someone added here https://github.com/wwmm/easyeffects/wiki/Community-presets
And it worked so much better than what I used in obs. I added pitch effect at the end of my filter list, too.

Good question. OEMs do usually last longer than third party strains. The higher cost is usually worth it because it will probably last until you run your vehicle into the ground

This reminded me of that one London Bridge, lol https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/11/051103080801.htm

Jumping on the topic of popular ideas that’ve worked - I have family that works eight 9-hour days, one 8-hour day, and chooses either a Monday or Friday off. This is every two weeks. It still squeezes in 40 hours, and he likes it better than all 8-hour days.

I’m pretty sure martial law is worth rioting over anyway

It was the Muse album Drones that I bought from the band’s website. I thiiiink I shared a link to the folder to my netbook with a different account to download to, and then I didn’t notice til later (maybe it was a week? A month?) the folder of just this muse album was empty.

Idr checking the trash can for my Google drive or anything. I don’t think I got a notice because I searched “copyright” in my emails circa 2015, and nothing related to removing my files popped up.
