- Comment on Tech giants turning blind eye to child sex abuse, Australian watchdog says 2 days ago:
Yes, fighting crime (especially such uncommon crime) is a lot more important than privacy or non-censorship. That is definitely the right attitude for a free society. Nothing bad can come from it. /s
John Perry Barlow was right with his Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace.
- Comment on Australia Completely Loses The Plot, Plans To Ban Kids From Watching YouTube 2 days ago:
pretty sure they don’t, those last things are already (or will be?) banned for young people in Australia :(
If I hadn’t had the Internet growing up, I would have 0 (zero) positive memories of my preteen and teenage years. People who want to take that away from future generations are truly pure evil. I have no other words.

In Austria, vacation days expire two years after the end of the vacation year in which they were created. So you can save up vacation days, but not all of them for four years. You can do things like: go on only two weeks of vacation in year 1, then eight weeks in year 2.

- Comment on Itch.io are seeking out new payment processors who are more comfortable with adult material 1 week ago:
The problem with pro-censorship activism is that pro-censorship activists will find out where something they want to censor is now hosted and then go after that with the same methods they used for the place it was previously hosted on.
This wasn’t about gaming, but explains the methods: slatestarcodex.com/…/rip-culture-war-thread/
- Comment on Anon witnesses excellent security 1 week ago:
The greentext reminds me of this FAQ entry: www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/…/faq.html#f…
A.9.17 As one of our existing software vendors, can you just fill in this questionnaire for us?
We periodically receive requests like this, from organisations which have apparently sent out a form letter to everyone listed in their big spreadsheet of ‘software vendors’ requiring them all to answer some long list of questions […]
We don’t make a habit of responding in full to these questionnaires, because we are not a software vendor.
A software vendor is a company to which you are paying lots of money in return for some software. They know who you are, and they know you’re paying them money; so they have an incentive to fill in your forms and questionnaires […] because they want to keep being paid.
[…]
If you work for an organisation which you think might be at risk of making this mistake, we urge you to reorganise your list of software suppliers so that it clearly distinguishes paid vendors who know about you from free software developers who don’t have any idea who you are. Then, only send out these mass mailings to the former.
