Quick reminder that Spotify's CEO doesn't care at all about what you think, nor artists or listeners.
If you ever want to move to Deezer (still crossing fingers they do not jump into AI too), they have a tool to import all your Spotify's playlists.

Plus : Spotify audio quality sucks.

If you didn't care about the porn ban before, you need to now.

Because they're banning fucking cat ears.

Cat. Ears.

Woke up to quite the update on this. I had been in contact with Payment Cloud about getting their service and they waited until now to hit me with the image below. Again, stringing me along instead of being upfront. They had seen my website multiple times before this.

An image taken from an e-mail from Payment Cloud to me. They list prohibited adult work, one of which just includes "Fantasy" which is as wide as cat ears and fairies. We are so cooked.

Hey, to the ppl in the undecided and support countries, can you do the thing? And since there is no danger to out yourself as an adult content enjoyer, tell your parents, siblings, relatives and friends.
fightchatcontrol.eu has contact for your reps. This is an outrage.

I cannot overstate just how awful this stupid fucking bill proposal is

- adding backdoors into encryption on OS level
- "sniff" every single message before it gets encrypted AND SAVE IT CENTRALLY
- let a goddamn hallucinating "AI" mark people as criminals

it needs to be stopped, post haste

And on the subject of #realartatters: AI poisoning tool NIGHTSHADE is now free for artists to use: venturebeat.com/ai/nightshad...

Nightshade, the free tool that ‘poisons’ AI models, is now available for artists to use

The tool's creators are seeking to make it so that AI model developers must pay artists to train on data from them that is uncorrupted.

‼ Fight Chat Control - protect EU digital privacy! ‼

The EU may soon mandate scanning private messages and photos, possibly by October.

PLEASE, contact your MEPs now - the site has their details (for all EU countries!) and even a message generator to make it easy!

https://fightchatcontrol.eu/

Screenshot of https://fightchatcontrol.eu/

The EU (still) wants to scan your private messages and photos

The "Chat Control" proposal would mandate scanning of all private digital communications, including encrypted messages and photos. This threatens fundamental privacy rights and digital security for all EU citizens.

Currently: 3 member states opposing, 15 member states, 9 member states undecided

You Will Be Impacted

Every photo, every message, every file you send will be automatically scanned—without your consent or suspicion. This is not about catching criminals. It is mass surveillance imposed on all 450 million citizens of the European Union.

Mass Surveillance - Every private message, photo, and file scanned automatically: no suspicion required, no exceptions*, even encrypted communications.

Breaking Encryption - Weakening or breaking end-to-end encryption exposes everyone's communications—including sensitive financial, medical, and private data—to hackers, criminals, and hostile actors.

Fundamental Rights - Undermines your fundamental rights to privacy and data protection, as guaranteed by Articles 7 and 8 of the EU Charter—rights considered core to European democratic values.

False Positives - Automated scanners routinely misidentify innocent content, such as vacation photos or private jokes, as illegal, putting ordinary people at risk of false accusations and damaging investigations.

Ineffective Child Protection - Child protection experts and organisations, including the UN, warn that mass surveillance fails to prevent abuse and actually makes children less safe—by weakening security for everyone and diverting resources from proven protective measures.

Global Precedent - Creates a dangerous global precedent enabling authoritarian governments, citing EU policy, to roll out intrusive surveillance at home, undermining privacy and free expression worldwide.

Duolingo's CEO has been vocal about replacing human staff with trash AI that's more likely to get translations wrong and make your learning subpar.

Stop using Duolingo. Uninstall it. Leave comments and reviews that you'll come back once they put people first again.
