Censorship is now coming for your dnd and your warhammer and your farming sim, they don't care if it's not adult content. They wanted everything
MasterCard is marketing its new MasterCard Threat Intelligence platform to issuers & acquirers. A source familiar w/ MasterCard’s internal operations told me MTI is flagging anime, VTubing, adult content, tabletop, video games as potentially “high fraud risk”

Something to note for those calling, you might want to try the “confusion” tactics more instead
It seems that Mastercard's number, 1-800-307-7309 won't take my complaint unless it's about a billing statement and transferred me to my bank. They've been taking my complaints for months now with this number, so this is strange. #SaveSpeech #StopPayPros
Anime, VTubing, adult content, table top, and videos games. So basically, anything fun is "high fraud risk". Got a complaint? Here's a list of their numbers. And a couple helpful links to contact other paypros. #SaveSpeech #StopPayPros

That sounds less like stuff that's genuinely any sort of risk, and more like a list of things culture-Karens and hysterical boomer parents would be against.

Or in other words, a direct attack on modern geek/online culture.

Today's learned lesson:

If you find a good software with a perpetual license for a good price, buy it before some big company buys it to make it free at first and monthly subscription based then.

I should have bought Affinity V2 this summer as I was about to do :')

The end result of giving undue weight to constant conservative bitching about welfare always seems to be a pinch-faced tightening of the purse and of access to it that, ironically, means it costs the public ever more due to red tape being expensive yet reaches fewer deserving people than ever before

Maybe they're wondering if it's the world's tiniest people smuggling operation.

FUCK AI
“FUCK AI” is turning into a movement.

After his Frankenstein Q&A at the Chinese Theater, Guillermo del Toro asked the audience to scream “FUCK AI.”

“Humans can just go get manual labor jobs if desk jobs are repaired with AI” is both not going to suffice to provide enough jobs and is also going to result in massive societal anger because manual labor jobs often *are terrible*, which is why people have worked hard to avoid them for generations.
Even if society provided the food/shelter level needs for everyone, humans also need to perform useful work just for basic fulfillment. The vast majority of people cannot sit around all day letting AI and robots do everything.

(The definition of “useful work” here is malleable but still essential)
I always suspect the RWer's screeching that stuff are just projecting their own behaviour if they had better social support onto others.
