Age verification is deanonymization,
Deanonymization is censorship.
The Supreme Court is now taking away your right to anonymously *read* a form of speech. If speaking can mean that your readers have to subject themselves to potential consequences to read it, how can there be freedom of speech?

NEW: In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court held that age verification for explicit sites is constitutional. The majority said it protects minors without violating free speech; dissenters warned it burdens adults’ rights and ignores First Amendment precedent.

Installing Pop!_OS 24.04 with Cosmic on my main laptop (ThinkPad L14 1st Gen w/ Ryzen 7). 😅
I had a 1 TB Orico NVMe 4.0 drive purchased before the memory crisis. Moved my Solidigm drive over to a ThinkPad L490 so I can still access stuff.
Oh, install is done. 🎉

Grumble grumble.
I was trying to build Inkscape from sources, but that requires I upgrade my base Ubuntu version; I'm on Pop!_OS 22.04, but need 24.04.

Bizarre new wireless controller! Has a curved screen, a heart rate monitor, adjustable height hall effect sticks, hall effect triggers, a transparent faceplate so you can watch the rumble motors spin... 🤔 That last point is IMO pretty cool.

Ludum Dare's data is on Akamai/Linode, but some of my things are on CloudFlare.
Welp, I've been "chosen" by CloudFlare Accounting for a "Account Review"—something I don't have time for as I continue struggling to find work 😢—so my sincerest apologies for any personal and #LDJam service outages. 😖

Can anyone recommend a quality DNS host with an API for editing/updating records?
Ugh. I'm jobless and struggling to pay my bills, and some f*CK from CloudFlare decided I've used enough "free tier services". 🤬
