Against the Censorship of Adult Content By Payment Processors
This is a furry blog, where I write about whatever interests me and sign it with my fursona's name. I sometimes talk about furry fandom topics, but I sometimes also talk about applied cryptography. If you got a mild bit of emotional whiplash from that sentence, the best list of posts to start reading to get a feel for my usual fare is…

As despicable as it is at face value, banning "adult content" is code for deplatforming queer creators and stories. The purpose isn't to keep kids safe, it's to continue uprooting and criminalizing LGBTQ+ communities.

Just a quick experiment, with 3 minutes of the song's 5. It'd be good to shoot new stuff for all these odds and ends, but I don't want to put too much time or effort, otherwise I'd do a proper release.

Anyway, a bit of Aerith's Theme from FF7

So Typst is pretty neat! I never did sit down to learn LaTeX but I was able to generate some nice reports using Typst with very little effort.
Gonna have to look to see how difficult it would be to generate documents entirely programmatically instead of exporting something for the CLI.

A bunch of losers went out and threw Nazi salutes in Alberta, Canada yesterday while holding racist signs.

Might be time for the media to stop calling them “hand gestures” and start reporting on this big fucking problem for what it is!

No coincidence that the UCP targets cuts in YEG, YYC & Lethbridge. Another example of punishing people who don’t vote for them and targeting our most vulnerable. We’re probably paying more for Stormy Dani to suck up to the orange felon than it would cost to honour these contracts. Deplorable

Paul Graham's latest piece is the hottest piece of garbage he's ever written -- which honestly is really saying something. But I take solace in the HN comments, the most upvoted of which observes that his mind has turned to mush. news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4268...

You are not buying access to the artist! You are buying the art and the value they place on their own effort to create the art! You are not owed the privilege of their time!
i love it when you say “i will not be working with you at this time” and they get so flustered and demand to know why as if you ~Have~ to do what they say, no ! accept the no !

This is how Bluesky could implement "limited audiences" (a.k.a. private accounts) without changing their architecture. Instead, it uses state-of-the-art cryptography
