Cancel your nitro. You should've already. I will not be nice about it if you're using nitro.
I will add pressure to this by saying that any company that claims to not hold onto your personal data after verifying you?
They're lying.
Ive been nitro free since the first time they tried this, voice how you feel with your wallet people. Make them really feel that squeeze.

Give good thoughts for my cat Reggie. He’s not doing well and I’m equally not dealing with it well.

Once again, Studio Canal is pulling movie licenses. Purchases to be outright erased from libraries. It's the same that happened in 2022 and during the Funimation-Crunchyroll merger. Digital is rental!

Hey seriously, literally in the bills it says they'll also use identifying information, such as your age data for "other purposes". That means your data goes into a government surveillance database. This would be for ANY *OS*, which is the thing your fucking PC runs off of.

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.
This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

This crap has absolutely nothing to do with protecting children and everything to do with forcing people to give up their privacy and data to companies like Palantir.
Colorado Democrats just introduced a bill in the state Senate to make it MANDATORY for OPERATING SYSTEMS TO USE AGE VERIFICATION DURING SYSTEM SETUP.
Even if you do not live in CO, you need to call up the bill's sponsors and scream. It WILL come to you next!
