I am begging every business to remember the freedom and value of making "a real website"
New: As gay bars across the country say that Meta is flagging and deactivating their accounts without warning, I spoke to an Austin queer bar that says Meta nearly destroyed their ability to advertise events: www.chron.com/culture/arti...
How Meta's new content moderation upended a Texas gay bar
At least one LGBTQ establishment in Texas says the social media giant has incorrectly disabled its social media account, potentially hurting business.

It's weirdly hard to find a goodbreplacement for samsungs reminders app

Remember is the best one so far just because I can tap "soon" and type a time into a field, but it still takes way more than just typing the exact time and date I want into the note

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk:

How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.
Yet again, the Game UI Database is being scraped to the point that it's getting knocked offline. Even Cloudflare's "I'm under attack" mode isn't working.
I just wanted to create a resource for real designers. I'm getting so fucking sick of this.

I'm categorized as an AI subscriber, because I'm subscribed to the 3 TB tier of Google Drive and and they literally just changed the name of the plan to "Google AI Plus."

Those "AI subscriber" numbers are 100 percent juiced and phony, and you're a sucker if you believe otherwise.
I dont usually do this but everybody should block this asshole.

CSP being pressed to take even just /kissing/ off their asset store and FA being told that plus sized characters are considered adult should be a giant waving red flag to folks. Sex workers have /always/ been right to say these policies never stop with 1 type of content. They always wanna ban more.

The bill has been opened to feedback. Rather than dooming about the proposal, you can tell them exactly how you feel about the act here. ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet...

With how much of an uphill battle Chat Control is having, you should never assume it's worthless to fight these draconian bills.

I mean it very sincerely when I say that Furaffinity is one of the last good websites left on the internet.

If you care about the fandom, please consider supporting it

In regard to FurAffinity being at risk due to censorship:

Furries are now political targets.
We are getting namedropped at high levels of government.
They know that we are a large, influential, largely queer, community.

Fighting for the spaces owned by our community is incredibly important

Okay hold on, if Max Mittelman was involved in Date Everything and voices some of the characters, then some might sound like Filbo, which would mean I want to play it

FA is being very up front about both the cost of hosting the site [it aint cheap] and how advertisers theyd been relying on prior are pushing all the same puritan bullshit weve been seeing other platforms push

FA is one of very few Old Internet spaces around. Support em while we CAN

"The current level of political animosity is exactly what one would expect to see if an extremist faction attempted to rescind the hard-earned rights of the vast majority of the country’s citizens."

There's still shit for openings in other departments

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...

I can't understand why so amny artists only post their art on social media, sometimes only bluesky

It's practically unsearchable and subject to spontaneous vanishing, like all that Bugsnax fanart on Tumblr I can't find anymore
