Fuck, my protonmail just renewed too, so I am stuck with this for two years. Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiii---
Anyway. Gonna start actively looking for alternatives.
Any opinions on @startmail ? Or #posteo ?
Should have trusted my instincts when the crypto wallet came out and Lumo followed. ffs. SWITCHING IS SUCH A PAIN IN THE ASS AND THEY KNOW IT.
popping some popcorn for when the proton PR account tries posting a hilarious privacy meme on mastodon again

I'm tabling at Queer Panic X TONIGHT from 7pm-11pm: Wharf Chambers in Leeds!
Let's hope I can walk and eat and drink properly by then! (totally physically fucked up from trip yesterday)
No matter what, I'm wearing my beaked shoes :minette:
Pop along for some fab drag and spookies!
let's have a renaissance in free software, where instead of being myopic over source code availability and licensing, we have a more holistic movement
yes, source code must still be available under a free software license, but we must demand more than the bare minimum
i suggest we start using a document like VALUES.md to note the values that the software project has
yes, fuck "open source". we don't need "open source"
what we need is free software, and we need it in the most holistic way possible. software which goes against all hierarchies: anti-fascist, feminist, anti-racist, lgbtq+ inclusive, anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, anti-genai, etc
yes, this includes source availability under a free software license. of course it does, it's still free software
and we need it for everyone, not just power users. everyone should be empowered and we should be in solidarity with the whole working class

The "made with AI" thing is a good start but I want *more* mandatory disclosures on Steam.
"This game was made by a studio that required devs to work six months of crunch."
"This game was made by union-busters."
"75% of this team was laid off the day after it shipped."
"Profits from this game enrich the Saudi Government."
Any others?

Well this is eleventy-million kinds of Fucked Up. LA Times (who once contracted with me as a freelance reviewer and whom I struggled to get paid by) asserts that *merely reading its website* constitutes a permanent waiver of your right to sue it under *any circumstances*. This means that freelancers like me who read the website would lose the right to sue the company if we got stiffed. #consenttheater #bindingarbitration #dickovers

Embarrasing, Eby. Good thing he resigned, hopefully in shame. Really screwed the pooch.
Was really hoping for more green seats though. Happy Emily Lowan is winning hers.
