Israeli army shells reach us. They saved the lives of me and my wife, by making a financial donation through my PayPal wallet.

this is a vetted fundraiser as seen on @/el-shab-hussein's list. i am also in contact with Alaa via whatsapp and can attest this is legitimate.

as of today (05/09/24) this fundraiser has only reached $ 2.836 out of their $ 15.000 goal.

please consider donating, even a small amount genuinely helps to save this couple from impending doom. they are only two people and this goal is comparatively easier to reach. if you feel hopeless amidst the destruction and genocide in Gaza and don't know how to help, with a small donation you can make a real impact for this family.

let's help get them to safety together!

Hey all, you know how internet searches suck now? When the results are awful, full-of-AI, death-of-the-internet levels of bad?

Start appending date constraints to your searches - "before:2023".

My results have gone from 90% AI bullshit to ~60% usable - which frankly at this point is a huge improvement.

AO3 IS IN TROUBLE IF CALIFORNIAN AGE VERIFICATION LAW PASSES

An upcoming Age verification bill centered in California will be voted on Monday-- And as always,instead of actually protecting kids, it will lead to more online censorship and privacy risks, as it will force websites hosting to verify their users age by sending their ID, your browser history would be linked to it. if you live California, call your reps and tell them to oppose the bill AB3080 as it highly unconstitutional.

They also deem LGBT content harmful to minors, as well as mentions of weapons and tobacco, putting them on the same level as NSFW content.

Since AO3 headquarters reside in California, much like Reddit, Twitter,Discord and Youtube (and others) who knows how bad the effects would be. Instead of just effecting Californians (even then its concerning.) the effects would be US or even worldwide. VPNs wont help.

Please take actions here (a script is included to help you) https://www.defendonlineprivacy.com/ca/action.php

You can also send faxes using this https://faxzero.com/

If you don't live in California, please talk about this,tag your friends and urge others to take actions, make posts and tweets using the hashtags AB3080 and NoOnAB3080
