Pateron: Apple’s requirements are about to hit creators and fans on Patreon. Here’s what you need to know.

tl;dr: New Pateron subscriptions will be subject to a 30% fee increase starting in November. Windows and Linux pricing is unaffected.

So if you have an iPhone and a Windows PC, sign up to sponsor creators on the PC, and don't give Apple the additional money.

(Fair disclosure: I own stock in Microsoft, so I'm biased here.)

I guess it's a bad night for the internet -- the list of major sites that are down in the sidebar on downforeveryoneorjustme is ten or twelve items long. Not here, obviously and QQ is too minor to be included even though that's what I was checking, but Tiktok and Twitter and several MMOs big enough for me to recognize the names despite generally having negative fucks to give about MMOs.

CBC: New human rights commissioner resigns before starting role

I'm not going to atttempt a tl;dr on the article -- too many groups are telling only parts of the story, and nobody is telling the same parts of the story. It's a "he said, he said" situatiobn.

But what is clear is that the background check wasn't done by the groups that usually do background checks at this level of government.

Here, with photos.

So... how hard do you think it will be to get the Maga trolls to look stupid(er) by getting them to complain that the cast isn't 100% lily-white "like they ought to be"? <grin>

Another time that my post has managed to break the forum's formatting.  Some of my sig above all of the other posts, and posts at the end in half-width.  I'm pretty sure this post is the problem:

Do you want to report this upstream?  It looks like a problem with the table tags.

But if you're reading that, you can safely assume they're back. I noticed within minutes simply by chance, filed a ticket with my host, and the boards came back in about 90 minutes.

Sometime between mid-day-ish EDT and maybe 10pm, opening any YT video freezes that page and starts writing a runaway browser cache file that I have to kill with System Monitor even after quitting Firefox. Anyone else having this problem? I did already update 'fox but it's still doing the same thing.

Edit to add: Note that that's a runaway cache file despite also keeping 'fox from sending or receiving any network data, at least according to System Monitor's IO graph.

It's the Ubuntu version specifically, since I am still running off a liveUSB, having failed to fix my previous system install but still not quite willing to nuke it and start from scratch, and still not having gotten around to clearing off the actual case and opening it up to replace the secondary SSD for experimental "taste testing" installs that failed while trying to find one that would work with the goddamn GeForce 3060 whose driver update started that whole problem to begin with.

I'm pretty sure this was something I read as an actual anime or manga summary, but ehhh...

MC is a gamer girl who uses male characters and names to avoid getting hassled online, but has recently developed a lot of feelings for a guy she teams up with a lot, and and arranged to meet IRL with the plan of confessing as long as he's not some grimy troglodyte. Instead it turns out her net-friend is also a girl who does the same thing online.

Oh noes, wat do, yuri shipteasing, etc. I don't know if they actually get together or just remain friends; honestly I have no idea what happens beyond that at all, as apparently whatever led me to the summary it didn't grab me enough to look further let alone follow the actual media at the time.

Any ideas?

Effect: general buff and hastening of Laundry Day chores to complete them within the play time of the song, also repairing damage and restoring any partial pairs or sets with lost members. Everything comes out of Doug's laundry basket warm and just at that perfect point of broken in without actually getting worn and threadbare. He must have appropriate facilities and supplies (at the minimum, a bit of soap while beside a "clean enough" water source, and some kind of line or object to hang things up to dry on) but as far as can be told after finishing they have not actually been used, or consumables (detergent, bleach, etc.) depleted. The laundry area (within Doug's AoE at least) will even be a bit tidied up of any messes or minor issues of the sort that can be addressed with normal cleaning and hand tools while waiting for those parts of the process that don't need active effort with the available facilities.

It's not an earth shaking combat ability, but very handy when he arrives in a less developed world, and there are, as ever, possible situations where it becomes the exact tool he needs in a critical moment.

... actually, has Doug ever gotten the chance to play Fairy Godmother, like the literal bippity-boppity-boo "save the day with household magic" kind of deal? Seems like the kind of thing he'd be deeply amused by.
