IMO support indie creators when you can. Aside from that, ahoy!

I’m looking on behalf of my partner so I’m not 100% sure the podcasts they want are American but they are English for sure.

This is a direct quote from the article

Facebook is a privately owned company that is responsible for their own actions.

“We use technology or a review team to identify content that should be covered,” a notice obscuring the post reads. “This post doesn’t go against our Community Standards, but may contain images that some people might find upsetting.”

Yeah, I bet.

“What the f**k, Instagram?” a Bluesky user wrote.

k.

There are more empty homes than homeless in the US. I’ve seen literal tons of food and clothing go right to the dump to protect profit margins.

Do you have any sources to back up the claim that we need to make more shit?

When servers say “just eat at home if you don’t want to tip 20%”, do they realize this is the exact same energy as “just get a real job if you can’t afford your bills”?

Siiiiick

This is a neat idea and it will totally work, but they need to be the EXACT same files down to the checksums and file names. This could be harder to pull off than it sounds but it’s absolutely possible.

Probably uses the localStorage API.

Something like this is needed so badly for Linux based content creators.

This app also didn’t work for me. Just recorded silence as well. No root on a stock ROM.

Looks pretty neat. I’d like to see this in distro repos.

Have they said that queer stuff is inherently NSFW? I haven’t seen that said anywhere and don’t think it’s the case.

I just checked and the “LGBT” and “LGBTQIA” flags are 100% functional right now.

Obviously if they did say that queer stuff is inherently NSFW that would be a big problem.

Itch.io just banned lgbt content at the reauest of payment providers

Do you have a source on this? Everything I have read from them so far about the news today makes this sound like a temporary problem that was out of their control.

This is a time critical moment for itch.io. The situation developed rapidly, and we had to act urgently to protect the platform’s core payment infrastructure. Unfortunately, this meant it was not realistic to provide creators with advance notice before making this change. We know this is not ideal, and we apologize for the abruptness of this change.

We are currently conducting a comprehensive audit of content to ensure we can meet the requirements of our payment processors. Pages will remain deindexed as we complete our review. Once this review is complete, we will introduce new compliance measures. For NSFW pages, this will include a new step where creators must confirm that their content is allowable under the policies of the respective payment processors linked to their account.

I’m pretty confident they will get this sorted out. It doesn’t seem like they have any intention of banning nsfw content.

Edit: I’m responding here about NSFW content because I was confused. I don’t think Itch actually ever banned queer/LGBTQ content in any way. The recent drama has been over NSFW content specifically so I assumed OP was specifically taking about NSFW queer content.
