Oh good, I was never able to handle five guys all at once.. four guys will be much easier on my stomach.

Wait, Tasha's family or Denise's family?

Thanks for the response, good points all around. The fingerprinting is the most convincing argument to me but I think the accessibility issue you bring up is more important.

I thought graceful degradation in terms of web design was mostly just to promote using the latest current browser features but to allow it to fall back to the feature set of, say, 1 or 2 previous browser versions. Not to support a user completely turning off a feature that has been around for literal decades? I think what you're promoting is the "opposite" side, progressive enhancement, where the website should mostly work through the most basic, initial features and then have advanced features added later for supported browsers.

They were talking about anime (most likely). It was a joke.

Or even if they would just let us bond the TV speakers together to use as a center channel and augment that with a cheap 2.0/2.1 soundbar I bet it would be an improvement in dialogue clarity, even if the imaging would be a bit of a disaster.

Sounds like a rough spot, I'm glad things worked out for you.

Oh I see, I was panicking a bit because I thought you were stating that it was a part of the EO and I couldn't find any references to support it. I don't really have a backup address since I live with my parents at the moment (dealing with said MH diagnosis). Thank you for taking the time to respond OP.

The article mischaracterized the petition. If you read the change.org petition it's about protesting Visa, Mastercard, and moral advocacy groups. The petition even goes as far as to point out the hypocrisy of the decision.

These same payment processors allowed platforms like OnlyFans to operate with minimal oversight, despite multiple credible reports and lawsuits alleging the presence of real sexual abuse content involving real-life minors. That is a criminal failure of responsibility. Yet, when it comes to entirely fictional depictions, these same companies act swiftly — shutting down creators, restricting access, and acting as global censors.

I wish I had a technical solution but I really don't. As much as I can't stand cryptocurrency in the way that it's being implemented, this is the kind of problem blockchain technology could potentially eliminate. I think the bigger problem is social - people trust credit card companies because of things like charge backs and fraud protection. Shopping in a store is one thing but when you're buying from a faceless digital store front people seem to want a third-party to secure things and protect their money.
