To block democracy, because people are organising hard to get RID of data centres, crypto, AI invasions. Water ruining, life wrecking, electricity stealing, freedom taking, criminal supporting, democracy threatening, job taking BULLSHIT anymore and want them GONE.
No water for you.
No electricity for you.
No town sized oppressive buildings.
No data centres!
Get out!
Get Out.

The last tech bro after minting all of that crypto. The archive can be found at https://www.stanyan.me/comic-strip/lmoe for now.
Oh my. Oh my!
I just escaped Bandcamp, in part because payments could only be made via PayPal and PayPal is terrible (and requires a mobile phone number, which I don’t have).
My new home Mirlo is way better than Bandcamp on several levels, and it utilises Stripe for payments.
Now, today I’m reading this:
‘Stripe unveils the world’s first AI foundation model for payments’
‘Stripe launches new money management capabilities, making stablecoin-powered financial accounts accessible to businesses in 101 countries’
‘[…] including AI-powered dispute management […]’

Ugh! ‘AI’ and Crypto, what a nightmarish coupling from hell.
Looks like I’ll just have to to give away my music for free. (No, @Liberapay is not an alternative option since, ‘We currently support processing payments through Stripe and PayPal.’
