I stand corrected.
Although I think my basic point still stands:
that it probably has something to do something with the entire right-wing/facist/asshole conservative resurgence we are experience right now.

In fairness, this is probably not itch.io acting on their on volition. It might not even be the payment providers acting on their own volition.
Its probably US hegemonic prudery due to the regime change in the USA.
They payment providers might be cracking down either due to preemptive compliance or because they are actively coming under pressure from some republican dipshits.
Die Leitstelle511 ist jetzt irgendwie auch #neuhier
Wir sind der Chaos Computer Club (#ccc) in Hannover und sitzen in der Bürgerschule in der Nordstadt.
Wer mal bei uns vorbeischauen mag, kann Mittwochs ab 19:00 zum #OpenChaos kommen.
Unsere Räume sind unter dem Dach, es gibt aber einen Fahrstuhl und Rampen zum Gebäude.
Welche Antworten hat moderne Kryptografie auf die durch Quantencomputer bedrohte IT-Sicherheit? Das will das Projekt REALCRYPT herausfinden, mit dem Prof. Dr.-Ing. Tibor Jager von der Bergischen Universität Wuppertal das Auswahlkomitee des Europäischen Forschungsrats (ERC) überzeugte. Der ERC gab heute die erste Gruppe von Forschenden bekannt, die dieses Jahr eine Förderung in seinem Proof of Concept Programm erhalten.

Post-quantum encryption!
@rosenpass is presenting their work at #NGIForum25 on how they - already now - are building post-quantum encryption for the VPN @wireguardvpn
Much interesting..
FOSS scaling challenges:
@renchap: Scaling technology is easy. Scaling the other parts, like trust and safety, is hard. NGI funds the tech. Need to have funding for scaling other parts.
Ali Gonzalez: We are looking for public investment, not VC.
@ldubost: Goal is to grow product revenue alongside grant funding. One funds dev, one funds non-dev needs.
@kora: Need to ask where do we want to grow? When growth directions arent aligned with standard growth paths, funding can be hard.
