I used to like computers a lot. Like, a lot a lot!

Then I moved to SF and got a first-hand look at how capital distorts benefit production and distribution towards authoritarianism.

And so much of computers is tied up in the capital cycle and authoritarianism.

It's just deeply deeply disappointing, and makes it hard to find what joy I used to have at computation and the digital world.

Soooo... PayPal is banning Asahi Linux users. Hey, can you maybe not do that please?

https://gist.github.com/asahilina/31dd6bf3cde26a51e0fc1414e1abe730

Yes, they ban Linux users with a GPU name containing the string "Apple M1". Anything else works.

Edit: To be clear they're banning the platform from access, not individual accounts. This won't get your account banned.

Edit 2: Alternate workaround: Spoof a Mac OS / Safari user agent. As you'd expect, "Apple M1" is allowed then.

🚨 Attention EU Citizens 🚨

💬 Chat Control could mandate all services to scan all private digital communications of everyone residing in the European Union, and it's currently waiting to be green-lit by the EU Parliament tomorrow.

According to Dr. Patrick Breyer a digital rights expert and former Member of the European Parliament: "Chat Control is being pushed through the back door, in a form even more intrusive than the originally rejected plan."
