For those in Canada, the bill "An Act to restrict young persons’ online access to sexually explicit material" just passed Second Reading in the House, with ALL members of the NDP voting in favour of it 😩
This is a bill that would require Canadian's to "verify" their age (18+) with a third-party (ie upload gov ID) before accessing "sexually explicit" material.
Please contact your MPs to try and get this bill stopped.

@emaytch We find convenience in tension with control because the people with the budgets to give us convenience have incentives to take away control. I'm not convinced it's actually the case convenience and control are incompatible.
@endrift I think it's like two more layers of hack than that
Today my sister and her fiancée got some upsetting news that throws their immigration and marriage plans into disarray. There’s absolutely nothing I can do to fix it, and it feels fucking terrible. If anyone has an extra buck or two, please consider helping them out. Taylor is part of my chosen family and I very much want her to be able to live happily with her fiancée Millie in the UK. https://www.gofundme.com/f/get-taylor-and-millie-together

@mavica_again I mean yeah if you wanted to help out with documenting stuff for the current museum wiki thing you probably could! I'll message you when I've had some sleep
Sorry I thought you were asking about the plug n play db thing specifically which was a separate much deader project
I probably didn't explain my shit very well
@mavica_again tbh there's not much to help with at this point, I abandoned the idea probably 10 years ago so it'd be practically starting over & I don't really have it in me to commit to that rn. sorry
honestly think the plug n play db idea was still a good one but let's face it I'm just not the person to see it through
The Semantic MediaWiki thing tbh is also a holdover from an old idea I had to do a big comprehensive database of plug n play consoles with the games that are on them all cross referenced to each other, that idea went through multiple iterations before being flushed down the crapper but I did still end up installing that "what if wiki but also database" extension into my notes wiki even if its utility ended up being reduced to a fancy list generator in the end
