Discord gives advertisers more tools to target its users Discord is "opening the platform to advertisers, regardless of their budget." https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/09/discord-gives-advertisers-more-tools-to-target-its-users/?utm_brand=arstechnica&utm_social-type=owned&utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social

RE: astraluma@tacobelllabs.net Digital Ocean killed its "we give Open Source projects a bit of free hosting" policy basically at the same time they dropped 3 million USD on Omarchy, DHH's (who is a fascist and racist) set of config files he calls a distribution. This is exactly the kind of "Power Grab" I wrote about a few weeks ago: https://tante.cc/2026/09/11/power-grab/ DHH is working towards accumulating open source funding to be able to direct it towards projects that align with his technical and ideological views. It's hard to overstate how dangerous that is for all of us.

RE: EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu You say this, yet you called for wanting a "deregulatory agenda", then said our Initiative's demands were not proportionate in favor of a voluntary code of conduct with the industry. Now you're trying to make it illegal to play old games online with the EU Kids Act and punish small devs. So much for a "deregulatory agenda". Which side are you on?

I just watched Ross' new video on the "EU Kids Act" that is threatening to destroy most of the current video games industry, make it basically impossible for indie devs to release games in the EU, make private game servers illegal, and may even affect linux and other operating systems that don't have invasive "age verification" checks Watch his video for a more in-depth explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQRcK9nYg9g #stopkillinggames #eukidsact #eupolitics #linux #videogames
