If that’s the case, securing grants for #Vernissage could remain a challenge.
That’s why your support matters more than ever. ❤️
It’s thanks to your contributions that I can keep developing #Vernissage and making it better for everyone.
Every bit of support makes a difference. Thank you! ❤️

@teotwaki @mczachurski I believe NLnet only funds one type of project in each segment so they can fund many types of projects, they have rejected my application for Sup too, because they have funded other messenger apps already.
Maybe getting deleted off Instagram and never going back was the best idea I ever had. Maybe I was being futuristic once again.
Insane AI decision. I launched entire careers off that thing. How scary.
@atomicpoet oh this is amazing. Sorry I missed this early. Tape design is amazing.

This is the typical white supremacist behavior that most people of color are forced to deal with on this platform. An overemotional white male is more upset with being called out for codling fascist blonde girls, and proceeds to go straight to overacting and being racist toward the Black woman providing pushback. And I was being nice.
Again. I’m going to ask you to #Fediblock, and also need to report this. Immediately. Boost when you can. Thanks.

Everyone thinks we’re going to war? Oh.
Some of us have been at war from day one. So.

@ErickaSimone It's very hard not to stay 'calm' or 'positive' when I'm constantly surrounded by bullshit, and will continue to get invaded by said bullshit as time goes on.
And the audacity of some people to believe that it's MY FAULT for being so depressed and anxious. They think I should look to the 'positive' side of life (that side has been fleeting from my existence).

@ErickaSimone @derZeitreiser People like him demand 'respect' or 'civility' when they do the opposite like what happened here just now. No introspection. No reflection. Just deflect. Can't take any of y'all seriously anymore.

How Russia uses AI to meddle in midterm elections
Kremlin influence operations are using AI to stoke mistrust in Western electoral processes. Expert Yuliia Dukach breaks down how these operations have expanded with help from new technologies.
#Fediblock: Racism, genocide supporter, misogynoir, general delusion:
White males coddling nazi white females that drive a genocide are also complicit in said genocide.

@atomicpoet we just saw someone advocate for the concept of “misandry” as a trans man a few days ago over here. The upside down.

In July 2024, I reported that Coinbase appeared to be violating campaign finance law by making contributions while holding federal contracts. I filed an FEC complaint alongside Public Citizen. The FEC hasn’t acted. Since, Coinbase has given $60M more and landed another federal contract.

Coinbase Scored Another Federal Contract. Does That Make Its Campaign Contributions Illegal?
Since 2024, the FEC has failed to rule on a complaint against Coinbase, which says it’s done nothing wrong.
