They have been sanctioning sites like pixiv for years, and last year also were the reason Ken Akamatsu's (Love Hina author) manga archive site for out of print manga was shutdown, and why sites like Melonbooks (one of the largest in japan) only can accept JCB payment now.

Visa and MasterCard have a history of sanctioning anything that has anime and manga adult content, and I'm not talking about loli, just any adult content.

I thought they were moving to closed source entirely which is against the GPL license but I didn't properly read the article it seems.

JCB is a japanese alternative to the American credit card payment processors.

It didn't participate in visa and MasterCard's collusion to boycott and bankrupt manga, anime and art sites.

This is why open source should use the GPL license.

Maybe if we ask nicely.

It's among the next 3 things on the list. You can expect it in gimp 3.1.0 in 2056

I was willing to overlook:

  • The bed costs $2,000
  • It won’t function if the internet goes down
  • Basic features are behind an additional $19/mo subscription
  • The bed’s only controls are via mobile app

My man would have been willing to overlook having Jeff bezos himself sleep in his bed with him before realizing what was happening.

That sounds like a cool concept. I'll have to look into this "Lemmy" thing.

Why not just use Matrix? I thought it was the goto FOSS and decentralized Discord alternative.
