We need to start working on the premise that large corporations are different beasts than small businesses. I mean as a people of the world as a whole. There is a tipping point somewhere and that is definitely up for conversation but we nee

"just speech" is just speech too, right? I seem to be missing the point here. Are you claiming that this term can not be applied categorically in a realistic fashion? I think that's wrong.

I'm actually having difficulties trying to find where the UK was brought into it if not by the commenter in question. If we are pointing out lapse of context, that is.

The AI is working perfectly for the citizen surveillance use case though. It will provide "reasonable" suspicion on anyone at any time. We have been mired in a surveillance state for a long time now. They now will have the process

Ironic considering it seems to be a change in law that spurred this action in the first place. If it's worth saving from a societal standpoint, maybe a third option of funding and maintaining a public archive could be taken. Wild idea,

Your takeaway presumes that all LLM interactions are monolithic, which is the opposite of what was being claimed if you take the other poster's comments about tool use into consideration. I have no real investment in this conversation

To be fair... you didn't make the statement that "enforcing law will lower crime". You made the statement that "Many states are completely able to stop shoplifters", which is hyperbole at best and a bad faith argume

I have no love for mastercard, I just have a distaste for misinformation. I want to see the blame go where it is deserved, the processors. You are clearly the one emotional about this.

They are processors and yes some their own gateway. Billing is broadly part of merchant services and is largely done by the sales organization that sold the processing. Of course there are companies that encompass all these and more like th

I agree with you. I think you read that wrong. The processor lied about Mastercard's involvement. It's par for the course in my experience that processors always try to offload blame on someone else. Then Mastercard saying explici

"When the shit hits the fan it doesn't distribute equally". The payment processing system is so complex and opaque even people in the industry rarely understand anything outside their little corner of it. People are going to

The issue isn't at Visa/MC, but the processor. That is why Itch is looking at other processors. Also, that 3% doesn't go to just Visa/MC and the other card brands. It goes to the payment gateway, the payment processor, a

Or... the payment processor lied. I guess we'll find out really quick if itch finds another processor.

Their processor, Chase Paymentech, doesn't accept businesses in adult industry. I doubt they will allow their infrastructure to handle crypto payments for it either. It doesn't matter how decentralized it is when you have a centra

Epoch, CCBill, TickleCharge, many others... just search for "card processors that work with adult industry".

by jfyi 1y ago
Because the issue isn't with Visa/MC but with the processors. They are looking at alternative processors that work with adult material.

I'm not usually one to go full market capitalist, but there is definitely a market solution to this one. I'm glad they are exploring the options.

Ok, I'll assume good faith and answer that. I didn't mention those because you weren't questioning them. I feel that is kind of obvious. >(not PayPal or Paysafe)... As to paypal's policy... https://www.pay

Mastercard doesn't care. Payment processors that handle adult material exist but they charge a premium rate. These companies could switch to CCBill as quick as they could code it up. Exactly the same as what OnlyFans did. They would ha

Both Valve and Itch use Paysafe and Paypall for processing. I'm glad someone is paying attention. I feel I've been screaming at a wall for a week now. All this rage and it's all directed at the wrong corporations.

What is more likely is the processors made the decision themselves and cited Mastercard's rule without interacting with Mastercard. If Mastercard cared about this stuff then processors like CCBill wouldn't exist. The absurd amount

It looks like they both use paysafe and paypal for processing.

It's a good indication that it came from their processors and not from Visa.

Same here, recursive descent is what I have run into in the real world. I'm just happy when parsing isn't being done with some absurdly long regex with no documentation.

It was available with ctrl+shift+I for forever in their desktop client. It only changed in the last 2 years or so. Pretty sure it's just a flag somewhere to re-enable.

You would need to change ownership of the file to root also.

Because authorize.net is a payment gateway, not a processor. You'd still need a processor and the one your bank works with will have similar requirements. Honestly, those rates are better than I expected. I think OnlyFans has a 20% rat
