Stripe's international rollout seems to have slowed down to a crawl. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks they'd rather promote their Atlas service for incorporating in the states than support more countries.

Lemon Squeezy is clearly heading towards abandonware after the Stripe acquisition

Got an email from them to update my tax information, which honestly isn't that unusual of a request when a company changes hands, but any attempt to click to the payout/tax section of the app results in an internal server error

I'd migrated away from LS a while back, but was planning on keeping it ready as a backup, but that's looking less and less likely

(Regular Stripe does not accept Icelandic businesses)

“"AI is an attack from above on wages": An interview with cognitive scientist Hagen Blix”

> If we think about the AI as a wage depression tool rather than a productivity increasing tool, then I think the idea that we should get our hopes up [for the AI boom to end] because all these studies say productivity isn’t actually increasing is a bit premature.

Apropos of nothing, but maybe monopolies on software distribution are, like, bad? And a threat to the legitimate exercise of civic rights?

Anyway, make web apps and support @owa

Chapter One: A is for ANEMOI drops tonight for subscribers at the $4.51 level and up at 12:01 am PST.

Free (no paywall) 13 hours after that.

This 10-chapter serial is scary, funny, engages with real history and creepy urban legends, and also copes with witnessing the real-time horrors unfolding in America. It's centered on the experience of expats, immigrants, queer, and Indigenous characters surviving colonialist BS.

Wellington's afterlife opportunities await!

How Israeli actions caused famine in Gaza, visualized | CNN:

"The IPC forecast that by the end of September nearly a third of Gaza’s total population would face famine conditions, although it has not yet provided an update on that forecast."

A third of the population would be 700,000 humans. Though it’s hard to say for sure since so many have been killed. https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/02/middleeast/gaza-famine-causes-vis-intl

I am so flippin' tired of leaders adopting the "let's be edgy" mentality. It's juvenile.

I've said before that the mark of maturity is knowing the difference between being edgy and being sharp.

It appears that Bluesky leadership doesn't understand that. I want nothing to do with it.

Haven't seen this before. Credits of film from major Hollywood studio beg AI companies to pretty please not train on it: Eponysterically, the movie was "Caught Stealing (2025)".
