Came to the comments to say the same thing. Cool collection, but invest a few bucks on some cable ties my dude.
That's not just a hot take, that's straight up nuclear.
I just purchased a new phone and I'm kicking myself now. I've wanted to support Fairphone for a while, but I just can't justify another phone purchase.
I don't think this is the forum to have this conversation, and anything I say will just prompt you to personally attack me. I think you should open your mind to other points of view and think critically.
Have a good day, and be well.
Jesus, dude. Chill a bit. They were kids who were sold a bill of goods. Some of them legitimately believed they were doing something good and noble when they enlisted, and the people in power abused that ideology. It's not the veteran's fault. Hold people in power responsible, not the people who trusted them.
Edit: there's no sense in arguing with you on this. I just saw your other comments, seems like you've got zero empathy. Wish you the best, champ. Hope you find some compassion in your life.

Already seeing high latency for our instance. Guessing everyone realized the impending doom and created accounts on one of the easier instances to join. Welcome, fellow lemmings!
Everyone on the internet is a dog unless proven otherwise.
I mean...woof.
I'm not a lawyer either, but a quick search shows that state law is the thing this could be breaking. It's not criminally punishable to possess it, but acquiring or distributing it via the internet is potentially illegal. Here's a page from a Massachusetts lawyer discussing the legality. https://anthonyricciolaw.com/is-lolicon-legal-in-the-us/#:~:text=Under%20federal%20law%2C%20a%20simple,state%20laws%20regarding%20child%20pornography.
Edit: apparently that's only part of the requirements for illegality. The other part is sexuality or not having "value" which is subjective. Either way, it's a dice roll on criminal acts.
As I've pointed out in a few spots on this post: regardless of your moral stance, loli is considered the same as child porn by many government agencies. You may not be "harming" anyone, but you're harming the people that host and view that content in a criminal sense.
Loli stuff is illegal though, at least in the United States. Viewing even accidentally can be considered a crime. The OP has a valid point.
Y'know, if they had walked everything back - or even just reduced API costs - right away, no one would have left. Now their top content creators have left, and nothing they do will repair the damage.
