We need GNU taler everywhere. Fuck these USAian payment processors.

They are USAian. Owners are most likely conservative and Christian --> imposing their values on others through money. It’s the rich people’s way.

I just hope he learned from the first time and gets some people involved that can make a loud splash about this. If they just repeat what they did, it’ll die in the crib.

I’m curious about that. Democracy Internation has a course on how to fundraise for an ECI

Together with experts, we will discuss your most pressing questions around fundraising for a European citizens’ initiative:

What are the sources of funding for an ECI? How to appraoch large-donors and how to frame your campaign? How, and in what circumstances, do you have to report funding received for an initiative?

TIL voting is lobbying

No of course not. Only what you approve as activism is activism 👌 And using official channels is certainly not activism.

Stop Killing Games should be asking for donations to get the people involved to have meetings with representatives in the EU commission. The big, shitty gaming companies that are firing devs en masse and just out to make money have their lobbyists. If the SKG movement doesn’t organise, that’s all we’ll get: a communiqué to shut the hell up.

Gib sauce!

I don’t get why loops requires registration. It feels like an instagram pattern and I really dislike it.

I look forward to the football world cup. That’s going to be amazing. Right after a match, ICE is going to walk onto the pitch and arrest non-white football player - if they even get into the country.

Keep signing it! Don’t stop!

Maybe we’re all just waiting for reddit to pull another… reddit.

Oh that’s good. I like that.

And fuck you too btw PirateSoftware :)

The problem with extremists is that they cannot see purity in anybody else but themselves.

But you fuck one sheep…

Even sadder is that there are no popular EU streamers throwing their weight behind the initiative. What are they waiting for? Does PewDiePie still stream games?

Would be better if citizens actually cared and didn’t dream of becoming the USA 🤷‍♂

Games are a luxury that happen to be the biggest market of the entertainment industry with more revenue than music and movies combined.

This isn’t “just a petition”. It’s a formal path to get a response from the EU commission. If it reaches the thresholds, the EU commission is forced by law to consider it. It isn’t some random petition that can be filed away and never heard of again.
