I’m seeing this in Australia.

Try looking at legally required ingredient and nutritional labels on food and you’re in for a shock, light grey on white, yellow on white, label across a square corner, it’s clearly intentional and nobody seems to care.

You’ll likely need the 1541 user manual and the command you’re looking for is BLOCK-READ. Have fun!

Floppy discs and their drives are notoriously fragile.

I’d start with making sure that the drive head is clean and not rusted. Test on a new floppy disc.

I’d be very surprised if the standard LOAD command would still work, and I’d start with making a block copy of the disc(s).

You can access individual disc blocks from within BASIC, I wrote a disc editor at the time to do just that.

Welcome back!

What is your evidence of this?

Until just now I’d never heard of Leon Black, seems he’s never heard of the Streisand effect.

I wonder who else is hidden away in the Epstein files.

Mental health issues are as real as broken bones and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Sometimes it can heal by itself and sometimes you need professional help. It’s nothing to be ashamed of and it’s part of the human condition, experienced by most people at one point in their life.

A great many lawyers have earned eye watering fortunes arguing the case on behalf of their clients and thus far “fair” does not appear to be a consideration.

Ultimately I think that your question is more about the fabric of society despite the framing in terms of copyright.

Yeah, I’ve been looking for alternatives for several years now. I’m hoping that the European digital currency efforts will translate into something that will facilitate global creator income, but it’s unclear how far away that is or what the reality might be.

What a shitshow … but not unexpected given the utter lack of enforcement this privacy aspect of our lives has.

At one time I started cataloging the absurd required permissions that essential mobile applications have, things like banking, telecom, utilities, government and many others.

The sheer volume of data harvesting behind the scenes is mind boggling.

Liberapay uses Stripe and PayPal as their payment processor.

OpenCollective appears to use PayPal and Wise as their payment processor.

Also for Australian users.

Edit: Hmm, it’s the search results for “Lake Ontario” that return “Lake America” spam, the underlying map currently shows “Lake Ontario” here in Australia.

Charge back is only available on credit cards, debit transactions are “negotiated” between account holders.

For how much data?

What are you using to get it there and back?

I’m asking because I had been using this for years and only after a catastrophic event, discovered that my “helpful” backup software had turned on versioning which AWS, also helpfully, doesn’t explicitly tell you when you attempt to delete old backup sets, showing no objects but charging you anyway.

I did recover all my data after a catastrophic event, but it was an expensive experience to put it mildly.

Stripe and PayPal are both used by Liberapay as their payment processor, both of which have a track record of holding funds and blocking accounts without any due process or right of dispute.

AFAIK ko-fi uses Stripe.

Paying for food using crypto, let alone picking the “right” one seems like another dead end.
