nsfw, need streaming advice 

Ok, pls help
I'm looking for some streaming platform that allows for more nsfw content than twitch because I want to do some mildly lewd streams for my Mastodon followers.
I looked into OwnCast but I don't think I can set that up after all. I was told about joystick.tv but they want photos of my ID if I wanna stream?? I'm confused ;~;
Does anyone have any recommendations?

SVB failure 

So Y Combinator is calling on the government to compensate for Silicon Valley Bank's failure.

But here's the thing - their petition is full of high-and-mighty talk about how employees' livelihoods should be protected.

... and then they call for the affected corporations to be made whole. Not the employees, but the owners/bosses. Suddenly it's not really about the employees anymore, now that they've outlived their usefulness as a debate prop!

I'm sure the government doesn't want to be handling payroll for individual employees, but there are a lot of reasonable solutions that could've been called for here, and this is what they went with instead.

Capitalist vultures gonna capitalist vulture I guess, socializing the losses.

where can i find some bone UNhurting juice. need me some of that

nlpol demos 

nothing new, but the contrast between more grassroots organizing on the streets for climate justice, and fascist farmers having a small turnout on a designated demonstration field with expensive stages and setups is so fucking clear

tech grumbling 

> My message explicitly points out that there are many ways to "update all packages at once", all subtly different. This suggests that the Yarn core isn't the right place where we should implement this solution, [...]

Some package manager that is

"Triest dat politie nodig was", zegt burgemeester die zelf besloot om politie met geweld in te zetten tegen een vreedzame demonstratie

Media just will not stop using the term "culture wars." Culture wars may be disputes about spaghetti or burgers for dinner. What the media misnames and often conscously trivializes as supposed "culture wars" are, in fact, the attack on human rights, authoritarianism, and the renewed enforcement of outright discrimination. There is nothing "both sides" about this, and it is not a question of cultural heritage or personal taste.
