(Covered, thank you!) Mutual aid request
EDIT: thank you to everyone who donated! I should be able to get things taken care of and weather the coming month with this. I'll let you know how things are going as May ends.
Original message follows:
Hi, I'm sorry to ask this, but things are dire here. My roommate is once again behind on rent and hasn't paid a penny, and I'm dead broke myself with next month's rent and bills approaching quickly. In addition, I'm out of my meds and my cat needs her own food and thyroid medication soon to boot.
I'm looking at an estimated total cost of $550 CAD altogether after factoring in my ODSP benefits. If my roommate would just pay me, that would be it, but I am having my doubts he is capable of doing it at this point, which puts me in the hard position of looking for a new one as well.
Paypal or etransfer info available on request. Thank you so much.

@talya good job!
GFM for a trans and disabled couple's survival and my birthday on April 24th. Please boost
Hey FediFriends,
We're a trans disabled couple struggling financially, so I made this GFM.
I've explained more in the description, but basically, eating without gluten and lactose (I'm intolerant) has become way too expensive. I really need to eat more, please we need help.
Thank you for any boost or donation
@FinalGirl the CIA and various western think tanks/media outlets are still promoting the Shah's son even today!
@artemis I love johnny chaos
@cwebber I am repeatedly saddened by the fact that the neo900 died https://neo900.org/
What these companies then sell to *their* customers is network access through the devices/PCs that have an app with this SDK installed. They are proud to tell you how you can funnel your (AI) web scraping etc through millions of rotating, residential and mobile IP addresses. Exactly the pattern we see hitting our servers.

The web is broken, IMHO
So there is a (IMHO) shady market out there that gives app developers on iOS, Android, MacOS and Windows money for including a library that sells users network bandwidth. Infatica [1] is just one example, there are many more.
I am 99% sure that these companies cause what effectively are DDoS attacks that many webmasters have to deal with since months. This business model should simply not exist. Apple, Microsoft and Google should act.

@astra_underscore happy 🎉
anti-autism stuff
@maxthefox @elilla yeah
re: anti-autism stuff
@elilla definitely the same origin to the term, just filtered through typical usian ableism towards autistic people, and intersections with other conspiracy theories beliefs that are commonly held.
anti-autism stuff
@elilla the "starseed child" thing is very much alive and well with antivaxxers and other conspiracy people who believe in established alien contact in the United States. I come across it regularly when looking for YTP video editing source material. It has extremely ableist connotations as it is a label conspiratorially minded ET-believer moms will label their autistic kids with instead of being helpful or understanding. To the extent that people on here might find mentioning it a traumatizing thing.
