This is your reminder that "parents' rights" is a property claim, from the same lineage as the claims made by enslavers. It is not a coincidence that it first rose to prominence in regressive circles in the US.
In just a couple of weeks, regressive assholes have somehow managed to reignite an 'abortion debate’, here in the Netherlands, to the point where my newspaper of choice is writing an editorial with the headline “Motions that question abortion rights are the first step towards limiting autonomy in women's rights”, after the three of them were voted on yesterday, Tuesday, March 4, 2025.
The worst one, which would have required registration of the pregnant person's 'motivation’ for wanting an abortion, did not pass, but the two others did.
This is how quickly it moves 😒
While we're talking about ripping shit out, have you lot started phasing out Gravatar yet? Mullenweg hasn't stopped being an arse, even though the bigger assholes are drawing all of the attention.

If you needed another reason why you should never point software directly at S3 buckets for updates and the like, here it is;
"Here’s a supply-chain attack just waiting to happen. A group of researchers searched for, and then registered, abandoned Amazon S3 buckets for about $400. These buckets contained software libraries that are still used. Presumably the projects don’t realize that they have been abandoned, and still ping them for patches, updates, and etc.”
Plus unsigned binaries, VM images, Javascript, VPN configurations, and so forth.
I strongly dislike the fact that we now basically have to reevaluate all domains under management, and the infrastructure that depends on the associated DNS records, in light of this new insider threat from an asshole with a sharpie.
Especially given how eager US tech companies are to comply with whatever these fuckers come up with next.
