Lots of people in powerful positions, including the heads of every major payment processor (IIRC), are very deep in the mindset of "porn is evil and must be destroyed" but yes it's absolutely just an easy scapegoat like how they scream about drag queens and CRT while banning and burning every book that doesn't push the goal of painting the US having no negative history except for those people getting in the way of making the perfect American Evangelical Theocracy they want it to be.

To be fair, I think the reluctance of credit card processers to deal with sex-work-related fields is due to the high proportion of chargebacks and the amount of fraud involved. I don't believe there's any moral judgement involved, although I could be wrong.

Porn as a concept is fine. Porn as an industry can be pretty dodgy at its worst.

They get caught by a significant other or patent who they knew would object, panic and claim it was ID theft. Then they're committed and have to follow through.

Also a lot of pay stuff these days is live webcam stuff with the added parasocial element so there's no way to pirate it.

As a short fiction author, this poo poo is going to make it harder to get published. Getting noticed in the slush pile is difficult enough as it is.

I mean, have you seen the fiction GPT produces? It's hot garbage that violates just about every rule of good writing. And this might not be too surprising, since IIRC it's just trained in whatever could be scraped from the open internet. Nearly all the fiction good enough to be published is behind paywalls, so it's basically been learning how to write lovely fanfiction. Which is to say, I have doubts that much if any of the stuff it produces is actually getting published, and with any luck this is just a passing phase like those "Buried alive Elsa pregnant" kids YouTube videos.

Sucks for you in the short term though.

My mums husband called me frantically one day telling me he got CC scammed from some clickbaity thumbnail porn. He later confided in me that it was easier to deal with that combo of shame than the reality: He was trying to find a cheaper stream for the world cup soccer grand final.

Speaking of embarrasing tech claims, Finland's economic minister's Whatsapp account sent a meme pic mocking the Finnish prime minister for snogging with a pop singer last summer at a party. When this came out he claimed that his work phone was 'hacked', but this didn't hold water at all. Now he denies hacking but says that someone must have used his account from another linked device. Everyone is just rolling their eyes and hoping that he'd just raise his hand and say that he made an embarrasing error and stopped wasting everyone's time with these claims.

Minister Lintilä admits WhatsApp account wasn't hacked, still denies sending Sanna Marin meme

Economic affairs minister Mika Lintilä (Cen) told reporters on Thursday that his WhatsApp account had not been hacked after all, a week after announcing in a press conference that it had been hacked.

He then claimed that the hacking-that-wasn't took place around the exact moment when a meme mocking Prime Minister Sanna Marin (SDP) was sent from his account to a group chat composed of Centre Party MPs and aides.

"There was no evidence found," said Lintilä. "There was no evidence of anything criminal that might have happened. That would have been an extremely serious thing. Using the word 'hacked' was maybe too strong an over-reaction to the situation. I knew that I had not sent the message in question, but it had been sent from my phone."

The message was sent last Thursday and had a picture of Marin and her colleague Matias Mäkynen (SDP). It poked fun at Marin's difficulties last summer after a video emerged of her dancing with a pop star in a nightclub, and a tabloid story about Mäkynen spending the night with a woman who was not his wife.

Lintilä said that the investigation had shown that simultaneous use of Lintilä's account by someone else could not be ruled out.

"We will discuss this with Meta and the police, because then we can get the chat log data," said Lintilä. He has not yet made a criminal report to the police, but will do so if it makes it easier to access the logs.

The lame meme ('Joy, light and Olavi' and 'adultery expenses should be reimbursed' (Olavi Uusivirta was the singer, the male MP in pic got into a cheating scandal recently)

It didn't help that it took the industry a number of years before they adopted good password practices. Many didn't allow you to use symbols or capital letters. Some websites had a character limit of like 8.

My work used to have an 8-character requirement. Exactly eight. That was the maximum for HP Unix and the minimum for Active Directory. For the record, we were right to retire HP UX, but I hate AD so very, very much.

My pet peeve is not allowing pasting into the password/confirm password field. I use a password generator to make and store long complex passwords and it is beyond annoying to have to type out a 20-30 character complex password.

Listen buddy, we all got problems!
Keepass is the best on a pure security stand point. If you want convenience as well then Bitwarden is probably the best.
They just rolled out Argon2 support too, which I believe makes them the only pwm to support it (besides keepass of course)

1password works really well, but I would probably use Bitwarden if I didn't get 1pass family as a work benefit.

I feel like this is a really good way to get people to start writing down passwords or make really insecure passwords that they just change a number of every 90 days.

Or at least there was a point where my work wanted one of each (1 letter 1 number 1 special character) - I don't think there was anything like an 8 character limit, but rotation happened frequently enough that it was maddening coming up with something you could remember and deal with typing multiple times a day.

Yea this is exactly what I do even though I know full well it's insecure. I would happily use 1pass or any other solution that could log me in to the OS login prompt if that was an option.
