a majority of you know nothing about how porn is made and distributed and the people in power are counting on you not knowing. i’m so tired.

one of the major things they count on you not knowing is that tube sites do not produce even a decimal of the content you consume. tube sites are just video platforms. they are access to content that isn’t put behind a paywall in the first place. mainstream studios that can often do put shortened versions of their films on tube sites for advertisement. these only make up a fraction of the content that people actively consume as well - much more of it is independently created than folks realize.

with pornhub’s model program, a MASSIVE amount of the content there is uploaded consensually by independent performers themselves. we get ad revenue and, as previously stated, it makes for decent advertisement. i believe the other big tube sites have programs that are similar. and yes, we are age verified when we apply to become part of the model program. every single thing we upload has to go through approval before it goes public.

i’m saying this because every single time a porn-related post goes around someone brings up tube sites before anything else, and they often bring up dated or entirely false information. PH and all of the big tube sites used to have MASSIVE issues (that we warned people about back then - nobody listened) with non-consensually uploaded content but they’ve long since had to change their stance on this and become fairly strict. i’m not saying there’s zero content of that nature. it’s just not all that different than any platform that has video content. all of them face issues of copyright and non-consensual media. (and i’d say they enforce their rules arguably better than platforms like say, facebook.)

and that’s not even to mention how it isn’t even a small facet of the industry despite the general public grouping it altogether. you cannot accept any kind of profit on onlyfans, manyvids, apclips, etc unless you go through a process that includes identity verification. you cannot upload any content involving another person besides who you already have paperwork for. that paperwork includes age verification. and while i’m absolutely there are people that find ways around this… that’s literally everywhere lol. in no other industry does that small outlier define the whole practice.

like… ALL of the propaganda, all the proposed legislation against sex work and specifically porn paints the exact opposite picture of what i’m telling you and so many of you are eating it up. they want you to have a visceral reaction so you don’t think critically and now - watching it hurt people outside the porn industry - we’re seeing what that does in the long term.

we have warned you. we will continue to warn you. the choice to stay ignorant is the choice to condemn yourself to a discriminatory society that’ll be overall worse off in the long run. it will run you over the moment it sees you as perverse, too.

On my Nova 1200, both the Cassette I/O board and the CPU board, were having issues passing serial tests. The /DS5 signal had incorrect logic levels, so I swapped some gates there and solved that problem.

Then the big problem, which took alot of work to diagnose and fix is specific to the CPU board. Using the Nova 1200 Logic Test tape (as in a virtual paper tape), tests were performed but no clear answer was forthcoming. It was failing, but the serial output messages weren't working right to tell us what failed, or now. I single-stepped through the program until we hit a test that didn't pass: the auto-incrementing addresses.

On a Nova, addresses 00020 thru 00027 auto-increment values when accessed. Meanwhile, addresses 00030 thru 00037 auto-decrement values when accessed. These functions worked, but unfortunately they were being activated on addresses 00120 thru 00137 which is not right at all.

It took days of tests, writing our own testing routines, and lots of oscilloscope captures before it was finally found. The N8859A quad-input NAND gate that is part of the address decode logic had started ignoring the /MBO13 and /MBO14 signals, meaning it was decoding incorrectly. That part has been replaced with a 74LS20 (despite technically requiring a 7440, Fairchild 9009, or the aforementioned Signetics part, which has no datasheet) -- it's fine. So, that problem finally got solved, but it was a pain because it's only using a single 4-input NAND gate to decode a 16-bit value for a 15-bit address. DG pulled this off by cycling through one nibble of the instruction at a time, synced with the four Processor Time Groups (PTGs).

See those cyan and magenta traces? When those go low, they should trigger the blue trace at the bottom to go high. There it is.

Anyway, that took alot to figure out, and it still doesn't work completely yet, but that's like 3 to 5 problems fixed in the span of a week, so I'd say that's pretty good progress.

Iranian photographer Hossein Fatemi, offers a glimpse of an entirely different side to Iran than the image usually broadcasted by domestic and foreign media. In his photo series An Iranian Journey, many of the photographs reveal an Iran that most people never see, presenting an eye-opening look at the amazing diversity and contrasts that exist in the country.

Being the only bi cis guy amongst almost exclusively trans friends and peers is wild because in theory its like im living in a horny manga where all of a dudes friends turn into hot babes, but in reality they are hunting me like the last bison on the prairie. 5 years ago I mentioned bionicle and one of them asked when I was starting estrogen.
