Thanks to the FEC and OpenSecrets we’re able to find who’s lobbying and funding the age verification laws.

Interestingly enough it turns out the same entities are the largest funders of the UK Online Safety Act, California’s Age-Appropriate Design Code, Digital Age Assurance Act and New York’s SAFE for Kids Act. so here it is:

Oak Foundation funds:

• 5Rights Foundation (they run the Kids Code Coalition and are UK based)
• Fairplay
• Common Sense Media

Oak Foundation is funded solely by Alan M. Parker the British billionaire who co-founded Duty Free Shoppers.

Common Sense Media (one of Oak’s funded orgs) is also independently funded by:

• Bezos Family Foundation
• Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI)
• Gates Foundation
• Dell Foundation
• Craig Newmark Philanthropies
• Hewlett Foundation
• Tom Steyer / Kat Taylor

Combined, the funding flowing into this advocacy ecosystem exceeds $100M/year.

Now you know.

I recently purchased a new 2K monitor (27" Acer Nitro 180Hz on sale for 140€) - it gives me plenty of room, but the downside is that running some games on nativer resolution now causes the GPU fans to spin up what they didn't do when I was still running at 1080p, and I don't like the noise. So I started looking at utilizing gamescope to run the game internally at 1920x1080 and scale it to 2560x1440 using FSR. Seems to work rather nicely, I don't see much difference in fidelity and the GPU fans stay nice and quiet. #gaming #Linux_gaming
