News: Feb 26, 2025 Show

Feb 26th:A new bill in Arizona is making its way through the Senate that would force sites like e621 to implement mandatory age verification for all users—or face potential lawsuits. This system would require third-party vendors to verify every user’s age through a government database. Not only is this a massive violation of privacy, but it also introduces serious risks, including identity theft through phishing schemes and other malicious methods. Worse still, we would have no control over ensuring that user data is permanently deleted after verification.

Since e621 operates out of Arizona, this law would almost certainly impact us if it passes. If you want to help ensure that we can continue serving you without being forced to collect personal information, we urge you to contact Arizona’s senators and ask them to vote NO on this bill.

Please help spread the word about this issue and encourage others to take action.

Could someone explain why there's so much Sally Arcorn fanart today?

I've noticed that the original "Coupon Alice" is drawn by a pretty known artist and her shop Karel Čapek even did official collab with Pokémon.

So if a law in Arizona (this time, and previously also in Arizona, and once in North Carolina preventing access for NC users) is once again threatening e621’s existence, have the site’s owners considered transferring the website and it’s ownership overseas? Maybe to somewhere in Europe with fast datacenter networking/CDN so it’ll still load fast in the US?

I know that’s not a simple undertaking by any means, but I worry the alternative is being drowned in lawsuits

I just want to say, this isn't something that's really guaranteed to not also happen in a country in Europe or, honestly, any other location the site might move.

in any case, it's not something that should be done preemptively, because it's not a cheap and easy process, and no one wants to go through that only to realize that there was no reason to.

downloading any other browser on the app store won't fix that since they're all also safari under the hood

I think that in the EU you might be able to get browsers that aren't WebKit-based. but even then, they might not be fully featured because Apple hates its users.

It’s been 2 months now and the issues still persist. Some times the audio is stuttery, sometimes when I skip forward too fast it gives me an Error. Wtf is wrong with my phone? Is it something with this site?

from my (admittedly years out of date) experience: Safari just fucking hates webm, and downloading any other browser on the app store won't fix that since they're all also safari under the hood

i haven't tested it myself: but your best bet you probably to download an offline media player app like VLC and just watch any webm content from there

God fucking dammit. Ever since I updated my IOS my phone just seems to struggle with webms. It either glitches out or the audio is fucked.

@W0LFB3AT5: I usually use h&r block. The website makes it super easy to file your own taxes. That being said I had to pay the IRS 2 dollars this year.

I just used FreeTaxUSA on mine. Surprising how easy it is. I tend to overthink things considering I’m a pessimist…

If you live in one of the eligible states you can use IRS direct file, really easy but not available everywhere. Or you can use one of the IRS free file partners, pretty easy just look at the options the IRS gives you (Free Tax USA and OLT seem to make it the easiest.)

crashing is one of the things I remember about that game the most. that and my character getting soft locked in a waist-high hole and having to load from a save that was like an hour back because I didn't know that tcl existed.

@Polyphonic: My first playthrough of the game was on PS3 and yeah, that memory issue is a big headache. >.< Even though I play it on PC now I still have the PS3 version in my collection. ^_^
