So far it seems like it went smoothly. I can work and play Warframe, so that's good.

Recommend using this tool to remove all the bloatware, telemetry and reverting a bunch of annoying changes to the everyday experience.

Big games companies when they say how "difficult" it has been to "make the decision to part with a number of talented individuals" due to "changing industry conditions" in their layoff announcements

The funniest things about these anti-DEI goblins is that they think that if a game shows ANY kind of diversity, it's because they hired a whole ass consultant, thus taking resources away from "making the game actually good", and not because the devs are just not a bunch of nazis.

Good. Germany's blatant support of crimes beyond genocide, as one of the only repeat offenders in the world, should also mean it doesn't participate in Eurovision.

This has always been a extremely tiny screeching minority demanding that their bigotry dictate that no one else's children can learn of the existence of LGBTQ people.

Now, in Montgomery County, Maryland, where the case originated, the results are in.

Only 43 families out of 160,000 students have exercised that new right.

mcc, thanks for this consise explanation of how waffles became a transphobic dog whistle in the past 2 days

So I'd like to show a demonstration of what this "waffles" thing is. Here's a conversation between *this site's* CEO, some random guy, and the cofounder of "Tangled", a GitHub clone built on top of Bluesky's protocol.

Please take a moment to really think, about the shape of this thoughtlessness.

Jay.bsky.team:

Harassing the mods into banning someone has never worked. And harassing people in general has never changed their mind.

Then you should probably stop trolling your user base.

all uses of chat gpt contribute to the poisoning of environments, people, feeding an amalgam machine that steals art and ruins the clean water we have.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Anas. Anas had just enrolled in college in Khan Younis when the war started and his brother Ahmad who is 14 excelled in math and wanted to be a doctor. They’ve been deprived of education for 2 years and desperately want to continue it.
