So what makes a good phone/tech is battery placement? I assure you, you can cause the same to happen to anything else. It's pretty common for batteries to almost be the length of the phone. I doubt there's a phone on the market theses days that doesn't do this.

Long story short, an actual Nazi doxxing ring. Enough people reported them that they went away for like 12 hours and then Elon personally brought them back. The site is dead. If you’re still on there, go lock your account right now

Yes, it's a deliberate look to appear oafish and silly to disarm people of the power he holds and seem more approachable.

Labour is proof it's not fucked because of Tories, it's fucked because our leaders either don't understand or don't care about the effects of their actions. They're trying to resolve a lack of government funds and won't turn to the bloated 1% everything else is distraction politics.

Data privacy laws for under 13s due to their lack of age verification. Is was ICO data protections, but they won't have also needed to adhere to OSA by then and just didn't want to

Here's the children's code strategy that the article you linked mentions ico.org.uk/for-organisa...

While it's not related to OSA it's also about under 13s.

"Our initial priority was to act where platforms did not appear to use any age assurance at account set-up stage"

Which is stricter now.

Yes, but also related to under 13s. They may have already been in an investigation since March, but if it wasn't that it would still be osa too.

Ah, so it's a move to free up more high value housing to make money for the landlord class as parents now downsize to afford to support their kids?

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough', just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERY THING, stop calling it 'the future'. AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

I feel like we should take a step back and remind ourselves how wild it is for a government to say "we're being prevented from doing what we want because it violates the human rights of this group, we're going to abolish those, vote for us" as if there's a bigger red flag to wave.

It's weird, because it's all very well to blame something else for why you have to/can't do something, but it's weird to go hunting down all excuses as to why you can't do things. Are they going to do these one by one until the only thing remaining is taxing the rich?

Not really, there's a reason we talk about net-Zero. That said we're fast approaching requiring net-negative

akashicweaver.bsky.social @akashicweaver.bsky.social · 14d

It's the same for a lot of them, they're just smart enough to not announce it.

akashicweaver.bsky.social @akashicweaver.bsky.social · 14d

The problem is that there's still this persistent and dangerous notion that you can't be anti-israel without being anti-semetic.

And we heard the other day it being persisted by Israeli authorities calling for the PM to prosecute against anti-israel speech at the same time as denouncing the attack

akashicweaver.bsky.social @akashicweaver.bsky.social · 14d

In part, but it wouldn't have mattered without consecutive governments deliberately not solving existential problems. Right wing media always has and always will exist, but people ignore it easier in better times because the scaremongering doesn't land when things aren't dangerous and life is good.

Farage and most everything politics recently is several layers of abstraction away from the fundamental issues. Governments worldwide need more money to sustain programs to support the public. That money has continuously shifted into the pockets of the 1%. Everything else is flag waving distraction

akashicweaver.bsky.social @akashicweaver.bsky.social · 15d

It's not even the British media, it's the steady erosion of our empathy, for others, our dignity in discussion and our fundamental humanity when handling others.

We need to get back to basics. Ultimately when it comes down to it we all agree on the problems, but not the solutions.

Honestly I feel cowards would be worse. Good player characters are pro-active not reactive. Definitely agree on the journey to becoming a hero being rewarding. I've definitely done a few characters that just see hero-ing as something other people do, but I feel that's different from redemption.

akashicweaver.bsky.social @akashicweaver.bsky.social · 15d

I don't think you need to hurl slurs, but there's something there for me that does wonder what kind of environment creates such a person and what kind of events and environment pick away at those kinds of ideas.

In the world we live in right now having that kind of understanding feels very relevant

That much positivity is hard when labour has taken some big steps towards dystopia.

As someone who typically ends up playing good idealist characters this has made me consider making a character that is on a journey of becoming a better person.

The comments immediately made me feel like a bad person for ever having considered it.
