humans aren’t supposed to be slaves to capitalism and spend their whole lives working a job only to barely make ends meet. It’s not natural, and it’s why a lot of us are so unhappy. Somewhere along the line, we lost the plot.
They said they were taking away the freedom of movement of foreigners to the UK but actually they took away YOUR freedom of movement to 27 countries.
Now they are saying they want to remove the human rights of terrorists but actually they want to take away YOUR human rights.
Homework should be abolished bc it's classist & ableist. Disabled kids, kids who have to work, kids who are caretakers, kids with unstable housing, kids in turbulent and/or abusive households, kids who lack resources to help with hw, are all suffering from hw requirements
Growing up gay in the 90s you were made to feel like a criminal. The media frequently and deliberately conflated the worst of us to tell the world all of us were the same. To see the wizard lady doing it all again to trans people brings back just how vile a tactic it was.
Council Tax shouldn’t exist, Margaret Thatcher created it, and ever since it has been used as an unfair tax on the poorest, with rates hardly climbing with House Size and the richest areas having the lowest Council Tax rates.
It needs to be scrapped.
Still bizarre to me that this was one of Nintendo’s best selling games of all time and they just completely dumped it after a few updates that gave it half of the features/personality of the 3DS game preceding it
I totally agree with Rishi Sunak that we need to be concerned about extremists. Especially when an unelected billionaire can become Prime Minister and hire a Cabinet full of far-right conspiracy theorists.
I'm going to be banned by one of these.
A huge trend in gaminng is to enable kernel-level-anticheats, which allow games to read your system and look for cheating programs on your system. The catch is they don't necessarily have to be active or even for that game. They can just be on your system and get you banned.
On my computer I have several versions of CheatEngine. Why? In games like GTA the mouse sensitivity is not fast enough to allow me to play with my disability. So, I use that program to increase the mouse sensitivity. It affects no one else but it allows me to play a game I would be otherwise locked out of.
In another instance, I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Every time I play Escape from Tarkov the anticheat blocks its hooks and warns me I'm using an illegal program. The only thing Dragon NaturallySpeaking does is allow me to type just like it's doing now to allow me to type this post to you.
This isn't a lazy dev problem, it's a lack of hiring security. Using heuristics security professionals can observe metadata to look at your overall statistics and progress as a player. If you are really bad and using one of these programs you are suddenly very good, it's easy to see you are cheating. If a security expert was to look at my gameplay they would see I'm using a cheat program and I am still absolute garbage at aiming and my stats are horrible. But thanks to that program I am able to play the game at all, which means I can have fun being not-gud.
I don't have the magic bullet solution to this problem. Developpers have to be able to protect games from cheaters. But we have to be careful not to get innocent people caught up. All I can say is we must find ways of differentiating people who are cheating to win and disabled people who are using programs that could be used for cheating as a way to access the game and play the game badly.

apparently this was sold as a live Willy Wonka Experience but they used all AI images on the website to sell tickets and then people showed up and saw this and it got so bad people called the cops lmao
