  • UK Terrorism ban on Palestine Action ruled unlawful by High Court

    Jump

  • I don't recognise the state law as a righteous law anyway - there are more important laws than the opinionated statements of a few hundred aging or dead men. State law might govern the low-income population but it does not govern or define fact or reality, as reality is irrefutable and empirical.

    By labeling Palestine Action as a terrorist group, without delving into the broadness of their own definition, the government imply to the public that the group is cruel or manipulates using terror, which is false as PA do not participate in cruelty.

  • Families in New York City demonstrated against a proposal to allow cars in a local park. A politician showed up in a car to mock them

  • In Pulp Fiction Vincent made a big deal about a $5 milkshake, which is less than a crappy one from a fast food joint costs today.

  • That's cost of living, a separate measurement, and is also a significant factor.

  • Blades of Fire is jumping from Epic to Steam with big upgrades and Steam Deck support

  • If only it could jump to GOG instead

  • Waymo begins deploying next-gen Ojai robotaxis to extend its U.S. lead. The company is preparing to expand in several new cities in 2026.

  • Remember the problem is the overpopulation of cars, not what is driving them. Switching a mediocre human driver for a top tier program driver will not result in an increase in injuries.

  • Klarna for rent

    Jump

  • bro. Fucking -- Think about it. Klarna pay in 3 installments divide the cost by 3 and take payments monthly. Month A, you pay one third. Month B you pay one third of months A and B. By month C onwards you're consistently paying three thirds or 100% of the rent. You'd only defer yourself the value of one month's rent over the span of two months. Pointless.

  • Discord to Require ID or Face Scan Next Month for Full Access

    Jump

  • "Content filtering" is just corporate jargon for subjective censorship, dynamically and discriminately restricting access to knowledge. I abhor all censorship.

  • I fucking missed my appointment for depression 2 hours ago because I was tired and I slept through it and now I feel even more depressed... :(

    Jump

  • When I finally decided to seek a diagnosis I would frequently be waiting so long to be seen that the feeling passed and I'd cancel the appointment because I 'no longer needed it' -- and then I was worried that when I do go I'd be on a high again and not show any symptoms of my lows, so not be diagnosed. This wasn't the reality thankfully.

    Given the subject I'm sure they'll be forgiving and let you reschedule!

  • Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face

  • And said data will never be used for fake CSAM or a library for the powerful to handpick their next victims

  • YSK You can buy a @linux.com domain for email flex

    Jump

  • Gmail is one of the most, if not the most, annoying recipients to avoid the spam category. My ISP lists their non-business IPs on Spamhaus PBL because they've monetised having a static IP and decided email servers aren't for residents. (But I've snoozed -- they haven't been the highest rated ISP for years and the new highest, Zen, is much better than EE)

  • YSK You can buy a @linux.com domain for email flex

    Jump

  • I do this with @duck.com except it's free, strips trackers where possible, and supports generating any number of alias addresses that can be disabled. For those who don't want to spend $250 but still want forwarding security

  • Flock CEO calls Deflock a “terrorist organization”

    Jump

  • Fatal police shootings in the UK are getting more common. In 2019 one man was "lawfully murdered" because an officer said the victim's mobile phone looked like a handgun. In 2024 it was announced the officer would not be prosecuted. Not one police officer has been found guilty of illegal murder as of yet.

  • Flock CEO calls Deflock a “terrorist organization”

    Jump

  • In the UK the term is defined by the government as anyone who is deemed by the government a threat to the government or the people or someone's property or the predominant local religion. But recently it's been exclusively used for the first one. In this country state law is valued higher than corporate, moral, ethical and religious laws, so YMMV

    "Terrorism: interpretation. (Terrorism Act 2000)

    (1)In this Act “terrorism” means the use or threat of action where— (a)the action falls within subsection (2), (b)the use or threat is designed to influence the government [or an international governmental organisation] or to intimidate the public or a section of the public, and (c)the use or threat is made for the purpose of advancing a political, religious [, racial] or ideological cause.

    (2)Action falls within this subsection if it— (a)involves serious violence against a person, (b)involves serious damage to property, (c)endangers a person’s life, other than that of the person committing the action, (d)creates a serious risk to the health or safety of the public or a section of the public, or (e)is designed seriously to interfere with or seriously to disrupt an electronic system.

    (3)The use or threat of action falling within subsection (2) which involves the use of firearms or explosives is terrorism whether or not subsection (1)(b) is satisfied.

    (4)In this section— (a)“action” includes action outside the United Kingdom, (b)a reference to any person or to property is a reference to any person, or to property, wherever situated, (c)a reference to the public includes a reference to the public of a country other than the United Kingdom, and (d)“the government” means the government of the United Kingdom, of a Part of the United Kingdom or of a country other than the United Kingdom.

    (5)In this Act a reference to action taken for the purposes of terrorism includes a reference to action taken for the benefit of a proscribed organisation."

  • What exactly are composers doing when they wave around that tiny stick

    Jump

  • Essentially, musicians in an orchestra play the instruments, while the conductor plays the musicians. In both contexts they guide the instrument to make a specific note at a specific time, intensity and timbre, for a specific duration.

    As for how the musicians interpret the movements, not sure. Perhaps it's unique to every orchestra and relies on the familiarity between musician and conductor.

  • YSK you can turn off Google's personalised advertising. This prevents them from using things like your browsing history, search history, or personal data to serve you customised advertisements.

  • Oh yeah. One of my probably unprovable theories is that the data they collected on me will always be floating around, I can just do my best to stop new data being harvested and, potentially, old data might be unsellable. Like when Daniel Radcliffe didn't update his outfit for several months and paparazzi couldn't sell the photos they took of him to magazines because they all looked outdated and therefore inaccurate

  • I used to be the same, but I eventually got sick of seeing these constant requests to spend my money on whoever's product. If I see a problem that can be solved with a product, I know tlwhere to find stores, and I'll go look for it. I don't need 45,000 attempts at my money in case one is what I need. So I block all ads, pointedly avoid sponsored results, and use my own brain to decide what I want, when I want it.

    Plus it improves my experience on all services when the UI isn't wasted on banners and games don't play a video every thirty seconds. I haven't yet figured out how to block real-world ads. Maybe XR glasses with a brand censoring mod lol

  • This. I thoroughly checked all of my account's settings and toggled off about 15 switches related to history or data access. Not only that, Google can occasionally add new ones or toggle them back on, either through deceptive user prompts or underhanded updates.
