Hi I'm Tim.

I'm AuDHD - officially diagnosed ADHD and self-diagnosed (for now) with ASD. I also suffer from a great deal of Imposter Syndrome.

  • Saudi Arabia's acquisition of Electronic Arts faces pushback from game developers, petition calls on FTC to 'scrutinize this deal closely'

    Jump

  • Especially since that Saudi influence has the President's son-in-law pooling money with them on this investment ( from his shady deals made during Trump's 1st term).

  • President Trump commutes the prison sentence of George Santos

    Jump

  • They are pro white-collar crimes (unless it hits their bottom line personally), and paint minorities and anyone left of fascist as "real criminals".

  • Windows 10 is done, and this is a bad thing for everyone (not just Windows users)

    Jump

  • Some people did as they didn't meet that min specs, but it wasn't for something silly like the TPM requirement. Locking 11 behind a non-serviceable upgrade is artificially creating e-waste, and they should be forced to pay for it all to be properly recycled, but capitalism cares more about making the graph go up than becoming the earth from Wall-E

  • Windows 10 is done, and this is a bad thing for everyone (not just Windows users)

    Jump

  • The same was said when Microsoft sunset XP and "forced" everyone to use Windows 10 - the last Windows™.

  • On January 1st of 2026, Texas will be required to give ID to download apps from the app stores. It doesn't matter if it's NSFW or not.

    Jump

  • Well doing it themselves would be ambitious for a small dev, which would almost certainly lead to devs using these fly-by-night "verification" companies that you hope are doing the right thing with everyones info.

  • On January 1st of 2026, Texas will be required to give ID to download apps from the app stores. It doesn't matter if it's NSFW or not.

    Jump

  • This sounds like a headache for Google and Apple, and if I was a small dev I would just geo-block Texas rather than jump through their useless hoops.

  • Project on implications of Piracy (need opinions articles and ideas)

    Jump

  • I think the documentary "How Music Got Free" takes anyone that was around back then right back to the days of scene races, FTP top sites, and IRC bots. And the documentary is about music, but it was the same for most all other media also (movies/games/etc.).

  • Australia's Queensland reverses policy, pledges to keep using coal power

    Jump

  • Yeah, why use renewable energy when you can use a dirty finite resource that will almost certainly rise in price over their time horizon.

  • Carney announces long-awaited automatic tax filing, makes school food program permanent

    Jump

  • Better than also making them have to file taxes, although it should be something that they shouldn't even have to bother with since they are below poverty already.

    Edit - Ah, I get the catch now, this is to make these people file that may otherwise not. Sneaky!

  • Stephen Miller Sparks Suspicion After ‘Glitch’ on CNN When He Mentioned ‘Plenary Authority’

    Jump

  • Huh? He said on live TV thar Trump is an authoritarian, and because he is nobody has the power to stop him from using the military against civilians. Nothing to do with Dems trying to stop him.

  • New York Yankees fans boo Canadian national anthem before Toronto Blue Jays playoff game | Sports

    Jump

  • Before President shit for brains Canada was are strongest ally.

  • New York Yankees fans boo Canadian national anthem before Toronto Blue Jays playoff game | Sports

    Jump

  • The whole state, or even the whole city, isn't all assholes. I feel any sports ball fan group is going to be one of the worst representations of America.

  • Stephen Miller Sparks Suspicion After ‘Glitch’ on CNN When He Mentioned ‘Plenary Authority’

    Jump

  • Did he have a recent concussion like the Turtle when he was glitching often?

    Edit - Like stated in the article the people saying that he accidentally said the quiet part out loud and someone in his ear told him to shut up is almost certainly what happened. It makes it hard to say Trump is following the law and the Dems are just Trump haters when he literally said he was an authoritarian live on TV. =)

  • Android/Phone Alternatives? [Discussion]

    Jump

  • I have already been researching this very topic myself, and I'm thinking I'm either going GraphenOS or off to Apple's walled garden. I'm hesitant to try something like the ONEPLUS, as they are running a reskinned Android which is the thing I hate about Samsung, and why I'd never buy another.

  • Spam calls in Canada are out of control — this new iPhone feature stops them

    Jump

  • Google lets you ask a series of suggested questions (kinda like the auto suggested text stuff), or you can just ignore the call. I've never felt the need to engage any further with any numbers I don't already have, and not sure exactly why you'd want to, but the feature has been available for years now.

    Edit - I think you can even screen the call by listening to the callers reply to the robot voice, but again never really cared enough to use it.

  • Youtube seems to be blocking access to a seriously large amount of publicly listed videos

    Jump

  • Low effort/slop videos are different than your right-wing mis/disinformation, conspiracy theory, white supremacy videos though. By all the platforms giving Trump back his accounts they have said they are OK with those again, it's just the low effort/slop they care about. However, if those circles cross, I'm sure AI slop spreading hate would be now OK.

  • Youtube seems to be blocking access to a seriously large amount of publicly listed videos

    Jump

  • That sounds like it could be a codec issue, have not experienced any of that on my TV's or Linux boxes.

  • Youtube seems to be blocking access to a seriously large amount of publicly listed videos

    Jump

  • Not sure these channels even are (they look like slop vids) , but YouTube is supposed to be taking the ban hammer to low effort and slop videos starting this month. A little housekeeping will be greatly appreciated, as the slop/low effort/"look at me bro!" videos have gotten out of hand.

  • FBI boss Kash Patel gave New Zealand officials 3D-printed guns illegal to possess under local laws

    Jump

  • He brought the illegal weapons across state/country borders, isn't that arms trafficking?

    Arms trafficking is the illegal movement, acquisition, or transfer of weapons, firearms, ammunition, or their components, often across national borders and from legal to illegal markets, without authorization.
