For every $1 in benefits fraud, agencies spend $3.72 trying to detect it, based on the unproven assumption that means-testing lowers the rate of fraud. But there's evidence to indicate that trusting people to self-report what they need would be cheaper overall, even factoring in fraud/abuse.

I'm poor and I only take whatever assistance I *really* need, and means-testing pisses me off so much because I know I could jump through the hoops easier than most, simply because I can navigate an online government-run portal or app to apply for it.

Hey everyone, here's a real simple way to disable "Super Resolution" on your channels:

• YouTube Studio
• Settings
• Channel
• Advanced settings
• Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance visual quality"
• Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance audio quality"

For gamers who aren't in game dev, you should know that we are in one of the worst periods in game dev history in terms of industry stability and the reason you're not seeing that play out through products is because the average development window of games is 3-7 years so it hasn't reached you yet.

Hey look, YouTube is doing a thing that no one asked for, benefits no one, wastes resources, reduces functionality, destroys original content, burdens infrastructure, and worsens the user experience all so they can push a false narrative about tech that fundamentally doesn't work the way they want.

Music, art, and satire are the kryptonite of fascism, the radiant forces that weaken its grip and expose its absurdity.

La música, el arte y la sátira son la kriptonita del fascismo, las fuerzas radiantes que debilitan su control y exponen su absurda naturaleza.

I know a lot of people (cough Millennials) feel like they need to START a thing, START a food bank, build a little free food pantry.

My friends, my loves, my dears.

Don't start.

Screenshot of text: unfuck google drive by shooting gemini Hey folks! Google is fucking you via sneaky enshittification again! Want the shit in your google drive to load instantly again, instead of taking for-fucking-ever? Open your gdrive (web OR app) Settings > Manage Apps Gemini was checked "use as default" (and i sure the fuck didn't set it that way, this was a silent push) Nuke that, and suddenly, folders that took up to a minute to populate and sort do so in a fraction of a second.

friend shared this, immediately updated my settings

The thing that sucks about Gemini is that it makes everything so damn slow even on a new, literally-just-out-of-the-box phone. I keep having to disable it for my mum every time she gets a firmware update.

Me: you want treats or not? You don't lemme finish, you no get tweats!

I tweet: "people who see 50% of their monthly paycheck go to rent don't care if a candidate eats with their hands. they want to hear what your candidate is going to do about housing." John Galt 2025 replies: "Move if the cost of living is too high."

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

I'm furious that they have people dance and wave flags to greet him like, WHY? As if having him here isn't an embarrassing thing already D8<
