Yeah, haha. Like oh I saw flaws whilst on the hypercritical test that exposes flaws.

if its lucky I might invest in a screen cleaner but that's about it xD

Nothing says "Ladders up, I got mine" quite like voting reform whilst being a minority who only 25 years ago weren't even allowed to be acknowledged in schools.

As a chronic abuser of phones (they're always falling ;w;) having to take the tough case & old screen protector off at the same time to fit a new tempered glass one feels like performing open heart surgery

Here's the old one which went crack after I had a particularly nasty fall skiing

Yeah, I'm a quarter shrimp on my mums side, actually 😅

Ok, so apparently using my phone which probably is the best screen I own besides maybe my OLED steamdeck I got 0.00092 www.keithcirkel.co.uk/whats-my-jnd...

(This also taught me that the downside of having 2, not very expensive 32" monitors is that the bigger the screen, the more crucial backlighting consistency is... even my nicer 4K one is kind of ass, with me having to filter out the erroneous hue shifts due to backlight)

Apparently My JND is 0.0042, or "really fucking low" which is neat.

I'm apparently really good with blues and greens, oranges, reds and purples, not so much.

Thanks @keithamus.social for the fun challenge

UPDATE: The European Parliament voted today to *end* untargeted mass scanning of private communications, firmly rejecting the error-prone and unconstitutional surveillance practices of recent years! Next: trilogue negotiations w/ Commission and Council.

My 3rd party controller has this feature where you can remove the sticks & turn them 90° to swap from fast movements to precise movements

I've used this once

There is however, a secret second function where the stick comes off and enters hammer space for a bit

I have used this ᴍᴀɴʏ ꜰᴜᴄᴋɪɴɢ ᴛɪᴍᴇꜱ

Oh shit, right you are.

And you can buy X Premium with it, something which is literally a paywall to making photorealistic CSAM images with Grok so y'know... That's good

Ofcourse, Visa Mastercard and Amex responded to that horrendous feature with... Oh yes, fuck all.

Just checking in on how last week's Radio 4 statement by Emily Thornberry is going...

The "lessons" Labour have learnt from Gordon & Denton have been:

- offering a literal BNP policy for asylum seekers
- Pushing through the destruction of trials by jury
- launching a Cass Review for *all* Trans people
- allowing the Met to ban *only* a Pro-Palestine march

It's been under 2 weeks.

Why Europe Is Creating an Alternative to Visa & Mastercard YouTube video by TLDR News EU

I'm really hoping the EU can fix the shit paypros are pulling 🫠

Years ago I remember a police commissioner reporting that they could deal with one big protest fine, what they struggled with was 10 simultaneous smaller protests at once.

Everyone having their own service is comparable. Become background noise. The guerilla warfare of smut distribution.

This is from 1975.

HEY NERDS

SUBSCRIBESTAR HAS FAILED

IF YOU SIMPLY FLEE TO ANOTHER PLATFORM, YOU ARE NOT WORKING TO PROTECT YOURSELF, YOU WILL HAVE TO FLEE AGAIN

HAVE A THINK ABOUT WHAT WE CAN DO TO GIVE OURSELVES STABILITY AND CONNECTION WITH EACH OTHER

DON'T SIMPLY RUN

PLAN

Given that every 'evidence review' under Labour is conducted to 'build the evidence case against' can there be any real doubt about how this ends?

The complete removal from the NHS, and possible criminalization, of all medication for trans people.

Ironically, Starmer has presided over a very corrupt, very authoritarian government running a huge tax burden, who've repeatedly stifled freedom of speech via protest... So if newsnight should be Photoshopping anyone into a ushanka standing by the kremlin, it should be him, not Corbyn.

Since labour took office in 2024 we've had the online safety act which started the age verification shit which is also why Britain just straight up can't access Imgur any more, we've had heavy, performative gov use of AI, our leader has bent the knee to trump over and over and a war on trans folks.

That the NHS is quoting sections of the EA2010 as justification for attacking trans kids, makes me think there’s an obsessive, ideologically driven ‘gender critical’ transphobe directly behind this! 😖

The ONLY way this is “proportionate” is if eradicating trans people is your “aim”! 😣

Yeah... Why worry about the crazed gunman when the shady stranger has already stabbed you through the chest.

I'm so fucking close to starting a GFM to cover the expenses of selling our home so I can just immediately up-sticks and move to Ireland.

For ages I was terrified of a Reform Government in 2029. The Green surge gave me hope...

Now it seems Wesley wants to get that coup de grâce whilst he can.

Hey so just so people are aware, if they do this they will be signing off on killing me. I do not produce hormones since I had surgery and was assured I would have that medication for the rest of my life from them.

I have other means, a lot of people like me wont and will be very scared

I took some VR Photos as set-dressing for an event I'm running but I just gotta share here this because they came out SO good

Yeah absolutely. I think I can pinch my nose if they have some bad votes they were whipped into, but any limp-wristed consent manufacturing media statements/socials posts on immigration, trans issues, government spending, trump, war, or right wing extremism should get them straight blacklisted.

I think I'm ok with it so long as they are not selected by default at the next election and their record is heavily scrutinised. More numbers is good when we only have 5 MPs, and potentially it gives more areas a taste of what a local voice is like instead of a mouthpiece for the party line.

please please please please please help mae get back on her feet. she needs so much help and so much kindness rn. i would not be here without her. here is her gfm link again. she just lost everything in a flood. gofund.me/fb9214997
