been thinking about eternal sunshine of the spotless mind for two weeks now. finding the time to sit and give it the attention i'd like seems like an insurmountable ask, but just kind of enjoying it lulling around in the back of my subconscious.

Kinda Fucked Up that in our lifetimes we've gone from "never share personal info on the internet" to "hand over your identity to the most incompetent corporations imaginable".

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records.

Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'.

Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract.

had a nightmare trying to get my wireless joypad to connect to zorinOS
searched: joypad bluetooth connection issues in zorin
top forum answer: 'do you not understand the gnome implementation of the bluetooth stack?'

catastrophic to think a distro billed as "most user friendly" would be like this.

Like, I get it. I honestly get it, please don't @ me with your Linux defences. But such a massive, bewildering barrier to entry is so deeply off-putting to like 99% of the population and we desperately want out.

I *love* the idea of Linux. I really, really do, but this is the average user experience of Linux and it has been like this for DECADES and I'm genuinely amazed that no one has sorted this out as a priority.

I've love to know how this game fits into the deconstructeam ouvre! Like if the emotional fabric of it overlaps with any of the previous games, or how you approached the narrative of this one.
Maybe a little about how your team started working with Selkie Harbour?

Zack Polanski stood outside Palantir HQ to demand that the spy-tech firm - which has supported deadly ICE raids and enabled genocide in Gaza - gets out of our NHS

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

What ceasefire? These horrific numbers show Israel's genocide in Gaza isn’t over, despite Donald Trump announcing phase two of his so-called β€˜peace deal.’

I think it's interesting that the solicitor says that interim relief can be "draconian" on businesses by forcing the employer to pay for the length of the tribunal process.

So is it "draconian" on individuals to force them to pay for the length of the tribunal?

My picture was used in child abuse images. AI is putting others through my nightmare | Mara Wilson I was a child actor, exploited by strangers on the internet. Now millions of children face the same danger

I wrote about my experiences being sexually exploited as a child, and what we need to do to make sure AI doesn’t make that a reality for millions of children.
