  Bluesky chased black people off the platform right at the start when they allowed racial slurs in usernames. They are currently chasing trans people off the platform by refusing to ban Jesse Singal for harrasment.

  Bingo

  Pretty sure this is the plot of a dystopian Doctor Who episode. Two actually, thinking about it.

  All my bitcoins gone

  Neither am I but ours are so paranoid they will still wear stab vests under their hoodies when doing plain clothes patrols even if the majority don’t carry a gun.

  It could be solved with a simple if statement

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK government announces tender for live facial recognition technology⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sad to say that, at least, the Met and Merseyside are currently using live facial recognition. They have dedicated vans and stop anyone wearing a mask near them. It has a habit of picking up racialized facial features particularly those common in BAME and GRT groups.

  This is a CAPTCHA that is using security by obscurity. Honestly, it seems a lot better than a lot of alternatives around at the moment designed to combat the smarter CAPTCHA solvers.

  As a rule, do not talk to cops. If you need to talk to cops, you either don’t, or go through a lawyer.

  It says Kepler and older. You are right though 10 series has driver issues. Too old for NVK, too new for the old solution.

  I think I might start adding a suffix to my posts

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nationwide to launch mortgages at six times' income for first-time buyers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They did this before 2008 and it ended up being responsible for the credit crunch. Housing needs to cost an amount that doesn’t require such extreme mortgages.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My new company let me join the union on my first day, within their onboarding app⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If the employer if promoting a union, its probably somewhat in their pocket. Its just an extension of HR. I used to use the printer in the same room as my workplace HR and the union rep would constantly be insulting employees behind their backs to them.

  A comment I see nobody making is that this will negatively effect disabled gamers and prevent the use of accessibility tools.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rock Against Racism is reborn as gigs planned in riot towns across Britain⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Love Music Hate Racism has been going for years and it is a recruitment front for Stand Up to Racism, which itself is a front for the Socialist Worker Party, a group with an extreme history of abuse and movement sabotage and you can read about it at linktr.ee/fuckswp. These are fundraising activities for an already wealthy group that doesn’t need the money since they get a good chunk of union. Give your money to the mosque repair funds from the areas impacted or attend your local antifascist fundraiser; they tend to have decent sets and they help fund train tickets to bumblefuck nowhere and a surprising amount of equipment (mostly for unannounced background work)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Far-right disorder in England is at ‘turning point’ after arrests, say police⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cops and politicians are claiming credit for the quick response from local communities, and also the far right having generally really poor organizing practice, calling demonstrations in random locations they have never even seen before and not being present themselves to pull people together.

  Dating apps have never been my thing but I think this would be a good fediverse project, maybe linked with something like matrix.
