Rosie Duffield quits as Labour MP with attack on Keir Starmer
  • Hate her, but can't disagree that the two-child benefit cap is fucking awful for families that need the help. Those kids don't deserve to be punished for being born. Something, something, broken clock.

    Note: I do not have or want children, I just have empathy for them because I grew up in poverty myself. I still think she's vile.

  • ‘Cold-Blooded Business’: Nintendo Is Patent Trolling Palworld Because It Got Too Big
  • I mean, the bar is on the ground at this point at best.

    It was a painful process, having my love of Pokémon games slowly stripped away until I finally gave up on them. It's hard giving up on something that you've loved from childhood. Pokémon used to be my comfort game and it's now unplayable trash.

    The only reason I still have my Switch at all right now is the Zelda franchise because I currently lack the means to emulate. And the occasional sale item from the eShop because I'm not paying full price for a Switch game ever again after they ruined Pokémon.

    I'm surprised no one's brought up the hellscape we know as the Nintendo eShop. It's >90% trash.

  • Anon works the phones
  • This. I worked in a call centre for a while. Service was not the priority, speed was. I got in trouble for staying on the line to actually resolve a customer's issue because it took a long time (basically ended up having to do a conference call with the third party who had fucked up). I left that job ASAP because fuck that.

  • What browser do yall use?
  • In descending order of good privacy:

    • Tor (not necessary for the majority of use-cases)
    • Hardened Firefox (you can find tutorials for this with a quick Google)
    • Mullvad
    • Librewolf
    • Brave (yes there's controversy about crypto and the founder being a dick, it's still miles better than Chrome)
    • Everything else
    • Chrome itself (seriously, don't use Chrome)

    My number 1 recommended plugin for privacy and getting rid of ads is always ✨ uBlock Origin ✨ (not uBlock, that's not the one by the OG dev).

  • This is a bigger culture shock than the metric vs imperial system to me.
  • Then we would think it's a three-storey building. Really don't see the issue with calling the ground level what it is. The ground floor is zero levels above the ground. The first floor is one level above the ground. Think of it like this: how many flights of stairs does it take to get to that floor?

    Example: my local hospital lists a ward I visited as being on the second floor, therefore you go up two flights of stairs to get to it.
