  • I'm giving lainchan a shot to feed my imageboard obsession and I've been pleasantly surprised. The average post is of a higher quality and the mods seem more active. At the same time there are still like memes and greentext culture.

    Might look into sushichan too...

    Only issue is having to use KurobaEx instead of (Blue) Clover which is a bit clunkier but otherwise I think I can satisfy my shitposting needs.

  • IPv4 addresses are not permanent and shuffle around a fair amount. There aren't enough addresses to cover the number of devices on the net. You'd need an ISP to map an IP to a specific time range confidently. Governments could do that but they could also do that pre-leak if they were investigating someone.

  • I can see where you are coming from. My BIL has learning difficulties and was borderline illiterate before smart phones enabled him to communicate in situations he otherwise wouldn't have been able to. Unfortunately the "like" button still causes issues such as when he liked/shared a meme of a scantily clad black lady with the subtitle "When a n*gga dick hits just right" or something along those lines on facebook - his black cousin was quite offended by that.

    That said, I agree with the other commenter that ableism is highly situationally dependent. Screen readers do not handle misspellings well like they mentioned. In my opinon it would be ableist if you were debating with someone or downvoted them due to an ad hominen dislike of their spelling as opposed to their sentiment.

  • Could be people using a second language like others have mentioned. Another thing could be British vs US english. Webster changed how words were spelt in the early 20th centry to make them more phonetic for Americans, i.e. "colour" -> "color"

    It has been a good few months for GamePass

    I've been playing through Avowed since it came out and loving it. Although admittedly I was already a big Pillars of Eternity fan.

    Then South of Midnight has come out recently and blown me away. I had low expectations but it is pretty much a new Psychonauts game.

    The puzzler Chants of Senaar has been very fun so far with a unique take on the puzzle genre in terms of learning a new symbol based language.

    Finally Blue Prince comes out today and it's got 10/10 review across the board. I feel like I am getting good value from my sub at the moment.

    BBC Radio Scotland Rugby Podcast - Six Nations: Beattie - 'Scotland need complete performance against France' - BBC Sounds

    www.bbc.co.uk BBC Sounds

    Listen without limits, with BBC Sounds. Catch the latest music tracks, discover binge-worthy podcasts, or listen to radio shows – all whenever you want

    How many times have we heard about the elusive 80 minute performance? That said I think Scotland can give France a scare before Les Bleus ultimately triumph

    Couldn't find a way to share at a specific timestamp but if you go to 57:30 then Asterix and his fellow Gauls discover rugby from Les Bretons. Great lots of great rugby related gags!

    Also found it interesting as a british person to hear the brits speak French with their accent. That's less rugby related though.

    AM2R (Unofficial Metroid 2 Remake)

    This game is unbelievable for an indie dev to create for free. Production values are through the roof. It plays like Zero Mission on the GBA and arguably does a better job of remaking the classic than the official 3DS Samus Returns game.

    I'm playing on PC but there is also an Android APK if you search for it.

    I'll probably stick to asking for oat milk instead of "porridge water" or whatever the new mandated name will be. To be honest I do think calling it "milk" lets them inflate the price when it is essentially porridge water.

    Lib Dem leader challenges Kier Starmer to a game of FIFA and will dance on TikTok every day until he accepts

    WTF is this shit Ed? I think I'm going to revoke my membership. Voted Labour last time anyway so my heart hasn't really been in it this year... At least I was able to vote against Layla Moran becoming leader a few years back.

    Videos on WhatsApp showing neds trashing cars and setting off fireworks through letter boxes of random houses. There’s a police helicopter over Niddrie. This is basically a riot every year! Authorities need to clamp down on this somehow.

    Why is Labour so puritanical?

    This is spectator so they are taking the most extreme right wing viewpoint on Labour's recent policies to improve the nation's health. I disagree with how they characterise it for the most part but they do seem to put their finger on the kind of authoritarian impulses inside the party. Definitely think the author misses the mark with their badly thought out/unsupported angle about it being patronising class politics.

    I was too young to take in much when John Major was in power but remember New Labour with Blair/Brown very well. They were also keen to make similar kind of policies that were - for lack of a better phrase - nanny state-ish. I found it interesting thinking about that legacy.

    Should also mention that both parties tend towards these types of policies. I suspect the civil service are keen on them and they test well in focus groups.

    Article is paywalled so will post it in comments.

    Digital Underground (feat. Tupac) - Same Song

    If Digital Underground were able to make more consistent albums then they'd be my favourite group ever. The best tracks are unreal but then the skits, etc. drag the whole thing down on repeated listens.

    This could have major repercussions for the game as we know it. The RFU has already reduced the amount of contact allowed in the grassroots of the game. Will the product we all love survive a legal tsunami if this ends in a court ruling?

    I always wonder if you could get players to sign away their rights to sue but I'm pretty certain that would not be legally enforceable, alongside being totally exploitative.

    This is upsetting to see. I've got a friend with MS and I hope she is not prevented from claiming assistance if (or when) she needs it due to this case causing more stringent checks on claimants.

    At least this lady got the jail.
