For work reasons I need to upgrade my main desktop PC to Windows 11 today.
I am, of course, using the Rufus installer to strip out bloatware. Still, please pray for me.

Okay, if people are going to share screenshots of other people being transphobic, could you please put some kind of moderation tag on them?

I've seen the same Graham Linehan post a dozen times this morning now, and it's upsetting me.

say to the marketing team: And how am I meant to ensure here are no copyrighted assets that could get me/the company in trouble if I do this?

Because the you can't. Its a plagiarism machine.

There's a bizarre subset of fanfic writers/readers who have adopted a frankly bizarre hybrid of Evangelical purity culture bullshit crossed with fanfic wish fulfilment and 'toxic positivity' therapy speak. They are very loud and outspoken and wrong about almost everything.

Manics fans we need your help!
Next year is 40 years of the Manics, so we're making a very special edition of the zine.
In order to make it, we'd like to get as many manics fans involved as we can, as our idea for the zine is not only a celebration of the band we love so much but also the fandom.

It doesn't really count, but in Knight Rider fanfic circles there's a fan character named Genevieve Knight-Santos who ends up running the Foundation in some versions, and she's always a positive force.

If you tried to send me a private message, I can't see it. You have to scan your ID to access private Bluesky messages in the UK due to stupid new law.
My email is in my bio though

If you have Twitch Prime, they're giving away XCOM 2 for free this week. It's a code for GOG.

If you already have XCOM 2, grab the code and give it to someone else who doesn't. It's a super great game and people need happy-making things now.

SHARE THE THINGS.

What is going to be utterly fucked at Nvidia is any future development. Their R&D dept has been told to focus on this AI shit for well over a year to the exclusion of almost anything else. That's development time they aren't gonna get back.

Tl:DR The Fae. You absolutely do not fuck with them. They can be nice but they are as whimsical and capricious as feral cats. Yes they exist. Yes they like to fuck with people for lols, though they can also be helpful when they want to.

Needing multiple streams of income to stay afloat is a societal failure not a personal one. You should be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle with one job. You are not lazy.
