I’ve finally added “ex” to my bio. Long Covid, chronic lung pain, and asthma mean I can’t reliably deliver the level of quality a top broadcast deserves right now. Esports has been a huge part of my life for 10 years. From JGL to ESL, the people I’ve met and the friendships I’ve made are genuinely second to none. There were negatives too, but I never went in thinking it was all roses. You don’t get the good without the ugly. If you’re trying to build a career in esports: be multi-skilled, and network like your life depends on it. Maybe I’ll be back one day. For now, you’ll find me running D&D and other TTRPG content on my channel. That’s the new addiction, passion, and love. If you want to chat, hang out, or you need support, drop me a message. And before I forget, thank you to so many people I’ve worked with over the years. I'm not going to tag you, too many people for that and I'd end up forgetting someone! Peace out.

This is what the UK spyware proposal means. There must be government spyware on every mobile device. It shall watch everything that happens, including always watching the screen, looking for things the government disapproves of. When anything is flagged by the software as something the government doesn't like, the software must block it from being sent or displayed (in realtime). The user of the device must not be able to shut this watching and blocking off. The only way to shut it off would be to ask the government or its proxies to do so for you, at their discretion. Therefore the whole device must be locked down. Administrator rights and the decision of what software or operating system to run or not to run must be taken from the owner/user and handed to the government and its proxies. Apple and Google are themselves working hard to lock down the devices they are involved in to shut out competition and establish a duopoly. The UK government says it is "working closely" with Apple and Google and currently they synchronise and coordinate their communication on this subject. The UK government is now proposing to mandate what would otherwise be illegal anti-competitive practices. @GrapheneOS on the Apple and Google duopoly: x.com/GrapheneOS/status/2053… Statement from @signalapp x.com/signalapp/status/20640… @ReclaimTheNetHQ on the state spyware: reclaimthenet.org/starmer-ca… The government announcement: gov.uk/government/news/new-p…

UK Government want full control beyond what is needed. Starmer has a history of voting against privacy rights and believes we should have none.

I bet £100 it will be some kind of sham to get people to move towards not owning their own hardware. Or, some other sham.

The ending of The Boys was as good as it was going to be. The show wasnt some high brow content, it was bloody, it was gory and it originates from an absoloute loon, Garth Ennis. All of the villains are worthless shits who are nothing without their powers, some even with.
I'm starting to understand that the reason the finale for this show is getting review bombed so hard, is because there are so many people out there that fundamentally do not understand these characters.

Despite my latest tweet of using "let me Google that for you" Don't use Googles search engine, use something else. Also, look into Proton drive over Google drive
Google announces it will now prioritize AI-generated answers in search results over human-written website articles • Search will be centered around a reimagined ‘intelligent search box’ • Starts next Tuesday (via @TechCrunch)

Friendly reminder that the creators of disco Elysium cannot utilize their own IP because an investor gained 51% ownership of the company using a backend deal that the creators weren’t made aware of by selling himself a scrap of paper with a doodle on it for $1 and then selling that back to the company for 5 million euro and then systematically firing the people that created the world disco is in from 10 years before as a modified D&D campaign. ALL of them.

Palantir has been granted “unlimited access” to NHS patient data. This is the same company that is involved in mass surveillance and genocide. We did not consent to this. Get Palantir out of our NHS, now.
