I though “accessibility” in video games meant, like, color blind mode and shit.

Due process isn’t always pretty, but don’t throw out the baby with the bath water.

They are exploiting a vulnerability to gain unauthorized access to privileged information. Sounds hackery to me. It’s not their fault that Zuck made it easy.

Just in case there any kilogenerians?

Am I supposed to know how much a box of tomatoes normally costs? How big of a box? Why not give the price increase as a percentage?

I hate headlines.

It’s not a good look for the party that is harping on the Epstein files to be reluctantly releasing redacted documents in responsive to widespread outrage.

There’s a difference between being funny and referencing something funny. This isn’t humor, it’s recall.

Morgan Stanley is not mentioned in the article.

Seems weird to call out a specific brokerage that doesn’t have any specific connection to Trump just to reference an advertisement from a quarter century ago.

He said: “Growing up in Tottenham in the 1980s, my biggest fear was ending up in prison. That may sound irrational, but in truth it was the fate of so many young Black boys like me.

“You saw it happen slowly at first. People missed school, got into petty trouble, started hanging around with the wrong crowd. No one stepped in to pull them back. For us, going to jail didn’t feel shocking or distant. It felt almost inevitable.

I don’t understand why he thought going to jail was something that would ‘happen’ to him. As if he can’t just choose to not break laws.

Police would share the file with a local women’s group, who would then deliver the information to the person who made the request and offer professional support.

That’s weird. Even if it was a couple of gay men, the info would be transmitted through a women’s group?

I think omission can be used for misleading/deception, but that it’s distinct from a lie.

Why were they storing passwords in plaintext in the databases?!

A lot of criticism here for numerical scores, but consider the popularity of tier list ranking videos. Maybe we should be ranking movies relative to one another. Not sure how that works as a UI though.

There are ways to be compelling other than annoyance.

This is a ruling from the 5th Circuit Court. From Wikipedia:

During his first administration, President Donald Trump appointed six judges to the court, with many observers thereafter regarding it as the most conservative court of appeals.[4][5][6] The Fifth Circuit’s reversal rate at the US Supreme Court from the beginning of the 2020 term through the end of the 2022 term was 74%, making it the 7th most frequently reversed circuit court; the average rate of reversals was 68%.[7][8] Some members of the Supreme Court, including Chief Justice John Roberts, have indicated concern with how the Fifth Circuit approaches cases.[9][10][11] Several court observers have interpreted the court as being exceptionally conservative in its rulings.[12]

A lot of people here are happy to see others lose a freedom that they themselves were never going to exercise.

Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Not like there was a STEM storage to begin with.
