I seem to remember many more references in there than that video shows.

I’m looking forward to running a Shadow of the Weird Wizard game at some point.
Also working on a campaign of “no thank you evil” for my kids.

While I have no doubt that the EU has corrupt politicians, It’s no where as visibly bad as it is in the US. Most of the people who could bring this forward get something out of what he is doing or contributing to them, and they would rather turn a blind eye than risk losing whatever he is giving them.
For some it’s helping out their base, for others its something more monetary.
There are mechanisms there, but they only work when the people watching them are invested in helping the citizens.

That’s definitely a part of it. All of the MS web platforms rely heavily on first and third party cookies. You can’t even log in properly to Teams if your browser is in incognito/private mode.

As someone who is not LGBTQ+ but is trying to understand it myself, the biggest key to “getting it” is separating sex and gender. Sex would be your biological make up, regardless of genital configuration. That’s your classic XX vs XY vs the rare “non-standard”. It’s important to note that there are multiple types of different physical configurations that are “male or female” - Anatomical, Hormonal, Chromosomal, and Cellular - and they frequently do not line up 100%.

Gender is separate from this as a mental construct/thought pattern. For most people, these two things line up, and that is your standard Cis person. A Trans person is where their mental configuration does not match their physical configuration. When this causes significant mental distress we call it gender dysphoria. For the rest, we call it being Trans, non-Binary or something else.

Isn’t that where they would receive the best treatment for themselves? Aren’t gender pronouns useful when distinguishing between biological differences in the medical field?

Why would there be a difference between gendered wards in the quality of the care? Health care is tailored to the patient, where in the hospital they are located shouldn’t affect it.

Aside from the standard dark patterns and extraneous, feature-forcing bloat, I really dislike that flat-design trend. Not just does it look kinda bad, but everything is so physically bloated to try to separate it from everything else that you get notably less usable screen space resulting in annoyingly little information density.

Back a long time ago when I worked as a cashier, it was store policy for us to bag everything for the customer. They could offer to bag, but we were expected to just start bagging automatically unless they interjected.

I’m pretty sure that is his point, the microblogging on kbin was not a draw to make him choose it over lemmy.

not just sent through, but indefinitely stored on the cloud server, despite advertising that it was not cloud-connected. It also generated facial-recognition based IDs for people which was also stored, and every single device could be connected to through an non-authorized connection request from VLC player.

Those are Rookie numbers. Got 67 tabs on mobile, and 6ish windows with 30-50 on my laptop. Not sure how many are on my desktop, but it’s spread across 3 browsers.

No, those are the exceptions I think. I suspect that removing them would have caused too much trouble for the main campaigns, because they would have had to explain that there is missing content and why for anyone who would be watching them for the first time.

While there is speculation that him leaving was related to this, there’s no confirmation, and chances are it was a different reason. Personally I suspect it was related to his substance abuse issues and his frequency of lashing out at trolls online. The breakup and restraining order were both this year, and DV is VERY often hidden in plain sight. Most people who interact with DV victims are completely unaware, because most people who commit DV are very good at being charming when they want to be and the victims are usually too afraid to let the people around them know.

Considering one of the things they are removing is a talk show that he hosted that lasted for multiple seasons, yeah. kinda.
