@MrDanielBuck Even the "hath good character" requirement would be enough to disqualify at least half the students today.

@DanFriedman81 The right will defend free expression even when they don't agree with the message.
The left will defend the message even at the cost of free expression.

Hogwarts Legacy also defies the “go woke, go broke” trend. It is one of the wokest games I have ever played; as obnoxious about it as Last of Us 2.
It depicts a nineteenth century Hogwarts that is about 60% nonwhite. One of the major characters is an African exchange student. A character whose job in the game is to run a series of side quests about solving puzzles in the environment randomly informs you that she is gay.
The Three Broomsticks pub in Hogsmeade is run by a non-passing transwoman named Sirona Ryan and there is a sidequest where you collect lost letters to learn the story of Sirona’s transition.

Hogwarts Legacy sold 40M copies, even with a performative internet boycott. The Harry Potter series could be the biggest series in HBO history.

@ILoveToTalkFilm @DiscussingFilm There is no conceivable way that they won't fuck it up.

A sequel movie to the ‘LORD OF THE RINGS’ trilogy is officially in the works.
Plot synopsis — 14 years after the passing of Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin set out to retrace the first steps of their adventure. Meanwhile, Sam’s daughter, Elanor, has discovered a long-buried secret and is determined to uncover why the War of the Ring was very nearly lost before it even began.
Stephen Colbert is co-writing the script.

@hanifbali Ca 25% av alla graviditeter aborteras i Sverige. Att vi dödar av en fjärdedel av varje kull helt självmant kan ju också vara en del av problemet.

Halva bortfallet i fertilitet kan tillskrivas bostadsmarknaden i USA i en rykande färsk studie som till skillnad från tidigare forskning använder en lång mer avancerad metod för sin uträkning.
Vi behöver en liknande studie i Sverige pronto.

Fertility has fallen in the United States. At the same time, housing has gotten substantially more expensive. Are these related? How so? Benjamin Couillard attributes fully half of the fertility decline of the 2000s and 2010s to housing prices, a loss of 13 million children! 1/

@zacbowden Yeah that's a lot of pretty words. I seriously doubt that your H1B Indians with scam diplomas and ChatGPT (because seriously not even Microsoft uses copilot) can deliver on them.

BREAKING: Microsoft just announced several major changes to Windows 11 in an effort to win back user trust and evolve the platform into something people will actually want to use over macOS and Linux!
It's a huge announcement that addresses Windows 11's biggest problems today, tackling core fundamental issues such as unreliable system performance, UX consistency, AI bloat and general enshittification.
Microsoft has confirmed that this year, it WILL be reducing where ads and Copilot appear throughout the system, including in Start, Widgets, Notepad, Photos, and more!
File Explorer and Windows Search will be upgraded with improved performance and capabilities that make finding apps and files much faster and easier.
The OS will become lighter with less RAM and system utilization at idle, making it smoother to run on low end hardware with limited memory. These improvements will also benefit high-end PCs too.
Windows Update will be improved with more granular controls and the ability to postpone updates for longer, along with reducing how often the OS needs to restart to install an update.
Microsoft has also confirmed that it's bringing back fan favourite features such as the ability to move the Taskbar! It's also working to update more areas of the system shell with modern WinUI designs, which should make Windows 11 feel more coherent and complete.
There's much more in the announcement, and it honestly all sounds too good to be true. Microsoft really is listening to feedback, and is eager to make Windows the BEST desktop OS on the market. More details including when these changes will arrive in the link! windowscentral.com/microsoft/wind…

For years now, the #1 ranked Minecraft PVPer was a girl named Marlow
This was touted as a huge win for diversity in esports
Long standing cheating suspicions were universally condemned as sexism
A few days ago, Marlow was revealed to not only be cheating, but also a catfish

@billiongjgly Didn't you have them send you the blueprints and maybe a mockup before they started production?

The jury is out on Crimson Desert.
Turns out I was right. I know, I know... you guys hate when that happens.
The consensus so far:
• Exploration is the main draw
• The game tries to do way too much
• Feels like a single-player MMO
• Story is trash
• Mechanics are convoluted
• Takes 8+ hours to even hook you
So yeah, this is a very specific niche game.
The kind some people will absolutely love… and most will play, think “yeah, that was alright,” and never touch again.
And that’s fine.
Not every game needs to be perfect to be enjoyable.
And not everyone has to like the same things you do.

@sloseriombud Märkt exakt samma sak med andra offentliga rulltrappor. Skulle inte förvåna mig om orsakerna bakom är väldigt liknande runt om landet.
Svenska

Varför funkar rulltrapporna alltid på Åhléns men (typ) aldrig i tunnelbanan?
Smedjan har granskat SL:s upphandling av rulltrappornas underhåll och fynden är nedslående: leverantören riskerar vite för att ett klistermärke sitter kvar, men INTE för att rulltrappan står still. Felavhjälpande underhåll sköts av leverantören på eget (!) initiativ så länge varje enskild reparation understiger 100 000 kronor, vilket skapar incitament att lappa och laga i en oändlighet hellre än att åtgärda och förebygga.
Privata fastighetsägare mäter tillgänglighet i KPI:er och räknar kostnaden per stillastående minut. SL räknar inte alls.
Det är med andra ord inte rulltrappan som är trasig, utan incitamenten.
Det korta svaret på frågan som jag inledde med är således: för att någon annan betalar. timbro.se/smedjan/varfor…

@Aktiepappa Offentligt finansierade utbildningar borde tillsättas efter behov. Visst vill du utbilda dig till feministisk dans terapeut så varsågod men du får betala det själv.

@politicalawake Same playbook as Europe. Obfuscate and gaslight so that the sheep will be complacent until it's too late to do anything about it.

@insanebrawls Seems kind of fake since he didn't chimp out on the police and scream that he dindunutn as loudly as he could at least 10 times.
