This is the first time I've seen someone with the actual correct interpretation of what is happening here: Sony wants to go full subscriptions service/cloud gaming. They don't want to sell you physical games because they don't want to sell you *games*. They want to sell you a subscription.

This took me several weeks to make because I went through several years worth of corporate/investor/earnings reports but... here it is! The actual, long-term reason Sony killed physical discs, and why they can't go back. youtu.be/_Znc7MVsSlg?...

Ein harmloser rechter Clown darf also unter dem Deckmantel der Kunstfreiheit frauenverachtende Zoten reißen, während kritische, politische Auseinandersetzung mit dem Faschismus in der Kunst gecancelt wird? Der ÖRR sprintet ja geradezu in vorauseilende Unterwürfigkeit vor dem Faschismus. EkelhAFD.

Die Satiresendung "Die Anstalt" beschäftigt sich mit Radikalisierung. Der queerfreundliche Rapper Danger Dan, der sich seit Jahren gegen Rechtsextremismus engagiert, sollte auftreten. Doch das ZDF lädt ihn aus.

"Driftet immer mehr ab" ist schon ein gewaltiges Understatement und lässt es klingen, als wäre Anti-Demokratie nicht der gewählte und gewollte Kurs.

Der Springer Verlag driftet immer mehr ins antidemokratische Spektrum ab. Nun zeichnet er den erklärten Demokratiefeind, Palantir-Gründer und Trump-Förderer Peter Thiel mit dem Axel Springer-Award aus. Klarer kann Döpfner nicht machen, dass er nicht auf Seiten der europäischen Demokratie steht.

AI has reached a new frontier: conversion therapy for trans kids. Detrans AI‘s site claims it helps users explore their gender dysphoria. Instead, it cites conspiracy theories and seeks to invalidate trans people — even if it risks their lives. Read my original reporting @rewirenewsgroup.com

This AI Chatbot Is Targeting Trans Users With Conversion Therapy

Detrans.ai says it helps users explore gender dysphoria in a balanced way, but it promotes anti-LGBTQ+ messages and relies on discredited science. Here is what this AI therapy chatbot actually told ou...

Don't fall for this. Rowling wants trans people to self censor and to stop sharing the report. If this report really was as defamatory as she claims, she wouldn't be cheering on its spread. What she really wants is a costly settlement from AI UK, humiliating apology, and permanent silence.

​A screenshot of a thread on X (formerly Twitter). The main post is a quote tweet by J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling), which reads: ​"Shout out to all trans activists sharing the blacklist of women's and gay rights organisations published by @AmnestyUK! You're demonstrating very effectively that in spite of their hasty backtrack it can be easily accessed forevermore, increasing legal liability. Thank you! ❤️" ​Rowling is quote-tweeting a user named Lesbian Lenin 🇵🇸 🔻 🇵🇸 (@xstaffsuck), whose post reads: ​"The report btw, documenting how TERF orgs work hand in hand w/ anti-abortionists, christian nationalists, & anti-LGBT+ (yes, you too, c*s queers!) orgs to push trans genocide ​To be anti-trans is to be anti-abortion, is to be a christian nazi, is to be anti-queer ​Report is below" ​The user @xstaffsuck is, in turn, quoting an earlier tweet from J.K. Rowling, which reads: ​"Should any of the women's organisations targeted by @AmnestyUK's recent 'anti-rights' blacklist wish to take legal action, applications can be made to the JK Rowling Women's Fund. jkrwf.org"

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

So, I would love to give GDQ the benefit of the doubt here, so I'd like to see a transparent insight into what led to this decision. I personally cannot imagine how an organization as politically aware as GDQ would just be ignorant to what a bad look this is. Somebody must have said something, no?

Heidi Reichinnek hat Recht. Wer in diesem Eiltempo das Krankenkassenpaket samt Änderungsanträgen durch den Bundestag peitscht, kann kein Interesse an einem wirklichen Austausch zwischen Betroffenen, Zivilgesellschaft und Politik haben.

Since apparently this isn't making it beyond UK news yet, Rockstar petitioned a British court to section an 18 year old autistic kid under the mental health act for hacking their server and leaking a short GTA 6 clip a couple of years ago. No trial, no term of sentence, just locked up in hospital.

Lapsus$: GTA 6 hacker handed indefinite hospital order

Judge says hacker remains a high risk through his skills and motivation to carry out cyber-crime.

Locking up an autistic kid in a mental hospital for life for leaking a clip of a game is bullshit. Guess I'm never playing a Rockstar game again.

As the director of a historical video game preservation institution, and someone who has dedicated his entire adult life to this cause, this is accurate. We have attempted to work with the industry's trade organization to find a legal path forward, but they refuse to offer a meaningful alternative.

Chloe "in ✈️ at home" Adams@addamschloe.bsky.social · last mo.

piracy is the only extant form of media preservation that exists in games right now, you might find it morally reprehensible but there is literally no other institution that will keep games alive in 25, 50 years' time

You can check out my analysis of how the NYT's became hostile to trans and queer people here. www.nytimes.lgbt

The New York Times changed how it covers trans people. I measured it.
