saw a tiktok about a schizophrenic man committing a violent hate crime and a lot of the comments were fearmongering about schizophrenic people in general, not the specific situation. and it just got me thinking about how schizophrenia is treated in media and the news, how you only hear about schizophrenic people when they’ve committed a violent crime, how society says these people need to be locked up in mental institutions for their own good, and like. i feel like people don’t understand that bodily autonomy applies to everybody. yes, even truly awful people. and truly awful people who happen to be mentally ill are not awful because of their mental illness, the two are totally unrelated. obviously, someone who’s committing violent hate crimes should not be allowed to continue to do those crimes. but just because a person poses a threat, the way to neutralize that threat is not involuntary commitment. because when you start to shove the “bad” crazy people in mental institutions against their will, that opens the gates for all mentally ill people to be institutionalized.
#the word of chuck#ableism tw#like. as someone who has schizophrenic friends#and who might very well be schizophrenic themselves (i’ve definitely got something undiagnosed)#it’s scary to see how quickly people will jump on the involuntary commitment bandwagon#every single time i’ve been committed it’s been voluntary#bc i’ve known that if i didn’t go voluntarily they’d involuntarily commit me#and i know that when my chart says voluntary commitment i get treated more like a human being#tiktok is evil obviously but there’s this one user w bpd who talks abt her experiences with involuntary commitment#and the shit she says is absolutely bone chilling#like. involuntary commitment cases are treated as so inhuman. the commitment is the tip of the iceberg#when it comes to their bodily autonomy being violated#did you know that if you get admitted for a 72 hour stay weekend days don’t count towards those 72 hours?#so if your times up and you want to leave you can’t. bc the doctors have the weekend off#sorry abt the essay in the tags. involuntary commitments are treated so terribly and it’s scary to see ppl advocating for it#edit: the tiktok user who talks about his experiences in the psych ward is @yamumsatryeduns and uses he/they pronouns#or possibly they/he. they have it in a different order on his bio than they do at the top of his page

can wholeheartedly recommend the lying life of adults by elena ferrante. the parallels between all the characters, the familial and generational trauma, the fucking incandescent rage and bitterness you sometimes feel as a teenage girl, ferrante’s usual explorations of womanhood in misogynistic and patriarchal societies all hit like individual trains of their own. just finished it and i honestly feel like im reeling.
#anyway time to go on goodreads and see the flood of 1-star reviews#thats my experience like i'll read a phenomenal book and then on goodreads all the popular reviews will be like 'this book was terrible'#and i mean i trust my tastes in books way more than the average goodreads user but sometimes i wonder how so many people can be so wrong#whatever this book was absolutely stunning

"hiiii thanks for using Android Auto :) would you like AI to read your incoming messages and summarize them for you? :) "
literally who asked for this? who's receiving texts so big they want them summarized?? you shouldn't be driving if your attention span is so short you can't listen to 30 seconds of a text being read out to you?
stop putting ai in everything please please please please
#stop trying to force ai on everyone and everything!!#its wrong so much and its annoying and its making it harder to use technology in general#i have to spend much more time now picking around auto generated results and bot made websites and shit now its a terrible user experience#how long til a firefox extension to autoblock all ai junk?

“People who sit down at concerts are the worst ever and deserve to be publicly shamed”
Hey I’m disabled, I literally can’t stand for a full concert (and I don’t think you should be filming anyone without their permission)
“Well obviously I didn’t mean disabled people”
Congratulations you have now implied disabled people are not included in the word “people” (also like how would you tell whether someone who’s sitting down is disabled it’s not like we have a specific look)
#believe it or not I have seen even worse than this#namely saying that yes actually disabled people who sit in the seat they paid for are terrible concertgoers and should’ve just bought a no#accessible ticket if they wanted to sit (doesn’t make any sense bc that’s specifically for wheelchair users in Sweden)#in general I hate how people have started treating being in public like it’s a performance we owe to other people#no I won’t improve your concert experience by acting how you want me to I also want to enjoy it#I’m not performing the concert am I??#also people were saying you shouldn’t sing musical theatre songs at karaoke bc nobody likes them (and also don’t go to karaoke if you can#sing but also don’t if you can’t sing)#but little do they know I fucking hate some popular karaoke songs yet I don’t think anybody is ruining the fun by singing them#because I have the ability to understand what is fun for me is not always fun for other people and karaoke isn’t an event where everybody#in the room can always have the most fun#people will sing songs I don’t know and ballads and songs I hate#but guess what? when they’re done I applaud anyway! and then I don’t go on the internet and tell everyone they ruined my night#because they DIDN’T#let me sing musical theatre songs terribly at karaoke please

https://www.theverge.com/2022/2/25/22949293/tumblr-nycchr-settlement-adult-content-ban-algorithmic-bias-lgbtq
For those who don't remember, here's the lawsuit two years ago where Tumblr (or specifically Automattic) settled with the New York City Commission on Human Rights regarding Tumblr's terribly implemented porn ban targeting LGBTQ folk more than it should. Here's an excerpt detailing what the NYCCHR ordered Tumblr to do:
The settlement gives Tumblr 180 days to hire an expert on sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) issues and provide related training to moderators. It must also hire someone with experience in this area as well as expertise in image classification, who will review Tumblr’s moderation algorithms to see if they’re more likely to flag LGBTQ content. As part of an overall review, Tumblr will reexamine 3,000 old cases where a user successfully appealed a takedown, looking for patterns that could indicate bias.
Now, on a totally unrelated note, here's the complaint page for reporting discrimination to the NYCCHR. Completely unrelated to what's going on right now or the rest of this post, I swear.
[edited since it looks like the link broke somehow]
[edit #2: again, for unrelated reasons, here's a link to a post about the San Francisco equivalent]

i entirely agree that humans should depend on each other more and that we should try to approach people with open minds and not believe that they are out to get us, on that note, shaming and chastising people for not feeling comfortable to depend on other people and telling them that they need to fix it or they're actually MORE of a bother and a burden is probably not the best way to go about it
#10000 millionth post where some tumblr users' opinion breaches containment and i must comment on it vaguely#listen it is sort of upsetting how it really is true that the majority of those call-out-y posts on peoples' behaviours can be really#damaging for people with ocd. like you re just going to send us on a spiral because now we arent even sure if the thing we were trying to d#as to not cause other people pain is actually causing more pain and oh dear god we're really terrible people ohh fack ive known all along#i think the first step to making people feel more comfortable to take your help and hospitality is probably approaching them kindly?#at least instead of saying we must ''learn to accept it''#plus the mention of individualism and comunialism-- i agree individualism has hurt a lot of people and it is very bad#although to some degree i dont think it is entirely wrong you cannot fully depend on everyone 100% of the time for your own safety#we are as a society not there yet where that is possible. etc etc also learned helplessness#but anyways if youre going to talk about individualism then you have to actually acknowledge that a lot of collectivist societies have cult#cultures in which REFUSING THE HOSPITALITY IS PART OF THE CULTURE!!!! where youre meant to say no many times as a show of respect and as th#host continues to offer it. as well many many many MANY people born from immigrant parents or who are immigrants themselves have a shared#experience of being raised to be as completely clean and polite and small as possible when in someone elses' home#it just really rubbed me the wrong way the entire post...#i just dont think you should get so upset someone doesnt accept your hospitality consider everything is not erm about you and maybe they#arent comfortable enough with you or are having a bad day ?#''i can always tell when they are only saying it because they dont want to be a bother'' no u litearlly cannot#anyways it was a very american post that i did not like.#do help each other and take the help when you need it though we need that.

Recall is designed to use local AI models to screenshot everything you see or do on your computer and then give you the ability to search and retrieve anything in seconds. There’s even an explorable timeline you can scroll through. Everything in Recall is designed to remain local and private on-device, so no data is used to train Microsoft’s AI models. Despite Microsoft’s promises of a secure and encrypted Recall experience, cybersecurity expert Kevin Beaumont has found that the AI-powered feature has some potential security flaws. Beaumont, who briefly worked at Microsoft in 2020, has been testing out Recall over the past week and discovered that the feature stores data in a database in plain text.
Holy cats, this is way worse than we were told.
Microsoft said that Recall stored its zillions of screenshots in an encrypted database hidden in a system folder. Turns out, they're using SQLite, a free (public domain) database to store unencrypted plain text in the user's home folder. Which is definitely NOT secure.
Further, Microsoft refers to Recall as an optional experience. But it's turned on by default, and turning it off is a chore. They buried it in a control panel setting.
They say certain URLs and websites can be blacklisted from Recall, but only if you're using Microsoft's Edge browser! But don't worry: DRM protected films & music will never get recorded. Ho ho ho.
This whole debacle feels like an Onion article but it's not.
Luckily(?) Recall is currently only available on Windows 11, but I fully expect Microsoft to try and shove this terrible thing onto unsuspecting Win10 users via Update.
Stay tuned...

ok my only starfield complaint apart from the unoptimisation in some areas is the lack of visual feedback when you're looting stuff?? even just a tiny icon to indicate what type of item you're taking would be so useful 😭
#i do like that there's no menu for looting like skyrim and games that came before bc that was a neat thing in fo4??#but like. i just killed this guy and idk if this item he's carrying is a weapon or misc stuff!!#modern game uis are either hit or miss and it works really well in starfield bc of the context BUT visual feedback is a very important thin#in user experience and its tricky to find a way to implement it sometimes but here!! it'd be so easy to just. add a little icon#and also im terrible at remembering weapon names nd visuals are easier for me to remember weapons but thats a personal issue

trying not to be a geek about this but also EXTREMELY funny that fyodor is so disgusted by atsushi's sniveling because this is the vessel holding byakko. byakko is a guardian, a beautiful tiger that fyodor himself says is the "emotional hearth [of the world]", byakko is the king of beasts and the embodiment of righteousness itself; it's a warrior. it's a celestial being that guards the heavens and is the key to an unfathomable tool of creation, and somehow, it's been residing in the fragile body of a pathetic teenager. i would be pissed the hell off too
atsushi essentially being a vessel for a god (given byakko's entire ordeal with being a celestial being in mythology) is sooo fucking funny and real. thank you for my life asagiri, this is all i need
(also have never seen fyodor emote like that before. no words to describe this chapter besides Peak Cinema)
#bsd 119 spoilers#also very interesting how fyodor says that decapitating atsushi would be more than enough for him#to fulfill both roles of “companion” and “bookmark”#so what exactly happens when atsushi's head is separated from his body?#because trying to extract byakko as an ability only ended terribly on account of shibusawa's experiences#i can only guess it's another case of how abilities disappear when their users die with singularities being an exception#there's so much to think about...... so much to discuss... this chapter was so good... everyone hit the showers

Look, there's a lot to be said about the contemporary gaming industry's preoccupation with graphics performance, but "no video game needs to run at higher than thirty frames per second" – which is something I've seen come up in a couple of recent trending posts – isn't a terribly supportable assertion.
The notion that sixty frames per second ought to be a baseline performance target isn't a modern one. Most NES games ran at sixty frames per second. This was in 1983 – we're talking about a system with two kilobytes of RAM, and even then, sixty frames per second was considered the gold standard. There's a good reason for that, too: if you go much lower, rapidly moving backgrounds start to give a lot of folks eye strain and vertigo. It's genuinely an accessibility problem.
The idea that thirty frames per second is acceptable didn't gain currency until first-generation 3D consoles like the N64, as a compromise to allow more complex character models and environments within the limited capabilities of early 3D GPUs. If you're characterising the 60fps standard as the product of studios pushing shiny graphics over good technical design, historically speaking you've got it precisely backwards: it's actually the 30fps standard that's the product of prioritising flash and spectacle over user experience.

i hope that in the wake of predstrogen/predesterone's back-to-back deletion we don't forget about the ongoing building wave of seemingly organic transmisogyny from the userbase leading up to it, some of which may or may not have been the result of terf psyops but all of which certainly wouldn't have been possible without the eager participation of a significant proportion of users, including but probably not limited to:
the entire concept of transandrophobia (if this offends you, think long and hard about why you want so badly for it to be real)
the ongoing backlash against the terms tme and tma (if they offend you, think long and hard about why they might have practical value to trans women and people with similar social positionality)
the ongoing trend of trans women's blogs getting flagged on the flimsiest of pretenses and generally receiving far more scrutiny for "adult content" than anyone else's
the seeming unironic revival of "baeddel" as a slur for outspoken trans women, on the basis of a long-dead clique that, ironically enough, self-applied the long-dead (and tbf, etymologically questionable) slur from the middle ages to reclaim it
the entire "trans women should be fucking trans men instead of complaining about transmisogyny" genre of post
the backlash when tgirls finally started calling out the aforementioned bullshit
the copypasted anons sent to several trans women (many of whom were lesbians) sexually harassing them and threatening corrective rape for calling out the aforementioned bullshit
the backlash when tgirls called the aforementioned bullshit sexual harassment
the expansion of flexible queer label use (which to be clear, i am generally all for) to include "afab trans women", muddying the waters and making transmisogyny harder to articulate
the backlash when tgirls started calling out the aforementioned bullshit
the aita incident in which a trans woman described a cis woman claiming to be a trans woman in a group chat and giving other trans women terrible medical advice based on no actual qualifications or experience, and got a huge backlash for warning them about the aforementioned bullshit despite the stakes of, you know, following terrible medical advice
everything from the sixth point onward happened within the past... week? two weeks? my sense of time is a bit fuzzy. who knows what the rest of this week has in store?
people on this website are so incredibly hostile to trans women even being able to name our own oppression, let alone resist it in any concrete way. and i know it's not just this website. don't you get tired of the crab bucket bullshit? holy fucking shit.
like, i've been lucky, i've overwhelmingly managed to dodge it (probably on account of frankly being a pretty boring and inconsistent poster). this time last year, i was actually bored that i didn't have anons in my inbox to argue with. but i've seen it happen to so many other women now, it's absurd. even if it never hits you personally, you can never shake the awareness that it's happening to so many of the cool girls on here, people you like and whose posts you laugh at and who you look up to. they just kinda seem to drop like flies over time. don't you get tired?
