Melissa @melhadf.shite.name · 11hNope, the money from people using right to buy was expressly ringfenced for everything BUT buying/building more social housing stock. 170
Melissa @melhadf.shite.name · 11hWell yeah, that and also me messing up FSTAB. Which I have definitely never messed up before, honest. Everything appears to be stable post deletion. It turns out I can be trusted with FSTAB. 000
Melissa @melhadf.shite.name · 11hIt's been a year since I jumped onto Linux so it's time to delete the windows partition. What could go wrong? 130
Melissa @melhadf.shite.name · 12hYou did object to this right? bsky.app/profile/theg... How are you okay with Labour putting out despicable plans such as these? 120
Melissa @melhadf.shite.name · 16hI try to avoid all "AI" slop as it's a poor substitute for working anything. Sadly the melted brain sloppers seem to love tricking people into using it in any capacity. I ditched windows to get away from the slop, why would I look at a sloppy website/game/pic? 011
Melissa @melhadf.shite.name · 16hI've seen this one before... Labour can even use the same poster as they are pushing the same policies. 020
Melissa @melhadf.shite.name · 01/10/2026Fair, took me a min too and I'm at my PC. Now I look the more cursed the keys get. ASDGG, Win 10 logo (in 96), sloppy letters. 000
Melissa @melhadf.shite.name · 30/09/2026Yeah I noticed how few of my friends knew until pointed to it. Valve need to put it a shorter version in the main page so people know it exists. 110
Melissa @melhadf.shite.name · 30/09/2026The best visibility update from my customer perspective has been the release calendar they introduced a few months back. I hope the algorithm update is in a similar vein. 151

Melissa @melhadf.shite.name · 29/09/2026Not one PoC amongst EG or RPS staff... EG is just a sea of white staff. www.eurogamer.net/authors RPS also doesn't have any female staff on their authors page www.rockpapershotgun.com/authors There are freelancers on both, but that is a gender&race pay disparity compared to being employed. 000

Melissa @melhadf.shite.name · 24/09/2026As a holder of a very old (and spent) criminal record and also changed names a decade+ later, can confirm that it's linked enough for disclosures, DBS, PNC, etc, without me doing anything. If I do a GRC I can even get my name changed on the PNC... but that's the only time I need to be proactive. 050
Melissa @melhadf.shite.name · 20/09/2026I've never seen such a diverse set of ads for a show, OSes, system update notes, smart devices that serves ads. I'd like to think that JKR has poisoned it to such a degree that WB is panicking and throwing ads out like spaghetti on walls. 010
Melissa @melhadf.shite.name · 20/09/2026I have no IOT devices, and my PC is on Linux. And yet the only device I have that I don't fully control (my phone) served an ad for the mould wizard in the system update notes. I don't want ads in my system update, and that goes double for terf shit. 110
Melissa @melhadf.shite.name · 18/09/2026The Stanley Parable did this on release. Every time someone figured out the method for a secret achievement they'd upload a new build with different method. It was funny as anything watching people try and replicate a method that worked earlier honest. 080
Melissa @melhadf.shite.name · 17/09/2026In 2012 it took me slightly less than 2 years from referral to surgery. And now NHS England cannot clear the backlog, and is actively trying to increase it, as well as limit access to external providers/services. 0131

Melissa @melhadf.shite.name · 15/09/2026Not only play how I want, but I might even lower the difficulty to a point I find the game fun. I'm gonna take the "noob weapon" and have fun, rather than worry about a community imposed restriction that I don't care about. 030
Melissa @melhadf.shite.name · 15/09/2026I've noticed that the sites IGN buys get restricted on what reviews they can do/when their reviews can drop... How can RPS and EG not have a Zero Company review? XCOM + Star Wars seems like a slam dunk for them. But only IGN has reviewed it amongst their sites. It's not all games, but noticeable. 000
Melissa @melhadf.shite.name · 15/09/2026Wasted a week trying to solve a multithread race condition on startup, in the end I stuck in a small loading bar that increased by 15%+RNG per second to sidestep the entire race condition. The RNG was added because uniform jumps was "fake loading" but randomness made it look legit. 030
Melissa @melhadf.shite.name · 14/09/2026I came out as trans and my parents took it to mean I instantly forgot all tech related knowledge... despite my work in IT for years. 131
Melissa @melhadf.shite.name · 14/09/2026Lets take it in context then... You want trans Americans to vote against their very existence to save them from another party that is also against their existence. If you had good will, you would be standing with them, not telling them to vote for any party that wants to kill them. 1120

Melissa @melhadf.shite.name · 09/09/2026I've never understood who they are doing it for voting wise, as full fasc supporters will vote for that, and people with a shred of humanity won't. It's like they want to see if they can live out their own power fantasies using us as the guinea pigs... including trying to dispose of us. 100
Melissa @melhadf.shite.name · 09/09/2026Same in the UK. You either stand for equal rights for all and get my vote or don't and I cheer as you fail. There is no "we need to do a little fascism to get power", that's just fascism with extra weaselling, and you deserve nothing but failure for thinking it. 1101

Melissa @melhadf.shite.name · 07/09/2026The Licence Fee funds this PR spin and straight up gaslighting the BBC enjoys to do. Are you happy with that? How much live TV do you actually watch in your house? Would you miss it? 030
Melissa @melhadf.shite.name · 07/09/2026If they attach to streaming like Netflix and Prime then I stop those services. I haven't paid the TV Licence fee in over a decade and am never going to give them another penny. 000
