Sony: Physical discs are now obsolete. The Future of Gaming is digital-only. Me: Ok, I picked up this second-hand PlayStation Classic that you threw out for Christmas 2018, installed Project Eris on it, and filled it up with PS1 ROMs Sony: no not like that

@fluttergirly@chitter.xyz It goes without saying, this is entirely the fault of TERFs and their fascist allies, who restate the gender essentialism of women being physically inferior to men to justify the exclusion of trans women from sports

The UK Government has launched a public consultation which is seeking views on whether to ban children from using social media. This consultation will run until 26 May 2026.

It is highly likely that later this year, the establishment will attempt to introduce legislation which forces social media platforms (potentially including Mastodon) and VPNs to verify the age of their users. Therefore, this consultation is likely to be the only opportunity we will have to push back against these authoritarian measures.

Please take the time to read the consultation and answer the questions (especially if you are the parent or carer of a young person):

@svat@mathstodon.xyz You can learn a lot about England's celebration of failure by their relationship with football. Most football teams go for years, if not decades, without winning any trophies, and those which do will inevitably fail to defend their titles next season. They'll spend millions buying superstar players/managers who immediately flop or become seriously injured for months. Fans will watch their favourite teams lose every single weekend, but would rather die than switch to a better team. Millions play Fantasy Premier League, a game about making bad decisions and picking players who inevitably fail to score or keep clean sheets for as long as they're in your team. Meanwhile, the national men's team has not won a major international title for nearly 60 years and our most popular football song is explicitly about how they've failed to win the World Cup since then. To quote Frank Skinner: "Being a football fan 90% of the time is about losing. Most of being a football fan is disappointment"

If you're a UK citizen, please write to your MP about this (yes, even if they're a Tory). Tell them how this legislation is smothering independent communities and free expression. Explain how age verification will not protect children effectively and instead puts British citizens at risk of identity theft. Point out how overseas websites are now geoblocking UK IP addresses, isolating us from the rest of the world. https://www.writetothem.com/
