Amazing news out of the UK!
@owa has the details, but TL;DR: Apple's attempts to block iOS browser competition on hilariously thin grounds (essentially "you didn't regulate us soon enough!") just took a huge hit:
https://open-web-advocacy.org/blog/apple-loses-on-appeal/
Expect Apple to appeal the appeal because delay is their strategy any time regulators find that their rent-extracting, anti-competitive nonsense is...er, nonsense (browsers, right-to-repair, charging cables, etc.)

I guess maybe I'll keep it as is??? because my other choices are either adding a bunch of extra functionality to the 12bit repo software Or finding something else entirely to run it on and neither of those seem that attractive at the moment. idk
i should probably at least create a more definitive separation between this being for consoles and 12bit repo being for carts though

hot take but i think ISPs should return to giving every user a couple hundred megs of space on a public facing web server & encourage them to build little homepages. the corporatization of the web really hit overdrive when the persistent web presence of the average user stopped being a bunch of handwritten HTML and random files they wanted to share and instead became a profile template on a social media site
I ordered a large amount of Indian food and instead of attempting to shove it all into my face in one sitting I have refrigerated some of it for tomorrow. That's what you call growth

A new Plex feature shows you what your friends and family are watching, horrifies users:
"one of my friends is apparently watching a ton of cheesy, soft porn stuff"
"Discover Together and Week in Review emails are a MASSIVE breach of privacy and trust!"
"I just got an email about a friend’s watching habits which he definitely didn’t want to share."
"a certain percentage of people want to know what kind of porn grandma likes, but I’m hoping it’s not the majority"
Really haven't been keeping up with new Pokemon aside from the ones that are cute and/or sexy enough to be featured in artworks on my various timelines so every so often I get taken totally by surprise by something like this
When the fuck did this happen

"You wouldn’t bully a lion would you?" ScotlandCold on Twitter did a random draw over and AAAAAA~
can't decide whether to keep this thing http://notes.12bit.club/ as a mediawiki or migrate it to something more lightweight/custom like what i have at http://repo.12bit.club/
its just a place where i post pics and info about random consoles i have & that shouldn't really need all the overhead of a full ass collaborative wiki software but i do find many of its features useful even for that purpose

“I am so distressed by people who call themselves ‘radical feminists’ but are anti-trans. I could weep. I don’t get it. It’s beyond me,” she says. “When the feminist movement started in the 60s and 70s, lesbians were often excluded, because we were told that we would make the movement less palatable. I have been excluded myself, so how could I do that to someone else? It fills me with rage.”
