@thatprivacyguy ... so wait, all those sites that detect adblock and don't let you do anything are basically breaking Irish law?

Today I filed a formal complaint against #YouTube with the Irish Data Protection Commissioner for their illegal deployment of #adblock detection technologies.

Under Article 5(3) of 2002/58/EC YouTube are legally obligated to obtain consent before storing or accessing information already stored on an end user's terminal equipment unless it is strictly necessary for the provisions of the requested service.

In 2016 the EU Commission confirmed in writing that adblock detection requires consent.

I'm your sleep enabling demon

I appear in the middle of the night, tuck you in, then hide under the bed in case you need a glass of water fetching at any point

Didn't even realise when (last 10 playtime hours or so?), but I am now a 'Trusted User' on VRChat.

Terrible mistake.

Kinda feel bad that I've not had the energy to draw anything autumn or spooky themed this year.
But! Here's a couple of pics I did a few months back, that kinda on-theme for the season :)
Thanks to @Beckydog for letting me use her as the subject of the sweater pic.

@sudoaptgetlife Unfortunately nothing speedrun related. I know the game like the back of my hand but the runs use a specific route and that doesn't appear to be written down anywhere on the web.

It wasn't a huge deal to make my own notes, was just a surprise that I couldn't find anything other than videos.

Having a hard time finding a written guide/route notes for of (1998) Leon A; they're all like three to four hour long video guides. I suspect the discords have written guides but I don't want to join yet another discord just yet.

So I'm just watching a run and making my own notes!

(PS the video guides look good but it's hard for my ADHD brain to focus on them, that's why I'm looking for written notes)

New flare gun chest attachment. Finished in time for MCM London

Oh wow, Neil Newbon who plays Astarion in Baldur's Gate 3 was James the waiter in the classic Goodness Gracious Me sketch, "going for an english".

Just re-read this.

Regulators of implanted medical technology should be demanding that all source code, design docs and other technical material be lodged in escrow.

If the company ceases to make support available, make it all public.

It's one thing for movies or TV shows or video games to disappear "into the vault", but prioritising protection of completely unused IP rights over the the health and wellbeing of patients is criminal.

@darac I technically just need to shave an hour off my time and then I'll be near the bottom of the leaderboard ^^

Starting to think that maybe I could speedrun RE2? Sure the top ranks are two hours shorter than this, but getting on the leaderboard at all would be pretty cool.

Decided that I'm gonna take a name that is Norse, but also common in Britain, as my middle name; "Astrid" 💜

I've been thinking a lot about changing my surname too as I really don't like my current one and I don't feel any attachment to it.

I've thought about something Nordic/Viking, as that is part of my cultural heritage (growing up in the part of Britain that was Danelaw centuries ago) but ugh the way that the right has co-opted a lot of Norse stuff is making me conflicted.
