- Comment on CCTV shows pupils abused and locked in padded room 4 months ago:
Apparently the video was discovered by new managers after the investigation was halted. Which suggests perhaps a less than thorough investigation.

Let me guess, it turned out that the zombies didn’t have any knifes.
- Comment on Is there any truth to this? 5 months ago:
Yes. It enforces a bubble by its very nature. There is no main feeds, by default you see people you follow and posts they interact with. I don’t have a problem with that. I wouldn’t go into a pub with racists, and xenophobes, so I should have to do it online.
Anyway, first thing I did was sign up for a couple of blocks lists, and what saw was awful people.
Also, if you look a the moderation settings, there is a lot of objectional content that is or can be hidden basic of topic flags. This is content that on any sane networks should be banned and the users suspended. But of Bluesky its just hidden from view.
It’s basically a microcosm of the Internet. It’s not the Good Place for sure, and anyone who thinks that is deluded.
- Comment on Where to start? 5 months ago:
TNG from the start, but Iimit yourself to the 4 or 5 best rated episodes from Season 1 and 2. Then crack on with most of 3 and 4. 5 onwards starts to have a few more clunkers but by then you should have a good idea if you like it enough to take a chance.

Well, I have kids. So that 8 hour game will last me a month. Combine that with a 20 year backlog…
- Comment on 'It Has Plateaued': Should We Be Worried About Console Gaming's Future? 5 months ago:
Lol. 90 hours games. Fuck that shit. I’ve never been on board with that nonsense. Give me a decent 8 hour game and stop destroying the lives of your employees with never ending crunch.
- Comment on Apple couldn’t tell fake iPhones from real ones, lost $2.5M to scammers 6 months ago:
“These counterfeit phones, Cohen said, were either out of warranty or contained counterfeit parts, but Apple “wrongly” believed that they were real phones under real warranties”
So not counterfeit. Just real iPhones that were out of warranty or has been repaired by a third party.
- Comment on Amazon will “ramp up” Prime Video ads in 2025 6 months ago:
I just went cold turkey because I can’t/won’t watch content with ads, and already felt the cost of our streaming services was too much for what we get out of it.
What I’ve found myself doing is if I do buy from Amazon and it’s below the free shipping amount, I try and buy from a marketplace seller who ships themselves for free. Often this ends up matching the Prime price, but it’s buried further down the result because it doesn’t have Prime shipping. Or I buy the same product via eBay, which is mostly cheaper. But main thing is, I’ve found I just buy less. Like A LOT less. As a family we’d often get 3 or 4 Amazon deliveries a week. That’s not been replaced with orders from other retailers. It’s almost as if having Prime encourages you to buy stuff you maybe don’t need!

We are halfway through it!

I unsubscribed in January and still have too much stuff to watch. Although that is helped by being in the UK and having iPlayer I guess. I’ve also spent way less on impulse buying crap because of the free shipping. Absolutely do not miss Prime.
