There's something about a thick Scottish accent that requires a translator for me. (West coast, Canadian)
Luckily the few I watch on youtube add subtitles for the rest of us.

This is so fucking true.
I feel awful when I forget something someone told me, or even simple things like names; but I have very little control over it. I perform memory exercises and try to write important things down; but that's not always practical or effective.
Making me feel worse doesn't fix my memory being shit; it just strains relationships even more. Be kind. We're trying.
Encoding the malicious url in base64 is certainly an interesting trick.
I bet that drives the success rate up quite a bit...
Fl*rida just made it a misdemeanor to cover your license plate with materials that prevent those fucking Flock cameras from scanning it
That's not even remotely new. It's been illegal to cover a licence plate with anything that obstructs it being read, manually or otherwise, for as long as we've had licence plates.
They may have tweaked the language a little here and there; but that law has always been around in some form.
Considering the articles point on how pretty much everyone only focuses on the altruism; it's a really nice contrast.
Excuuuse me Mr. Beaver, but did you get a license for your existance?!?
Rough day to be a snake...
I have the same issue with Immich on android. It pretty much never uploads files until I manually open the app; then the app refuses to acknowledge it has uploaded those new files until it's closed and re-opened :( (power saving is set to un-restricted in android, and background data usage is allowed. I've been through troubleshooting very thoroughly, it just doesn't work)
FolderSync has been the only reliable (non-root) backup solution I've used. It's set to monitor my image folders for changes and upload any new files as soon as they're created; this works ~85% of the time. Then, It's also set with a few schedules to check for changes every 3hrs, backing up everything on the phone the app can access; this catches anything the on-change/on-creation file detection misses, while also backing up more data than just my images. I have yet to see that fail after ~3 years.
Just to clarify a little bit (I was a little confused myself):
Postal was developed by the studio Goonswarm. The publisher Running With Scissors cancelled their games release because of the AI claims, and in response the developers have closed their studio, probably due to the financial strain of having your game completely cancelled by your publisher.
"After revealing POSTAL: Bullet Paradise, a title Running With Scissors was planning on publishing but not developing, we've been overwhelmed with negative responses from our concerned POSTAL Community," reads a statement from Running With Scissors founder Vince Desi, emailed to RPS this afternoon. "The strong feedback from them is that elements of the game are very likely AI-generated and thus has caused extreme damage to our brand and our company reputation.
"We've always been, and will always be, transparent with our community," Desi continues. "Our trust in the development team is broken; therefore, we've killed the project. We have a lot of good things coming (some you know and some you don't).
"Since forming Running With Scissors in 1996, we've always said that our fans are part of the team," it concludes. "Our priority is to always do right by the millions who support the POSTAL franchise. We are grateful for the opportunity to make the games we want to play, and will continue to focus on our new projects and updates coming in 2026 and beyond. We can't wait to share more!"
Postal: Bullet Paradise was once "a timeline-hopping, dystopian bullet heaven first-person shooter with POSTAL's signature darkly humorous personality". The project is "no longer available" on Steam, though it still has a page as of writing.
Desi's statement doesn't mention which elements of the game may have been AI-generated, or whether they've taken any steps to confirm this with Goonswarm.
It seems like the publisher hasn't done much to work with the devs, finding the true story instead of reacting to knee-jerk public opinions, and has just pulled the rug out from under them to protect themselves instead.
The devs have adamantly insisted there is no AI in their work; and if true, this really really sucks.
I'm not going to inflict life on two innocent souls; particularly not for selfish reasons like 'I don't want to clean up after myself'.
They're only required to read you your rights if they plan on questioning you AND submitting your answers as evidence in court.
If they don't ask you any questions, but you chose to speak entirely on your own. Those words can be used against you.
If they do ask you questions but haven't informed you of your rights; your answers/statements become inadmissible in court.
I'm not sure that's going to do it; gonna have to add 76g of sugar to make sure.
