I think the worst I watched was someone speaking for 5-10 minutes about their bitter divorce before getting to the subject matter.

Connect is pretty generic and used in a million other places. There is no spelling variation unused.

SocCenter is worse then Friendica to my ears.

Open Doors sounds like a suicide prevention group.

Maybe it needs an acronym of some sort instead…

“Erotica with Friends” may pigeonhole it a bit. It’ll become every other “friend” making app full of dick pics.

Let’s just call it Make Important Life Friends and leave it as an acronym.

… okay, but the article and image are Kotaku’s…

New laws allowing the Department for Work and Pensions to monitor the bank accounts of benefit claimants are predicted to lead to 7,400 extra prosecutions for fraud each year – resulting in 250 custodial sentences. (www.publictechnology.net)

Impact assessment forecasts that prosecutions will rocket, but claims staff will take ‘account of circumstances and vulnerabilities’ of benefit recipients and ‘no automatic decisions will be made on data alone’...

I’m sure that this won’t primarily impact the most vulnerable in society, whilst the fraction of actual fraudsters just change tact. I’m also sure that’s not the point of this legislation.

How to Geek basically wants to whitelist the internet in order to get to their bloody site. Which is a shame as I like their content.

    Sadness.

    Why is youtube recommending conservative "talking points" to me?

    Hi, I am a guy in early thirties with a wife and two kids and whenever I go on youtube it always suggests conservative things like guys dunking on women, ben shapiro reacting to some bullshit, joe rogan, all the works. I almost never allow it to go to that type of video and when I do it is either by accident or by curiosity. My...

    I almost never allow it

    The times you do allow it are all the algorithm cares about, sadly. Any kind of engagement is great for companies.

    I am in a gym at this very moment. No I do not.

    given how little one vote matter, it seems to me that stripping felons of their right to vote is both petty and counterproductive if the point was to reform them into civic minded individuals ?

    Also, seems kind of scary that this implies a future where so many people are in prison that their vote could actually tip the balance ?

    “/s”…? You just lost the right to vote.

    If I’m not asleep by a certain time of night, “hour of the wolf”, then I find it very hard to sleep without something in the background. Usually I use the sound of a babbling brook that I recorded while in Iceland.

    Speaking for the UK, that’s every financial institution. The whole point is that everyone is required to complete checks to make sure you are who you say you are, if you refuse them then that is an indicator of money laundering. Even just receiving and returning money helps a money launderer establish a paper trail and assists in layering to legitimise the money they gave you. That’s a big no-no, obviously, so it can’t simply be returned without risking significant legal implications from the regulator. All expectations are set up front on this when beginning transactions.

    Okay, do you work in the UK financial services industry, or an associated regulatory body? Because this was an infrequent circumstance that came as a result of the inattentiveness and belligerence of specific customers. There’s no industry wide issue and this was whilst working for one of the largest investment platforms in the UK.

    If you don’t like how things work, then that’s fine, but it was working as intended and would have been no issue if the client had just followed the required, and explained, process. I feel it goes without saying that it is very important to maintain anti-money laundering processes in our financial systems, both legally and conceptually.

    ChaoticEntropy,

    If you receive money without verification and return it no questions asked, then you are opening yourself up as an avenue by which people can launder money. Every receipt and retransfer of that money legitimises that money further and makes you party to the crime. The money is in limbo and can be returned as soon as the regulatory needs are met, but to do otherwise just voids the whole process.

    At this point they are depriving themselves of the money by refusing to verify themselves, it’s a basic identify and address check. This is an investment company, they weren’t sending us their rent money, they wanted to invest it. They were just pissed that we expected them to follow the same process that every client needs to follow when investing.

    Working in a financial call centre, a certain type of person considered us to have stolen their money if they sent us an funds for an investment and refused to send anti-money laundering documents with it, because we also couldn’t return the money without them. Sorry, buddy.

    Not sure that this is a universally available hotkey for rotating screens. Certainly doesn’t work on my laptop.

    Alt + F4 works though.

    If you have fixed desks, put a piece of sticky note over the laser on their mouse. That or use the monitor settings to rotate their screen 180 degrees when they aren’t around.
