We've published a new legal opinion, raising questions over the legality of the use of AI tools in the UK asylum system.

Applicants aren't being informed of their use by decision-makers, nor being given the opportunity to correct errors that might be made in AI generated summaries.

Home Office use of AI in asylum cases likely to be unlawful, legal opinion finds

The Home Office’s failure to inform asylum applicants that AI tools are being used in their assessments is likely to be unlawful, according to a legal opinion, published today.

@wyatt The thing that baffles me the most is the pricing situation. Sometimes I can literally buy a physical copy of an old game I always wanted to play but never had the opportunity to, on a videogame console I still own, at a price not so far off of modern triple A games.
funny how nothing ever changes

i will once again suggest not buying new video games and just finding more old games to play. there's like 50+ years to choose from, at least 20-30 of them good… you seriously don't need to play the shiny new ones every year they come out.

And if you don't take a goddamn stand, shit like DLSS5 is just going to keep being shoved down peoples' throats and engines are going to start requiring shit like that
500MHz pentium 3 (katmai) putting up a valiant effort. it does surprisingly well, honestly, with a flash it was never meant to play

I sold two prints today.

That might not seem like a lot. But for me it was. It was a very good day.

The purchaser was a patron who’d discovered me locally at my booth, and later found me online to buy even more greeting cards over the last year.

That’s the goal, right?

But this was different: he bought prints. Because his family likes my work.

Prints aren’t practical. They’re not cards that get mailed to another person, or calendars that help you keep track of days, or notepads upon which you write lists.

When I started doing art as a career I never let myself believe my work had a place outside the practical. I was scared, and didn’t want to do pieces that couldn’t be used simultaneously as an asset for something utilitarian, because it was the functional aspect of the item that would help sell my art. I wanted to play it smart.

But this last year has been… eye-opening. I’ve sold more prints than I ever thought I would. It's allowed me to see things from a different perspective. It has been deeply validating, given me permission to be brave, and negated a lot of my deeply ingrained fears.

So today meant something to me. An older gentleman, who loved my work so much that his multiple purchases of greeting cards weren’t cutting it, believed in me enough to go to the next step and buy something from me simply because he likes it, not because it was useful.

That makes me feel really good. So it's been a good day.

i like gentoo
not just the os but the community
it's mostly older guys but it couldn't be further from the techbro circlejerk these spaces usually turn into
the philosophy of the os is every configuration is encouraged and supported no matter how much it deviates from defaults or from the mainstream
this translates into how humans are treated
gentoo people actually genuinely care, about ethics, about diversity, about people's niche use cases, many of them use older hardware and make sure it stays supported, there's a class aspect to that too you know
New blog post! A what-if scenario where we try to see how a home computer designer might've dealt with the field-sequential color television, had the Korean War not stopped that standards' rollout. Enjoy! https://nicole.express/2026/the-apple-that-wasnt.html

I knew putting the SIM away from smartphones was the right idea. I have to tether the mobile network to my computer for reasons, and in less than 3 days my ADHD is already lost in the abyss of our screenful rectangles of attention catching.

AND that's with a very well curated set of restricted push notifications and apps. I'm just trying to do my daily session of vocabulary practice man PLEASE have mercy 😭

This has stalled, please help if you can.

The second half of the month’s expenses and essential bills is here. More due as of 4 days ago.

Please help us keep a roof over our heads, and keep our cat with us. I’ve had him for nearly 20 years and he really needs me in this phase of his life.
