- there was a ruckus over soundcloud and AI a week or so ago, and said ruckus was enough to have the CEO come out and explain the now revised terms, *and* they've added an opt-in. always complain loudly press.soundcloud.com/249951-new-c...
- ukgov is reportedly looking to make it longer to settle for people already in the uk, as opposed to "just" those who come here post-rule changes. so if you've moved here since 2020, you may have the goalposts shifted on you. terrible, terrible stuff www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
- fired up "yes" for jovi and the second mcalmont started singing I saw this gif in human form
- starmer saying "settlement is a privilege not a right" is about the third or fourth talking point cribbed directly from right wing places (see also "the size of birmingham every 4 years") like yes thanks keir, nobody applying for ILR to the tune of thousands of pounds was aware of this, amazing
- "The changes will also end automatic settlement in the UK after five years" the way this is expressed, in an article about *visas*, is unbelievable. a £3,029 fee for an application which can be rejected is not "automatic settlement". dismal reporting on dismal changes
- jovi looked worried about the upcoming labour immigration changes and she's already naturalised as british. this is the end result of non-stop hostile policymaking; you could end up as queen of england and still wonder if the home office was about to pull an unhinged gotcha on you
