Something a lot of people are misunderstanding about Windows Recall is that it's not just a thing you can turn off and/or ignore.

Sure, you can disable it. You can avoid Windows 11 completely, run Linux, reinstall Windows 7. All of that.

But here's the thing... other people will be using Recall. Whether intentionally or not, because not everyone has control over their computer hardware (employees, minors, the elderly, the indigent) or some business thinks it's a neat way to spy on their employees.

THOSE people will interact with your facebook/insta/tumblr, read & respond to your emails, process your credit card information, pull up your customer service profile to fix your billing problem, view your appointment schedule at the doctor's office... a thousand use cases where YOUR data is on OTHER PEOPLE'S screens.

And if Recall is running, it'll make a copy of that data.

Okay, so what? Some stranger's computer has my personal information stashed away on it. Big deal.

Except that we live in a world where ransomware & phishing attacks happen all the goddamn time, and it's only a matter of months before somebody's Recall-equipped Windows gets rumbled. Recall databases will get downloaded & sold on the dark web, same as they do now with lists of credit card numbers.

Microsoft really shit the bed this time.

In Techno Branch AU World Tour, if anyone is curious, Branch alerts Trollex during their rave that his sonar equipment is picking up very large and very numerous objects moving towards the reef fast. His traps are slowing them down, but whatever they are they're barreling through them.

Branch showing Trollex this is why Trollex shuts 'One More Time' down in this timeline, and his traps are why Techno Trolls begin to evacuate, as Barb was slowed down and showed up to the party slightly late.

Branch leads the evacuation efforts and is able to get many but not all of the Techno Trolls to safety. Mostly children, the elderly, the sick, the disabled, etc who are most at risk. Branch was going to go back for Trollex but Synth convinced him to stay and he'd go in his place, saying that Branch is a better leader and he's a better scout.

Synth returns and reports that he saw trolls kidnapping all of Techno trolls, and the reef is wrecked. Branch decides he's going to set out to rescue everyone, which is how he ends up setting off.

I like to think he keeps arriving just after Poppy leaves places. Pennywhistle points out to him which way Poppy went, he arrives at Lonesome Flats just in time to see the Country Trolls get taken, he follows the river and runs into Chaz, then bumps into the other bounty hunters. I imagine in this AU Branch allies with Chaz, KPop and Reggaeton. Yes in this AU Chaz isn't as randomly evil as he is in Trollstopia/Remix Rescue.

They try to stop Barb, with a bit more of a fight than in the movie. We'll even let the Snack Pack take advantage of the chaos and help. Kpop and Reggaeton are fighting off Rock Trolls together, Biggie hits someone with a ukelele, Mr. Dinkles corners the one Rock Troll with a fear of worms, Satin and Chenille use their hair to trip people, Legsly gets two people to run at her then stretches up so they hit each other, I don't even need to TELL you what Guy Diamond and Tiny Diamond do, you all already know. Smidge literally just starts punching people and manages to throw a guy into the stands.

Chaz and Branch try to tag team Barb, with Branch using portable turntables to sample Chaz's Jazz so they can hit her with it from both sides. Branch gets zombified and Chaz attempts to overwrite the zombification with Jazz but it only succeeds in stunning Branch and preventing Barb from ordering him around. Poppy has her big epiphany seeing the bounty hunters working together and gives her speech about harmony taking different voices and breaks the strings. Everyone sings and then while everyone is celebrating and Trollex is telling Branch how cool he is, Poppy goes to see him because she realized just who he was.

Ya know, I've made posts about the yandere Batfamily before, and I've been thinking lately about one person in particular, and I think I've decided that Alfred is probably the most dangerous and formidable person in that entire house and have been brainstorming what a formidable platonic yandere guardian sorta figure he would be

For one, he's the man that canonically kept THE Batman from going over the edge, basically THE sole reason Bruce Wayne grew into the man he is. Literally, in alternate universes where Bruce never had Alfred, he literally 9 times out of 10 becomes a murdering sociopath. Alfred doesn't just have intelligence, he has EMOTIONAL intelligence

We're talking about the tenured elderly man who is former MI6 and doesn't give a fuck about murder, has killed, and will kill again. Bruce finds someone attacking you, he'll beat them up and cart them off to jail to be arrested and rehabilitated. Alfred will pull a pistol on a robber and shoot him dead before he allows you to get even a single scratch on you, just puts the guy down, "oh dear, I suppose I'll be late making dinner tonight, it seems I'll have to give testimony to Mr Gordon again"

I've seen fics where the sidekicks kidnap Reader or disable them for Bruce's sake, but don't you think Bruce himself would cross that line for Alfred? This man cooks, cleans, does everything for him, is practically a second father and his greatest friend, really kind of RAISED HIM. I just picture Alfred getting attached to Reader like you're practically his grandchild and then you return to your normal life, move out after staying them for a period of time or whatever, and Bruce can tell Alfred is... out of sorts, a little sad frown on his old withered face as he absent-mindedly sweeps the same corner of the same room for an hour, sighing, thinking about how he wanted to teach you all sorts of things, but, you're just gone now. Siiiiiiiiigh. And Bruce can't stand seeing Alfred like, actually depressed, even making mistakes he doesn't usually make, dropping things, lacking his usual playful sarcastic wit, just kind of a shell of his former self. You don't think you'd be getting an extra super special Uber ride in the Batmobile from the Dark Knight himself after that?

But I also think Alfred would be capable of really putting his foot down. He once told a disrespectful Damian he should be thankful Alfred wasn't his father in a very "because I'd actually discipline you" coded sort of way, and, say Reader grew up without a dad, or any parents and maybe has some traumas and potential behavioral issues from that. I could see Alfred being the kindest, sweetest, most patient grandpa, teaching you how to bake, keeping you company in the library, teaching you all kinds of things, and then the second you do things like start getting drunk, acting out, THROWING things, then he's putting his foot down, "now you listen HERE! Your behavior is absolutely unacceptable and you will not be allowed to degrade yourself within the walls of this home!" and manages to simultaneously scold you without putting you down, leaving you in ashamed embarrassed tears over your behavior that you're standing there crying, and he pulls you to take a seat in a nice chair and starts combing your hair and telling you he just wants best for you while you're bawling for his forgiveness, and he tells you he's already forgiven you and that he can run you a nice bath before bed

I can see a captive Reader scenario where you manage to break out of the house while everyone else is gone and you think, oh, you're home free! Batman and everyone else is busy! Lost in your own hubris as if Alfred doesn't have perfect knowledge of everything in the Batcave including the equipment and vehicles. You're in an alley cornered by a bunch of drunks who just want to beat the shit out of someone and suddenly, is that Batman? Wait, the costume is different, and the height, and, the body shape, and, and, and it doesn't even matter because Alfred can still lay all of them flat, blood on his knuckles as he wearily regards you, "you're not going to make a tired old man have to carry you to the car, are you?" and after what you just saw, you know better than to put up resistance

But like I can't get over the idea of, Reader staying at the Wayne residence for a limited period of time, you're injured and Bruce is offering you safe harbor, you're being targeted by a specific criminal group and need protection until the thugs are caught, something along those lines, and, one day, when everything is better, you just. Leave unexpectedly. They had already offered you a permanant place in the house but you still seem to be falling into a depression until one day you're straight up gone, only leaving a note that Alfred is the one to find, only 3 word, "Thank you. Sorry." and hr suddenly??? Can't think straight??? You're gone??? Why??? Why didn't you tell them?? Are you hurt?? Did they do something wrong??? How is he supposed to know if you're sad or if you're hungry or if you're in DANGER if he doesn't know where you are and what you're doing at all possible hours?

Just visualizing the idea of Bruce coming home one day and you're suddenly in the house again and you're seeming very much distressed but Alfred is looking fit as a fiddle again and it is very extremely incredibly obvious to Bruce that Alfred straight up brought you back against your will. But. He doesn't care because he agrees with Alfred that OBVIOUSLY since you're a member of the FAMILY NOW that OF COURSE you have to stay in the house

Can you imagine yandere Alfred but Bruce and everyone else is just, totally normal and just hardcore mega coping with Alfred's sudden change in behavior and occasional questionable actions. One day Alfred is dusting and without turning around, "Master Bruce, would you care to fetch my granddaughter for me while i finish this room?" and Bruce is just like "granddaughter????" And Alfred looks to him like he just said something BEYOND stupid, "Yes, my granddaughter, about ye high, awfully broody much like yourself, currently housed in the spare second floor bedroom at the end of the hall on the right? You act as if she didnt help bake that casserole you and the boys absolutely devoured last night"

Nightwing going down into the Batcave for like actual mission stuff and Alfred is already using the Batcomputer to monitor all your online internet use. What's that, some young man is trying to slide into your DMs? O-oh no, there was, uh, suddenly a glitch and he received a threatening message with no traceable source that told him to stay the bloody hell away from you! Whoops!

You're just his captive little grandchild who he helps teach recipes to and teaching you anything you're curious about. You make an offhanded comment one day that you would've loved to learn to play piano "but I'm too old now/it's too late now/I probably wouldn't be any good at it" and later on, after Alfred has brought you back after trying to live alone again (you being drugged if need be), and when you wake up he's all smiles, telling you about all the new structure he's about to introduce to your life, and, of course, you have to pick a day of the week for your new (now mandatory) piano lessons :) on Mondays you'll go for walks and have tea in the garden, Tuesdays you'll read in the library, on Wednesdays you'll learn piano, on Thursday he'll teach you a new recipe every week, Friday--- this old man is gonna force you to be productive and happy is all I'm gonna say

Ways For US-Americans To Help If You're Abstaining From Voting

Can't vote on moral grounds, but still raring to do something? Stuck in America and unsure of how to meaningfully serve your community? Here are some ideas that I, a social worker serving house-bound citizens, can share out of personal experience. Feel free to add other ideas or links. We are not powerless.

Volunteer (these are just examples/sources of info)

Planned Parenthood needs volunteers for nearly every non-medical department

See if your state has a volunteer stewardship program, where you can help weed out invasive plant species and defend your natural ecosystem

If you have medical skills, become a street medic

Contribute to the preservation of Queer History

Put your labor towards the upkeep or repair of properties in Indigenous communities

Adult literacy is not great right now, and we're harder to lie to if we're literate; volunteer to help your neighbors who were failed by the school system

Resources to help the unhoused constantly need volunteer counselors, cooks, and someone to sort donations

The sick and elderly are very under-served, particularly if they're broke, so reach out to a local hospice to see what skills they need

Give (if you can't physically volunteer but have money to spare)

Donate to an abortion fund; this one is for Native peoples specifically

Donate to a book gifting program or book mobile; this link is for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library

Donate to preserve the histories of communities of color; this fund is specifically for preserving African American historical sites

Donate to protect the natural environment

Donate to help free those caged in prisons; this link is for the Innocence Project, which aims to challenge wrongful convictions

The arts are for everyone, but wealth gaps interfere; this fund is for art initiatives that contribute to community building, including increasing accessibility

Learn (resources that many communities have but aren't widely educated on)

Community Action Agencies: these are non-profits and private companies that act in service of their communities' human rights and quality of life. Many have utility funds, run food banks, manage emergency shelters, provide education and job skills opportunities, and participate in social activism.

Area Agencies on Aging: Non-profits that serve elders (and non-elderly disabled citizens) in a designated service area. They primarily offer services to prolong independent living (free or low cost in home care, meals on wheels, home safety modifications, and Medicare guidance) or help with transition into assisted living.

Habitat For Humanity: They aren't just in disaster zones or on foreign soil; they have local US chapters that provide critical repairs to families in need. They repair roofs, address barriers to access, and perform electric and plumbing work.

Durable Medical Equipment Loan Closets: Communal sources of vital medical equipment including wheelchairs, walkers, canes, hospital beds, shower chairs, and more. May be able to provide incontinence supplies or diabetes supplies. Rarely but sometimes provide oxygen.

Non Emergency Medical Transportation/Alternatives to Mass Transit: Transportation for elderly, disabled, cognitively impaired, and low income citizens to help them reach medical providers, dental care, physical therapy, and eye exam appointments. Can also provide transit to shopping centers, the grocery store, religious events, cultural events, and polling stations. Offer door to door services for the housebound. IF YOU HAVE MEDICAID, YOU SHOULD NOT EVER BE PAYING FOR THIS. MEDICAID IS OBLIGATED TO MAKE SURE YOU REACH ANY AND ALL MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS.

Legal Aid Clinics: Sources of pro-bono or sliding scale legal advice and representation.

So, in Brazilian architecture, urbanism, and politics news, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva issued a decree to prohibit the use of materials, structures, equipment, and hostile construction techniques in open spaces for public use that have as their objective or result the removal of homeless people, elderly people, young people, children, people with disabilities, and other segments of the population.

The decree regulates item XX of the caput of art. 2nd of Law No. 10,257, of July 10, 2001, previously included by Law No. 14,489, of 2022, the Padre Júlio Lancellotti Law, named in honour of a priest who is a famous activist against hostile architecture.

Here's the reality of obesity, and what they don't talk about in the "fat acceptance" movement. It's not even that you've chosen to shorten your life and have negative health outcomes for yourself. You've chosen to make yourself a liability, a liability that can kill the people around you, whether it's an evacuation in a building, a medical emergency, or your kid's stroller rolling into traffic, you aren't equipped to help anyone around you. You're going to have to get help most of the time, whether it's children, the elderly, the disabled you aren't there for them when you could be. You won't grow old to baby-sit your grandkids, you won't be able to hold them up and carry them around the zoo. You can't help a hurt person out of a car wreck. You can't restrain a dog that snaps at a child. You have opted yourself out being an asset in an emergency or of physically assisting the people around you. You expect your homes, cars, offices, restaurants, food, and stores to be built, maintained, stocked, and staffed but it could never all be done by a world of people like you. You rely on everyone else to make you comfortable, you're an aberration of 1st world comfort, and "accepting" that the majority of people can and should be obese consigns us to a state of dependency and decay. A standard in which the diminishing class of the able-bodied are made to provide for the disabled-by-choice at the expense of the truly disabled, the elderly, the children that really need all of us.

I have finally decided to put my knowledge as a occupational therapist in training to good use and made a little comic about some ADL (activities of daily life) things!

The little cutting aid Leo is using in the last panel is a cutting board with an extra board that has spikes on it. The spikes can be used to impale something, an apple in this case, so its easier to cut it apart with one hand! Also the cutting board has little anti-slippery thingies under it so it doesnt move around while trying to cut something. There are so many things that people without disabilities take for granted, me as well, that we would never notice!

This is @intotheelliwoods Little poptart btw! He is great for demonstration purposes since he only has one arm and also is a little guy and i love him <33

Those cutting boards with spike and anti-slipping aids also exist in real life and are used by people who have problems with motor functions in their hands or are missing an arm/hand alltogether! You can also put toast on it if you wanna spread butter on it or other things to cut apart.

I think anything that can educate and empower a person to be more self confident, self sufficient and independent in what they do is important and more people should have access to aids like these if they need it!

Im gonna link an english website that I found (i apologize for lack of ressources, i am german and mostly only have german one sbdhwbch) and if anyone wants to, feel free to add your own ressources as well! Also if you know that these websites might be shit, also feel free to tell me *insert keysmash* (though unfortunately these can get so fucking expensive, though we learn in our training as well how to make lots of these aids from scratch for our clients!)

something i’ve been thinking about recently is the disability movement and its stringent focus on disability being something that doesn’t need correction. ie: cochlear implants bad. i understand the frustration with disabled people being considered broken people who need fixing (wrong) but what i don’t understand is the mostly young and/or mostly those who are born disabled valuing the community over cure. i think this sort of leaves out a massive chunk of disabled people: the elderly. i work with elderly disabled people every single day. the number of post-stroke patients i have seen made homeless by their disability is disheartening. and you can argue that is a product of a poor system, but even with endless supplies of equipment some of these people (some as young as their 50s and 60s) end up in long term care. this is a societal problem as a whole, but one that we won’t fix in the next two, three, four, ten decades. these older people are find themselves suddenly disabled are very nearly silenced by a community who is supposed to be accepting them. these people do not want to be disabled and it’s not generally due to a negative view of disability but to the knowledge that they are in the last few years of their lives and suddenly they are alone. suddenly a 90yo cannot move her arm anymore. suddenly a 60yo cannot work anymore (and thus support himself or his elderly mother, of whom he is a caregiver). i am disabled in many ways, so i understand the knee jerk reaction to vehemently oppose anything that even inadvertently frames me as someone who needs to be “cured”, but my 60yo meningitis patient who is suddenly deaf and flaccid on one side of her body may not agree. and she’s just as disabled and just as valid — and if she wants a cure then i think that’s ok. obviously this is nuanced and there are legitimate questionable circumstances in which “curing” a disability is icky (see: babies whose parents subject them to cochlear implants before they’re old enough to give consent) but my point still stands. i think we leave these people in the dust.

I have compassion for the struggle of getting access to the services you need, but blaming other disabled people and accusing them of pretending is incredibly shitty. it is not other disabled folks fault that the aide service is poorly equipped to handle an many people applying for aid. This is the goverments fault. They want it to be as hard as possible for disabled people to access care and support.

THIS IS A SYSTEMATIC ISSUE, NOT AN INDIVIDUAL ONE.

Saying that people are playing up their disability or pretending to have a worse is a line of ableist argumentation that has been used to shut down wellfare and disabled care n services for decades. Your anger should be going to the government.

For further reading on this, Beyond Ramps by Marta Russell is free to read and outlines this in incredible detail.

Get some fucking perspective. I cannot believe you ignored the "here is a place to read about how fraud waste and abuse made me unable to access care" and just went to "ooh you're shitty because you're upset that your elderly mother in law had to pick up the government's slack for a year and a half"

Robovie R3UNR (2010) by Tomotaka Takahashi (Robo-Garage), ATR, and Vstone. The R3UNR has the same underlying mechanics as the R3, with a stylish exterior design by robot creator Tomotaka Takahashi of Robo-Garage. The Robovie R3UNR is designed to assist elderly and disabled individuals. "This robot is not limited to assisting, though; it also serves as a tour guide equipped with facts and trivia about local Japanese landmarks and Japanese culture. Robovie R3UNR was demonstrated at the Nara City Tourist Information Office Complex."
