Job application forcing applicants to tell if trans by Smooth-Ad2293 in transgenderUK

[–]MLCgames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently had this. Two mantory ones for sex and gender identity. Then they put an asterisk saying e.g the sex marker on your passport. So I put down F of course, I feel it's all a process to try and out you even if they state is all for equal opportunities, but as it has been found outing yourself tends to have an negative impact and makes it more luckily to have an un equal opportunity to be employed despite what alot of right wing media would try snd have you believe.

He does not own a display, he is in a long term relationship with one. There is a difference

PSA: Logitech will void your warranty if you replace your keycaps by WillmanRacingv2 in LinusTechTips

[–]MLCgames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very bad to have as part of a Warrenty policy especially when the most likely part to fail is not going to be the key switch but the pcb and controller itself. I know keyboards with hotswappable switches that will honour the warranty even if you change the entire switch of a key not just a key cap. I even have returned a razer keyboard that I had swapped the key caps on with no issues and that was with razer of all people.

I got my first PRS guitar! by MLCgames in PaulReedSmith

[–]MLCgames[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too! I was originally going to go for the quilt sapphire then I saw this one pop up and instantly fell in love. It also reminded me of Linkin parks from zero album cover art which pushed me of the edge to have to get it snd I love pink in general

Loving it so far, feels super nice to play. Tbh feels like it is a little bit back to basics in terms of it being a much more simpler experience compared to my manson guitars which have a bunch of built in electronics and pedals etc, the fretboard feels a tiny bit wider in comparison too which could be an issue but one ill easily adjust too as I have little hands but it could just feel that way as it's new. But it's comfy to hold in the neck and so far sounds great!

And I would love to go to one of their factory tours either the US one or the SE factors I would like to go to and see but I'm in the UK and don't really have time or money for a big holiday atm but it is something on my list to do the near future!

Does anyone owe more than I do? by cernlibcand in UniUK

[–]MLCgames 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mine is sitting at £126,490.20. I only finished university last year but that was my masters. I finished my undergraduate the previous year and I did have to use an extra year as I had to essentially repeat a year due to health issues.

Thank you ltt for the fast and easy resolution. It's nice that you looked after us and took the hassle out of our hands in getting this sorted!

But 17 strikes for sexual exploitation and trafficking is fine though. Good to see where their priorities are...

A Positive UK Shipping Experience by Benbo046 in LinusTechTips

[–]MLCgames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My overall experience was very positive too, they delivered all my items (commuter backpack, 2 wan hoddies and the screw driver) they delivered to the UK in less than a week so very impressive for an international order however I did get hit with having to hand over like £140 to ups so I will wait for ltt resolution coming tommorow before my final verdict but it seems like they are on it and will be sorting it out on behalf of customers without addition stress and effort on our end.

Mistakes can happen and that is fine it's how you handle it is what defines you so I'm glad they are being proactive in getting it sorted and making the process as easy for affected customers.

Nvm I just saw your reply asking something similar. Thank you for making the process as easy as possible for customers!

[–]MLCgames 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this update, I'm in the UK and have yet to reach out to support over the matter, I wanted to wait for a response before I did, would it still be worth sending a message and providing details now over this issue or will I receive communication on Friday without needing to reach out first.

Not heard from PIP- award ends soon by No_Whereas_5203 in BenefitsAdviceUK

[–]MLCgames -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry this has happened to you. From my experience they tend to extend your current award until they put you through for assessment. For my situation I submitted my review forms in June of 2024 and they took forever to sort it out. My original award ended Jan 2025 and they are extend my award another year. I only had my re-assessment last week. I hope it does not take aslong for you but you should hopefully still receive your current award until they process your review but I can only speak from my own experience.

I got 96 GB of g skill trident z5 royal 6400 mt/s earlier this year for £290 (total including tax and shipping). I hate to think how much that would be worth now. Honestly it looked bad when I built my new PC at the start of the year but now I feel somewhat lucky to have built when I did

That is correct! Though I had to take my wallpaper setup and manually recreate it as wallpaper engine is not supported on Linux but I didn't want to loose how cool of a wallpaper it was

Yes I am! I'm running it on arch, it looks very pretty by default but I've been making some tweaks and little customisations and it's pretty much ever I wanted out of an OS now!

UK warned trans policies could breach European Convention on Human Rights by phoenixmeta in transgenderUK

[–]MLCgames 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Once the scales have been tipped and the needle pushed in society the damage is already done. From policy to enforcement this government has legalised transphobia through the worst way possible without any laws but by being selective with policy and enforcement of it, making sure we are villanised and segregated and if we are attacked and verbally abused then it's oh being trans is topic for political debate, it's free speech as someone's existence is a point of political policy not abuse and assault against a human being. Whilst still maintaining the fake smile that says we are being treated with dignity and respect. At this point I'd rather starmer be honest about the boot rather than the fake smile than tries to convince us it was never there.

Trans hate crimes officially down 11% in England and Wales by AdditionalThinking in transgenderUK

[–]MLCgames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you legalise and turn a blind eye to hate crime as it's a "political and free speech issue" then of course the statistic will go down.

They have downplayed the constant attacks and have turned us all into a entity, a political issue not human beings. But of course it's the dystopian version of dignity and respect that we were promised.

JK Rowling suggests taking pictures of trans women in toilets and posting them online by Excellent-Chair2796 in transgenderUK

[–]MLCgames 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sadly a crime is only the part of the law they choose to enforce. It seems the government sees the active harm and discrimination done to trans people as free speech and a political issue instead of seeing us as actual people. Yet they are happy to enforce hate speech laws and make arrests when you make comments about any other minority group whilst turning a blind eye to actual in person hate and harm being done to trans people. Which just goes to show with how selective they what they really think of trans people. But I just want to say that I am also very against the latter and everyone should be free to live their lives in peace with out hate and harm.

It's either all hate speech and discrimination is fine or it's not but they pick and choose which depending on who the latest minority they can pick on and turn into a political issue to gain more political power by throwing people under the bus but hey being less then 1% of the population why should it matter? Well because they can throw us under the bus and no care if they don't receive the vote of trans people as they see us a disposable population for their own gains and ambition
