Beat the campaign in #AceCombat8TheWingsofTheve and the first #Bayonetta this past week, and I enjoyed both of those quite a lot despite some punishing moments. Currently trying to learn a little about internal vs external capture cards so I can share playing the second and third Bayonetta games.

I didn't even know this Epyon kit existed, but it's quite cool to see! Hopefully whomever gets it is a major #gundamwing and #apexlegends fan, and enjoys the other goodies as well. ^_^

I'm on a quest to find the best low sugar and low sodium versions of all the things I enjoy that usually are loaded with those. The newest search is for an alternative to PopTarts.

"Surveillance is not safety," EFF's Rindala Alajaji said, via @nbcbayarea.com. "That’s why EFF and the ACLU of Northern California are suing the city of San Jose on behalf of SIREN and CAIR - because in a single year, San Jose PD ran over 250,000 warrantless searches on this location data."

“In some ways, Axon is actually worse than Flock,” EFF's @maassive.bsky.social told @indyweek.bsky.social. “Flock never had mobile license plate cameras, and Axon does. They install them on patrol cars, and that means patrol cars become like roving data vacuums.”

“While estimating age based on user behavior is less invasive than requiring users to upload photos, credit card information or a state-issued ID, age-gating the internet creates dangerous new forms of surveillance, censorship, and exclusion,” EFF’s @davidgreene.bsky.social told @cnet.com.

Digitizing incarcerated people’s mail means companies can store those scans for years, which can chill speech, EFF’s @caragagliano.bsky.social told @jpradio.bsky.social. “We've talked to a lot of people...who stopped sending mail because they didn't want it to be scanned and put in this database.”

This would be nice to have.

“They don’t have to go to a judge, they don’t need to justify why they’re making a search of all this historic (Flock ALPR) data, they can just sit (with) a computer and run a search. And so it is tailor-made for this abuse,” EFF’s @mguariglia.bsky.social told Atlanta’s WSB ABC2.

Saw someone wearing an Initial D shirt today in Publix so that was really cool, and people should wear stuff that shows their interests more often. I've been trying to get a new band tee here and there and need to get more anime shirts as well.

Playing Forza Horizon 6 has made me want to get back to immersing myself in more Japanese culture (Asian cultures in general as well) so I've been looking for more events meetups, restaurants, and festivals around the Atlanta metro area to check out.

Finally tried Palworld. Caught my first Pal. Set up a base and gave it a job. By the end of the day it had depression. Most realistic video game I've ever played.
