#unacceptable — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #unacceptable, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Just read that #Sony will stop pressing physical #PlayStation #discs for new games from January 2028. Everything becomes #digital only.

    I can not #support this. Without a #disc the customer is only a #licence holder, not a real owner. A digital game can be altered, #locked or completely #deleted with one click, so old #versions simply disappear from your library.

    Because Sony controls the disc #licensing, big #publishers like #EA, #Ubisoft and #Capcom must follow. This is bad for #preservation and turns a #cultural medium into pure #licensed #data.

    With only one #store and no #second-hand #market, the #prices stay high.

    For me this is #unacceptable. It is another reason why I prefer #DRMfree platforms like #GOG, where the game stays mine and stays playable forever.

  6. I'm midway the first episode of Ed Gamble's new Unacceptable series.

    I still don't quite understand this show but it has Richard Ayoade, Joanne McNally, Romesh Ranganathan and Katherine Ryan so I'm having a good time with it.

  8. CW: TLC’s Unacceptable

    A panel show, hosted by the comedian Ed Gamble.

    The usual suspects are asked to defend “unacceptable” positions. First on the series? The royals should be given more money.

    Also rounds where one team ask the other to defend a position. And to pick out the honest opinion of a relative from the other side.

    Ad breaks in weird places. Whole thing’s produced by Romesh Ranganathan, who i’ve always found to be a massive fun sponge.

    Deeply, deeply cynical; folk swing from sincerity to guff they’re making up.

    There’s a vaguely-decent Radio 4 chat-comedy commission lurking here; chop 20 mins off the runtime. But i’d rather listen to the comedian Ed Gamble read the phone book at me.

  20. This is about my friends' son. Wow... Just wow... I know this kid and it just breaks my heart.

    Some US citizens in #Maine are carrying passports, fearing #ICE detention

    Some Mainers of color say they’re afraid to leave their homes and worry about their children. One man says he was racially profiled.

    by Salomé Cloteaux, Morgan Womack, and Dana Richie
    January 28, 2026

    "Cooper George was doing what other 13-year-old boys do when they’re home alone: he played video games.

    Then, his friend texted in a group chat saying Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity was ramping up.

    It was Jan. 12, a week before a surge that federal agents have dubbed 'Operation Catch of the Day' began in Maine.

    George knew that ICE officers had been scoping out some places near his home in Westbrook. But if they were increasing their operations, did that mean they were going door to door? Were they going to come to his house?

    He immediately stepped away from his screen and rummaged through his bag to look for his passport.

    George has been carrying proof of his U.S. citizenship, like his passport or birth certificate, for about a year now, ever since he heard about ICE agents showing up in schools last spring.

    He’s afraid he could be arrested because he’s mixed race. He’d seen news reports in other states of other U.S. citizens of color who said they had been stopped or detained by immigration officers.

    Since President Donald Trump retook office and announced plans to crack down on illegal immigration, people of color have said they anticipate being stopped by federal agents.

    A Supreme Court ruling in September cleared the way for immigration agents to stop people based on their race, language, job or location.

    Federal officials say they’ve arrested more than 200 people so far in Maine and contend that they’re focused on detaining people with criminal records and illegal immigration statuses.

    But family members, immigrant advocates and local officials have said that many of those detained so far are either in the country legally or haven’t committed any crimes.

    Some citizens, like George, have started carrying proof of citizenship on them in an effort to prevent arrest if they are approached.

    But this one afternoon, he couldn’t find his passport."
