It’s interesting or funny that we’re three months into the Modern Warfare 3 life and the game is still getting hit with errors. For Season Two‚ players are now facing a “something went wrong” error‚ which we thankfully have a guide for. There’s a new error called “You do not have permission to play with users on other platforms‚” and we’ll show how to fix it in Modern Warfare 3.  Modern Warfare 3: how to fix the ‘you do not have permission to play with users on other platforms’ error What makes this error interesting is that it seems to be impacting only PS5 and PS4 owners. Which is weird because it’s a crossplay issue. But like the Travis Rilea 14515 error‚ it can be easy to fix. You only need to toggle crossplay on and off.  Steps to fix the error Head to the game’s options‚ and look for Account and Network. Crossplay will be the first setting to pick. Make sure it is toggled on. Once it’s on‚ exit the game‚ and then...

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL — The chairmen of two House of Representatives subcommittees are calling on D.C. authorities to preserve the remains of “The Five” aborted baby bodies. “Our subcommittees are conducting oversight of the District of Columbia’s and the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) enforcement of federal law‚” Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government Chairman Chip Roy and Subcommittee on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance Chairman Andy Biggs say in the letter‚ addressed to D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and the Metropolitan Police Department’s chief‚ Pamela Smith. Roy‚ a Republican‚ represents Texas. Biggs‚ also a Republican‚ represents Arizona. “On February 5‚ 2024‚ The Daily Signal reported that DOJ had advised the Washington‚ D.C.‚ Medical Examiner to dispose of the remains of five preborn children whose bodies were allegedly recovered from the Washington Surgi-Clinic‚” the lawmakers write in the letter‚ a copy of which was first obtained by The Daily Signal. “We strongly urge you to reconsider this decision and request that you preserve this evidence.” The D.C. medical examiner has had those baby remains‚ recovered from a D.C. abortion clinic‚ in its possession for almost two years now. Pro-lifers believe the babies may have been illegally aborted in violation of the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act or the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act. The Daily Signal reported late Monday that Thomas More Society lawyer Martin Cannon “got a call from the Medical Examiner’s Office indicating that the DOJ has advised them that there is no reason to keep those babies anymore.” Cannon is representing pro-life activist Lauren Handy‚ who faces charges of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act. Handy says the babies are important evidence in defending her from the DOJ’s charges. The medical examiner denied to The Daily Signal that it has been in contact with the DOJ‚ but has refused to address further requests for comment. The DOJ declined to comment at all. Cannon insists that his story is true. 2024-02-08-Roy-Biggs-to-Bowser-Smith-re-DC5Download Biggs and Roy emphasize that a violation of the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act is a serious accusation‚ “and one that should not be taken lightly.” “Despite this significant claim‚ both the MPD and DOJ chose to ignore any potential evidence of a crime for two years‚” they write. “Now‚ DOJ has reportedly directed the Medical Examiner that ‘there is no reason to keep those babies anymore.'” “Serious questions remain about the circumstances of these children’s deaths‚” they conclude. “This situation demands congressional oversight‚ and you have already received requests from Congress to preserve evidence in this case. If partial birth abortions were conducted on these unborn children‚ that is a violation of federal law and should be investigated as such. However‚ if the evidence in this case is destroyed‚ any future investigation will be severely hampered.” Bowser and the MPD did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Daily Signal.

Recently‚ the legislature in my home state of Alabama told public four-year colleges to report how much they spend on “diversity‚ equity and inclusion.” The amount: $16.2 million. Are taxpayers getting anything for this money? DEI advocates say it’s a good investment. Paulette Granberry Russell‚ the president of the National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education‚ says that anti-DEI legislation ultimately would prevent historically marginalized students from fully engaging in higher education. But is that true? To find out‚ I looked at spending on DEI programs at prominent colleges and enrollment of black students at those schools. Auburn University and the University of Alabama reported DEI budgets of $3 million each‚ according to AL.com. The University of Alabama enrolled 4‚344 blacks in 2022 (less than 12% of its student body) and Auburn University 1‚560 blacks (less than 5% of its students)‚ according to the Alabama Commission on Higher Education. How about outside Alabama? The University of Michigan reportedly spends more than $18 million on DEI staff and benefits‚ yet in 2022 blacks made up less than 5% of undergraduates there. George Mason University in Northern Virginia has “a ratio of 7.4 DEI staff per 100 faculty‚” yet  blacks made up just over 11% of students there in 2022. How much did Troy University‚ where I teach‚ spend on DEI? Zero dollars. Yet Troy enrolled 4‚421 blacks in 2022—almost 32% of its student population. Instead of feeding bloated DEI bureaucrats on Troy’s campus‚ the school actively recruits international students from across the world to our small town in southeast Alabama—hence our nickname “Alabama’s international university.” Troy University has achieved diversity in part by rejecting DEI‚ which negatively affects organizational culture‚ fostering fear and resentment rather than friendship‚ openness and dialogue. Ironically‚ DEI racially discriminates to remedy past racism. It stifles viewpoint diversity by bureaucratizing speech restrictions with bias-reporting systems and response teams. It mandates ideological diversity and sensitivity training‚ seeking to compel acceptance of controversial and suspect premises. Some DEI initiatives are absurd. For instance‚ the Federal Aviation Administration’s DEI plan recommends hiring employees with psychiatric and “severe” intellectual disabilities. Will those qualities make flying safer? DEI is dehumanizing‚ classifying people by immutable characteristics‚ not by the choices they make that reflect their character‚ individuality or excellence. The salaries of DEI officers at public universities are considerably higher than most faculty salaries‚ despite the dearth of evidence that DEI works. The National Science Foundation recently awarded a grant to study why its $365 million investment in diversity failed to increase female representation in engineering. The Heritage Foundation discovered that students at the Power Five collegiate athletic conference universities with numerous DEI staff feel less‚ rather than more‚ welcome on campus. It also found that black and Hispanic students suffered larger learning losses in public school districts with chief diversity officers. Even among private firms‚ diversity programs fail. A recent New York Times headline asked‚ “What if Diversity Training is Doing More Harm Than Good?” Intimidation and resentment—products of DEI—are not conducive to learning or community. The Supreme Court recently struck down the affirmative action programs at Harvard and the University of North Carolina. Bills limiting or defunding DEI programs at public universities have passed or been introduced in numerous jurisdictions‚ including Alabama. It’s time for public universities to be more like Troy University‚ which diversifies its student body by concentrating on education‚ its stated mission‚ and not on divisive concepts that too often accompany DEI training and bureaucracy. The university’s motto reads‚ “Educate the mind to think‚ the heart to feel‚ and the body to act.” These words apply to all races‚ uniting diverse peoples across cultures and traditions. My colleagues and I take this motto seriously. And the racial and demographic statistics of our student body demonstrate the merit and effectiveness of our approach. You can’t legislate‚ coerce or command a welcoming environment. But you can nurture an institutional culture in which students and faculty feel they belong. Have an opinion about this article?

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties‚ subscribe to Reclaim The Net. Charlie Angus‚ a longstanding New Democratic Party MP representing the Timmins-James Bay region in Canada‚ has introduced a provocative private member’s bill this week‚ known as the Fossil Fuel Advertising Act or C-372. Essentially‚ this act aims to impose penalties‚ including imprisonment‚ on those found publicly advertising praise of fossil fuels‚ even if their statements are based on accepted scientific facts. For example‚ such facts could include the statement that burning natural gas is less harmful to the environment than coal. However‚ Bill C-372 encompasses much more than just prohibiting false advertising from oil and gas companies. Heralded by Angus in the House of Commons as the oil industry’s impending “big tobacco moment‚” this reference reflects the sweeping federal ban on tobacco advertisement currently in effect in Canada. Yet‚ seeing as the NDP currently only holds 25 seats in parliament‚ it is unlikely that this private member’s bill will gain the necessary traction to pass. We obtained a copy of the bill for you here. Despite its slim chances of success‚ the implications of this act apply broadly. For instance‚ any Canadian found commending the oil industry or oil in general could be faced with penalties. The law stipulates a heavy fine of up to $500‚000 for individual violators‚ while oil corporations could face up to two years imprisonment or have to shoulder a $1‚000‚000 fine. Under the law‚ a wide net is cast as to what constitutes “promotion” or “advertising‚” potentially including items such as social media posts. The bill also criminalizes various common arguments in favor of oil and natural gas‚ even if they’re scientifically supported. Moreover‚ the law potentially introduces legal consequences for making arguments about fossil fuels being advantageous to the Canadian economy‚ Indigenous reconciliation‚ or Canadians’ health.

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties‚ subscribe to Reclaim The Net. Private search engine Mojeek‚ one of Reclaim The Net’s recommended search engines‚ has announced the launch of its new algorithm that integrates a semantic element into its search engine. This update‚ which has undergone extensive building and user testing phases‚ is now live and set to revolutionize how queries are matched to relevant pages. The traditional keyword-based approach of Mojeek has been enhanced with this semantic element. This means that pages that might not have ranked highly solely based on keywords can now achieve better visibility. The primary goal of this update is to refine search results‚ making them more relevant and user-friendly. The semantic approach addresses the limitations of keyword searches‚ such as issues with misspellings‚ synonyms‚ and polysemous words (words with multiple meanings). For example – “Light” and “Lamp.” “Light” can refer to the natural agent that stimulates sight and makes things visible‚ but it also means not heavy. A search engine might struggle with connecting “light” to “lamp” if the context is ambiguous. Despite this new addition‚ Mojeek retains its core keyword-based search mechanism. The balance aimed here is to enhance search results without overstepping into the realm of guessing what the user intends – a common frustration with some search engines. The refinement brought about by the semantic element is particularly notable in its current application to English-language results. However‚ Mojeek plans to expand this functionality to other languages over the year. This move is part of a larger strategy to overhaul the way results are ordered‚ promising continual improvements and updates throughout the year. Mojeek has emphasized the importance of user feedback in this process‚ encouraging users to provide feedback through the Contact page or use the buttons on the results pages.
