More on the #Mastodon / #Firefox memory issue. This is ridiculous, and it's new behaviour. Any ideas @jerry ? By the time it took me to type this message from a newly opened tab, it was going like treacle again. I suppose I should try to work out how to […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

Just think how pissed off Tom Clancy would have been today. For over 30 years, he diligently worked on whitewashing the CIA's (traditionally very bad) reputation, and now a senile, rotting, orange village idiot destroyed all that retroactive rehabilitation […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

There's something gone very wrong with the new #mastodon arse-end this last week or so. It jams up so even reloads won't work on a very regular basis. It didn't used to do this, and I haven't changed anything in years. #bugs #annoying #arseends

Oooh, somebody put the Match Group documentary up on Dailymotion: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9wadf0 I like how I look fat, northern and relaxed, and everyone else looks... Californian :D Some nice film of Lunenberg though! #dating #matchgroup #tinder #okcupid #socialmedia #safety […]

Oh shit, I just realised that every time Trump is talking about countries "emptying their mental institutions and sending them over here", he's talking about asylum seekers. The orange moron doesn't understand the difference between political asylum and a mental asylum. It's hard to fathom how […]

You think you know what's going on in the #war on #ukraine. But, this video from #sarcasmitron is elucidating and worth sharing widely. Among all the propaganda, everyone seems to have their own particular narrative. Tell me if it fits yours. @ianwelsh @Nonilex @benroyce […]

RE: https://mastodon.art/@herrkaschke/115769581316832533 I'm all for this, but I think the idea of calling it an archive of the world's music is pretty disingenuous. These are 160k MP3 files at best, which is not remotely archive quality for audio (though I guess better than nothing). This […]

I am very confused about how the non-comedy movie industry of the future will treat the Trump era. If a future Oliver Stone did "Trump", or a future Ron Howard did "Hannity/Trump", where would it go? How would you make it believable? I was thinking you could […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

I can't remember if I previewed this post about 2SLGBTQIA+ safety on at least one of Match Group's dating sites, OkCupid. https://untrusted.ca/wiki/oksafety If you are in that group and use OkCupid, you should probably read it. #lgbtq #lgbtqia #dating #matchgroup #okcupid #safety
