For anyone looking at getting a VPN, the worldwide trend to an Orwellian internet has caused them to double in price since I last looked at switching less than a year ago. Mullvad is still €5/month (<$6 currently) It's a bit strange if you're not a techy but I promise it's easy to setup and use

Second half had me in tears with how clearly said was what needs to be said by more in his position Thank you @techconnectify.bsky.social

Leveled up my "Derision at urban pick up trucks" stats today 2 sheets of plywood in a Prius with only 1 cut I had to make anyway

@bsky.app please split out "Autoplay videos and GIFs", I do want GIFs to autoplay, never videos. Just because they're both "moving pictures" they're drastically different in content and use

yessssss

Trains for the win again

I had a Spanish professor once who told us that when the government is firing on its own citizens, the government has failed, not its citizens.

416 school shootings since 2000 and these ghouls couldn't find a single exception to the second amendment until someone was mean to them.

"We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."-Elie Wiesel

the entire difference between kyle rittenhouse and alex pretti is that kyle rittenhouse was there to shoot people the cops wanted to shoot and alex pretti was there to protect people the cops wanted to shoot

It’s all over the place. Good.

Businesses of NYC, you don't need to have your heaters set so high! I know I run hot, but I shouldn't have to go outside in a blizzard without a coat to cool off once an hour I was in Chicago last week in the same temp range without this problem

I officially have a favorite subway station. Through a minor mixup i had to get off at 50th and wait for a diff train It was empty, the only thing to be heard was creaking of the tracks and hum of electrical equipment I found my zen state

solidarity forever

Have a Ring camera?? You’re basically an #ICE agent now. They’re tapping your camera for their fascist bs. I was already wary, and now i know they're just bad. Thankfully i no longer have any of their cams to rip out and recycle Thanks @404media.co for covering this. www.404media.co/ice-secret-s...

I am pretty well into a script titled "you are being misled about renewable energy" Not gonna pull out studies. Don't need to go over climate change. Just a simple, plain conversation where we look at the realities of renewables vs. fossil fuels and I say "stop letting Republicans lie to you"

He was showing grace, but that wasn't good enough

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review

Grok is so much worse than you think.

Doo dah Doo dah

I have peaked in life. #taskmaster #taskmasterlive

I'm in Chicago specifically to see their show but still shocked I ran into Greg Davies and @alexhorne.bsky.social at The Bean

If you don't stand against fascism, you undoubtedly still be affected This guy was just trying to get home, ICE threw a smoke grenade in the car. his kids ended up inhaling unknown amounts of smoke. This is how fascism functions. The boot does not care who it stomps, remember that

Police discovered a vast graveyard of remnants of bygone special interests in the residence of Ffiona Maw, 40, with the accused allegedly having kept trophies from over 200 victims.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Hello Tim Cook I worked at Tumblr when you gave us 48 hours to get rid of all the consenting, adult boobs. Up all night at your whim, out of the blue. But you're still cool with Twitter and its CSAM and revenge porn and whatever the fuck this is? Why do you even HAVE guidelines?

NEW: At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday. DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality. Our latest:

Life hack I learned from an old gearhead. If you're working in a tight space and risk losing nuts, bolts, etc, surround the area under them in magnets. It's going to cause it's own annoyances, but forgetting this lesson made me lose 18hrs to hunt down a specialty part I lost

When you're the platonic ideal of a cishet bearded nerd and you comment on a woman's attractiveness...

Don't knock the toe shoes, when you work an office job that draws the line at flip flops, toe shoes are the loophole

Post a perfect album from the ‘90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains.

I'm destined to spend the rest of my life chasing the high of The Thief chapter 12 and Project Hail Mary chapter 7

@mcbride.house.gov is right. It’s hard enough being a kid — and politicians don’t need to make it harder. Thank you, Congresswoman, for speaking out against the cruel Republican attacks on health care for trans youth.

the right attitude

I don't seem to remember Trump bombing the Sackler Family when they were suspected of illegally flooding the country with opioids. His administration shielded them from having to pay restitution.

The quickest and easiest inoculation against getting scammed is..accepting that you could definitely fall for it and need to be vigilant. You may still get scammed, but at least you won't be shamefaced about it!

Cory Doctorow on the Daily Show says that while guys like Musk and other tech oligarchs are "failures that are running the world" and "terrible people" they're ultimately "filling a void that was created by policy."

I go through a lot of YouTube, but 2,082 individual channels? That's gotta be heavily skewed by shorts

Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

Here's a formal response to Flock Safety's comments regarding my video and the associated research. TL;DR - I'm happy to ethically design a research project to test these vulnerabilities on live devices, but they have to promise not to have me arrested for doing it. figshare.com/articles/onl...
