Finished the first round of updates to my justthebrowser.com project! The Firefox settings now use the registry on Windows and system profiles on Mac, instead of the JSON files that kept breaking. A bug with downloads failing on Mac is also fixed.

Go out and meet one! Trust us, we're not all massholes like they say. Here, we'll help: kikipedia.app/boston

Vaguepost Update: All issues have been resolved, and I have built out a contingency plan for if another issue arises so nobody has to panic or worse, think about systems architecture.

it’s always worth mentioning that Harris-led SESTA/FOSTA really got this ball rolling, and the SW community was desperately trying to warn us just like how everyone in games media warned about gamergate as part of GOP long term planning we gotta gotta gotta start really listening to people

Please, powers that be, don't give me yet another system that isn't part of my day job that I have to maintain and provide tech support for.

I'm a fan of Eufy's video doorbell and security camera solutions- their recognition AI is easily disabled, all processing happens in the hub device, and you can get it to work in its own subnet without WAN access if you don't need notifications on your phone.

so discord? this is some horseshit & i do not trust it. fuck you and your AI age verification

Look I get that a rodent is more funded than the national weather service these days, but let's be real.

Bathroom window lighting is the only good natural light in the morning here, and I've accepted that.

I really wanna know... What was Briar Blush gonna do for talent show? And would it involve another single produced by Big Atlas?

Bators always do it better: Part 57 @bateworld.com requires only the minimum of PII (birthday & email address), does not store payment or verification details, and encourages privacy-focused browsers and VPNs. It's the weirdos who think you shouldn't touch your hog who'll do you wrong. Every time.

It's my only gay coworker's last day today because he and his husband are leaving the country for fear of their own safety (husband is a naturalized citizen) 😭

"the uk can't just ban vpns" is a very frustrating attitude to see. they can and they will, if they decide to. it's important that they don't decide to.

When people say things like "the best way to fight tyranny in America is mutual aid" we mean that very literally. Strong mutual aid networks allow workers to strike and still be able to feed their families and stay safe. It may sound idealistic but is incredibly practical and necessary work.

Why is getting simple things done these days like pulling teeth? Had HVAC work done; had to follow up constantly to keep things moving because people kept forgetting to schedule things or send over paperwork before hard deadlines. I swear. The repeat covid brain damage is fucking real.

Okay now NOBODY needs to be giving these assholes a bailout from OUR tax money that they TOOK from us after they TOOK our good jobs and left us to scrub floors.

I find it harder and harder to justify a Ptown trip every year when all I see is rising prices as the town slowly bleeds queer talent because none of them can afford to stay there. Like, no, I don't wanna spend $4000 on a week in a tiny unkempt apartment that SHOULD be inhabited by an artist.

Echoing this because we'd be going together.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

If you’re promoting an event with AI generated videos/images, I’m just going to assume the actual event is going to be so lame you didn’t want to show anyone/anything/any place actually involved with it

As you can see, the toilet paper is oriented the correct way, and the bidet remote gets priority.

God I hate what technology has become. Got a new device/app/account? Lemme start by exploring the ENTIRE settings menu and every submenu so I can turn off telemetry, AI features, notifications, emails, and whatever other shit nobody asked for.

It's now safe to turn off your computer.

github mass-suspended a bunch of developers making mods for popular erotic games, without warning or explanation. even when users try their best to stay withing platforms' rules, they get fucked www.404media.co/github-ban-s...

Every bit helps.

Had to do a workaround for age verification on this app because it incorrectly assumed my location and I swear to god if y'all aren't regularly calling your senators and congress people to let them know they will NOT be re-elected if they vote for age verification bills, you are part of the problem.

Is a Grindr sub ACTUALLY this expensive these days, or is this screenshot taken from reddit edited?

Come on baby RENT CONTROL ‼️ it’s a midterm year so let’s support local candidates that wanna make it easier to build more housing and push for rent control. Wig @bigxatlas.bsky.social outfit @lauraplad.bsky.social

Must resist urge to post shady sub-skeet.

So I know nothing about Parasite Eve but I accidentally got a vinyl recording of the ps1 game. The music kinda slaps but I have no idea what is happening haha. Anyone got a tl;dr?

Drag Race Prediction: RuPaul is gonna be AI from the neck down on the runway tonight.

Idk the person who made these (personally), but in the never ending saga of my profile pic getting more and more cursed, I needed to follow trend on my own.

Still trying to figure out if I've ever seen Briar Blush perform in the real world, or if she's "after my time".

We're caught up on this week's Culinary Class Wars episodes. Do we watch another episode of the awkward horny hockey show?

Merry Dickmas. w/ @bravodelta9.bsky.social 🎅🏻

Ep 1: So far only the music has been appealing.

It's that day.

Managed to get my dick skin stuck in the loop of my sweatpants' drawstring while untying it 🙃

this Grindr CEO is a 🤡

Don't let an app sync your fucking contacts.
