  Spite has been a powerful driver in my most recent software choices recently. I know how it is.

  I was just thinking that I should host a “how to” peertube instance.

  Why?

  On the off chance that you have not heard that Linux is way more user friendly now, I recommend switching over. Especially if you are able to update the computer frequently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube just quietly blocked Adblock Plus — the internet hasn't noticed yet, but I've found a workaround⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  That does not apply to most people. Also, peertube is really getting better recently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube just quietly blocked Adblock Plus — the internet hasn't noticed yet, but I've found a workaround⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Stop using youtube and start using peertube. WE DONT FUCKING NEED GOOGLE!

  What are you using?

  Tips are a big reason I stopped going out. Everybody wants one.

  They’re cutting some of that stuff at NASA. Does he work for the ScaN folks? That’s LEGS, HDTN, CSP, NEO, TDRSS, NEN, DSN, etc. I just wonder if people who are getting their jobs cut are still gung ho for Trump.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Peter Thiel’s bestie going mask off⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And all my neighbors are still on board with Trump. Drives me nuts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Peter Thiel’s bestie going mask off⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re not where I am in the South then. Lots of flags here. Not sure why people don’t get asses kicked over it like in other places.

  So does Peter Theil, Zuck, and Elon.

  Can’t Soros just harvest babies and feed the bots adrenochrome?

  The guy that has the worst business ethics wants to use a product to “improve humanity.” Remember the last time he said that? He sure did do a good job of unifying and connecting everyone in a healthy way. I love how he’s so confident he can do it again.

  Where tf do you order an assassin online? It’s an FBI agent on the other end for sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Women’s ‘red flag’ app Tea is a privacy nightmare⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for looking out for us. However, I, too, am a bit concerned. This is how Facebook started. The tech industry has zero ethics. I recommend women, AND men, have a trusted safety buddy when dating. When I met my spouse, I had two people who knew where I was, the person’s name, photo, employer, and where we were meeting.Do some internet stalking. If I don’t call you in an hour, come looking for me. If I call, I might ask for another hour, but you get the point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lately, a great many people who used to say they didn't care about privacy because they had nothing to hide must be realizing what a flawed conclusion that was.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Basically, we’ve been waiting since the early 2010s for people in the “i have nothing to hide club” to figure out why they should protect their info. Now, they have built psychological profiles on us all to the point that their surveillance algos know what we are doing before we do. When the government further destabilizes just a little bit, everything we’ve ever done will be used against us. They will ramp up the abise as soon as they can get away with it. God help these company executives who are furries on the weekend and have unicorn tail buttplugs at parties. So many people are going to be cancelled over puritain rhetoric for nonsense tribial quirks that nobody should give af about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lately, a great many people who used to say they didn't care about privacy because they had nothing to hide must be realizing what a flawed conclusion that was.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It will severely suck very, very soon. As soon as they destabilize govs enough to get away with severe abuse of info.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lately, a great many people who used to say they didn't care about privacy because they had nothing to hide must be realizing what a flawed conclusion that was.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, they still don’t fucking get it. I’m so frustrated, I just stopped trying.

  Give it a few months. Those assholes have a whole island state off the coast of Honduras so that they can skirt development regulation. Peter fucking Theil. It’s only a matter of time before Elon grabs his neuralink and joins the psychopath “accomplishment is the only reason to live” circle jerk for the transhumanist bullshit.
