@raistlin71.bsky.social Saw your post about torrenting. I’m also fed up with “legal” sources of media. What is your advice on how to torrent safely? I’ve tried in the past and gotten dinged by my ISP. Is a VPN sufficient protection?

Gonna start a gofundme to raise $2,000,000, to be donated to the first reporter who pushes back when insulted by Trump. It would at least that much to compensate for the loss of career and security.

Something like 800 of the most senior US military leaders were present for today’s lunacy. I’d love to be a fly on the wall when they go out for a beer afterward.

2010: Tried to get baristador accepted as the masculine form of barista. 2025: Trying to get everyone pronouncing DOGE as doggy.

PSA: Don’t buy into Musk’s marketing. DOGE is pronounced as either dog-E, or doggy, depending on which syllable you choose to stress.

The Google Maps app on the iPhone now shows “Gulf of America” as the name of the Gulf of Mexico. I’ve deleted the app. (And DuckDuckGo has been my default search engine on all of my devices for quite some time.)
