Redditor u/biztechmsp summed up a real right to repair issue: [Bell] Fib Giga Hub 2.0 is marketed as capable networking equipment, there is no clean way to hook a router directly to the internet. It breaks internet standards and is easy to fix via standard pppoe connections they previously offered

I just blocked a dozen accounts putting amimated smut in my feed. Is this a coordinated effort to degrade bluesky?

Bluesky should not get into this idea that blocking you is a problem. You can be blocked for any reason. You can be blocked because your pfp is annoying. You can be blocked because your vibe sucks. If you take this personally I think that’s also a reason you can be blocked.

Both of the co-founders of Turning Point USA died from things that were preventable, but which they mocked and urged this nation to ignore. Bill Montgomery was killed in 2020 by COVID and Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025 by gun violence.

You probably won't see it here, but conservative are rebranding empathy as weak, suicidal, or even a sin. This is "greed is good" on steroids and explains a lot about why the cruelty is the point. www.boisestatepublicradio.org/2025-03-22/h...

How empathy came to be seen as a weakness in conservative circles
There's a growing movement, among some conservatives, pushing back against traditional notions of empathy. What's behind it, and what might it mean, especially for Christian conservatives?
