TyrantⅡ @tyrantii.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Gonna have to check that out at some point. ShieldPro is still great tech but the OS has been brutalized by Google and Nvidia into an ad and surveillance monster and it slows it down considerably. 010

TyrantⅡ @tyrantii.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I'm in compliance so I'm kinda a hard ass about stuff like this. Journalists do deserve to be paid more and fairly. But accepting stuff like this is a big conflict of interest if they're going to continue to work on reporting of a publisher. Publishers aren't spending the money if it didn't. 100

TyrantⅡ @tyrantii.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Salty Sunday take. Journalists shouldn't be accepting marketing/promotional material like this unless they're covering the marketing campaign from a reporting perspective. Influencers should be making it clear to their audience they're doing compensated promotions / advertising. 2252

I hope it doesn't come to it, but probably only a matter of time until the harassment starts 000
