Hillary prediction:

The media's being far too quiet about Hurricane Hillary - there are masses of homeless in SoCal, and when the storm hits there will be masses of dead. THEN the media will scream CLIMATE CHANGE! and pretend they couldn't have done anything to warn in advance. The State will use this as an excuse to clamp down even harder with guilt trip after guilt-trip.

Created a new type of enemy. It moves in a sine curve. Though the movement needs some tweaking if it is going to spawn in groups like this.

@d a few examples that I commonly see:
- you should use your ISP raw because we have one case where a sketchy VPN company was used in court in 30 years of their existence despite 80 cases per day of people getting caught because they didn't
- using a VPN to access tor is dangerous because of <completely incoherent reason>, despite the fact that tor traffic is evident to your ISP and using it a lot will definitely get you flagged
- hosting your own VPN in a data center is more secure than mixing traffic with others despite you basically owning the computer that the traffic is coming from
- don't bother using privacy browsers because there's a hypothetical vulnerability somewhere. You might as well just use chrome on windows

the more I try to research the topic of computer security on forums, the more I'm realizing that a lot of it reads like intentional government misinfo that people just regurgitate.

Hey guys, I was featured on the latest Thank God for Nostr podcast where we discussed veganism, my beginnings at Truth Social, ActivityPub, and the move to Nostr.

Give it a listen here: https://fountain.fm/episode/7IvgMxBTfPXPw6CI60Oc

Thank you @97c70a44366a6535c145b333f973ea86dfdc2d7a99da618c40c64705ad98e322 for the great interview!

I have just been informed that this week AstraZeneca has started blocking access to Bae.st on the company Wi-Fi at their San Francisco location.

Making women act like men would be equally destructive, it’s not that one is better, it’s that we need both, and we need the difference even more. It’s the dynamo at the heart of all complex mammalian life and has been since we were cowering under rocks as the dinosaurs faded away.

In 2000, the WonderSwan received a web browser supporting a subset of HTML 3.2, tables, GIF files, reading Japanese text, bookmarks, and cookies - all on a handheld competing with the Game Boy Color.

From 2004, it no longer worked due to a missing gateway server. UNTIL TODAY.

I wrote a tutorial, so you can make it work again too, if you want!

It's up on my blog:

@xianc78 you can mix corn starch and baking soda, 60/40 or 70/30 ratio and add in some essential oil drops too

One pound of pure baking soda is nearly 6X cheaper than 16 oz of deodorant, so it is actually cheaper to just use baking soda as a deodorant than it is to spread toxic chemicals onto your armpits. There is literally no excuse.

Looks like the most retarded site on the Internet got an update this week .. for the first time in three years.

Another cultural/lifestyle rant that is probably going to piss people off 

Okay, time for a follow up rant. I don't understand why dogs are sometimes loved and valued even more than humans. Though the only people who would openly admit to it are misanthropic, vegan leftists who support the VHEMT, but most dog lovers also fall into this category. Here are some points to consider:

* People get offended by violence towards dogs even more so than violence towards humans. For example, Nintendo had to force ID Software to replace the Nazi guard dogs with rats in the SNES version of Wolfenstein 3D. There's other media that had similar censorship but I can't think of any off the top of my head.
* Some of the most tear-jerking books and films involve dogs dying. People die all the time in books and films but dog deaths always get people more for whatever reason.
* You see more commercials and advertisements from non-profits asking to donate to help stray dogs or adopt animals from an animal shelter than you see commercials asking the same for orphaned, human children. It seems like people would rather help stray dogs than human children who have no parents.
* Dog fighting is illegal in most places, but boxing is not.
