I mask as much as possible. The thought that I or a loved one could die or deteriorate so quickly because of something I helped spread around... I could never have that on my conscience.

I'm so sorry for your lost, it's disgusting that such a low number of people do the right thing.

I have to spend my evening ripping up and scanning yet another book because it's the easiest way to make an accurate ebook from inaccessible text

Folks please if you do a book, make sure there's an accessible audio version so I don't have to do shit like this

Putting VPNs behind an age wall threatens our privacy.

They keep young people safe from harassment. Business networks secure. Journalists, campaigners and whistleblowers shielded from harm.

Privacy is online safety ✊️

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube.

As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

Tactical voting groups say greens - not labour - will stop Reform in byelection.

Tactical voting groups say greens - not labour - will stop Reform in byelection.

On Thursday only Greens can beat Reform in Gorton and Denton. And we will beat their hate with a message of hope.

On Thursday help us make hope normal again.

any time a successful indie game is made by someone with a totally unhealthy relationship to work and no work/life balance it just creates that expectation for everyone else. you can't make an art scene off of people who are isolating and torturing themselves with work

My Android MP3 player died and I decided to install Rockbox (an alternative iPod OS) on my Anbernic Cubexx (handheld emulator)

The wonderful scrobbler below is the only one I've found that still works, so if anyone else is switching to a Rockboxable device and uses Lastfm, highly recommended!
