It's "Where the hell is Matt?" not "Where the h*ll is Matt?" Stop self-censoring when you don't even need to. You can say the word hell on YouTube and Bluesky. Hell, hell, hell, hell. See? Considering switching to LibreWolf over this.

Reddit is now requiring login to view the old website (old.reddit.com). I don't have an account, won't make one, and don't want to use their new website. Therefore, I will now stop using Reddit and fully transition to forums. I expect my productivity to boost as I'll no longer check Reddit often.

Hey @bsky.support @support.bsky.team your AI is falsifying election results again

I’m just so tired of everything trying to make money any other way than by doing the thing it was meant to do.

We live in a country where personal anecdotes mean more than statistical evidence. A post online will say "crime is falling" with a link to official statistics and the replies will be: "Oh but my granny was mugged last week so these statistics must be made up!!" www.gov.uk/government/n...

If buying isn't owning, piracy isnt stealing 🤷‍♂️

Twitter's character limit for non-subscribed users is 280. A quick length check reveals her tweet is 274 characters. If she were to add "I am" and "There is" as Tories suggest, it would be 288 characters long, which exceeds the limit. She wouldn't be able to post it at all with these corrections.

If you want Peter Kyle anywhere near government, you are on the side of predators. It is as simple as that.

The VPN ban has been defeated! With Starmer's regime coming to an end, hopefully more of the censorship and surveillance that has been imposed by his government will be overturned. www.techradar.com/vpn/vpn-priv...

We have a big win! #StopKillingGames and #StopKillingInternet signed a joint letter opposing the UK government’s proposed VPN ban and we succeeded! Proud to stand alongside @mozilla.org , @proton.me @amnesty.org , Reporters Without Borders, and leading VPNs to defend a free and open internet. ...

The Guardian and Mirror use the "consent or pay" model where you have to accept all advertising cookies or pay a subscription fee, so I'd recommend using NoScript and blocking cookies for their website in your browser settings if you need to read them.

Discord needs to be bullied once again for not learning their lesson. Hit them where it hurts and end your Nitro

The June 2026 Nintendo Direct is now available on Nintendo Channel on Wii! Please enjoy watching absolutely nothing on the Wii.

BREAKING: PM bans social media for children. “Today I can announce that the government will ban access to social media for all children under the age of 16”.

TRANSLATION: Starmer will require adults to submit their ID to use social media (including YouTube!), despite that until recently, it was considered common sense NOT to give out personal information online. Kids will not be able to watch educational YouTube videos or videos of their hobbies.

Rest in Peace, Chris Rea. Driving Home is truly one of my favourite Christmas songs.

Europe according to Orban:

I hope we start seeing more linux phone operating systems come into the fold… it’s getting ridiculous now

Tech companies have a weird kink for keeping customers safe from themselves. Just give us the choice and put a paragraph in the T&Cs saying "we bear no responsibility if you damage your device doing this"

Fuck the show "Big Brother" I am tired of it appearing on my feed. Always that hashtag BB27. I've never been interested in it. I've never watched it in my life, follow no accounts related to it, and have never sought any information about it on this app or liked any posts.

support privacy and encryption? then stop adhering to the UK's anti-encryption Online Safety Act

Happy birthday to Windows 95, yesterday. It launched commercially on 24th August 1995 after being released to OEM on 14th July.

Windows 95 is 30 I hear

Android appears to have just announced plans to lock down like iPhone. No more writing software, not even on devices you own, without getting permission from Google first. In other words, an Android device will no longer be a device you "own". lethallava.land/notes/abuxw7...

"Yo, surveillance and age checks are swag. I totally dig face scanning. Opponents of the OSA are sussy AF. Peter Kyle is the CEO of drip."

We made the "Road Safety Act" to protect children by banning them from leaving the house. If you disagree with it, then you're on the side of dangerous drivers.

Every UK petition is like this

Nearly 400,000 Britons have now signed a petition calling for repeal of the Online Safety Act. Astounding. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...

New flags to protest against the Online Safety Act, in the form of the Anarcho-Communist (left) and Anarcho-Capitalist (right) flags.

Petition has passed the threshold for a debate: "Repeal the Online Safety Act" Parliament will consider this petition for a debate as it has 100056 signatures #PetitionAwaitingDebate

100,000 signatures on this petition. Let's turn that into a million. Let's overtake that stupid "hold another election" petition from last year or the one to remain in the EU. Let's show the government we won't give up our privacy without a fight. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72... #UK #Tech

Luckily I have abruptly moved to the Netherlands in the last few days so I am not affected by the #OnlineSafetyAct 😉

Any UK-based users please sign this petition. The Online Safety Act is draconian and is leading to forums closing down, only furthering the megacorporation monopoly on the internet. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72... #UK #Politics #Technology

Update on my game: I'm switching over to OpenGL and going to make it 3D! Unlike SDL, OpenGL does not have any built-in text rendering, so I spent a week making one. #programming #opengl #gamedev
