sometimes i think about the fact that people routinely browse the web without noscript, uBlock Origin, and Cookie Autodelete, and get the chills.

he's rolling back all of the previous administration's policies except the one where they stopped publishing how many civilians they kill with drones

not a single iota of the fact that america remains a dying empire is affected in any way whatsoever by the fact that the figurehead for the corporate ownership of the USA has changed, nor will the death throes of said empire in its twilight be any less destructive, violent, or severe.

@mikael you're right! i didn't realize they had a macOS version; this is the one i use on windows and it's good.

afaict there are no good torrent clients for macos

i was going back through old photos, organizing my files (breaking out original photography vs saved internet memes, one of which needs to be categorized by month and year, and the other just by year) and it's startling how much better 2019 was than recent life memory

@josias@theres.life generic. her name is also ursula

@vantablack if someone is close enough for you to stun gun them they are close enough to stab you with something pointy. there are much better tools for self defense. you probably want a ranged weapon.

@ewm@floss.social there's nothing wrong with GA

@ashley overthrow of the state is the speech that most needs protecting

@hund signal is entirely free software, and the service doesn't charge any money. to call signal nonfree is 100% inaccurate, regardless of your feelings on centralization. do not spread lies.
