this was mildly irritating (maybe even sometimes amusing) before 2022 but now it's fucking infuriating.

Testament just released their new album, Para Bellum. Way better than Brotherhood Of The Snake and Titans Of Creation, as they've toned down the black metal experiments (not fully though) and we're back to Bay Area thrash. It might replace Dark Roots as my second favourite!

DHH controversies aside I really don’t understand the hype around omarchy it’s an Arch install script that comes preloaded with soy and reddit like ok cool

My weakly-held opinion on DHH's political ramblings: as far as my political views are from his, freedom of speech means he can express non-extremist views, including right-wing ones. Open-source, like workplace, has and will have people from different parts of political spectrum.

Facebook once bought a VPN app for $120M and turned it into a surveillance tool that spied on 33M+ users' entire phones for years. This app helped Zuck buy WhatsApp for a whopping $19B and break Snapchat's encryption. Thread

"bloodshed" has left early access recently. it's a combination of vampire survivors (most mechanics, including autoshoot) with a retro fps (aiming, dodging). climate and aesthetics are very close to "blood". hits a combo of dopamine releases i never knew could be combined.

Migrating from Twilio's Authy -- because it refuses to run on my Onyx Boox Note Air 3C, despite the system being unrooted and secure -- to Bitwarden Authenticator and I already love the latter. Syncing the 2FA keys in Bitwarden Vault is *chef's kiss*. (FIDO migration alongside)

Kilmar Abrego Garcia's wife has to deal with the nightmare of knowing she may never see her husband again, and now she's had to move her three kids - two with special needs - to a safe house because the US government published her address.
