Don't quote me on this but I think only a pilot was made

I respect Beehaw for striving against all the odds to make a non-toxic space for their users on the internet. They do come across like the the summer of 67 of the Fedi.
That said the communities I've subscribed to are large but the conversations aren't that vibrant.
That's true I did forget the Pentagon building because I'm an idiot
I don't think you can really compare terrorist acts on a tit for tat basis. Two wrongs don't make a right. The last 20 years has proved it didn't really achieve much good for anyone ever, just a lot of bullshit.
Like were the people who died in 9/11 directly responsible for the horrible shit their government did? No.
Why was the attack not on a political building anyway?
I use dark mode late at night, especially using amoled screens under artificial lights or with all the lights off in bed. I don't like using it when I'm outside, it seems off somehow.
I'm a long time vaper, it's got me off the cigs, and I use a reusable tank because it's what I've always used but it's obviously better for the environment and cheaper.
I do support clamping down on disposables because of the waste and these ones seem to be the ones that get into the hands of kids.
However, the whole scare thing about ecigs has always looked like a massive diversion tactic when actual cigarettes are still on sale. I mean it won't happen because it's kerching for the government. But I see literally thousands more discarded cigarette butts than I do vapes round our way.
Breakfast has always been my least important meal of the day... I'd rather have an extra 10 minutes in bed.
I use Surfshark but I expect most of the quality ones offer something similar. Nord and Express often get mentioned as the best VPNs but Surfshark as the best cheap VPN - I'm impressed with it, would recommend. You can even use Chrome on Android and most sites seem like normal, though I've switched to Firefox anyway
(If you are thinking of using a VPN just don't use a free one because they're probably dodgy)
When I was a kid we used to have audiobooks in the car on long car journeys and that was brilliant.
But at some point I lost that part of my brain which can retain information like that because even if I know I'm finding the story interesting, these days I'm more likely to find my mind wandering and thinking about what to cook, other things that need doing and I just can't get it. I think maybe because I'm quite a fast reader it's a bit of a slower pace and my brain is waiting for them to hurry up.
What I do like though on audible is there's lots of dramas and comedies, usually from BBC but not always. So on commutes I'll listen to that sort of thing and it keeps me engaged.
But different things work for different people. I am definitely someone who takes in written information better whether it's reading for pleasure or work stuff
I use a VPN which has an excellent ad & bs blocker. But occasionally some sites need me to turn it off to pay for things or whatever and I forget to turn it back on and end up browsing the internet in its normal state.
And wow... welcome to commerce central. It's not that all the ads are obnoxious though some are, but the quantity of them is out of control on some websites.
To be fair, I've found it's a good rule of thumb that the quality of a website is usually proportionate to the less amount of ads they have.
I also reviewed mobile games for a while and had to play without a VPN to get the same experience most players would get - game ads are the worst. Unrepresentative of the games they're trying to sell, but also often sexist (veering towards misogynistic), obnoxious and with false endings.
I'm actually surprised he's not crossed that bridge. I do find it interesting to have a billionaire that doesn't even bother to pay lip service to being a civil human being but is just a massive racist tool.
But you know what if he met these people irl he'd get along fine with them I bet and there wouldn't be these unhinged outbursts. He's a complete paper tiger suffering a case of being terminally online because he thinks it's his job (it isn't).
Maybe he's taking something either prescribed or recreationally that has him perpetually on a knife edge like this.
Is that a fact? Interesting to know
