  • “Twitter should be the global town square”

    “free speech absolutist”

    “make humor great again”

    “leftists are snowflakes”

    Sure, he doesn’t force anyone to use Twitter. It’s still unfortunately the de facto communication platform for a lot of government agencies. It’s still an important tool for the world. Let’s hope some large governments (EU? Please?) grow balls and leave Twitter alltogether…

    This is absolutely newsworthy and worth being upset about.















  • Tbh anyone claiming they can’t see the difference between 1080 and 4k on a monitor at a normal viewing distance is being disingenuous or has vision problems. The difference is very very noticeable.

    That being said, I find the step from a 60hz to a 120hz monitor a bigger qol improvement than going from 1080 to 4K. But that’s my personal opinion.



  • Tbh, if you’re that nervous about crossing the border with data, I’m sure you could find other ways to use the internet and decent encryption (behind multiple layers and/or people with a Deadman’s switch if you’re really paranoia and worried a judge will force you to unlock the precious 4mb worth of information) to protect your data when crossing a border.

    Or probably even safer if you’re talking about just 4mb of data: send it from a random address in one country to a postbox in your destination or something by post. Tampering with mail carries a pretty heavy fine in most countries, chances a random postman opens a random envelope to a random address abroad are basically non existant. Security through obscurity.

    I like reading about infosec, but some of it borders on absolute paranoia tbh :)
