It’s just the headline for this one. The rest of the article is more serious and less ironic.
You can try playing with Arkenfox, installing uBlock Origin, fiddling with about:config, and giving yourself an aneurysm…
…or you could try Mullvad Browser. It’s a fork of Firefox, co-developed by Mullvad and The Tor Project, with impressive fingerprinting resistance (according to Cover Your Tracks). It’s like Tor Browser without Tor.
Also, install NoScript. It helps a lot.
Looks like it is. I had noticed a few Mastodon and Misskey instances blocking poa.st, but I didn’t realise it was the same as poast.org.
Good thing there are other instances now!
My HP’s hinge broke, too. I had to pack the entire back of the case with putty in order to fix it, and it’s still not quite right.
I know. I’ve worked with it myself, and I once accidentally inhaled a small volume of it.
A-Level chemistry, innit.
HCl‽ Jaysus…
Well, I often just do a bank transfer or card payment. I’ve tried to use Monero, but I’ve had trouble getting ahold of any crypto without selling my soul to Guardarian.
American flag checks out.

I have a few machines, which run:
Some distros I tried but did not like were Pop!_OS, Slackware, Zenwalk, Freespire, Redcore, Fedora Atomic, ArchBang, and antiX.
Sone distros I’d like to try are Qubes OS, Clear Linux, CRUX, Kwort, Paldo, Exherbo, NuTyX, T2, Chimera, Adélie, Frugalware (no new ISOs since 2016, but the packages are still updated), Dragora, Parabola, Hyperbola, PLD, KANOTIX, Calculate, ALT, ROSA, and AUSTRUMI.
The reasons I have not yet tried these are mostly down to my limited hardware and the complexity of some of the distros. With others, it’s often down to WiFi drivers not existing for my proprietary cards. And then there are also a couple of distros from Russia, which I feel I can’t trust at the moment.
Last I heard, the CCP did a bit of social engineering and got a load of TikTokkers to post videos in juggalo makeup in order to retrain their facial recognition software.
I don’t recall if it was successful, but it happened.
That’s far too good for AI. It has to be photoshopped.
It’s an old program that converts between .deb (Debian), .rpm (RedHat), .tgz (Slackware), .slp (Stampede), .pkg (Solaris), and LSB packages.
I don’t use it much, but it can be handy in a pinch for installing software that isn’t packaged for your distribution. Just don’t use it for anything low-level or that’s already packaged natively, or you’ll break stuff.
You could try running the .deb through alien(1p)
, although it can be hit-and-miss if the package has a lot of scripts or dependencies.
Oh yeah. Once they made it public instead of invite-only, it really took off. It got even better once Jack Dorsey fucked off back to Nostr.
Not sure if it’s quite as big as the Fediverse, but there are some nice people on there.
