I’ve been seeing more and more leftist journalists (is there any other kind of journalist? They’re all leftists) whining and crying about how awful Substack is. If you don’t know what Substack is, it’s a platform that allows people to publish newsletters that users can subscribe to. By “subscribe” I mean “pay for”, so they’re…

It really is. Part of the problem is that these days, so many people use mobile devices like smartphones and tablets. I know I do – I love my phones and my tablets. I use them every day, sometimes all day (when I’m unemployed, that is). So we’re all used to using apps. Social networks…

So Mozilla posted this: We need more than deplatforming | The Mozilla Blog There is no question that social media played a role in the siege and take-over of the US Capitol on January 6. Since then there has been significant focus on the deplatforming of President Donald Trump. By all means the question of…

At first, I thought this was sound advice. But as we’ve seen with Gab and now Parler, not to mention what happened to Laura Loomer and the leader of the Proud Boys (both having their Chase bank accounts being shut down simply because they were Trump supporters), this advice is complete and total bullshit. So…

So the biggest buzz in the gaming world is the release of The Last of Us Part 2 and how horrible it is. Before I continue, I just want to note that I have not played The Last of Us or its sequel. That doesn’t mean I don’t know about it – it’s a fairly…

So, as promised, I’ve put together a guide to various Mastodon clients available on iOS and Android. Sadly, the developers of at least a couple immediately blocked Gab once it went live, so you won’t be able to use those. There are others, however. Since I am most familiar with iOS, we’ll begin with those…

I was arguing with a couple of asshole leftists on a subreddit about Walmart when the_donald, a pro President Trump subreddit, got ‘quarantined.’ So what does that mean? Well, it means that the admins of the site basically isolate the subreddit (you can’t see it on your main page, and it doesn’t show up in…

I still have a Facebook account, although I rarely use it.  But I just finished watching this video by the peerless Tim Pool, about Facebook’s upcoming crypto-currency Facebook. I got really angry at Milo and Laura Loomer on Parler earlier today, (crazily) ranting about how they just need to get over being banned by FAcebook,…

Oh my god, I am already annoyed. People on both platforms are slating the other – people on Gab saying it’s a honeypot set up by the left, and people on Parler saying Gab’s a cesspool of anti-semitism and nazism. I am proudly on both platforms and I’m already sick of this stupid shit. This…

I don’t miss everything about the Internet of the late ‘90s/early ‘00s, but there’s a lot to miss about it. My family bought our first computer in 1996, I think. It was somewhere around there…between ’95 and ’97 at least. I know we were living at Eglin AFB when they bought it. Anyway, ever since…
