The cover for "Quake", the soundtrack album made by Nine Inch Nails. It shows a semi-circle with the open section pointing upwards, the bottom of it has been penetrated by a nail as if to resemble a "Q". It's all done in a very metallic, copper-esque look.

9. "Quake" (1996, Nine Inch Nails)

One of my favorite soundtracks. It's just incredible. I can still hear the nailgun in the back of my mind as I listen.

the only thing they provided, because everything else is encrypted, is the payment method, which was, foolishly, a credit card.

but people are framing it like Proton are ICE collaborators that share everything with the US, even saw some "might as well use Gmail then". which is mental

The US government asked the Swiss government to cooperate in an investigation, they provided enough evidence to meet swiss confidentiality standards and then the swiss government asked Proton to provide any info they had on one user.

if you need anonymity online, you have to understand the vectors someone can use to identify you. Using a credit card is the most basic possible thing.

no communications nor contacts were delivered because Proton cannot deliver them. They have no way of doing so. That's their product. That's something Gmail would never in a million years do.

Tuta or any other service would comply with the law in the same way. They HAVE to.

The reporting and general reaction to the Proton situation have been outrageous personally.

Any person who convinced people that "just use gmail, is the same" may as well be an undercover cop for the level of damage they're causing.

Let It Burn YouTube video by Written By Wolves - Topic

I always liked this track as a sort of follow up to the song.

"And I know you didn't start the fire. But you saw it, and you let it burn. And you know that's almost worse."

Should've listened the first time

If you're gonna call the carrier that I hope it has a perpetual "mission accomplished" banner

This might be your more scandalous concept yet. I don't know if society is ready

Legality was always a meaningless courtesy, it seems. Looks like they could make anything legal via EO, do it, then stall it out in court

Playing Pikmin using mushrooms

two boxes side by side, one is HRT medication, which contains a red spiral in the box. the other one is Debian Linux installation media, and also contains a red spiral. they're the same. Debian is HRT.

That's why trans sysadmins use Debian.

Windows 17 to be a completely quantic OS able to be good and bad at the same time.

been trying to write my thoughts about it, but found nothing kind to say, sadly. I hope they make some ammends or a follow-up, at least.

Happy birthday!

The cover for "Plastic Hearts", from Miley Cyrus. It's a photo of her with multiple necklaces and gloves, looking at the camera. It's completely tinted pink. To the side, the title "PLASTIC HEARTS" is written sideways. It has a parental advisory sticker too.

8. "Plastic Hearts" (2020, Miley Cyrus)

I quite liked it. I already knew I liked "WTF Do I Know", but decided to give the whole thing a listen. I don't know much about music to give detailed opinions, but I just find it catchy, engaging, and I like Miley's voice a lot. I think it shines here.

A manga panel from the pov a girl looking at her phone. It's showing a social media post from a girl meeting a famous model at a party organized by her dad. There's dialogue around the phone: "So, while I've been suffering at work all day, looks like you've been having the time of your life."

7. "An Undesirable Relationship" (2021, tmfly)

a re-read of an old favorite. that's the stuff. the moment I found out, "Oh. I kinda like toxic relationship stories... maybe too much"

Just incredible work in very few pages.

A YouTube thumbnail. A robot exoskeleton with wired and tennis balls for hands and feet is sitting down against a wall filled with Post-it notes. On the left, there is a close-up of the robot's face, looking menancinly.

6. "I Made A Self-Aware Robot" Web Series (2025, LIGHTS ARE OFF)

Recommendation from a good friend. It's alright. I quite like the beginning, even if the design is a bit much for my liking. The conclusion is a bit cliché, though. There was something there. Still solid.

The cover for "Sweet Heat!" Two female wrestlers struggling against the ropes, a short blonde girl and a taller, dark-haired opponent. They both seem to be enjoying it maybe a bit too much.

5. Sweet Heat! Chapters 1 and 2 (2026, Kosame Hiyori)

YES AHAHAHAHAHHA YES. i needed something like this. I like it so much. It really fills the Teppu-sized hole in my heart.

a title in the super mario galaxy font that reads "I'M TRAPPED IN A SUPER MARIO GALAXY MEME GENERATOR PLEASE HELP"

Today I wish I was anywhere but here. I need to leave so much behind.

4. Mirai (2025, Akira Kosemura)

Hard to put into words. I got transported for a while. Really got me into flow. Another recommendation I really apprciated.

3. Mint Jams (1982, Casiopea)

Recommended by a friend. Really catchy and engaging. Did a bunch of work while having fun. Very enjoyable!

2. Into the Breach OST (2018, Ben Prunty)

A fantastic soundtrack from one of my favorite games. God I suck at this game, God I love just doing my little stupid strat and not bothering to try higher rank teams.

if you wanted to be mean you could assign some meaning to it. like a self-admission that they think facts can't change and reassessing one's belief is never needed.

that's just silly

I'll give a try

if only there was precedent about refusing to offer a service because of personal beliefs 🤔

I've been using it for a while but it's not removing the Subscription suggestions. Recently started asking for premium too.

youtube is now showing algorithmic recommendations on my SUSCRIPTIONS TAB

they really resent you for not engaging with their dopamine slots, for just wanting to get what you like instead of losing control.

I fucking hate it.

i just call him "that fucking guy"
