Yesterday Facebook, discguised as meta, and Meta, disguised as Instagram launched Threads. Threads is meant to be a twitter competitor.

Threads and Europe — Jul 7, 2023 -
The Day Switzerland and Denmark Decided to Ignore the Pandemic. This Isn't Freedom, This is Exposure. — Feb 2, 2022Today is the day that Switzerland and Denmark decided to ignore the pandemic. They and other European countries have decided to lift quarantines, remove the need to work remotely and other such safety measures.

Pi Hole Morality — Dec 17, 2023After several days of playing with a Pi-Hole I both enjoy using it and feel guilty. I feel guilty about blocking adverts from certain websites and sources because I don’t want to impact their revenue streams. At the same time I really want to block ads from two specific sources. Pre-roll videos for Plex, YoUTube and other sites, and video adverts from iOS games.... -
