New Gist: Age Verification is an Epic fail
On Bluesky's introduction of age verification, selling us to the Fortnite guys, and how the arrogance of Ireland's regulator has seen it deliver the very outcomes it once called "bonkers".

As someone who studied modern history and lives in Germany while being Dutch, with a family history of resistance during WW2, make no mistake. The money Trump feeds to ICE means that he is creating the US version of the German Nazi SA, also known as #BrownShirts. Today they go after supposed illegal immigrants, tomorrow they will go after anyone who doesn’t fit to whatever weird version of supremacy The Leader wants.

General reminder:
The domain name putty.org is *NOT* run by the #PuTTY developers. It is run by somebody not associated with us, who uses the domain to interpose advertising for their unrelated commercial products. We do not endorse those products in any way, and we have never given any kind of agreement for PuTTY's name to be used in promoting them.
Please do not perpetuate the claim that putty.org is the PuTTY website. If anyone is linking to it on that basis, please change the link. The PuTTY website is https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ and it always has been.
You can check this by downloading the source code, which cites that URL in many places (the README, the documentation, some strings in the actual code), or by using the "Visit Web Site" menu options in the official Windows binaries (the ones signed with my personal Authenticode certificate). The true PuTTY website is the one that PuTTY itself says it is.
Many search engines list putty.org above chiark. I don't know if this is due to active SEO on the part of the domain owner, or a heuristic in the rankings. Either way, don't believe them. It's not our site.

less file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt
Use `:n` and `:p` to go to the next/previous file.

The original Sound Blaster sound card had a picture of a parrot on the screen and a text window where you could interact with it.
I would start up and say “Hello there, I’m a talking parrot, please talk to me.”
