President Trump courageously plans nuclear war to prevent release of Trump-Epstein files

The most rational and well-balanced US president ever, Donaald Trump, is making exciting plans to start nuclear war with Russia to prevent the release of the Epstein files.

In a social media post that was so serious it contained relatively few grammatical errors, Trump announced that he has positioned two nuclear submarines close to Russia because he was upset that Medvedev had trolled him on Twitter. Let's be honest, even the best of us can get emotional enough to end the world after a bad Twitter pile-on.

Trump insisted in an interview that the US is well-prepared for nuclear war, by which he means "all the billionaires have bunkers" and "fuck the rest of you". When the radioactive dust settles, Trump will be a shoo-in for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Hey #running people! I want to share with you my yesterday's find: https://www.plotaroute.com/. The best route finding/plotting service I've seen. Very useful when you want to stick to your running schedule while out in the wilds on a vacation or a business trip.

It even has a working navigation mode! In a browser!

Microsoft Recall can still nab credit cards, passwords, info

The Reg’s testing shows that it still fails to protect sensitive info in many cases, creating a potential treasure trove for thieves.

"Thanks to the Online Safety Act, people in Britain are being compelled to use unregulated age verification tools in order to access content online."

The UK government must “limit the scope of the Act so that people aren’t forced to risk their privacy whenever they go online.”

As age verification blocks porn AND ‘harmful’ content, millions are put at risk.

You probably know these guys already. I really love the bass line of this song—can’t decide if it wants to be rhythm or melody, so it just does both. All the other instruments are lovely but more ornamental.

At the individual scale, self-hosting is not a good way to “be in control of my data.”

It’s like saying I do a vegetable garden to be in control of my food. I need much more than I can grow, it’s an inefficient use of my time, and I’m one bad season away from losing it all.

Resilience and transparency are key to be in control of my data and I can’t achieve this alone. This is a social problem, we need to bring solutions as a society.
