"sideloading" is a stupid made up term invented to delegitimize installing software.
Heres a bunch of other things I'm doing while "sidestepping" some supposed central authority:
- sideshopping (buying stuff from a store that isn't amazon)
- sidedining (eating or making food that isn't from mcdonalds)
- sidethinking (using my own brain instead of asking chatgpt)

This is bc of the end of de minimis, which meant you didn't have to pay tariffs on anything under $800. I know I am personally excited to familiarize myself with harmonization tables, deal more with FedEx, and learn the difference between various acronyms.

If you have a hobby, your new hobby is tariffs logistics

Brighton FC bans fan for wearing Palestine shirt

Brighton and Hove Albion FC have banned a season ticket holder for wearing a Palestine shirt.

Roger Wade, founder of @Boxfresh, has been banned from Brighton & Hove Albion for 5 games for wearing a Palestine football kit.

A ST holder for 10 years, he was pulled out mid-game with no explanation. Instead of dialogue, the club sent him a ban letter. @OfficialBHAFC pic.twitter.com/onqe2r4L51

At half-time during the Brighton FC v Fulham game on August 16, stewards asked Roger Wade to leave the hospitality section of the stadium, with no explanation.

Social media users initially speculated that stewards removed Wade due to wearing a football shirt in the hospitality section of the stadium, which most clubs ban.

However, he made it clear that he covered the shirt with his jacket, whilst in hospitality. Additionally, when the club responded to his complaint and issued a five-match ban, they did not mention this.

Here is Mr Wade’s formal complaint to Brighton regarding the incident, along with the club’s response — which makes no reference to the required dress code in Hospitality, nor cites it as the reason this fan was removed. pic.twitter.com/B4fyE8TenM

Brighton FC: double standards?

Previously, people had reported Tomer Hemed, a former footballer and academy mentor, for inciting violence against Palestinians online. He posted photos with Israeli soldiers during a genocide.

Back in October, many of us reported to Brighton, @FA, and @kickitout that former footballer & academy mentor Tomer Hemed was inciting violence against Palestinians online, even posting photos with soldiers in the midst of the genocide.

No action was taken. https://t.co/wf0Dvr7pvv

— Leyla Hamed (@leylahamed) August 25, 2025

Journalists like @richimedhurst were arrested in the UK for reporting the truth on the genocide in Gaza.

Now we have an ACADEMY MENTOR at a football club openly calling for the killing of children, men, women, elderly in Gaza.

What are you going to do about this? @Keir_Starmer pic.twitter.com/Ful0mbK2yd

Are the footballing community more triggered by a football shirt than war crimes?

Absolutely baffles me that this guy gets a 5 game ban for wearing a shirt, but the club turns a blind eye to hemed calling Palestinians human animals and that they should die a death of suffering https://t.co/J2FDUMMNXw

Blood on his hands

The majority owner of Brighton FC is Tony Bloom – an ‘English sports better, poker player, and entrepreneur’ who has his hands in many Zionist pies.

News that @OfficialBHAFC – owned by Tony Bloom (a @JamTarts‘ minority shareholder) – has banned a fan for wearing a Palestine top should anger many, but surprise no one. 🧵👇 https://t.co/bcLgojEeMa pic.twitter.com/rCaPD4ncvs

— Scottish Sport for Palestine (@ScotSport4Pal) August 25, 2025

Bloom has injected £2.4 million into Israel.

Since 2019 – through his foundation alone, he has injected £2.4 million into Israel.

This does not include his support of other Zionist organisations, including @CST_UK, the ‘authority’ on antisemitism in the UK which serves to police pro-Palestinian activists. pic.twitter.com/RJgJ28aLqx

ATTN all hams within the sound of my voice...just about two weeks to go until the Second Annual Ham Radio μExpo at Cal State University Channel Islands, brought to you by the #BoredNetGroup. Everyone's welcome, it's nothing but a hangout for hams to show off the stuff they like to do. No vendors. No industry. No charge for attendance. No charge to exhibit. Six bucks to park a car.

Our first year turned out to be a blast, and I expect it will be this year too.

I don’t think the intrinsic thesis of “technology can accelerate the impact of non-profits (or gov) that wants to do good) is wrong or broken. But COVID + rising home prices meant many experienced tech folks left the City of Boston. Seaport and Kendall Square may seem like tech hubs but as far as I can see and tell most of the people going into the office are working in product management, sales, etc. and the individual contributors in tech are working from home.
