The Red

ace people who have absolutely zero interest in sex are so good at nsfw fanfic because they can view sex at a purely artistic and technical level, rather than putting in their own nuances and biases. this is my theory. a porn theory

You think torrenting is illegal. The U.S. Library of Congress disagrees. So does NASA. So did Twitter's own engineering team back in 2010. qBittorrent is the free, open-source, ad-free, no-cloud, no-subscription torrent client that the rest of the internet has been quietly using for 14 years. 37,661 stars. GPL-2.0+. Pushed today. Here is the wildest part: You: "Isn't BitTorrent a crime?" Hollywood: "Yes. We spent 25 years and billions of dollars proving it." You: "So who actually uses it?" Internet Archive: "We do. Millions of files. Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Blender and LibreOffice all ship through us via BitTorrent." NASA: "We host our Ultra High Definition footage on the Internet Archive as torrents." Twitter Engineering, 2010: "We deploy code to our entire datacenter over BitTorrent. We named the system Murder. Nothing else is faster." Facebook Engineering, 2010: "Same." You: "So what is illegal?" Hollywood: "Downloading our movie. Not the protocol. Not the app. Not the seeding. Just our movie." You: "What does qBittorrent cost?" qBittorrent: "Nothing. No ads. No premium tier. No telemetry. Forever." Netflix Standard is $19.99 a month. Disney+ no-ads is $15.99 a month. HBO Max Standard is $16.99 a month. Spotify Premium is $12.99 a month. Google One 2TB is $9.99 a month. Dropbox Plus 2TB is $11.99 a month. That is over $1,000 a year to rent files that disappear when the contract ends. qBittorrent is $0 a year to move any file you legally own, between any two computers you legally own, at the speed of every seed on Earth. 100% Opensource. 100% Legal. 100% Yours. Hollywood spent a quarter century calling this a crime. NASA uses it to ship Mars.

A Starlink terminal was found among the debris of one of the drones used in a terrorist attack in the Luhansk Republic, killing 21 students.

WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?! WHAT IS HAPPENING?!!! WHAT?!!!

The free phone software that wiped itself during a French police raid, got branded a drug-trafficking weapon by prosecutors, and was threatened with arrests and server seizures just landed a deal with a major phone manufacturer. GrapheneOS is the most hardened phone operating system in the world. Android with Google cut out of it by the root, built since 2014 by a nonprofit and a handful of contributors, funded by donations, given away for free. No Google account. No tracking services. A phone that slams itself back into a locked, encrypted state the moment it sits untouched. A duress PIN that burns the whole device the instant someone forces you to open it. In November, French police seized a suspect's Google Pixel and could not crack it. It wiped itself mid-search, exactly as built to, and the evidence died sealed. So the state did what the state always does when it loses. Prosecutors threatened the developers with prison and seized servers unless they cut a hole in it. The project refused to break the locks of millions and tore every server out of the country in a week, ran them to Canada and Germany, and kept shipping without missing a day. Then it gained ground. For its entire life GrapheneOS ran on Google's Pixels and nothing else, and the cartel's whole sneer rested on that, impressive but caged on a single phone, a toy for paranoids. This year Motorola killed the sneer, signing a long-term deal to build GrapheneOS protections into its own hardware and drag the phone out of the forums and onto the shelf. They never come for your privacy by admitting it guards you too well. They come for it wearing the face of the worst man they can find, because a public that will hand over a stranger's phone will hand over its own next. Every phone you have ever owned was sold to you twice. Once at the counter, for money. Then every day after, as a quiet feed of where you went, what you read, and who you spoke to. The second sale is why the supercomputer in your pocket costs less than a mattress. GrapheneOS kills the second sale cold. That is what France was really guarding in that courtroom. The second sale, on every phone, forever. The fence around what a man is allowed to keep private has always been guarded by men who wanted a copy of his key.

No mother should be back at work 6 weeks postpartum. Your organs literally haven’t even fully moved back yet. This country is sick.

twitter didnt let me download a gif so i had to get it myself

wow, that’s really cool that you could solve this problem!

In 2025, after a long battle with depression, 10-year-old Liberty Hall tragically took her own life. She left behind this note for her mother, apologizing, and asking her not to blame herself 💔

And I'm 1000% of the belief that this toxic behavior within current fandom is as a result of how bleak the current state of the world is. Everyone's frustrated and because they can't take their anger out whats ACTUALLY causing their issues they cope by being insufferable online.
