@ecosiasearch.bsky.social is asking me to upgrade my OS and refuses to run until I do. I have zero disk space for a 20+ GB update, and I'm completely fed up with forced update cycles. Planned software obsolescence is at odds with the 'environmentally friendly' narrative.

It should be a huge scandal that a close confidante of, and adviser to, President Trump and Secretary Rubio reacted to a deadly terrorist attack at a mosque by calling the mosque "evil" and calling for the deportation of all Muslims from America. But it isn't. *sighs*

Via @mfaestonia.bsky.social The Soviet Union was an occupier, not a liberator. This history must be stated clearly. 🧵 1/
