i cancelled my mullvad @mullvadnet (via tailscale) and so are you.

If you don't want your Mullvad fees going to fund neo-Nazis - or @mozilla VPN fees, which is rebranded Mullvad - cancel and get a refund immediately

that's whose "free speech" the official account is talking about here, and that's where your fees go to

EDIT: Mullvad has a 14 day refund policy. But the message below is a direct call to ask for a refund if you don't want to give money to Nazis.

If Mullvad refuse a refund, call your consumer protection agency. And reverse credit card charges on the basis of deceptive refund policy representations. It's not like you ever want to be a Mullvad customer again.

@mullvadnet @astro @lostgen
I'm ready for my response now.

the breeders “pod” is one of my favourite sounding records ever. the recording and production are just phenomenal all the way through. and that’s on top of the amazing music and performances.

That's absolutely sad to read. The CEO of @mullvadnet is not only financing the far-right Swedish Örebro party, but he even is their main financer. 70+% of their money is his donation. He is the reason why they go nationwide this year.

For obvious reasons i cease to trust this service. Also i do not finance parties that aim for forced deportations.

Oh wow, this is legitimately great policy: https://www.reddit.com/r/StreetFighter/comments/1uf2xkl/comment/otokvvb/?context=3 (via Audrey Watters' Second Breakfast)

The products of AI are unintentional approximations, therefore, AI generated content is off-topic.

That principle applies to so many contexts.

half way through antibiotic treatment… what i can only describe as a “heroic” dose. the usual side effects, like extreme fatigue. but also a fun one that i didn’t even know was possible — night terrors. extra fun. five more days.

bodies are disgusting and amazing and beautiful and what we are.

Hasbro is asking child actors on the Peppa Pig animated series to sign over their voices to AI under new contract terms. https://deadline.com/2026/06/peppa-pig-hasbro-child-actors-ai-backlash-1236967142/

Misanthropic discourse (eg, “humanity is a plague,” “humanity is unevolved”) is just the logic and aesthetic of racism turned towards the entire species.

I started using PCs in the mid 90s, so much of my aesthetic is informed by apps of the era. Very passive and unopinionated. They were tools that waited for your instructions and did as they were told.

Microsoft was probably the company responsible for the first apps I encountered that broke this, imposing someone else’s vision of what my experience should be, reconfiguring my computer without asking, popping up unwanted tips, making me go through guided flows with limited options.

What I want from software:
- only do things I ask it to do
- not do things I didn’t ask it to do
- the same inputs should always produce the same outputs
- do not artificially prevent me from using the software how I want (though confirmations before destructive actions are welcome)
- use the design language of the host OS and keep visual flourishes minimal
- give me rich configuration options to customize my experience if needed and reasonable defaults that work for most users

guys new investment strategy just dropped.

the secret word of the day: overwhelm

anyone who sees that softbank presentation (the one that looks like it was made by a coked up 22 year old finance bro) and thinks "i'm going to invest, this is awesome" is going to get exactly what they deserve.

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@thomasfuchs/116811059392793692

How is this going for companies who are now paying more for computers, bleed money for expensive AI subscriptions, while meanwhile deskilling their own employees? All for a grand total of no productivity improvement?
