+1 for Porkbun. They even offer $2/yr <6–9 digit>.xyz domains if you just want a domain for basically free and don't care about having a nice and pretty one. 01384629.xyz or whatever for $2/yr to give their service a try is well worth it imo. I have one of these as well as a "real" domain I like that's like $20 or $25/yr. I have no complaints with Porkbun.

Why did this need an ai generated image to go along with it I'm so sick of seeing ai everywhere
Whenever I get sent a link to a social media post in discord, I use a third party tool to embed the content. tiktok.com → tnktok.com for example
To anyone wondering, this is from 2019. There was a nest above a bunker and ants continually fell in through a vent and couldn't escape. Since there was no way out, cannibalizing each other was the only food option, and it was a good option in terms of new ants falling down the vent often enough that the trapped population of worker ants grew. When researchers installed an escape, the ants left and the carcasses left behind had marks that indicated cannibalism, thus how we figured out what had gone on.
That character is called a thorn and is pronounced as a "th" sound. It's from Old English and fell out of use iirc, but some people like to use it
Holy moralizing and bad faith presentation from that takedown you linked. I feel like you have to be primed to dislike the guy going in to take that thing seriously. By the end of the essay they were straight up lying about DeVault saying he "bans projects he personally dislikes" which is obviously not what happened to those who read the linked SourceHut TOS change.
Almost the entirety of that takedown is "this guy likes drawn loli art oooooo how DISGUSTING how REVOLTING we just HATED meticulously cataloguing every image he tagged on a booru site but we HAD to look at all this loli porn that we HATE so we could put this dossier together." I stg these people are all closeted enjoyers of the stuff they run moral crusades against.
Also hilarious that the anonymous author complains about DeVault writing an anonymous report on someone else as a point of contention in their anonymous report on DeVault. These people are so unserious.
Mfw context

Some protestors stormed the palace (and were stopped and subsequently tortured in detainment) so we should disregard every other instance of tens of thousands of protestors over the past several years. I am very smart.
To anyone who wants to read up on the protests instead of listening to a tankie lie about details and vaguepost about astroturfed protests, Wikipedia is a generally good place to start that cites its sources so you can follow up on details you're interested in:

Not sure if the subject in the original post is the same as my situation, but I want to share this from last night:
My dipshit tablet-addicted father was complaining last night about not being able to tell what's ai and what's not. "Illian Omar [sic] has been fired every day for the last six months. She's still there." Him being misled by ai videos about the scary brown woman getting fired from Congress when she actually didn't led him to say that social media needs to have some kind of fact checking for what's real and what's not. Same guy that's anti fact check because "who fact checks the fact checkers" or whatever. These people are such a fucking joke I can't believe I have to share a country with them.
If by "globalists" he means Jews, then obviously he's just being insane. But there is an underlying truth here if he means "capital". The legal and financial systems that the world is built on have been set up by international capital interests. Trump didn't destroy any of it, not really. Throwing a wrench in things with tariffs and such, but that's about it. Billionaires and CEOs still have lavish dinners at the White House to court special treatment. Capital interests are still influential in politics. If you want to overturn all of this and build a better society, then you do have to convince people to believe in good ideas, but I have a feeling your MAGA father's "good ideas" are not, in fact, good ideas.
