This photo has a sort of nostalgic feel to it. On that chair, in that ‘office’, half a decade ago I made almost all my videos (maybe 80% of them) and published a lot of high-impact articles. It’s also where I kept myself safe or sheltered from COVID-19 for nearly 4 years (eventually my wife and I both got infected) after leaving the gym/spa. Many things we thought might last forever came to an end. Coronavirus was the “trigger”.
Months after I left that ‘office’ I also quit my job (I had planned to for years already) and in August of the same year we moved Tux Machines to an SSG that we had developed.
Remember: nothing lasts forever. Explore change.

‘ve just realised that it is a lot worse than I thought for the narcissist who chickened out of his own hearing. Their letters give away their weaknesses, however it’s veiled and disguised as some kind of “strength” or “virtue”.
How much more money are they willing to waste to cover up what they did for the two Americans?

he closer we look at where we stand, the clearer it seems that millions spent trying to silence us were wasted and cannot be recovered.
Of course Techrights is a community site (I did not start it), so this is a win for the community and for freedom of the press.

Something seems missing, no?

am not an accountant and I don’t pretend to be one. It seems to be like someone tries to duck obligations or delay them by several months.

ianne’s birthday is 3 weeks away and I am so happy that she is managing to find happiness not in wealth but in simple things. Health comes from good sleep and sleep requires a calm mind.

am seeing sharp increases in food prices and this news headline from yesterday helps explain a key factor: Britain could face food shortages as drought continues, farmers warn
My dad asked me about this yesterday. Everyone can see the increases, but many politicians focus on something else.
Yesterday we purchased a great deal of fruit. It’s considered vital to organs’ function and it has gotten exceptionally expensive until or unless one knows where to find a good deal (either in bulk or as standard).
For people who are poor, a healthy diet is priced out of reach.
For more and more people food banks have become a necessity. If we have homeless people and many empty homes, our society is failing. If we have billionaires and people who are hungry, our resources and not distributed properly…

“Generally, the idea is that proactivity (a strong offensive action) instead of a passive attitude will preoccupy the opposition and ultimately hinder its ability to mount an opposing counterattack, leading to a strategic advantage.” -Wikipedia
few weeks ago we took everything up another notch and we’re nowadays able, or so I hope, to produce better articles (not just more of them, quantity is never the sole goal). Judging by considerable growth in traffic, this is paying off and we’re even getting more whistleblowers to offer us more exclusive “scoops”. This year our main challenge is keeping up with all those “scoops” and finding a way to cover them all in a timely, impactful fashion.
The desperate acts seem to have backfired spectacularly. As a friend of mine put it yesterday (we spoke in person near Openshaw), we have nothing to worry about anymore because it seems clear that the other side is already acting out of sheer desperation and it cannot escalate any further. Worse yet (for the other side), the death threats are being investigated by another investigator now. Maybe this can culminate in the arrest of the fraternity of lawyers, a notorious clique from London’s SLAPP industry. They keep self-incriminating in a number of ways each time they send threats and demands mirroring the illegal communications sent our way.
Their principal client has, evidently, become increasingly irrelevant (social control media posts without any “likes”, not even one blog post per month) and maybe lost his job because he thinks burning effigies of living humans is pleasurable.
This week we have several surprises coming. Stay tuned.
