There is a new short domain name for #PuTTY!

https://putty.software/

At present, this is just a "landing page": a nice short name to remember, which will redirect you to the full PuTTY website at the same longer URL where it's always been.

But unlike putty.org or other third-party landing pages, this one is run by us, the actual PuTTY team, and it doesn't have a weird separate agenda of its own.

I intend to move the main PuTTY site over to that domain in the future, and leave just a redirector at the old location. But first I want to get the word out, so that people know which site to trust.

If anyone is still linking to putty.org, here's a place to link to instead. Please spread the word!

Did you know it’s not just two journalists who’ve been shot while covering the LA anti-ICE protests?

It’s many more. They appear to be targeting the press. Trying to silence them. Dissuade them from reporting on what is one of the most important issues America is facing.

Does the country want to submit to a fascist authoritarian?

Or do they want to fight back?

LA has chosen to fight back. And journalists are showing up to cover it. As they should.

Adam Rose is keeping a running tally on a thread on Bluesky. Highly recommend checking it out.

here’s some of the injured:

Ryanne Mena, shot with pepper balls

Sean Becker-Carmitchel, hit multiple times

Anthony Cabassa hit in face with chemical munition

Ryanne and Sean were hit again the next day, with a tear gas cannister

No name has been given but reports of someone from KTLA being hit with less lethal ammo and going to urgent care

Lauren Tomasi hit with less lethal ammo

Nick Stern shot with less lethal ammo and requires emergency surgery

These people were clearly identifying themselves as members of the press

They were there to do their jobs

And at least in the case of Lauren Tomasi, there’s video evidence which appears to show an officer taking clear aim and firing directly at her

Say their names.

Speak up.

The public need to know the risks the press are taking just to attempt to bring truth to the masses.

The Regime have been attempting to silence, sue and throttle the press since day one.

We shouldn’t tolerate any direct attacks on them.

This petition closes in 5 days and still needs another 1500 signatures to force a response. I'm surprised and disappointed this one hasn't gone further; it's well worded and would demand quite a different response to the usual "we left, tough" that most #RejoinEU petitions get.

Many changes took effect at #Patreon today, all devastating to creators' income,especially those of us who rely on Patreon to...not die

I woke up to my income slashed by 28% despite no change in patrons. I'm not alone--all while our economy burns

I'm not sure what to do, but there's a few things 🧵

In other news... manufacturers need to stop replacing sugar in foods with Stevia. It tastes awful and makes the food inedible for many people.

Still dealing with the aftermath of my car being assessed as a total loss.

Without me going into too much detail (honestly, nobody needs to read that story) can anyone recommend me a better insurer than AA in the UK for the future?

I have capacity to accept work at the moment. Bonus points if it's something ongoing and has the potential for real world positive outcomes for people, community, and environment. Particularly those tackling climate change and sustainability.
