We need more books, computer games, and movies set in a post-apocalyptic world, but the fuel finally ran out, the mad maxes all killed off each other, and the society is recovering and rebuilding. Where is the action then, you ask? Well, we follow the adventures of one of the many teams of people who search for billionaire bunkers and cleanse them of automated security and the skeletal remains of the billionaires themselves.

General reminder:

The domain name putty.org is *NOT* run by the #PuTTY developers. It is run by somebody not associated with us, who uses the domain to interpose advertising for their unrelated commercial products. We do not endorse those products in any way, and we have never given any kind of agreement for PuTTY's name to be used in promoting them.

Please do not perpetuate the claim that putty.org is the PuTTY website. If anyone is linking to it on that basis, please change the link. The PuTTY website is https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ and it always has been.

You can check this by downloading the source code, which cites that URL in many places (the README, the documentation, some strings in the actual code), or by using the "Visit Web Site" menu options in the official Windows binaries (the ones signed with my personal Authenticode certificate). The true PuTTY website is the one that PuTTY itself says it is.

Many search engines list putty.org above chiark. I don't know if this is due to active SEO on the part of the domain owner, or a heuristic in the rankings. Either way, don't believe them. It's not our site.

@Wyvernsridge As an American, I endorse this message.
@Wyvernsridge I'd rather visit Cleveland than anywhere in the South or Idaho and Montana.
@IveyJanette @Wyvernsridge I’d rather visit Copenhagen than Cleveland.
Or Calgary than Idaho.
Or Canada Bay, NSW than Montana.

@canleaf @Wyvernsridge ANYWHERE but Florida!

I'd rather go back home to Los Angeles than visit Orlando.

@Wyvernsridge as a black Floridian, I approve of this message.
@Wyvernsridge
Try Martinique. The beaches are way better.
@Wyvernsridge It also needs to be Alt texted, I think.

@Tooden @Wyvernsridge

[Prohibitory symbol] STOP TRAVELING TO AMERICA.

It’s not safe β€” and your tourist dollars are funding fascism.

IF YOU’RE NOT AMERICAN:

  • Stay away. This is not the country you think it is.
  • Detention camps are being built faster than shelters.
  • Rights are being stripped faster than laws can be challenged.

IF YOU’RE AMERICAN:

  • Stop going to Florida.
  • They built a concentration camp in 8 days.
  • Thousands of people are being detained β€” not for crimes, but for existing in the wrong ZIP code, for speaking the wrong language, or for not having the right paperwork.

Instead of housing the homeless, feeding children, or funding healthcare… they’re building cages in the swamp.

DISNEY ISN’T WORTH IT.

THE BEACHES AREN’T WORTH IT.

YOUR DOLLARS SHOULD NOT SUPPORT FASCISM.

DON’T BE A TOURIST IN TYRANNY

@Wyvernsridge florida is not America. Flawridah IS Archetypal murrica, however.

@gentlegardener @Wyvernsridge

I think no one would be surprised to learn there are thousands of "pocket Florida's" all the freak over the US.

@Wyvernsridge If you're thinking of visiting #Hawaii, please remember: a) We're as blue a state as it gets, with zero Republican representatives in Congress; b) Our state government has sued the administration multiple times and stands in solidarity with #immigrants and #trans folks; and c) If you spend as many of your travel dollars as possible with local businesses, you're helping us #resist.
@BruceMirken @Wyvernsridge You still need to pass federal CBP and customs. The czars can call the ICE to every of the US entitΓ©s like US VI, American Samoa…
@BruceMirken @Wyvernsridge While I can identify with the pain of seeing good people in the industry hurt (my circles are museum and art folks in a red-run purple state, one of whom relocated from HI), nearly everything I see from indigenous Hawai’ians the last fifteen years has been begging tourists to stop coming to Hawai’i. I have worried that eventually there’d be a hard crunch on that economy sooner or later. This may be the chance for a slowdown transition instead.
@cwicseolfor @Wyvernsridge It's a little more complicated than that. There's a vocal faction that wants tourism gone, but roughly 16,000 native Hawaiians work in tourism-related industries, per state figures. Many of us of all ethnicities wish we were less dependent on tourism, but we need something to replace it.

@BruceMirken @Wyvernsridge

Visit New England...we have blue states, but ya still need to get through whatever bullshit awaits you at the airports.

@Sfwmson @BruceMirken @Wyvernsridge And at Landcrossing you are also at risk. Not just airports. As much I loved Maine.

@Wyvernsridge

@yinwolf
This is the reason I said you can't come visit. I promise it's not that I don't want to see you. It's that I don't want you disappeared!
For your own safety... STAY AWAY!

We can see each other again after the fascists are removed. Until then, we have the internet.

@Wyvernsridge

Good advice. Catchy bottom line: β€œDon’t be a tourist in tyranny”. 😐

@Wyvernsridge it's worth translating this to French and German and maybe Japanese. I lack the skills.
@the_turtle just did the Spanish version. Now on for the other languages [thanks for the idea!]
@Wyvernsridge harsh watching America self implode. When card carrying Democrats are pistol whipped and hog tied, protecting due process, the dream of Dr King’s speech evaporates on the tear gas of masked white men once again. But just try and make me go sit on the back of the bus, Amazon.

@Wyvernsridge Disney World isn't worth it under any circumstance.
@Wyvernsridge Reposting with alt text.
@oheso @Wyvernsridge people from Canada are American but oh well...
@Quenti @oheso @Wyvernsridge people should always come to Brazil (also in America)
@Quenti @oheso @Wyvernsridge No, they're not. Words can have different meanings in different contexts; in this context, "American" obviously refers to the USA.
@denisbloodnok @oheso @Wyvernsridge change obviously to "wrongly". Canada is in the american continent. End of story.
@Quenti Wrong, because as just discussed, words can have different meanings in different contexts.
@oheso @Wyvernsridge "Detention camps are being built faster than shelters".
Surely,
"Detention camps are being built faster than shelters are being torn down".
@oheso @Wyvernsridge
Come to Disneys in Paris, if you really want to see Disney. For people from Europe it's nearer anyway.
@oheso
And if you're Floridian, either leave or take advantage of your state's gun rights.
@Wyvernsridge
@oheso @Wyvernsridge honestly, how do I approach this if someone from Canada wants to visit me. I don't know how to tell them I'm interested, yet worried for their safety....
@LeatherCubAndrew @oheso @Wyvernsridge Advice them not to come. The border isn't safe for anyone.

@madjo I will let them know using that framing. Thank you.

"As much as I would love a visit from you, I am concerned about the horrors committed by my country at the border and would be concerned for your safety"

@oheso @Wyvernsridge

@oheso @Wyvernsridge @GeofCox

Sorry, but this is BS!

In UK they arrest 80+ years old lady and pastor for supporting Gaza. In Germany they send the robocops if you tweet a mime of a politician. Should we stay only in our basements? And what are the stats? How many arrests for 10000 visitors?

@Wyvernsridge

> β€œthe beaches aren’t worth it”

the west coast has red tides, the east coast has seaweed harboring flesh-eating bacteria

@Wyvernsridge It's not safe to come here for any reason. They will search your phone when you arrive and if you have something they don't like on there, they will unlawfully detain you.
@Wyvernsridge I live in Florida, and I support this message.
@Wyvernsridge This country is safer than it has been in years and it's THANKS to the removal of criminals. Quit being so dramatic.
@JakobFel Oh! an actual MAGA acolyte!
@JakobFel @Wyvernsridge As a foreigner tourist, you have a huggggeee target on your back. What if mate, you are declared illegal by the iCE? A society in fear of the ICE is not safer. It is much more dangerous these days with Nazi thugs.
@Wyvernsridge
The poster forgot "being the wrong color".
@RealGene @Wyvernsridge
Wrong gender, wrong love preference, not all hotels booked through, wrong stopover via Hongkong, wrong images, wrong texts.
@Wyvernsridge @annecavicchi It IS the country they think it is, actually. Signed: Australian now living in the US.
@Wyvernsridge In Germany we say about that: #Aussieland 🦘instead of #Amiland πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ, #Ahornland 🍁Instead of #Amiland
@Wyvernsridge When I was much younger I used to fantasize about being an american citizen, I guess because of the US' total cultural dominance during the '80s in my country--when you turned on the TV there was a good chance an american tv show was running.
Now I can't even imagine going there for tourism, let alone to live. eww.
@dukeboitans @Wyvernsridge Even Texas was moving toward progressive in the 90s, because that’s what the people want, so it probably wasn’t wholly a delusion of media. It existed, but it’s been dismantled.
Seeing pictures sometime in the later aughts of Afghanistan in the 70s hit hard for me, because by then I’d been fighting a well-funded, increasingly overt clawing toward fundamentalism here for over a decade. Whether public will turns out to mean anything is yet to be seen.

@Wyvernsridge Mind editing this post to add the complete missing all text?
@Wyvernsridge which country from America continent are you talking about?
@Wyvernsridge I allready stopt going to the USA in 1998. I also visited other parts of America like Canada and Brasil. What is wrong with that?
@ximaar @Wyvernsridge
The United States of America.
They call themselves America and Americans. In Canada, I’ve never thought of us as part of America, but rather part of North America.
