A transferee from Reddit. Also the person who does those imgur meme dumps.

So (not so) fun fact: Keffals, who was targeted by KiwiFarms for being trans (yes that’s all) and got Swatted. She then went to stay with another streamer (EllenFromNowOn) in Northern Ireland. Just for information sake, Northern Ireland is still a bit rocky security wise, Police there still carry guns on the regular. So when she went there, Ellen called up the police and explained the situation to them (they had never heard of Swatting weirdly enough).
Sure enough, someone found her flat, posted her address (with a message referencing a Unionist Slogan, Ellen was from the Catholic Community), and sure enough, the police came. Instead of raiding her all guns blasing (which they normally would) they saw the warning, knocked on the door, saw nothing was wrong, called off the squaddies, and came in to basically make sure everything was okay.
Bare in mind, this was in Northern Ireland, a place where the Police still drive Armored cars and have regular riots, and they handled this better than the Police in London, Ontario.
It’s not really a long story. This was back when I really got into Vaporwave and got nostalgic for OS 9 because of it, so I got sheepshaver and set that up, figured out how to get this song onto it and play it through Quicktime for the A E S T H E T I C.
A lot of effort for a shitpost.
I started out wanting to do something akin to System 7, ended up using Platinum 9 (which emulates OS 9).
I did install an Emulation of OS 9 a while back for a meme (long story) but doing this was a great practice in Nostalgia, even if it was just for a single post.
We’re all going to be so smug.
Forgot how horrible KDE looked in the 2000s, thanks for reminding me, also thank god it’s 100% better and looks and feels amazing.
Lindows is literally an insult in linux spaces.
I say this a lot but get Firefox.
Damn straight, Browsers shouldn’t deal with social justice issues, they should deal with working to destroy minorities lives and enforce fascism, narking on the browsing history of those who deny the status quo. /s
Yes you can but why would you not use the terminal. It’s bloody handy.
OK so if you want my advice, if you wanna just try distros, use DistroSea. Let’s you try out distros in your browser. But here we go:
Fucking based.
Obsidian is amazing and more people should use it.
I mean…yeah

Oh there’s several ways, especially if you have poor opsec. People used to raid people’s twitch accounts and bring down their internet connections by looking for their username on Skype which had a vulnerability which they could use to find a person’s IP.
For swatters on the otherhand, they tend to either know the streamer themselves or they tend to be groups like KiwiFarms who are a lot more organised and do a lot of research and detective work, like looking at the video, looking for usernames elsewhere, looking for emails, and looking for location clues. It’s really fucked up. They found Keffels’s Motel by the sheets in her room. It’s bad enough if you do not think about these things and just have sloppy OpSec, but even if you do, they can still find you.
