There is a new short domain name for #PuTTY!
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!

As a Meta employee, I can honestly tell you what we know, and I do not know how we obtain all of it.
* Your full name
* Your full home address
* Your phone number
* Your e-mail
* Your government ID
* Your consumer report history
* The name of every family member
* The name of every friend
* The name of their family / friends
* Your marital status
* If you are faithful to your partner
* Your work history (all of it)
* Your education history (all of it)
* Your travel history (going back years)
* Your birth gender
* Your gender ID
* Your sexuality
* Your sexual preferences
* How often you're having sex
* Your partner's details (all the above)
* Your political ideology
* Your involvement with any group
* If you protest, we know
* If you're unhappy, we know
The amount of information we collect on you is insane. And we do it all for supposedly marketing and yes, we help the government since they have access to all this too.
So when someone says they want to avoid META or GOOGLE - respect.

@vkc It is the anti-reading thing that has been developing for a while. There is a section of the population that doesn't do long-format reading, tl:dr, for anything more than three or four paragraphs. If a summary isn't readily available, AI can make one.
@vkc It is definitely the muscle memory thing for me. It is hard to let go of it sometimes, I still want to hit SHFT+F7, then 1 to print a document.
I had to head down the historical rabbit hole; Red Hat ran a version of CDE that was a bit different than the Unix versions until they switched to Gnome as the default
