It's pretty much having an assistant changing hieroglyphs to the alphabet...


Block connections without VPN is turning out to be as reliable as my self-control at an all-you-can-eat buffet…if I'm not mistaken, these DNS leaks can very much expose where you browse and even your location, which kinda defeats the whole purpose of a VPN (and yes, even with VPNs, Android might still leak your DNS info. If you're really privacy-conscious, you might need to look beyond just using Android or keep your sensitive stuff off your phone)


Hey, if it's tl;dr, my bad. As an introvert, it's no shock I struggle to make small talk or widen my circle. The cultural scene around me just isn't my jam (not a hipster btw, though not a Swiftie either).

The people I meet are nice enough, but nothing deep comes from our chats—not what you'd hope for in a dream social world. What's weird is that so many people feel even lonelier. That's why I started this startup.

Despite today's massive connectivity, what drove me to launch this startup was the realization of how biased, inflexible, and deficient current social tools are.

It boils down to two things: either becoming another like/upvote in a user limbo, being treated more like an audience than active participants, or having to don the influencer cap—which isn't me at all. So, I created Turf. It's still new, but I'm all for gathering as much feedback as I can. We want to give people the great social connections and engagements they should be having all these, all aligned to their favorite things/topics. So if this resonates, pls check us out at: www.turfyeah.com.
