@juanjosaurio @GossiTheDog ads showing before the actual product you searched for is a great idea.

@ehemmete @marcoarment 👆🏻I have no interest in using Reddit instead of visiting Marco.org (via rss…)

@killick @dangoodin I wouldn’t come back until the management that did all of this is removed

@dangoodin cancel. They don’t give a fuck what anyone says they’ll do.

Every union that worked on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, and works with Disney, Sinclair Broadcasting, and Nextstar should strike. Just shut it all down. No one’s jobs are safe when corporations put appeasing fascists over workers and their constitutional rights.

@lapcatsoftware 🙏

@midtsveen @tom even worse, the bread maker approves of using Boar’s Head products but nothing from a local farmer’s market

@wadiest @gknauss @siracusa agreed. The trajectory Apple has been on for the last few years has me looking at Fairphone and Framework for my next devices

@gknauss @siracusa it’s crazy how quickly it went from “just buy AppleCare when you get a new device” and Apple gets an extra $100+ per device almost without hesitation to now I wouldn’t recommend AppleCare to anyone…

@siracusa @ParadisePete having to subscribe to a warranty instead of devices coming with more than one year of coverage is the real problem here

@imyke ooo, very excited for this one!

This is #healthcare in the #USA

A #doctor argues for approval for a procedure with a #UnitedHealthcare hack

She posted it on social media and is now blacklisted by #UHC and she had to sell her house and get a lawyer, they're ruining her career over this video:

If you live in the #US dont get too mad- your blood pressure will spike and your healthcare sucks because you're just "a little person" and your moronic country prefers you to just die

@methodphoto @atpfm @marcoarment Tim Cook is a person with agency, not an AI programmed to blindly run a company. His duty is whatever he decides it is, and it appears he’s decided that he’d like to directly support a fascist regime because it’s the easier solution than resisting and it makes him more money.

@methodphoto @atpfm nah, @marcoarment is right. Stop excusing this behavior as what needs to be done. It doesn’t.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security today released a new ICE recruiting poster, under the stilted and sexist tagline, "Which way, American man?"

Why did they use that weird language? Because it's a dog whistle, something ordinary humans won't notice but that those attuned to it will respond to. And it's literally a Nazi dog whistle.

William Gayley Simpson was a Presbyterian pastor who decided Christianity wasn't workable and consciously decided to become a racist instead. In 1978 he published a book, "Which Way, Western Man?" – a manifesto calling on white men to defeat all other races. Some nuggets include:

"Let me preface what I am about to say by declaring frankly that I am prepared to accept violence on the part of our people. The Jews’ hold on our throat is not going to be relaxed until we break their grip. Hitler felt that he had to take to the streets. All normal approach to his people was barred. Today, we are confronted with much the same situation here."

"The point is to reveal organized Jewry as a world power entrenched in every country of the White man’s world...."

You might think that 1978 is too long ago for anyone to remember, but this book was republished in 2003 by a neo-Nazi group called the National Alliance, and is a bestseller among neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups.

In other words, the federal government is recruiting Nazis and other racists to join ICE, which is being deployed in cities across the country and arresting both citizens and non-citizens alike.

Folks, this literally is fascism. You think I enjoy posting this stuff here all the time? I don't. But this literally is fascism. They're literally following the Nazi playbook. And they'll follow it to the very end.

Unless we stop them.

@atpfm @marcoarment is entirely correct about Cook and it’s insane that people keep excusing his behavior.

So what are everyone’s excuses for Tim Cook’s behavior this time?

Wake up. He’s an overt Trump supporter, and has been the entire time.

@viticci Apple is going to destroy the public opinion that they’re good at design with this release

@stroughtonsmith now imagine how nice it would be if they spaced out the tap targets more by having it go all the way to the edges of the display.

@w7voa so uhh, how about that first amendment
