Going on 4 years with my Amazon boycott, so I guess I’ll just… Continue as usual

Well that was a crazy read. Never seen a company act this way before. Sounds like a very small operation. Unfortunately their products don’t appeal to me at all, I’d much rather buy a Framework.

These power hungry tyrants just can’t STAND the idea of normal humans being able to communicate without their prying eyes spying on us. They claim this is for the purpose of protecting the public. This is plainly not true, as crime will occur regardless. They cannot eliminate crime, despite their outrageous claims, nor do they actually want to. E2EE comms will be used to plan crime sometimes. Sorry, not sorry. Privacy is worth that cost. I’ll die on that hill.

Hence, if the data is not on someone else’s computer in the first place, it is not a matter of time.

The solution is to stop putting your data on other people’s computers. You can’t control other people’s computers. Apple does not care about you any more than any other trillion dollar corpo. Take back control.

The word “antisemitic” is being misused in a disgusting way here. The victims of the Israeli genocide are also a Semitic people.

Landlords are parasites. The rest of us are expected to work for our money. Landlords simply use their capital to absorb wealth from those without capital. Free money for no work. It’s disgusting.

That looks fantastic and I want some.

Bread and circuses. Stop consuming this meaningless nonsense.

May be IS

Fixed that for ya

Oh please. Warrants are rubber stamped, it’s as simple as clicking a button. And do you really think entities like the NSA bother with formalities like warrants?

as Chinese law allows government access to company-held data.

… Kind of exactly like how US law allows government access to company-held data?

Isn’t the failure rate on the F 35 like WAY higher than previous fighters? Oh well, at least Lockheed got that sweet, sweet contract, right?

But-but I was told Apple’s security was the very best! That’s why they charge so much for everything they make, right? … Right?

Can you share the jailbreak?

They’re only useless if you assume their purpose is to protect or help the public in any way. That’s not what they are for. The system is working as intended.

Abandon Google. I’ve been slowly extricating myself and it feels wonderful. Soon I will have an entirely degoogled phone.

2nd and 13th are all they care about.

“Cruisin” is no longer a thing

That’s not the case in much of the rural US. In small towns (~30-75k) everywhere there are kids driving up and down the road every Friday and Saturday night.

Fun fact: It doesn’t even meet Apple’s own standard for text contrast!
