At the veeeery bottom of Apple's towering infero of half-truths is the lie that developers *owe Apple* for it's generosity in building a way for folks to build software for iOS.

This is *ludicrous*.

Apple would fund build SDKs and distribution mechanisms *just to make the iPhone viable*, regardless. And every thinking person knows it. The fact that this is only being chipped into relief one court finding at a time just shows how thick they've laid it on, and how pliant the tech press are.

Joe Eskenazi: It's great for the people of San Francisco that the president has capriciously decided to unsend the troops he capriciously decided to send. But the real story here is, per the president's summation of his discussion with Lurie on social media, that the Commander-in-Chief is overtly stating that he is basing a domestic military deployment upon what local "friends of mine" (billionaire CEOs Jensen Huang and Marc Benioff of...

#ISPConfig unter #Debian13 und #PHP84 ist schon ein wenig tricky. Aber jetzt läuft es auf dem @hetzner #cloudserver.

Trotzdem wäre es schön, wenn es für #ISPConfig3 ein passendes Update gäbe.

If someone had said “if Trump gets elected, he’ll literally bulldoze the White House” just a year ago, everyone - right, left, and center - would have told them to shut up and stop exaggerating.

There's an image going around that is the back of a $20 with the demolition in progress, and every time I see it my finger hovers over the share button, then I think, "there's like a 90% chance that this is 'AI' crud and not a Photoshop" and I die a little inside and do not share.

This is what they have stolen from us.

@jimray @anildash I think that framing has it a bit backwards. The *entire* reason this tech exists, and has essentially all of the available capital invested in it despite paltry revenue, is that it’s seen by wealthy dullards and psychopaths as a chance to destroy the value of creative and knowledge work; to enclose the “commons” of upward mobility through science and education (both of which they’re also actively working to destroy). It is anything but normal. https://circumstances.run/@davidgerard/115415020604832127

What I'm seeing, what I fear, is that most liberals are fine with a police state so long as they get to run it.

These issues are absent in the #NoKings movement because it has attracted the type of people who historically have not had the state turned violent against them.

When a tech CEO says he's going to eliminate crime, who do you think he's targeting? Historically speaking?

And here we are. We are a proper police state, ruled by corporations, and placated by neutered politicians. And while Trump has thrown fuel on the fire, his exiting does nothing to extinguish it.

The counterpoint is, of course, that the work can continue post-Trump era. But we know—and the Biden presidency proved—that's a fantasy.

We went from protesting against humans in cages to making excuses for it.

We went from defund the police to giving our police forces record breaking budget increases.

We primaried our progressive candidates, elected DINOs, and gave democrats a pass on virtually all privacy and police militarization issues.

I wouldn't go so far as to say #NoKings is a waste of time and energy. But it is a misdiagnosed movement.

Independent of Trump's efforts is the police state and Corporatocracy lead by big tech. These are terrifying issues that will outlive Trump by decades.

When you center a movement around one man, instead of systemic change, you'd be fooled into believing we won when that man is gone.
