“Trump upped the ante on his annexation taunts saying the only way for Canada to avoid his attempts to torpedo the economy is for the country to ‘become our cherished Fifty-First State.’”

I’m sorry but what does a president have to do these days for it to be perceived as a declaration of war?

Tech bros are living, breathing embodiments of the false authority fallacy; claiming that their professed understanding of basic logic qualifies them to reason expertly upon every conceivable topic while conveniently ignoring a fundamental maxim of their purported core area of expertise: garbage in, garbage out.

Nice. Now will IBM, who helped him with surveillance technology, be held accountable also or will they get off scot-free like they did after helping Hitler carry out the Holocaust?

(Spoiler alert: it’ll likely be the latter.)

Just cancelled our Streamyard subscription and deleted our account.

The asshats automatically switched us to a plan that was 2× the price (from ~$44 to ~$88) with a single email’s notice and no authorisation on our part and when there was a new plan that almost exactly matched our current one with almost exactly the same features.

By the time I clocked on, they’d already charged us for several months so I wrote to them explaining that what they did was wrong and asking them to refund us the difference in the plan costs and place us on the plan that was almost the carbon copy of the one we were originally on.

They refused. And admitted no wrongdoing.

Finally, they offered a one month refund.

So I accepted. And now that it’s safely in our account, I just cancelled our subscription and deleted the account. I have a very fucking short fuse for asshole unethical American startups thinking they’re so bloody smart for fucking you over.

Anyway, beware of Streamyard. Not sure if they’ll pull the same shit again but I’m sure they’ll pull some other shit some other time.

Happy 10th anniversary to Spyware 2.0 – the video we released at the launch of Ind.ie (what is now Small Technology Foundation¹).

Have we learned any lessons in those ten years, I wonder.

Here’s hoping this message is easier to get across given Tesla is just one company and Elon Musk is cartoon villain levels of evil.

I can’t say I’ve had luck getting folks to understand this for Big Tech in the last decade. Maybe we wouldn’t be here if we had made Big Tech socially unacceptable.

But, instead, it was “I know lots of good people who work there” and “you’re overreacting”. In the end, prominent folks (in the web community, at least) decided that rocking the boat wasn’t in their own best interests and that it was easier to attempt to make those criticising a toxic system social outcasts instead of those perpetuating it for profit.

Maybe it’ll be different now that we can all see the boat is sinking. I won’t hold my breath but I’ll also hold my breath, if you know what I mean. Because I wouldn’t put it past them to continue to simply rearrange the deck chairs. https://hachyderm.io/@inthehands/114111304532776871

Oh man, if Europeans think what the US is doing to Ukraine is bad (and it is), wait till they hear what they’ve been doing to Palestine. Wait, what? They already knew? They didn’t give a shit? Worse?… They were (are) complicit?

No, say it ain’t so! But European Values™…

“During the arrest that took place on Saturday evening, when Khalil’s attorney Amy Greer told the agents over the phone that Khalil had a student visa, they said it was revoked by the State Department. Greer then told the agents Khalil, who graduated from Columbia in December, was a permanent resident who held a green card, they said that was also revoked.

The agents confronted Khalil and his wife as they entered their apartment building, which is owned by the university. They threatened to arrest Khalil’s wife, a U.S. citizen who is eight months pregnant, if she didn’t go to their apartment, Zeteo reported, and, according to Greer, they refused to tell her why her husband was being detained. When Greer demanded to see a warrant for Khalil’s arrest, the agents hung up on her, according to Zeteo.”
