Never seen a goober-flange before?
The majority don’t learn that the only reason we have a weekend, 38 hour work week, maternity leave, sick leave, annual leave, severance, OHS, etc etc is because workers fought, and died, for all of them.
The state and corporations worked together to crush labor movements, using both the police and military, right up until they were passed into law. Apple won’t do shit about this unless it impacts image/profitability.
Moreso the US oligarchy stealing tax payer funds and funneling them into the military industrial complex; using the guise of “aid” to conceal the reality.
I have zero doubt when we’re told “the US is the biggest supplier of foreign aid” much of that “aid” would make the average citizen feel the opposite of pride.
If you think this is common, especially in the Philippines, you got mental illness.
Conservatives around the world are waging a last ditch effort (as always) on behalf of the fossil fuel oligarchs — against cleaner, cheaper, democratized, renewable energy generation.
They don’t want you to be able to power your home and car with the solar panels on your roofs. They want you to pay their cronies; a centralized generator, dependent on finite resources where all mining operations are also under their control, who can dictate the supply and demand of energy… meaning they can dictate the price of everything in society from the top down; the way they do with oil and all other fossils.
As far as numbers go, it’s definitely a number.
Work program = surveillance statism?
It sounds like all it would take to destroy the predatory for-profit publication oligarchs is a majority of the top few hundred scientists, across major disciplines, rejecting it and switching to a completely decentralized peer-2-peer open-source system in protest… The publication companies seem to gate keep, and provide no value. It’s like Reddit. The site’s essentially worthless. All of the value is generated by the content creators.
Lol, so
a) the far right are opposing this, and you’re dumb enough to believe their lies.
or
b) the far right are silent or supporting this, and you don’t care.
Sounds like we got ourselves a big brained fascist!
95! Fuck time flies. Sadly he’ll exit the world with it in a far worse state than when he was most active. I’m quite confident that the same will be true for all who read this, whenever that might be.
Opt-in should be mandatory for all services and data sharing. I would start my transition to Linux today if this were opt-out, though the way Apple handles this for other services makes me believe opt-in will be temporary.
Currently, when you setup any device as new, even an offline/local user on macOS, the moment you log into iCloud it opts-almost-every-app-and-service-into iCloud, even one’s you have never used and always disabled on every device. There’s seemingly no way to prevent this behavior on any device, let alone at an account level.
Currently, even though my iPhone and language support offline (on-device) Siri, and I’ve disabled all analytics sharing options, I must still agree to Apple’s data sharing and privacy policy to use Siri. Why would I need to agree to a privacy policy if I only want to use Siri offline, locally on my device, and disable it from accessing Apple’s servers or anything external to the content on my phone? Likely because if you enable Siri, it auto-enables (opts in) for every app and service on your device. Again, no way to disable this behavior.
I understand the majority of users do not care about privacy or surveillance capitalism, but for me to trust and use a personal AI assistant baked into my devices OS, I need the ability to make it 100% offline, and fine grained network control for individual apps and processes, including all of the OS’s processes. It would not be difficult to add a toggle at login to “enable iCloud/Siri for all apps/services” or “let me choose which apps/services to use with iCloud/Siri, individually”. Apple needs stronger and clearer offline controls in all its software, period.
Even if it were just a thing, Apples implementation would be limited and inflexible, so I’d probably use an app anyway.
Anything to maintain the insatiable status quo of increased growth, consumption, and profitability while stretching all expenses as thin as possible.
Lucky! I finally got my mum to use the password manager I admin, but she still reuses the same dozen passwords for everything and manually enters them in… sigh. I’ve set strong passwords and 2FA for all critical accounts, so I just let her be a moron with the rest of them.
Computers break her brain. She literally responds with questions like “it’s IN the computer?” Zoolander style. I just do most of her shit myself because it’s less painful than trying to teach her.
Isn’t “democracy” great under capitalism?
Corporations have established fake judicial systems to steal our money, behind closed doors, over profits they were never entitled to, and people still believe they’re “free” — all while the same perpetrators are actively killing the only place we can survive in the known universe, and setting up all current and future generations for a life of suffering.
And people believed they’d escape the days of power-tripping mods by exiting Reddit.
At least with the festive there are no alternatives.
We’re a cancerous parasite, destroying our host.
My face when it turns out every multinational corporation is run by criminals.
That’s what happens when you reward criminal behaviour with wealth.
Unless the landlord emails you stating “I’m evicting you in retaliation for x”, it’s almost impossible to prove.
The working class has been crushed by neoliberalism for 50+ years and there’s still no justice in site. The oligarchs that control “democracy” know there’s a high chance they’ll remain insulated from all the suffering they cause. They are so confident in this their goal now is to remove the illusion of democracy.
