What do these corporations all have in common?
-Lockheed Martin
-Palantir
-Microsoft
-Amazon
-Comcast
-Google
-Apple
-Meta
-HP
-Nvidia
-T-Mobile
They all have lucrative government contracts — and they're all donors to Trump's $400M ballroom.

Damn he was bang on the money. Even referring to ’content’ and progressively shorter format information communication. Written in 1995!
I re-read Contact on a farm in Sicily a couple of months ago, where I could just sit on my own in the night looking at the stars. His writing was special.

So… every single word of this is now true. We are now in that world.

My personal GOTY game award this year would be split 33.33% each between E33, Hades 2 and Silksong.
Was pure joy playing them all, so much that I got Platinum (on Steam) in all of them.
Blue Prince is also fun, although not done with it yet. Puzzles keep unravelling like an onion even after R46.

Here’s my breakdown of EA’s pending sale… to Saudi Arabia… and why this is much, much bigger than video games. I’m late to this from a ‘news’ perspective obviously, but it’s because I worked on this video for about a month.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Bluesky's "moderation" was already awful & is now unacceptable. Everyone should be calling for @bsky.app's leads & safety team, including & especially @jay.bsky.team & @aaron.bsky.team, to resign immediately. They are, at best, incapable of effective moderation, & at worst, facist sympathizers.
Bluesky moderation is absolutely out of fucking control right now just absolutely arbitrary politically motivated suspensions and bans. No explanations. No adherence to terms of service. It’s literally impossible to know what we are and aren’t allowed to say.

Google is building a giant, dystopian wall around the Android garden.
Over the summer they quietly stopped releasing the source code for "Vanilla" Android, slowing GrapheneOS to a halt.
Now this.
Soon, being able to manage your own files on your own smartphone will be a luxury of the past.

Apple stores which devices/users install which apps. They have the device IDs. US government could obtain a list of people who installed the app if a court authorized it. Not clear what they mean by having to storing device IDs. Those IDs aren't accessible to Android apps.

Sorry, there will not be an Android version because there is no way to provide 100% anonymity. Each person's device ID would have to be stored and that information becomes discoverable should the government issue a subpoena.
Only iOS made this possible and completely protects the users.

“Surveillance pricing,” or as it’s sometimes called, “personalized pricing,” is another way for corporations to pull one over on you.
Here to explain how it works (and what we can do about it) is former FTC chair Lina Khan. https://youtu.be/-cbtUYshYM8?si=GGq_tBcBaIR3_Wby

Andor nails it — Many of Nazism's earliest supporters ended up in the camps. The man who wrote 'First They Came For' was an anti-communist Minister who cheered the incarceration of socialists. The poem is a warning about the dangers of supporting authoritarianism that you think works for you.
