Nothing screams "RESPECT!" as loud as the fear of physical violence.

Epic CEO Tim Sweeney says tech leaders are 'pretending to be Republicans' [also Dem] to gain favor with Trump, skirt antitrust laws, and ultimately 'rip off consumers and crush competitors'
When Tim fucking Sweeney calls you out on your bullshit, you know you're a special kind of piece of shit.

Can you summarize this in a vertical video? I stopped reading after the third word, I'm here for memes, not to read a damned book!

Sadly look at email. Technically you can host it yourself but if you're not one of the 15 or so big providers, good luck not being marked as spam before you even do anything.
The real problem is with the oligarchy controlling everything, service or protocol. This is why Threads was/is dangerous.

Mandatory self-reflection hours
As a person that has been using en-dash and em-dash for years, this is annoying me as hell that they are used as a telltale sign of AI slop. I'm just a typography nerd, not AI!

As if! I'm sure lots of neurodivergent people would disagree with half of these points.

Supporting nazism is quite illegal in many places. In Germany for sure.

Holocaust museum LA retracts their recent statement saying "Never again can't only mean never again for Jews" to support the Israeli Holocaust of Palestinians
I guess them being a holocaust museum doesn't need to imply they are against it. Good to know who they actually are.

They can just charge €10/mo like every other company does, for example Netflix. They can't offer it as an alternative to the "freely given consent". It's not freely given if the alternative is to pay to not give this consent.

Go vs Rust learning
Reply in thread
Go is like that abusive partner that gives you flowers and the next day makes you feel like shit. Then another day you go to an expensive restaurant and you tell yourself that maybe it's not so bad and they still care. And the cycle continues.
Rust is an autistic partner that sometimes struggles with telling you how much they care, is often overly pedantic about technical correctness and easily gets sidetracked by details, but with some genuine effort from both sides it's very much a workable relationship.

It's probably very much failing according to the corporate metrics of infinite growth. Good!

EU threatens to fine Meta for saying Facebook is ‘free’
Reply in thread
Only as long as there is also the third option: having nothing to do with them. With Facebook's tendrils and tentacles spread across 90% of the Internet, this is not really an option, even if you never ever visit their actual website.

Is there a community where I can get news about technology as in science, as opposed to "drama involving tech companies"?

‘As if we don’t exist’: Under bombs in Lebanon, Americans feel abandoned
At first I really wanted to say "good, now they are treated the same as the Lebanese people living alongside them" but no, that definitely isn't "good" by any real measure of this word. I hope this whole tragedy will stop soon.
