Microsoft attempting to force people to switch from Windows 10 to Windows 11 has somehow resulted in a 10% increase in the market share of Windows 7 www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/wi...

Jürgen is correct. Any historian of Germany in the 30s recognizes this language and approach instantly: the "enemy within" consisted of Social Democrats, Jews, Poles, Gyspies and Gays. Their eradication was sought and to a horrendous extent accomplished.

In Nineteen Eighty Four all art for the "proles" is created without human intervention at all because they just feed a set number of scenarios and words into fiction machines and songwriting machines, which then create them and disperse them widely to keep the proles happy and FOR FUCK'S SAKE ORWELL

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

New: landlords are demanding potential tenants hand over employer login credentials so a tool can verify their income. We were sent screenshot of the tool, Argyle, downloading much more data than necessary to approve the renter. "Opt-out means no housing" www.404media.co/landlords-de...

Overheden willen ons meer en meer in de gaten houders, tot AI-scanners in onze chatapps aan toe. Maar wat is wijsheid? We wegen dit niet goed af, met name op basis van steeds zwakkere herinneringen aan de Tweede Wereldoorlog. 1/2 berthub.eu/articles/pos...

Zelfs "digitale autonomie"-projecten eindigen vaak op Amerikaanse big-tech servers. Allemaal tranentrekkende redenen, maar het ondermijnt wel de hele bedoeling: een Europese IT-wereld behouden die zichzelf kan bedruipen. Je kunt je digitale autonomie niet inkopen in de VS! berthub.eu/articles/pos...

Many such cases (we just haven’t found them yet)

Tegenover n kabinet vol politieke waterdragers die zijn beloond omdat ze naar de pijpen van hun partijtop dansen hadden we ook n kabinet vol slimme en kundige mensen kunnen hebben. En oa stikstof kunnen oplossen zoals @frantecol.bsky.social bepleit ipv de leeghoofd. www.volkskrant.nl/kijkverder/v...

The reason they create devices is not to solve a problem but instead to build something that makes you a more perfect stream of data for them to monetize. www.cnet.com/tech/computi...

Also, public services don't need to make money. "Everything has to be profitable" is asinine and something only someone who doesn't believe in or understand the common good would say.

People love blaming "these days" for avoidable problems that were caused by the general incompetence and/or greed of the c-suite class.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

Such bullshit that the back button doesn't work in the YouTube (Android) app just to make you enable search history. I say we burn all Big Tech to the ground and start over from scratch. That is the Big Reset we need.

Wat doen tegen de wannabe-dictators van uiterst rechts? In elk geval niet: als critici preventief knielen en meebewegen. Helaas zien we daar te veel voorbeelden van - ook in Nederland www.groene.nl/artikel/gezo... @groene.nl

Very interesting new polling data: The vast majority of French, Germans and Italians support strengthening European tech sovereignty and incentivising "Buy European" approaches. Another area where European voters are ahead of the policy debate. Source: legrandcontinent.eu/fr/2025/09/2...

one time it started raining and it made cool little rainbow specs on my phone screen so I tried to take a screenshot. I have a postgraduate degree in computer science

theory: 'Deep work' is just what we called normal cognitive function before we broke our brains with notification systems designed by teams of PhDs whose literal job is to make the casino irresistible

At a major "anti-hate" conference a few years ago I was on a panel where I lightly suggested big tech companies were faking their concerns about hate/misinfo. It didn't go over too well. But let the record show that once again I was right. They only care about money. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Ik heb een heel boek geschreven over zelfbedrog en zelfrechtvaardiging, dus ik zou nergens van op moeten kijken, maar ben telkens weer verbijsterd als ik zie hóe ver t kan gaan. Weerloze kinderen laten creperen en anderen moralistisch noemen die dat niet aan kunnen zien. Dan ben je toch van God los.

Heeft er iemand tijdens het sgp congres watermeloen geserveerd? Wat een geweldige actie!

I've been using a Linux phone the past week targeted towards the EU. Here's my experience so far youtu.be/5titW5dclwg

Meta knows its target audience - perverts and surveillance.

Apple has pulled The Savant, its series starring Jessica Chastain’s about hunting down white supremacist cells across America, from its immediate release schedule.

Oh we were on that bullshit well into the 1800s. See St Paul’s of Liège (Belgium), which first commissioned Joseph Geefs to sculpt Lucifer When Joe delivered it in 1842 (real fuckin sexy, etc) the Bishop was like “oh no!” so re-commissioned his brother Guillaume, who… made it sexier

Excellent thread, Josh! Someone once told me that in every shot where Diesel jumps over the camera, they would have to digitally remove his penis in post. Hours of someone’s life has gone into this task.

May every company that surrendered to genocidal lobbyists suffer tremendous financial and reputational loss for what is quite literally a betrayal of humanity.

We really, as a society, have not come to terms with how monstrous the majority of our political class is. To know that global warming is real, to know that the climate crisis is already killing people, and to not give a single shit. What kind of sociopath sells out the future of their own species?

💓 The new U24 mobile app, created to connect supporters directly with Ukrainian military units, has raised over $128,000 in its first month and is already used by more than 12,000 people.

I'm still amazed the best printing experience I have across all my platforms is a tiny app on #SailfishOS. Whenever my desktop, Android phone or Chrome browser barf on some PDF I just sent it to SeaPrint and it just does what it is supposed to do. forum.sailfishos.org/t/seaprint-n...

Gelukkig was er Lubach met eindelijk eens duidelijke taal over die rellen in Den Haag! Heb je het gemist moet je echt even kijken. Ook hoe Heinen werd gefileerd👌Ik had de hele tijd het gevoel dat zijn verhaal bij WNL buitengewoon onfris was, en nu weet ik het zeker en waarom.

I'm glad Kimmel is coming back. However, "free speech" where you can reverse government-coerced corporate censorship but only if your supporters make stock price influencing noise would be like a healthcare system in which you need a GoFundMe to go viral to afford treatment. ... wait.

Extreem geweld met politiek oogmerk en vooraf gepland, en aanvallen op democratische instituties zijn terroristische acties. Geen hooliganisme.

Incredible image. Also incredible that the vast majority of white Christians in this country align with the men in camo.

PVV-hooligans vallen letterlijk hoofdkantoor D66 aan, maar van deze onnozele boekhouder moet je dat niet politiek maken.
