Welcome to the new McCarthy “Red Scare” era. I guess we call this the “Not White Scare” era, then? This was posted on Twitter by the #DHS. I am disgusted on so many levels. #civilrights #humanrights #StopTFG #StopICE #EndFascism #EjectTrumpNow thehill.com/homenews/…

There is one brain sickness that can’t be fixed by mere herd immunity: stupidity. It’s not that stupid people take over, but that smart people are suspending their critical thinking skills in response to a social climate that rewards doing so. #uspol #TFG #fascism www.youtube.com/watch

We have a strong, clear, empathetic voice in Neil deGrasse Tyson, and we risk losing him if #America continues down the path being carved into our #government by #ElonMusk & #DOGE and supported by #TFG. The cuts being made are saving squat. #science #uspol #NASA www.youtube.com/watch

See? It is THIS! THIS crap that should give us serious pause about the rampant blood fever gripping #capitalism over #AI. Are we ready for AI-powered #malware? No. We can’t even deal with the human-powered kind! Embrace the open web. Boycott capitalism. #tech #security www.axios.com/2025/03/1…

#Apple has rolled out a surprise update for #macOS #Sequoia for 15.3.1 to 15.3.2. This appears to be a #security patch for #Safari to secure a previously patched exploit that hackers have likely found a way around. Mr. Macintosh details the update. #tech www.youtube.com/watch

Not surprising. #Microsoft makes tons of money from #advertising and #ManifestV3 helps facilitate that. Extensions like uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, and other ad and script blockers actively eliminate revenue streams for them. #tech #internet #capitalism tech.slashdot.org/story/25/…

There is no question that, if there isn’t one already, we need a #ProtestTracker. Or even just use the hashtag and post images and videos from these protests. Share our frustration at the outrages of #TFG and Co since the MSM won’t. #uspol #news #protests kottke.org/25/02/004…

The #UK’s #surveillance apparatus creeps from the void like Cthulhu hungering for a midnight snack. Note that in this order it is #unlawful to reveal to the public that they’re doing it to us… and I mean us because that power extends outside of the UK. #dystopia mjtsai.com/blog/2025…

Unfettered, uncontrolled, unregulated #Capitalism is essentially crime since they do what they want, say what they want, harm whomever they please, break any laws they choose, and are never held accountable. Those who help them are criminals, as well. #ai #piracy #books arstechnica.com/tech-poli…

The one thing that repeated #security breaches clearly indicates is that none of these corporations really know WTF they’re doing. Either that or they don’t care. I’m 50/50 on which. I can’t be the only one getting really sick of this crap. #tech #capitalism #cars yro.slashdot.org/story/25/…

I was once hyped on #Microsoft. #Windows 7 and 10 were great, they had new ideas like the Surface Duo and a renewed focus on gaming. That Microsoft’s now gone and they’re now on the #AI hype train. Ugh. Come SteamOS, I’m finally done. For good. #tech arstechnica.com/gadgets/2…

Ugh. More #Microsoft bullshit to deal with. This is a few days old as I’m catching up on my news feeds but is important to know if you’re one of the unlucky ones using #MicrosoftEdge on #Windows 10 or 11 (or just 11 in general). Switch to #Linux or #Apple already! mjtsai.com/blog/2025…
