Clowns have it backwards. Instead of empowering workers to make better things, to receive better education and actually become a force in this modern world, they are empowering employers so they can exploit them more. It’s like their government has a collective IQ of 6 (+/- 3). You just can’t make up this level of stupid.

You can’t. That’s how activation lock works. You need to bring the owner to the Apple Store some random letter won’t suffice. It’s bricked.

It’s always the ones you most suspect

I feel the same when celebrities use their “platform” to generate donations for a cause. It’s like you made $100m on your last movie, gave $50k and got the other $1.5m from just regular people.

Yet most are like “yes but good still happened” and I’m like yes but by that logic, I could take 90% of your paycheck and say, “yes well you still made 10% which is way better than nothing!”

Moreover, who gets all the credit and publicity? Yup, the celebrity. Not Joan Lam from MI who gave $50 and makes $45k a year.

They had to. You don’t fuck with China. Whatever they say goes. But yeah, “China forces distributors to pull…” just doesn’t have that incendiary clickbait ring to it.

The same BS my last employer was droning on and on about when he forced us all back because “collaboration”!

He spoke about “zoom fatigue”, which isn’t a real thing btw but that’s another matter entirely, and how being in the same building was better for us as a team.

The amount of collaboration it spark was exactly how many fucks I give about Zoom.

I mean even IRL, people talk so much crap who knows what’s actually true. Imagine if we locked up everyone for what they say. The “film industry” is insulting for even trying to push people into guilt by nothing more than what they type on a website.

Apps also provide the developer with way more data collection as websites only get a sliver of access that apps get. Mostly, LI wants your contacts.

There’s a reason we have an ongoing class action suit stretching back decades against LI and their invasive practices.

They have always been one of the worst social media companies probably scummier than Fb.
