A TikTok alternative called Loops is coming for the fediverse ↗︎
↳ I am quietly hopeful that things like this succeed. Pixelfed is great, no ads, no bullshit. Hopefully loops captures *some* attention from TikTok/Insta Reels. Anything to get people off Meta. — added 6:45am on 28/10/24 ❧
Millennials and Gen X Are Figuring Out What to Do With Boomers' Stuff ↗︎
↳ Tell us more about your bourgeois friends and family. /s — added 6:06am on 28/10/24 ❧
Smartphone buyers meh on AI, care much more about battery life ↗︎

↳ Spectacularly terrible outcome. Fuck. — added 6:09am on 27/10/24 ❧
Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza ↗︎
↳ FAANG’s incessant and radically inhumane backing of genocide, ceaseless support for imperialism, and absolute bullshit stance on *saving the planet* is literally the end of us all. This company, by the way, is practically a nuclear power. — added 12:13am on 27/10/24 ❧
Netflix Wiped Most of Its “Palestinian Stories” Collection — and Erased the Whole Thing in Israel. ↗︎
↳ Digital epistemicide. — added 12:09am on 27/10/24 ❧

Jeff Bezos killed Washington Post endorsement of Kamala Harris, paper reports ↗︎
↳ You might think the billionaires have an agenda. — added 8:41pm on 26/10/24 ❧
“This Is Just Terrorism”: Israel Bombs World Heritage Site in Lebanon, Threatens Major Hospital ↗︎
↳ The grab quote is dead on. Israel is a genocidal terrorist. And with deep and encouraging vitriol western racists see it as an easy way to exterminate non-whites while washing their hands of responsibility (while funding and supplying the whole fucked operation). — added 5:46am on 26/10/24 ❧
Pro-Palestine Students Face Expulsion for Using a Bullhorn ↗︎
↳ I remain honestly gobsmacked at how long they think they can enforce hegemony on this — the state is resorting to violence. I think cracks are showing. Shame so many Americans are just straight up on the Zionist train (have you read the proliferation of violent forum comments straight out of the USA? As sick as the entire Israeli regime). — added 5:42am on 26/10/24 ❧
Gen Z workers are less trusting than past generations, says one CEO: ‘They aren’t afraid to push back’ ↗︎

↳ Eat the rich. — added 5:37am on 26/10/24 ❧

50 years of tax cuts for the rich failed to trickle down, economics study says ↗︎
↳ No? Really? — added 8:46am on 25/10/24 ❧
linux: Goodbye from a Linux community volunteer ↗︎
↳ The way this was done, the potential affects, and the community division already surging may very seriously challenge Linux into the future. This divide and conquer politic sees American empire (corporations) maintain software hegemony in the growing face of a FOSS alternative if we are not careful. Naturally, if maintainers have genuine ties to Putin’s war machine, they must go, but are we really doing whole nationalities? If so can we ban Israel next? — added 6:45am on 25/10/24 ❧
‘Death sentence’: Pacific nations plead for Australia to phase out fossil fuels ↗︎
↳ If we used to care about our neighbours now is the time to return to that. — added 5:59am on 25/10/24 ❧
