Cornelius-Bell, Aidan

Elon Musk Is Committing a Crime—but It Doesn’t Matter Because He’s Rich ↗︎
↳ Funny how this gets media attention. So often the criminal activity of the oligarchs is overlooked, even justified in mainstream news. — added 7:49am on 30/10/24 ❧

The real threat to refugees like me is politicians who give the green light to neo-Nazis ↗︎
↳ Rising permission from politicians to be xenophobic and racist is a serious problem. Fuck them and their blame of the disadvantaged. — added 7:31am on 30/10/24 ❧

Michelle Obama Asks Men to Please Not Fuck Us Over ↗︎
↳ Enjoyably engaging headline — trump and vance are the worst kind of misogynist. The American system is designed so deeply to enforce a 2 party system — and what does the liberal populace do the rest of the time the dems are in? Nothing to change the status quo of course. — added 7:14am on 30/10/24 ❧

Robinhood admits it’s just a gambling app ↗︎
↳ The entire stock market is gambling. It’s just protected and socially endorsed gambling for the ruling class. When any of “you peasants” do it, though, it’s gambling. When “we royalty” do it, it’s “strategic capital growth”. — added 6:41am on 30/10/24 ❧

A capitalist stranglehold on “artificial intelligence” ↗︎
↳ Hey, this is an alright read… — added 6:38am on 30/10/24 ❧

I Don’t Know Why Women Keep Laughing at Me When I’m Out Driving my Tesla Cybertruck ↗︎
↳ Sure you don’t. — added 9:52pm on 29/10/24 ❧

EU to Apple: “Let Users Choose Their Software”; Apple: “Nah” ↗︎
↳ *sigh* as someone still leaving the “almighty ecosystem” Apple’s abject refusal to open to third party stores or web based installers is really the killer on mobile. Not to mention the AI “features” rammed down your throat (though plenty of that in Google land). — added 6:52am on 29/10/24 ❧

The open secret of open washing – why companies pretend to be open source ↗︎
↳ Propaganda from megacorps? Say it ain’t so! — added 2:37am on 29/10/24 ❧

Feds Say You Don’t Have a Right to Check Out Retro Video Games Like Library Books ↗︎
↳ Of course the capitalist cannot make money when the thing is not owned by a publisher - “go and buy a modern game, peasant”. — added 6:59pm on 28/10/24 ❧

Australia rejects visa application by rightwing US pundit Candace Owens ↗︎
↳ Ha. A good decision from our government for once. — added 4:32pm on 28/10/24 ❧

Trying to reverse climate change won’t save us, scientists warn, counting on new technologies to cool down the planet comes at a cost ↗︎
↳ Mmm. Not technology. Revolution. — added 9:07am on 28/10/24 ❧

James Robinson, Nobel laureate in Economics: ‘You cannot achieve an inclusive economy with an authoritarian regime’ ↗︎
↳ The economists (a fake science) are so close to being right, but have to keep justifying their own existence. The authoritarian regime *is* the economy. Capitalism is the virus, not Chinese communism or American democracy. Capitalism. — added 6:50am on 28/10/24 ❧

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 ↗︎
↳ Almost like the privacy invasion was disproportionately hyped beyond belief. — added 6:02am on 28/10/24 ❧
