This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode the deficit.
3) Demand cuts to Social Security and Medicare.
4) Repeat.
Don't let them get away with it.

I want to mark this as #humor but it’s actually sage advice so maybe it is #introspection or #LifeHack

I really dig this song. It is about as close to liking country as I get. “Nothing Breaks Like the Heart” by Mark Ronson and Miley Cyrus #music #MileyCyrus #MarkRonson #CountryMusic #PopMusic https://tidal.com/track/99633215

I’m not a huge fan of country music either, but I really love this one — “Fast as You” by Dwight Yoakham

Those are nice too. In thumbnail mode on my phone the second one looked like Wil Wheaton but obviously doesn’t sound like him lol. Another country artist I like some of is Orville Peck.

We need more android apps. The numbers speak for themselves when you factor in world wide numbers. That other OS loves to focus on North America. But when you leave the confines of that continent, or Oceania, the market share leader is clear. I'm using Tusky which is good but a bit lacking in its feature set. IMHO. Fedilab is OK as well. But a little rough around the edges. I know....its early on in this migration. We'll get there.
I hope so because there are some changes needed. Hoping to dump the bird but cant without marketing abilities.

Hi, I had to take it a step further.
Here we are with SMS/iMessage now working on a Macintosh 512.
This machine is from late 1984 and only has a 400k floppy drive and doesn’t have enough RAM to handle MacTCP. But here we are :D

When macOS spots a Windows computer on your network it uses a beige screen with a blue screen of death from what looks like an easy 90's VGA screen to represent it :)

I know this is supposed to be funny, but it reads more like, "Oh, we noticed someone on your network can't afford a Lamborghini, so we thought we'd make fun of them for you. Isn't it funny when people are poor? Hahaha..... fuck them poor."
It was "jokes" like this that made me stop buying Apple products when iPhone and Android were still toddlers. There was a lot of snobbery from Apple, and it made people who couldn't afford iPhones buy iPhones.
Having been poor, it's not funny.

@babylontales the computer was an i7 Dell with Thunderbolt and USB-C which costs the same as a macbook it’s more a commentary on windows not being Unix than on rich v poor if you ask me, but then I don’t work for either co. so what do I know 🤷

Jeff Bezos says he plans to give away the majority of his ~$117 billion net worth during his lifetime.
That’s nice, but can I let you in on a secret?
Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity. It’s PR to distract you from low wages and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

yup. i always thought it was bullshit when bill gates said the same thing. he could do more good, much more, by disrupting the economics of tech than by what he's doing now.
what if he hadn't tried to wipe out netscape, and instead supported wide innovation by tons of small companies and individuals. weird thing is he would have made most of the money that way too.
it's a Mr Burns move.

Good to be somewhere that gets the value of maintaining access for third party apps.
Users who pay for the apps to get a better
/ more custom experience for an otherwise free service are what keep innovation going.

To mark the anniversary of the first Lego patent (which happened today in 1958), let's look back at one of many experiments involving some assorted minifigs and focused sound-wave energy: https://trib.al/UQkxbpv

#Twitter has been filling feeds with a continuous stream of voices, creating the illusion that the room is full, when many people have already left.

Twitter is taking Tesla with it. One can only hope survielance issues on Elon's satelite phone system will reduce the numbers of people willing to be watched by the South African Emerald mine owner while doing business. Twitter proves he has no respect for customers, or privacy, or contracts.

•— they don’t know the definition of insanity, which is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result
— it’s about the grift and the quid pro quo, where they skim the money or reap the donations from the 1% and corporations
Either way, it’s not good for the American people
