I had to make a "Politics" list and move some follows over to it because my Following timeline has not been good for my mental health. To the point my wife is concerned that I seem tired or depressed all the time...this also happened to me in 2017. Gotta dial it back like I had to back then too 🫠

Holy smokes, Affinity Photo, Designer, and Publisher are all now just a single app, and it's FREE? This is seriously great news, it might get me to switch back from Pixelmator Pro 🤔
Yessssssssssss! I had a sneaking feeling they may do this 🙌🏻

Affinity (now all three apps in one) is FREE 🤑

No restrictions, other than the AI tools (that nobody wants) only being available to Canva subscribers.

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.”

It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”
America... boy, I dunno.

At Authenticate, @iamkale.millerti.me, @nishantkaushik.com, and I decided to mix up the usual "Passkeys 101" and cover common misconceptions about #passkeys. Topics around cloud sync, phishing resistance, workforce usage, and concerns about vendor lock in.

RIFs can’t be done without agency leadership so this is RFK Jr extending his purge of CDC scientists to help Vought’s shutdown agenda. Genuine public health risks created by aggrieved men.
BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

“DHS now appears poised to become a primary amplifier of false election conspiracies pushed by our enemies,” one expert said.

Cyberpsychosis is when too much cyber, but unlike the literalist “wow cool robot” depictions of cyborgs in media like the Cyberpunk™️ universe, what is really meant is being too enmeshed in networks of cybernetic feedback loops that cause a person to loose touch with the feedback of actual reality
The fact that cyber/AI psychosis is becoming a regular talking point is the real turn towards the cyberpunk/Ex Supra timelines.

This is why the changes to sideloading rules on Android (sideloaded apps must now be signed by a Google-Play-registered developer account) sucks. It means not even Android is resistant now to the government applying pressure on Google to take down apps it doesn't like 😫
This was done at the direction of Pam Bondi. The US government is now dictating what apps you can have on your phone.

The underlying threat here is if Apple didn't comply, they'd slap billions in tariffs on Apple products.

Oh wow, I'm pretty sure I played the original in high school off a burned CD that got passed around the friends group. That was 20 years ago 🫠

Congrats on the upcoming release 🥳

(And sorry about the high school piracy. If I buy a copy of this one will you forgive me?)
