being wary of the technazis in charge of the US tech Cos is not "cynicism". It's a rational reaction to tech Cos helping genociders, fascists & white supremacists. All while creating unethical billionaires.

But sure..."cynacisn"
Based on this Gmail story, I think we have fostered a lot of people who are deeply cynical towards technology, particularly how corporate influence shapes it.

My question: How would you fix this lingering cynicism? Can it be fixed? Is utopia just gone? Will we look at new ideas with our guard up?

The BBC pulled the documentary Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone because the teenage narrator’s father worked for in the Hamas-run Dept of Agriculture. We spoke with the lad, Abdullah, and he’s not shy about telling the full story.

해석들은 자유
개소리는 아웃
표현들의 자유
어쩌면 누군가의 죽음 사유
그것 또한 자유일런지
당신의 판단과 추측엔
확실한 신념들이 있는지
당신의 자유와 타인의 자유가
동일하다 믿는지
그렇다면 주저 말고 올라타 봐
금지된 것들로부터의 해방
각자의 취향조차 이해들을
못 하는 불행한
이 시대를 살아가는 이들을
위한 이 노랜 금지된 것을
푸는 것뿐이지
허나 자유와 방종의
차이쯤은 부디 구분하길

i think i got accused of being anti-trans for pointing out the pinkwashing of US's role in a genocide.

I want full rights for All Trans Peeps. I want them happy safe respected loved & Thriving!

Being a trans person doesn't cancel-out ur white supremacist beliefs tho & I will call u out on them.

ok so i was blocked for this lol?

I mean, varsågod *shrugs*. I stand by what i said. It's literally not a secret bc these companies admitted it and also stories were written abt it.

lol what.
i mean, let's not forget they all funnel our info right to the gov of their own free will.
so privacy is kind of an illusion here.

and just because "it's been like this for years" and "they have all my data anyway" ... well, first of all they won't have all your data if you stop giving it to them.
second of all - stop normalizing the manufactured need by Cos to invade your privacy JUST to use their product.
The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet.

I know anti-tech lamenting is a Bluesky core principle, but please use the same judgement you would for any other clickbait.

COP is a distraction.

Its purpose is to fail.

A COP without addressing real issues is like a condo meeting where those who party with loud music until 5 a.m. try to convince those who have to get up at 6 to go to work that one hour of sleep is better than nothing — and that they still have to split the city fine for disturbing the neighborhood.

COP30 overpromised, underdelivered, empowered distractions, backtracked on issues and once again gave big oil and big ag a free pass.

Unfortunately, the suspicions of climate scientists (here in Brazil and abroad) were confirmed again.

Thanksgiving is, has always been, and will always be a celebration of genocide against Indigenous folks in what is now called the ‘us’ and the systems that allowed the genocide to occur and to be celebrated in the first place.

Final document for #COP30 just dropped and here are some hot takes

1/ No decisive language about FF phaseouts. This is a HUGE loss. The consolation prize is a political process toward phaseouts outside the official decisionmaking of the #ParisAgreement

Not waning immunity against SEVERE disease that appears to remain pretty robust at 1 year.

BUT the more people who can get infected the more opportunity for the virus to shape shift into more infectious and greater severity. So continuous monitoring matters

Study suggests COVID-19 infection no longer grants long-lasting immunity
New research suggests that natural immunity after a COVID-19 infection has fallen sharply since Omicron became the dominant variant.
