The big tech companies want you to believe that their default software offerings are the only option, but spoiler alert, there’s a wide array of fantastic software out there. www.eff.org/pages/i-wan...

How to Opt Out of Software Made by Big Tech

Big tech companies make the devices we use and the operating systems that come on them. They also make the bulk of the default software that comes packed into those operating systems. But spend even

When you claim renewable energies aren’t workable—but you attach solar panels to all your dystopian Flock surveillance cameras.

Now Apple Maps looks especially lame… is this the “fool me once” philosophy? Maybe they learned? Either way, @mapquest.com is my new favorite

SHAME on Google Maps 🌊🌊 As a lake I don’t have much use for mapping apps except when I verify that Big Ass Lake really does exist. But I will now use a different one.

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

If England have to go on, I’m glad it’s on Bellingham goals and not Kane goals. If Kane played as hard as he dove and complained he would have scored 😆

I just want to say, while we’re on the subject: ALL of our youth sports, in one way or another, are too expensive & have too high of a barriers of entry - not just soccer. + we should reform our youth sports not with the goal to win a mWC, but with the goal to provide opps to play for all kids

I have thoroughly enjoyed the World Cup. I have loved cheering for the US team. Then that fucker intervened. Yes, the red card was excessive, but I would rather lose because of it than win because Imbecile called FIFA. The joy is gone. Now we’re the bad guys. He destroys everything.

I think not enough people understand that the pushback against renewables and EV's is money. Without getting too in the weeds: renewables cannot ever be as profitable as oil and gas. EV's don't make as much money as gas guzzlers. That's it. That's all you really need to know.
