I really just see Apple as the kind of company that can withstand some of the existing waves that can disrupt the market.
Considering the Google anti-trust going on, Android's future seems at least a little uncertain.

@parker@cawfee.club
I'm not really talking about the alt-right specifically but the hordes of people who fell for the Q operation, and similar controlled opposition narratives.
The kind of people that think the IDW's "Pheonix the Republic" slogan is a good rallying cry.

I'm convinced that using iOS is going to be a "right coded" thing in less than a decade.
It really looks like X was an experiment to see how little you can give people for them to cheer to total digital serfdom.
This is because we're going to see much of the right wing abandon free speech principles and continue building the "torment nexus" with the neoliberals.
FOSS is going to become more left-wing, not less, but thankfully also more anarchist as this accelerates.

I did put a disclaimer that I know it will sound crazy to people.
There's a couple of threads that lead me to this, but I'm convinced more than ever that
Musk is basically Q 2.0 for a wider audience.
So much of what's going on these days reeks of (actual) military-grade psyops for a particular purpose.
I see a coalition forming that's building on a variety of themes that make Alex Jones' "Prison planet" rantings look benign by comparison.
To go even further, too many Libertarians have been taught to be blind to power outside the state, in hindsight that looks deliberate.

@realcaseyrollins@noauthority.social
People are fixating on the iOS thing, but I'm really just emphasizing cultural shifts and that was an example that came to mind.
But it's a lot more related than you would think.
As somebody who has been trying to communicate FOSS values to a right-adjacent audience for a while now I'm convinced the window for outreach has effectively passed.
Instead we're going to see the right double down on all the draconian digital "safety" measures (which is already happening) and act like anybody who cares about independent digital infrastructure is a weirdo.
Musk has a lot to do with it, because his entire OP is "the government can't save you, but the technocrats can!"

@sun@shitposter.world
The "Covid is not over" crew seem more interested in ritualistically defending their choices in 2020/21 as something that should be done always. It makes sense if you remember how thick the propaganda was, and that most of these people only trust 2-3 sources of information to form their worldview.

Gm everyone :pepeclap:
Any big plans for this week?
It's turkey day for us Canucks.

Alt-fedi meta time :popcornpeped:

Pretty rad visualization

@dcc@annihilation.social
Hardest part imo

Nostalgic about loading bars

A must-listen rant by S2 Underground on how vocal elements of the HAM radio community puts people at risk in emergencies.
The entire rant is worth your time...

I can't believe the people building the torment nexus believe that they'd actually use the torment nexus.

Cats are an empathy check

@sun@shitposter.world
Wallet drainers are no joke and are absolutely killing crypto for the computer challenged.
I saw a piece about fake android apps using OCR for stealing seed phrases.
I'm convinced a (reliable) hardware wallet is the only safe option for many.

What are you hoping for between now and 2025?

@sun@shitposter.world
I really admire how you consistently cut away a lot of thick BS with your observations, and are able to generalize them properly.
It seems very rare to see both done at the same time...

Time to rally support for the Amish
TDF steps in to support Amish community against unfair COVID-19 fines

@LaylaAlexandrovna@spinster.xyz why would they care almost three years later? If there's one thing I've noticed from extreme Branch Covidians, and our government (but I repeat myself) is that they are absolutely vindictive to a fault.
