I hope you're ready for a second Great Depression as there's going to be one inevitably.

@jeffjarvis Sadly only the beginning. :(

@sundogplanets I feel for you as we're seeing the destruction of the US in front of our eyes and the end result is going to be ugly. :(

It's okay to cry.

@lauren Sadly, they're the only phone manufacturer in the US at least who have easy ways to unlock bootloaders.

I know some in the EU do though.

@Impish4249 They should have moved as late as last year to be honest.

There's a reason why I still can't take Signal seriously when it comes to privacy.

@juliewebgirl Late-Stage Capitalism at it's finest!

Expect Social Security checks to stop showing up on time very soon at this rate as there's no other way really.

When you piss off Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli as a whole, you know that there's something wrong with you. Especially you, OpenAI.

I'm saying it now:

#Signal should have moved to a EU country or to Switzerland when they had a chance to do so.

Now they'll likely have to fight for its survival in a chilling political climate.

You can still read #NASA's now deleted graphic novels on First Woman but I would do it right now while you still can as it'll likely get deleted everywhere via executive order and/or court order soon.

@Ronnie All of Big Telecom sucks to be real.

Just ask @KarlBode who has been on the reporting beat for decades.

It's a good thing I never posted a single piece of content on #Pixelfed and its not going to stop now.

Major post leak issues are not going to help.

Yikes!

Some good and bad news on RCS' end-to-end encryption rollout:

"Also, because this is carrier dependent, I suspect the rollout of end-to-end encryption (for #RCS) will be a little rocky for a beat and, in some countries, never made available."

I'm sure a ton of people are busy patching this week with this next.js flaw.

If you use #23andMe, you know by now that they have filed for #bankruptcy and it's most likely going to sell itself.

The CA AG's office is telling you to go and delete your DNA data now before it gets sold to the highest bidder.

Expect US #tourism to completely collapse for the next decade. There's really no other way.

@feorlen All this beautiful land will be privatized soon and it's a terrible feeling to say so I'm glad you be able to enjoy them while you still can.

@nimi You mean the entire Section 230 law?

Here's two sources:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_230

https://www.techdirt.com/2020/06/23/hello-youve-been-referred-here-because-youre-wrong-about-section-230-communications-decency-act/

@mmasnick explains it more in the latter.

@Nonilex Please read this:

And so it begins the likely destruction of #Section230 and the #internet.

Once again, Dems are totally complicit.
