Notices by CEO of Anti-Clock Society (be@floss.social), page 2

Organized sabotage by tech workers could take down capitalists astonishingly quickly. By all signs, this incident wasn't even intentional.

I wonder how much damage CrowdStrike has done to the IDF.

I don't think this is what the CEO of CrowdStrike intended with "disruption", but the world would be a better place if this was what tech CEOs meant by "disruption".

The CrowdStrike outage seems to have disrupted the IDF bombing of Gaza today.

CrowdStrike has done more to reduce global CO2 emissions than any international climate change agreement.

@mekkaokereke My roommate has a Tesla that I've ridden in a few times and the very first thing I noticed about it was how opening and closing the doors works differently from every other car for no explicable reason.

The best writing I've seen from mainstream tech journalism:

Best printer 2023: just buy this Brother laser printer everyone has, it’s fine

@fivetonsflax @mcc Regardless, charging per installation is absurd for apps that don't sell anything.

Regarding HR 894 (https://www.congress.gov/118/bills/hres894/BILLS-118hres894ih.pdf) that was passed in the House of Representatives yesterday, which says "anti-Zionism is antisemitism", it lists many incidents. Some of those were actually antisemitic. Most of them were antizionist activism. I want to draw your attention to one in particular...

Beyond the Nation State in the Middle East

In Palestine and Kurdistan, promising experiments in self-determination draw on the region’s pluralist history.

"Öcalan’s idea of confederalism involves delinking nation from state, allowing for pluralist communal politics. This occurs through radical devolution of state power to local democratic councils representing the interests of diverse identity groups."

@technomancy My approach for buying phones for the last decade or so has been looking for what was a "flagship" phone 3 years ago, cross referencing that with the LineageOS supported devices wiki, then finding it on eBay for under $200.
