  @mattiem@mastodon.social – "Apple is supporting a regime that is not just destroying democracy in the United States, but is actively working to do so globally. Not to mention attacking my own country of Canada." What specific things do you see happening that amount to this? Presumably it's more than one name on a map…?

  What were Sokidstv videos once made of? Video of real people and places in Nigeria?

  I shared this bill two weeks ago, and I'm staggered that no one else I've seen on Mastodon, or any other place online, has even mentioned it. It does indeed look like the law would require every American child and adult, parent or not, to verify their age with a third party just to power up and use their own computer or phone in everyday fashion. #AgeVerification #Apple #Microsoft #Google

  That's a pretty decent dining photo – tragically sparse on Mastodon. ^ ^

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@simonbs/116472347055299139 Probably the clearest illustration I've encountered of the line between when it's a tool and when you're a tool, so to speak.

  @golgaloth – They're over and just not on Mastodon? 🧐

  @GrahamDowns – Anyway, I've guessed that consideration – a company equals the people executing the mission – underpins that, and I'd love to find historical evidence that really affirms it. (Do you think the other pluralizational difference there is based on something so profound, or is that just more of a sense of grammar feeling different to different cultures?)

  For people in the USA: A bill that would require age verification nationwide, seemingly for all adults and children, for all operating systems, according to currently-unspecified rules determined by the FTC. (Please note the "give feedback on this bill" link with guidance to contact your state's members of Congress.) https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/8250

  I dreamt last night that I woke up to a BBC headline stating that Trump's administration just had a successful first day of implementing and running the cohesive health care system for Americans on which he campaigned in 2016. (Laughs) Phenomenal. #Trump #USPol

  Heck. I just discovered JavaScript `EventSource` type this week for receiving lightweight events from a server over time using a single HTTP request. This has been well-supported for over five years? It's so easy to use, even on the server, that it barely feels like a Web standard. #Web

  @gedeonm@mastodon.social – The only remotely understandable explanation of Trump's behaviour that I've ever conceived is that he's terrified of what will happen if he's ultimately treated fairly – so, say or do absolutely anything to stay as many steps as possible from that. The cost of being booed at a game must seem negligible beyond a thought. If there's any truth to that, I can imagine Vance is at least in that ballpark.

  @gedeonm@mastodon.social, @paul@tapbots.social – Yep – app icons, widgets, and rampant circularization are the main offenders. It's ironic on an emotional level: this is genuinely the first time in Apple's history I've occasionally seen the previous interfaces and noticed I was envying them as though they were the upgrades.

  @mattblaze@federate.social – Optimistically, the interrogative inflection mightn't have occurred to him internally to that point.
