Always sleepy. Tech minded, trans rights are human rights
So the FCC is gonna be fine with all the piracy when prices get too high right?
BREAKING: The FCC signaled it will repeal the cap on ownership of TV stations, abolishing a limit that keeps owners from controlling stations in more than 39% of markets. This move will allow Nexstar, one of the largest owners of TV stations, to buy rival Tegna in a massive deal.
Jon Deere settled in court, get fucking bent losers, hope you settle again in 10 years

I want this shot to happen in the US too. Both Apple and Google should be considered gatekeepers and regulated as such
Poor put-upon Apple went to the European Court of Justice to argue that it is not a Gatekeeper by running its App Stores, and that EU requiring interoperability with competitors is simply mean and beastly. The ECJ dismissed the arguments. The struggling Cupertino start-up is Very Sad.
The largest nurse and healthcare professional strike in Massachusetts history is underway in Boston this morning.

SNEAK PEEK! Picked up my new otter shirts just in time for Anthrocon!
I'm a huge advocate for physical media still existing, but Bree makes a fantastic point here. We often lose sight of the big picture. At the end of the day, none of these digital concerns would be necessary if companies weren't getting away constantly selling products we never 'own'.
Saying we should all go back to physical media I think misses the point. I actually *like* buying games and movies digitally for a bunch of reasons. What we need is better consumer protections so the things we do buy digitally are actually owned and companies cant delete/revoke access!
God I Wish That Were Me Too, the long-awaited sequel to my self-insert anthology, is finally done and you can get it on itch here: monstrousdoctor.itch.io/god-i-wish-t...
My partner started watching Teen Wolf and out of context it’s way funny because I’m doing my own thing and all of a sudden I hear “she was bitten by an alpha” and I just start dying laughing of the cringe
Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts
If you’re going to give life sentences for the act of protesting then you’re gonna see people do more drastic things than protesting if that’s the price you’re gonna pay anyway
30, 50, 70, and 100-year sentences for the Prairieland defendants so far. Dark day, man. Truly.
I have never heard of this book in my life. Whelp time to buy a copy
So you know how the Obama Presidential Center just opened in Chicago on Juneteenth? How it not only has a library but a specific President’s Reading Room featuring books personally chosen by the Obamas? NEVER WHISTLE AT NIGHT is one of those books. @tvayyyy.bsky.social
Bro I’d take the money and just do nothing with it. When they ask for the tool just give them what they already had with a slightly different interface, they wouldn’t notice a difference ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Another day, another disappointment.
Trump WILL NOT be honored once he's gone, and those who supported him will crawl back into their racist closet so they can pretend to be good people. Trump will always be America's shit stain.
Good shit. Keep banning AI, show Sam Altman that humans are not replaceable
Vermont has banned AI chatbot therapy, passing a law that requires a mental health professional to conduct therapeutic services.
Man companies like Nvidia and OpenAI really want us to rent our computers, not gonna happen. My hardware is my hardware
Sideloading shouldn't require a 24-hour waiting period and a 9-step gauntlet. Google's 'advanced flow' is designed to fail. Keep Android Open! @keepandroidopen.bsky.social keepandroidopen.org
