Some of y'all are still confused as to why it seems that Silicon Valley billionaires are "turning to Trump." That's because you don't listen to Black people, you disrespect poor white people, and you ignore obvious statistics that have been staring you in the face for decades.

Silicon. Valley. Billionaires. Have. Always. Supported. Trump.

Not because they like the tax breaks. Because they are more likely to be racist, and racism is the greatest predictor of Trump support.

Most of the people in Silicon Valley, vote Dem.

But most of the money in Silicon Valley, votes GOP.

Some of these VCs sit around in online chat rooms with alt-right reactionaries and real life nazis. Some of them hold little public meetings, where they talk about ending democracy and great replacement theory. Some of them write books on why diversity is bad, and should be avoided. Most of them cheer on Elon's anti-woke, fashy push.

And y''all are surprised that they support Trump?

Shout out to all the people just now learning that a US Sheriff, whose job is statistically safer than being a gardener, carpenter, or taxi driver, and that barely graduated high school, and whose job is mainly harassing and beating unarmed Black and Brown people... gets paid between 3X and 6X the salary of an active duty Navy Seal with 2 Masters degrees, on deployment in an active war zone.🙂🙃

6X. Not a typo.

Many of those sheriffs took time off of work to go act out at Jan 6. No SEALs did. 🤷🏿‍♂️

It just clicked in my brain. What I haven't been able to articulate about why I'm so anxious about #Windows Recall. I'm sure others have already gotten to where I am.

It's worse than "a system that tracks everything you do" and stores that info in a basic database that could be easily compromised.
It's worse than a nanny surveillance tool for companies to spy on their employees.

It's inescapable.

It doesn't matter if I make a dozen "how to disable recall" tutorials. The second YOUR data shows up on someone ELSE'S screen, it's in THEIR recall database.

It won't matter if you're a master #security expert specialist. You can't account for EVERY other computer you've ever interacted with. If a family member looks up an old email with your personal data in it, your data is now at risk.

If THEIR system is compromised YOUR data is at risk.

I just went from "vague feeling of unease" to "actively writing templates to canvas elected officials, regulators, and attorneys general."

Here's what we're reading today:

The West works on options to retaliate against #Russia for sabotage at military and civilian targets across #Europe.

Russia's intelligence service leads the attacks. They aim to divide #Ukraine's allies, disrupt military supplies to the UAF and test Western resolve.

If you are building a system that has user management with password protection, make sure you state what your strength and structure requirements are when asking someone to choose a password.

Don't admonish or surprise a user who has, in good faith, chosen a password that lacks some particular feature (length, special characters, etc.) when you failed to inform them of such a requirement.

It is generally not considered polite or appropriate to blame others for your mistakes and oversights 🙃

2 hours now trying to set up the Samsung fridge, creating accounts left and right, registering the product etc. and it turns out that you can't adjust any of the settings on it unless you use their app, and the fridge has to connect to Wi-Fi, and it isn't seeing my network, and I'm supposed to move my router closer to the fridge, and then dive into the network settings and change Mac addresses and forward ports and what the fuck knows else

Like I said, you should never buy a "smart" anything

To those saying "If it can happen to trump, it can happen to anyone.", yes you are correct.

If trump can be held accountable for his crimes, that means everyone can be held accountable for their crimes.

This isn't a flaw or a mistake, it's literally how the law is supposed to work.

My career has always been “managed” by attacking whatever the hardest, gnarliest, and most urgent problem in front of me was. Unfortunately, that doesn’t always line up with “sexiest” or “most visible” so I often languish doing “janitorial work” — probably why I’m such an advocate for celebrating the invisible work, rather than the splashy work.

Cryptocurrency companies have raised over $115 million to influence US elections this cycle, and they’re just getting started. We need to closely watch how cryptocurrency companies are influencing US politics. https://www.citationneeded.news/2024-cryptocurrency-election-spending/

Fairshake, a crypto-focused super PAC, is #3 on the list of super PACs by the amount of money raised. Coinbase and Ripple are both in the top ten companies by amounts donated to outside spending groups. This is far out of proportion when you look at the size of the industry.

@molly0xfff@hachyderm.io avatar

Meanwhile, cryptocurrency companies like Coinbase have been aggressively recruiting their customers to donate and vote along pro-crypto lines, with in-app calls-to-action and flashy websites that rate politicians based on their perceived pro- or anti-crypto stances.

My relationship with my wife over the years:

1990s: You think X? I'm pretty sure it's Y. Oh well, we'll look it up later. (We would never look it up).

2000s: You think X? Let me google that on my phone...

2010s: Hey Siri, is X correct?

2020: Big data has been listening this whole time and is already crafting our search results to cater to our biases.

I know Althusser (caveat), but his insight that there is nothing outside of ideology (which for him is actions that support power, not beliefs) is undervalued. I'm so tired of obviously fascist patriarchal oppressors telling us they're "critical thinkers not ideologues" when they obviously do everything to uphold power as it is. You can't step outside of ideology without stepping into another ideological system. Better to know what system you are promoting rather than "unwittingly" back evil.

This is why the social justice movements of Occupy and BLM have been so powerful--they are guided by specific questions and policy changes that are about improving the lives of workers and minoritized people. So if course that are the movements that have been demonized as not having goals or an endgame--because their endgame would necessitate the end of the unchallenged, unmitigated right of the investor class to exploit suffering infinitely. "Hey, that's my moral chaos you're dismantling!"

@kerfuffle@mastodon.online avatar

In 45 minutes I made a #kotlin #javalin application from scratch, which uses #webjars to include #htmx from a #maven pom file. It uses static #HTML files for the first load, and then renders HTML from #jte templates for #SSR of the parts of the pages that need that kind of interaction. There's no #springboot (or any #spring at all) and no #SPA like #angular or #react.

Now because simply setting up a project says close to nothing about its real world viability, next step is an actual usecase ( :

I’ve been at a loss for words over seeing Nikki Haley sign bombs. There is no moral or ethical argument to justify that behavior. It is despicable, and if you think in any way that it’s humorous, you are part of the problem.
