More #anticompetitive bullshit from #Google all these tech giants need to be systematically destroyed.

@WIRED @gear-gadgets-WIRED I have the misfortune of being a regular traveller(I hate airports) this article is all wrong. Look, If you want a great trolley get Muji's 36l, at least 2lbs lighter than every bag in the article, less than $200 in the US and less than $150 if you can buy it in Japan. Used the same one over 10 years, nothing broken. I have two heavy aluminium Rimowa trolleys, when a wheel gets broken by an airline, the repair cost more than the entire muji bag.
@reflex @niccolove uh, why are you even dragging Epstein into the discussion? Just to score rhetorical points or are you saying that anthropic are the same as Epstein? Sure AI bad and all, but that's a ridiculously false equivalence.

@ironicbadger while the open source ecosystem is far from perfect, closed/proprietary doesn't touch my hardware. Yes of course there's ugly little firmware blobs, but we don't live in the cool everything is FOSS alternative reality do we?

Mentally insert a "none shall pass" Gandalf meme, so as not to waste resources.

@Burn_this_ @dabertime hey, that's not a bad idea. I can think of a few trump appointees that I would like to see get alcohol poisoning.
The Citizen Lab Bad Connection: Uncovering Global Telecom Exploitation by Covert Surveillance Actors

Our investigation uncovers two sophisticated telecom surveillance campaigns and, for the first time, links real-world attack traffic to mobile operator signalling infrastructure. The findings expose how suspected commercial surveillance vendors (CSVs) exploit the global telecom interconnect ecosystem, leverage private operator networks, and conduct covert location tracking operations that can persist undetected for years.

@dirk well Framework did pay Intel for chips, probably enough to have a body show up and say marketing stuff. Canonical on the other hand, could just be so starved for validation that they might've begged to be involved. Honestly, when those guys walked on stage my attention wandered to the point that I technically stopped watching.
@GrapheneOS yes please, the long multiple post threads in reverse order mess with me. Often I just give up and scroll past.

@frameworkcomputer please don't ever do big budget productions for product announcements like Apple. Keep these announcements honest and humble, and focus on making great products.

Personally, was hoping for a framework detachable 2-in-1, but probably gonna end up with lenovo x13. Would really love to see this from framework even if a bit chonk. Nothing on the market that's repairable, upgradable and runs linux as a first class citizen.
