@martinr92 I think the scripting URL for Apple Silicon release builds of ffmpeg installer is not working? The snapshot link does work. https://ffmpeg.martin-riedl.de/redirect/latest/macos/arm64/release/ffmpeg.pkg

And thanks so much for providing an Apple Silicon installer for ffmpeg!

Your favorite big tech CEO (pick one) just sat on stage behind and in support of somebody who defined trans people out of existence, side by side with some motherfucker who later did nazi salutes from behind the seal of the POTUS.

There is no going back from that

“A rotten Apple: Tim Cook’s betrayal of LGBTQ+ rights”
https://ryanleetaylor.com/blog/a-rotten-apple-tim-cook-betrayal-of-lgbtq-rights

> “If Apple’s leadership is willing to compromise on fundamental human rights, can I, in good conscience, continue to be part of that ecosystem? This question now haunts me, and I suspect I’m not alone.”

You're not. I’m suddenly seeing statements to this effect, public and private, more than ever.

Supporting Apple has never felt morally difficult… until now.

That's entirely on Tim Cook.

It's time for him to go.

The EU should demand that American Big Tech sell their assets to European companies. They can’t be trusted to not manipulate the data for propaganda reasons.

Not doing so is a national security risk.

Am I doing this right?

#Meta will be selling #ads on #Threads within the next few months. Can’t say I’m surprised! I have zero regrets for staying far away from there.

On the other hand, the small #Mastodon server I used the most was unplugged by its lone admin. No notice that I saw. So a couple years in the #Fediverse hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing either.

(But SFBA.social seems great!)

Meta’s Threads expected to have ads this year

The move would make Threads Meta's latest bit of ad real estate venue just over a year after its launch.

It’s astounding that the UI of the Mac today remains so similar to the first Macintosh from 1984. From one 40 year old to another, happy birthday Macintosh! https://www.theverge.com/24048479/apple-mac-40-anniversary
The Mac turns 40 — and keeps on moving

40 years after Apple CEO Steve Jobs introduced the original Macintosh, the Mac product line is in a strange place.
