"What I didn’t expect, and don’t think I could have foreseen, is how incredibly cringe it would all be. I have been prepared for evil, for greed, for cruelty, for injustice – but I did not anticipate that the people in power would also be such huge losers."

I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers

Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg’s desperation to be cool as they suck up to Donald Trump is so cringe it makes my skin crawl

@chockenberry Ah okay. That makes sense. And not sure how many people would actually want to do it on those devices anyways. Thanks nevertheless and for answering 😊 Not owning a current Mac atm 😊 Just thought it might make creating connectors a bit more accessible to the average user. Even though you can‘t compare the two, I think Shortcuts benefited a lot from the on-device creation and how people are able to share those that easily.

@chockenberry just wondered if there would be a chance to create new connectors directly on iOS/iPadOS 😊

@chockenberry Already love the app so much. Will the Tapestry Loom stay macOS only? :)

The fact that I still have to shake my iPad Pro in 2024 to undo certain things like deleting an email is hilarious and sad at the same time.

Going Dark: The war on encryption is on the rise. Through a shady collaboration between the US and the EU.

Chat Control & Going Dark: The war on encryption is on the rise. Through a shady collaboration between the US and the EU.

After Snowden’s whistleblowing in 2013, large parts of the internet became encrypted, enabling private and secure communication. Not everyone has welcomed this change. Most notably, the FBI and other U.S. government agencies have fought what is often called the “crypto wars”, the war on encryption. In recent years, they have been joined by the European Commission. Under the slogan “what about the children,” they try to introduce total mass surveillance of all EU citizens — first through the proposed Chat Control legislation, and later via the Going Dark and ProtectEU initiatives. The goal is to legally mandate spy tools on every European smartphone and computer. The forces behind these efforts have turned out to be American tech companies and intelligence agencies.
