I deleted my #Duolingo account. Had a streak of 800.

Got enough of the boring repetitive lessons, the generated content, the one path, the non-stop push to buy Super or Max, the interactive game ads, the removal of earning hearts by practicing, the removal of community answers, the extensive tracking, the AI-first. The #enshittification reached a point where I just didn’t feel good using it any more.

I think I can spend those 10-15 minutes a day with something more meaningful and fulfilling.

Hoy se estrenó la serie de #ElEternauta en Netflix, pero no olvidamos que el co-creador de la obra original, H.G. Oesterheld y sus cuatro hijas (dos de ellas embarazadas) fueron desaparecidos por la dictadura argentina en 1977.

Ireland on Wednesday highlighted a complete disregard for international law in Gaza during an open UN Security Council debate on the Middle East.

A report published by Declassified UK on Monday revealed that a British company is supplying engines for "Israel's" newest line of military drones, raising fresh concerns about UK complicity in the Gaza genocide.

RCV Engines, a Dorset-based engineering firm, has been identified as the manufacturer of the propulsion system for the APUS 25 drone, developed by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), an Israeli government-owned weapons manufacturer.

USA has always been a fascistic, or rather authoritarian (as its flavor of alt right authoritarianism actually predates fascism) state at its core.
It isn't a novelty of the current Trump administration. What that administration actually repredent is an extreme exasservation of say USA authoritarianism and the complete fall of the mask of "the democratic USA" for the relativelly privileged USian and their allies in other parts of the global north.

For the rest of us the mask has never been on and we have suffer the USA for what it always has been: an authoritarian, anti-democratic, imperialistic, neocolonial and parasitic state.

There's something very charming in confused iPhone users thinking iOS is a valid alternative to google android, and not another corporative trash that doesn't respect you at all.

You should #degoogle and #demeta, yes. But you should also #deapple.

#Apple has been accused and, in some cases been proven guilty, of unfair competition, false advertising and monopolic practices.

It's not an alternative to the technological oligopoly, but a core member of it.

#Microsoft walking back its climate commitment is a great example of why we need binding state and federal #climate laws, not corporate pledges that are reneged when they become inconvenient to profits and shareholders”
