Danielle Smith has a plan to destroy public health care in Alberta—and she’s not doing it alone.

Documents and lobbying records reveal the government is consulting directly with Canada’s private insurance giants on how to implement two-tier health care, reports Nikolas Barry-Shaw. https://breachmedia.ca/pandoras-box-danielle-smith-and-insurance-giants-unleash-attack-on-healthcare/

Another reason to hate #Apple We're seeing more 2018+ MacBook Pro/Air donations — but Apple's T2 chip means even after iCloud sign-out and reset, the firmware stays locked to the original account.

Without donor contact, these machines are useless. :(

I've upcycled ~1,000 older Macs, but T2 era machines will end that. It's controlling, creates e-waste, and will only get worse. #righttorepair matters — Apple couldn't care less.

"a system whose deepest logic is to convert the living world into fuel for its own endless expansion."

"It systematically selects for behaviors that reproduce itself and eliminates those that threaten it."

I had no idea MacOS and iOS were getting worse lately, from the perspective of a blind user — and I certainly hope Apple turns this around.

Lots of detail here:

For several years now, I — along with many others — have been witnessing a distressing trend : the accessibility of Apple systems for blind customers is deteriorating with every upgrade, and yet, your company appears indifferent to this situation.

I hope that this open letter will raise your awareness, and I ask that Apple finally stops its hollow marketing at the expense of the blind Community and reverses the ship back toward the path of excellence. Let the Mac, the iPhone, and your other products once again become what they were meant to be: tools of empowerment.
