People: “why doesn’t company X do Y?”
Company: We only need your money and data, everything else is for show.
People: “Such a forward thinking company”
Company: funds anti-people and harassment tooling instead of people-centric software
people: Much innovation! Many money!

I sometimes look up and notice that I’m existing in a bit of a bubble. I don’t run Windows since it expired in usability for me back in 2009 on the home computer (because you don’t own your copy of Windows, you rent it for the duration of your license). Which is not what people know to be true - they think that once they buy it, it’s like food or clothes; it’s yours

These feelings get exacerbated when I come home and check my updates. More rambling on Black neocapitalism with no regard for the community and how just sprinkling money at people doesn’t fix things. At best, money’s a numbing agent when you have a lot of money problems. We really need to invest in systems for our communities that help them live so they can go about their lives and just breathe.

Again, I def feel either crazy or just out of it; everyone wants to secure a bag but never stop to look at the bag was made of the skin of their kinfolk.

OMG, I'm working on a new Dark Mode for my website for macOS and soon iOS users, and this is looking SO-O-O-O good. I'm tempted to enable this as a manual option for anyone to use, and now I'm even wondering if I like my regular color theme… 🤪

Cops are state sponsored hit squads. No evidence showing the contrary. 55 bullets on one person from three people is what people do in VIDEO games, this will RIP a human being apart. https://t.co/mIlR5PWx7E (v2.jacky.wtf/post/82066fdf-…)

Are you an independent publisher (eg a blogger or the owner of a small publication)? Do you control / self-host your own site? Are you interested in making direct revenue from some of your work? I'd love to chat with you.
I'm completely unexcited by more stories of people from wealthy backgrounds building things.
