The weirdest fucking sentence in this is “AI isn’t just another tech trend — it’s at the heart of most apps, tools and technology we use today”.
That is just an outright blatant lie. How did they come up with this bullshit?
They’re completely untrustworthy fartwaffles.

ICE assaulted a Native man—violently pulled him from his car—and detained him. He was then released because he is emphatically not an immigrant. Today they charged him—on a secret warrant and secret indictment, zero public evidence—with assaulting an ICE agent.

Danish really is a strange language. As this graphic shows, the Danish word "nå" has 12 different meanings, if not more.
You may think that cannot be true, but as a Dane I can confirm this is no exaggeration.
It is all about various tonal changes in the pronounciation, but essentially it is the same word used for 12 different meanings. Not unlike how "right" can both be a direction or the opposite of wrong or an expression of disbelief as in "Riiiiiiiight".

We are living in a moment where collective harm is being repackaged as individual failure.
Where the very real impact of systems, institutions, and policies designed to exclude, exploit, and dehumanize gets reframed as a mindset problem. A resilience problem. A positivity problem. A personal responsibility problem.
And it’s happening with the language of spirituality. With the aesthetics of healing. With the tone of encouragement.
If you do not want to use software from a US tech industry that supports Donald Trump, this is the website you have been looking for:
@randahl Funny that this web site, european alternatives, has a LinkedIn site

Where do I apply for one of these "paid agitator and insurrectionist" jobs I keep hearing so much about? I keep doing it for free so it would be nice to get a pay check.

What are some good video games that have, as part of their game mechanics, portions where you are navigating through a fake program or operating system?

If you could pick one non-U.S. tech, product, or service to switch to, what would you recommend, and why? Open-source and self-hosting options welcome!

"Wir wussten um die Möglichkeiten des Machtapparats, jeden Protest im Keim zu ersticken. Wir hatten, was eine Verbesserung unserer Lage betraf, also wenig Grund zu Optimismus. Und waren zuversichtlich. Und das ist vielleicht die wichtigste aller Lektionen."

There she began developing her first crocheted wire sculptures.
