"'Israel commits crimes like it breathes. The only way to protect not only Palestinians, but also Israelis, is to stop it. It is a threat to peace and security', the U.N. rapporteur firmly states. Albanese argues that the problem is not only limited to Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, since, according to statistics published by the newspaper Haaretz, 80% of the Israeli population supports the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians." Fucking hell, 80% 😒 "Albanese will present a new report next week that will list the names of companies 'that have profited from genocide'." #News #OrganisedAffiliatedFuckers
Every now and then I have to browse the web on a Chrome or Edge browser that doesn't have a proper ad blocker installed, and I am reminded how fucking garbage the web has become with the default settings 😒
"It was inevitable that Apple would eventually stop supporting Intel Macs, but some models have been dropped more aggressively than others. While most Intel Macs were replaced with updated Apple Silicon models in 2020 or 2021, Apple was selling the 2019 Intel Mac Pro and a few versions of the 2018 Intel Mac mini until well into 2023; someone who bought one of those pricey Mac Pros that year will have received just three new macOS updates and a total of five years of security updates." If you bought either of these models in 2023, you KNEW it was essentially already legacy hardware. Stop blaming Apple.
"In another blow to one of the largest celebrations of LGTBQ+ people in North America, Pride Toronto has unexpectedly lost two more major corporate sponsors, just weeks before the festival in a setback the festival’s organizer says is direct result of Donald Trump’s campaign to eradicate diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in the US. Google and Home Depot both announced their plans to abandon the festival in the form of one-line emails, said Kojo Modeste, the executive director of the Canadian event." We'll remember this, fuckers 😒 #News #OrganisedAffiliatedFuckers #DontPayTheGuardian #USpol
All this technology and 'AI', and we still can't do video streaming that understands that, if all that's left is the dubbing credits, I really do not need to 'resume' that episode, ever.
It's a week full of days this week, both literally and figuratively, with today, May 17th, being the International Day Against LGBTQIA+ Discrimination, also known as 'IDAHOBIT', this year in its 35th incarnation :progresspride_i_flag: And it's not going great. This year's Rainbow Map, which tracks the legal status of LGBTQIA+ folks in Europe, shows an overall worsening, led by the UK, which, despite being at #1 only a decade ago, has now dropped to 22nd place 😒 #News #OrganisedAffiliatedFuckers #TransRightsAreHumanRights
