I tried looking for the most recent images of progress on the idiotic giga-construction project in the Arabian desert, that sounds as realistic as Elon Musk's Mars base.

There are a couple of "articles" from last months about "Stunning photos of the construction progress". But turns out, those are just images from February 2024. And the amount of visible progress on a single futuristic building that is going to house 9 million people is indeed "stunning", in some sense of the word.

In case ANYONE is wondering (namely at @Defcon ), please feel free to refer to this useful chart, for guidance.

Inaction against nazis is tacit approval and indirect support. Anything OTHER than immediate, absolute push back is a wink and nudge to nazis, and an invitation.

Fucking tech bros, man. Some stupid group of tech bros has claimed responsibility for organizing the throwing of dildos onto WNBA basketball courts during games, to claim attention. He said, "It was more or less like an opportunistic approach to, you know, what is already trending. Where is there already controversy and how do we intercept some of that attention?"

What morons they are, and what idiots are those who buy this shit, making the morons rich for childish pranks. Unfortunately, this is the kind of "intelligence" (cunning, conning) that we have come to respect as the USian way.

ME, two days ago:

❝ the people who make #fascism possible are not the hard-core minority of true believers. it’s the majority of corruptible cynics who will do anything for a buck.

Tim Cook is another fascist white gay man; but, unlike Gay Hitler, he’s a fascist out of pure greed.

Here, Elena Rossini explains Why and How she is purging #BigTech out of her life. While she readily admits she is not totally free of it, she has gone a long way. She has a blog where she talks about her journey to #Freedom from #Technofeudalism and calls out the hypocracy of some #TechWriters along the way。

“I watched a brilliant TED Talk by journalist Carole Cadwalladr about the broligarchy titled “this is what the digital coup looks like.” Shortly thereafter I discovered that Cadwalladr is using Substack (the Nazi-friendly newsletter platform funded by the broligarchs at A16Z) for her blog; her social media platform of choice is Bluesky (funded by crypto bros at Blockchain Capital). Sadly Cadwalladr has no social profiles on the Fediverse and isn’t using - as far as I know - any FOSS platforms to publish her reporting. This feels incredibly incongruous.”

It’s well worth a read. And for those still ‘fenced in’ by commercial social platforms, she offers hope and some ways to ditch them.

Personally, My tie to #TechBros #oligarchy is Gmail (though not for much longer as I am mostly migrated off). Otherwise, I’m on Signal and an Australian hosted mail server (until that one starts getting ideas I won’t agree with). My blog is about to transfer to a platform based in Australia for less $$ (of @shlee fame - I’m gettting there Shlee! Https://enhancecp.9fives.online) and getting off WordPress hosting (I’ll be using a #cpanel equiv #EnhanceDotNet.). My #Microsoft days are numbered with #LinuxMint on my other laptop ready to take over very soon. I’m still tied to Apple with my iPad (tooting away on it atm). My mobile is an old & cheap #Android device. My browser is #LibreWolf. My mail client is #Thunderbird .

Best thing that ever happened to me was to find out about the #Fediverse. I’ve never looked back from this, only forward.

I’m not going to lie, there is a cost to bear. I have lost digital links to all my friends and family (some overseas). But I’ve managed to keep those closest to me via other means (Face-to-face, phone calls, SMS, emails and Signal for those using it). Bottom line is, If am I going to #Rage against #TechBros, I should walk the talk as Elena Rossini is doing. So should you IMO.
