Across the world, right now, billionaires, oligarchs, and corporations are using their wealth to silence dissent, undo decades of social and environmental progress, and manipulate the game in their favour.

It's #TimeToResist the billionaire takeover.

If your salary was 100k with no tax, it would take you 10 years to become a millionaire, but 10 000 years to reach a billion. It is unethical for one person to be hoarding this much money when others cannot eat."

For most of the past decade, the Chromium animation team in Google's Waterloo office has gotten an earful from me about about how the we *had* to get to a point where scroll-based animations were not only possible, but reliably offloaded to the compositor.

And they did it, despite *constant* stop-energy from Apple (who still can't do <body> scrolling right 🙄). The results speak for themselves:

What Sam Altman Told OpenAI About the Secret Device He’s Making With Jony Ive

“The product will be capable of being fully aware of a user’s surroundings and life, will be unobtrusive, able to rest in one’s pocket or on one’s desk, and will be a third core device a person would put on a desk after a MacBook Pro and an iPhone.”

OpenAI looking at Microsoft Recall and thinking “consumers love the idea! Let’s make something that records everything you do!” is pretty funny.

Incredible (but predictable) : #Microsoft has blocked the International Criminal Court's access (#ICC) to its services on the orders of the #Trump mafia.

Read that carefully : an international organisation that has no presence in the United States and no US legal rights has had its work tools blocked simply because it disagrees with the Trump administration. 🚩

Get the hell out of it right now.
