This is the first step towards taking away U.S. women's right to vote entirely.
It's in #Project2025 and multiple people in the administration have re/tweeted stuff about wanting to do this.

Wait, when did @sequel@indieapps.space get the ability to add notes to media items?? I’ve wanted this for so long!
(I use it often from the share sheet so didn’t catch it)
Great app just got greater. You should check it out. #Apple #iPhoneApps #iPadApps

Via a Reddit thread, #Amazon is supposedly offering refunds on #RingCameras as far back as 2016 because the partnership with #Flock somehow violates TOS.
I’m not sure how to verify this, I sure don’t have one. But maybe there’s an option for conscious people.

Woke my gaming PC from sleep.
(*snort*, woke)
This Clipchamp update appears. Clipchamp was not in the system tray. I have run it maybe 2-3 times ever, but haven't run it in months. Restarted PC a couple days ago.
I would pay money to be able to sit down at a table with the #Microsoft #Windows11 decision maker who thought this was a good idea.
At this point, I am not fucking kidding anymore. I would pay money to speak to this human being.

Shout out to the time #Microsoft invented a genuinely cool peer-to-peer song sharing feature for the #Zune
and then unironically, with a straight face, called it “squirting”
As in “hey [your name], squirt me that hot new song you like”
Continuing Microsoft’s long tradition, which lives to this day, of using a dart board of the worst possible words to name its products and features, like, 95% of the time

“Check it out on my #Substack here [LINK]”
Ah yes, the pro-Nazi platform that profits from and deliberately promotes white supremacy, fascism, and yes, literal Nazi content
Nah, thanks. But let me know if you ever stop working with and promoting a Nazi platform though.

Anyone have a #newsreader recommendation? Must have good iOS apps and not be Feedly or Inoreader.
They’re both great apps but they’re chasing business customers with collaboration tools. I’m just one person who wants to organize my news feeds.
A read later feature that accepts external links would be welcome but not necessary. I don’t have a great read later solution right now.
