Ah, yes, that wonderful free speech the "anti-woke" obsessed go on about so much, sounds lush ☺

I'm glad that articles like this by Tatum Hunter that walk you through how to opt out of cellular carrier tracking exist, but I'm sad they are necessary. This is exactly why we created the AweSIM service. #privacy https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/08/01/cell-carrier-privacy-settings/

Watching these geniuses trying to wrap their heads around the basics of our society is like watching a toddler get excited when they figure out how the volume on the TV remote works.

The problem with ESG is not that it's "woke": the problem is that it's greenwashing.

Standardised metrics won't change the fact that if you invest in an ETF that screens out fossil fuel companies, it has zero impact on how profitable polluting is.

"While #TheAnarchistsHBO has proven to be a pathetic excuse for a documentary on anarchism and its theories and practical applications, it is shaping up to be a decent documentary on how flawed and invalid anarcho-capitalism is. Anarcho-capitalism is not an anarchist ideology but rabid individualism where those outside of Olympus must fend for themselves.

Ugh. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/471997/auckland-transport-to-shift-data-to-microsoft-s-cloud-services If these folks did a price comparison, I'm confident they'd be able to cut costs by 50-80% using a provider who is *not* Microsoft or Amazon. I doubt such comparisons take place. I suspect there're always (spurious) trumped up requirements that only one mega-corp provider can fulfill. Seems ridiculous that our gov't continues to fall into these holes. I'm convinced it's entirely due to lobbying (which is a slightly wishy-washy way of saying 'corruption').
