This implies he had a good reputation before? There was already stuff like this out: https://www.enstarz.com/articles/235506/20240816/barron-trump-caught-killing-animals-slapped-f-out-his-nanny-alleged-ex-nanny-claims.htm

We must vote for Democrats in large numbers, make it too big to rig. The more people who vote Democrat the harder it will be to rig the election.

I see people mention this often and I understand where they’re coming from because it sure seem like it’s the reason thinking about how Republicans do something bad and it never gets done. While it’s true that this happening I believe the real issue is actually not enough Democrats in office. Democrats when in power are often stuck with razor thin margins and a few of them are basically DINOs like Joe Manchin. If we had more Democrats in office we wouldn’t be stuck with trying to deal with Joe Manchin because we’d have enough votes even without him.

Well then, time to shut down your Meta account if you still have one. Also do likewise for TikTok and Twitter.

I’m doing all I can to oppose this. I believe that if this is enacted it will create a bad precedence that may result in other countries adopting similar requirements. It must be firmly rejected now so strongly that no other country dares to try it. My goal is to convince hotel companies to oppose the policy because they will be hurt by less people traveling.

I urge everyone to contact hotel companies based in the US and say you won’t be coming if this is enacted or say you’re avoiding the US because of the Trump regime. Also in truth even if this doesn’t get enacted I still strongly suggest you still avoid visiting the US. The more people who boycott the US the more companies will feel pressured to help defeat the Trump regime. Sadly in the US companies can have a lot of influence on politics although so far for the hotel companies I’ve checked it seems like they don’t have much political spending with the exception of Robert Bigelow who’s a right-wing megadonor. If you have no choice but to come to the US please consider avoiding anything he owns although judging from the Wikipedia article I think it’s unlikely you’ll encounter something he owns.

The EU should not approve any licenses or permits for any of Elon Musk’s companies no matter what. Musk has been attacking the EU, he needs to reap what he sows.

I’ve been sending emails to hotel companies and urging them to oppose this. I urge you to contact your congresspeople and also companies in the travel, hospitality and tourism industry and demand they oppose this policy and more broadly ask them to stand up to Trump because he’s causing people to rightfully boycott the US.

Also to everyone who is boycotting the US thank you so so much, I’m really grateful and as are so many Americans who also hate what the Trump regime is doing. The more people who boycott the more pressure it will put on companies to finally stand up against the Trump regime.

Remember when Republicans (pretended) to support free speech?

I don’t trust a word he says. Musk is a serial liar and there’s no evidence he’s changed his views. He’s never apologized for his previous. We must keep boycotting all his companies and never give up until he’s penniless and behind bars.

Thomas Massie, Anna Paulina Luna and Mike Lee should immediately withdraw from office so we can stop paying those Jim Crow relics their salaries. We should use that money to pay someone who will work for the people instead of total fealty to a dictators like Trump and Putin.

If you want change you got to direct your comments to the HDMI forum. Here we can talk about it forever and if they never see anything they won’t change. I sent the following email to: admin@hdmiforum.org

Dear HDMI Forum,

I was recently saw the news that the HDMI forum was blocking open source implementations of the HDMI 2.1 specifications and I want to express that I really believe this is a bad idea. I hope the HDMI Forum will consider allowing it. I can’t say I understand what the concern is or the reason for blocking it but I really doubt that whatever issue is envisioned will actually come to fruition, instead I believe that allowing open source implementations will be beneficial for adoption of the standard and since if I understand correctly the licensing fees are based on hardware sold so having open source code will of course not exempt anyone from HDMI licensing rules.

Thank you so much for your consideration,

Maybe it’s not perfect (I already wished I worded one sentence better) but I think what matters most is just trying your best and using your voice whenever you can. Be sure to send your email too, the more they receive hopefully the higher the chances that this works but of course be sure to use your own wording, I just put that here for an example.

Right, sometimes the actual articles aren’t so bad. Just be sure to always use an ad-blocker whenever you visit those websites so you’re not giving them your money or if you have ads enabled take note of who’s advertising and contact them and ask them to stop advertising on NY Post or other right-wing rags. For websites using Google Adwords see: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/2454012 and for Facebook see: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/255483958155378. By the way I found out about this method from Stop Funding Hate. Maybe if you find this interesting you can follow https://bsky.app/profile/stopfundinghate.bsky.social. They are focused on the UK but it’s a good model for how to do this kind of thing.

It seems you are right on this, I tried to see if other news papers reported on it and didn’t find much except some that seem based on the NY Post article. It’s actually surprising because usually it seems NY Post is not original reporting, they just add a right wing spin to stories already reported by more reputable news source.

The reason most other papers are not reporting on it is because it’s just the opinion of someone who’s not an elected official. He has no expertise on antisemtism or any credentials that I could find that make his opinion worthy of being reported (unless you count him being a CEO, I don’t think that counts but for a right-wing audience that matters more). What Murdoch papers do is structure their stories in a way that results in people especially those who don’t read closely to understand the story in a different way than if you read closely or to react in an emotional way. For example some people will glaze past the fact that it’s her brother and think that it was Jessica Tisch who said that. In addition for people who already don’t like Mamdani this story will stroke their ego and give them more confirmation bias and help enrich Murdoch a little bit through ad revenue.

By the way: they now have another article titled " NYPD boss Jessica Tisch apologizes to Mamdani after her brother calls him ‘enemy’ of Jewish people " https://archive.ph/vuLlj.

Why are you linking to NY Post? NY Post is owned by Rupert Murdoch, the same person who owns Fox News.

I say we should aim for boycott domination. Time to cancel those streaming subscriptions. Actually though I will say if you must cancel only some of your stream subscriptions I would cancel Paramount and CBS as my first choice to cancel because it’s owned David Ellison who is turning the companies he owns into right-wing propaganda machines.

Thank you so much for clarifying! Yes, now I understand it’s a powerful thought like they can’t stop me because I live in Sweden, I will keep protesting.

It reminds me of how many countries boycotted South Africa which helped end apartheid.

You got to vote and be active in politics and encourage as many people to do likewise. If more people did that the sum of our power would be far greater than the power of billionaires. We can then have reforms like regulating campaign contributions and lobbying and passing more regulations that protect the people.

For some countries there are things working against us. For example in the US billionaires have a lot of power and contribute heavily to politics in part due to the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United v. FEC which opened the floodgates for unlimited political spending and has really harmed our country. My solution to this is to encourage people to boycott companies that donate heavily to Republicans and most importantly encourage people to vote for people who will help stop all the corruption.

Bill Gates was ruthless during the 90s. Just as a random example he tried to make ACPI only work with Windows saying “It seems unfortunate if we do this work and get our partners to do the work and the result is that Linux works great without having to do the work” just as a random example.

Maybe he’s making up for it now but still it’s more complex than him just always being a good person.

I posted it there! Before I was worried to post there because I didn’t see any recent posts.

I was just thinking, one way to start adding Oracle might be to create a Database section and mention Oracle’s database and perhaps other closed source/bad solutions like Access and suggest open source alternatives like PostgreSQL and MariaDB.

I don’t know where this would fit in on the website but one company that is really important to boycott is Oracle. Larry Ellison is a mega right-wing donor and his son is buying up media companies for the purposes of turning them into right-wing propaganda machines.

One way everyone can make a difference is by uninstalling any Oracle software on your computer. You might have the Oracle JRE installed or if you’re into virtualization you may be using Virtualbox. It’s especially important to avoid Oracle software in a corporate setting because their lawyers may come after you. If you work for a company and you’re either involved in purchasing software or a software developer I would strongly recommend avoiding Oracle not just because of ethical reasons but also because typically they have their products are not as good from a technical standpoint as well.

For the Oracle JRE or JDK you can replace it with Adoptium. Adoptium is run by the Eclipse Foundation which is based in the EU.

For Virtualbox you can replace it with QEMU or Xen. For QEMU there are a lot of good GUI or CLI front-ends that make using it easy. See this article: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/QEMU/Front-ends note that some of the front-ends listing in that article also support Xen.

For Oracle’s database some say that PostgreSQL is a good competitor. For this one I acknowledge the topic is more complex. I’m just going to leave it at for new designs please consider avoiding Oracle’s database if you can. Oracle has a bad reputation among programmers for a reason.
