Google sometimes deplatforms people as well. Regardless of one’s politics, one can’t be positive it won’t happen to them should the winds change.

What is the recommended on-ramp for someone with a CS degree and a networking background?
If I could have the engineering and enterprise acumen and portfolio and cash he does I would love nothing more than to be called a loser. That’s winning to me!
If you’re going to cite antisemitism, please tell me you don’t own any of these…
Volkswagen was literally started by the Third Reich and, along with Auto Union (then-parent of Audi), BMW, Ford, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, utilized slave labor during WWII.
Henry Ford received the highest civilian honor bestowed by the Third Reich, the Grand Cross of the German Eagle.
While we’re at it, make sure you don’t have anything from the Associated Press (censored for and collaborated with the Third Reich), Chase (sold war bonds for the Third Reich), Hugo Boss (slave labor and Propaganda materials), IBM (provided information processing for extermination of Jews) or Agfa / BASF / Bayer (came from IG Farben, makers of Zyklon B used to exterminate Jews in gas chambers).
Do I use any of the above? Yes. My work van was assembled by Ford Otosan of Turkey. I have an upcoming trip insured by Allianz (provided insurance for concentration camp facilities and workers). I’m not the one objecting on the grounds of antisemitism, though.
I’ve never seen evidence of Elon Musk being an antisemite, but for the sake of discussion, let’s say it’s true. How many Jews have he or his enterprises exterminated?
Oh, and crush Hamas, people who properly exterminate Jews.

Because it’s the in thing on Reddit in the Fediverse to hate Elon Musk.
Any intelligence agency who legitimately thought that app was ever secure after simple OSINT techniques reveal otherwise needs to be overhauled from the top down.
Skyyy roc-kets in flight!
I’m not condoning any of his alleged actions, but it’s neither Apple’s nor Alphabet’s place to unduly influence what I as a user do, say, think or feel.
Something on which we can all agree.
Oh, yes, please!!!
Getting in and out of a higher-riding vehicle with an upright seating position is more natural and comfortable, particularly for the elderly and/or infirm. Furthermore, we have engineered away most of the drawbacks of crossovers and SUVs.
Not anymore they’re not. Not in the U.S., at least.
Well, when a County drops nearly a million dollars on a bus stop, it’s not hard to understand why.
According to Eric Stephen Raymond, open source is creating more jobs than it destroys. Furthermore, how many software companies have fallen due to an open source competitor?
There’s a business phone switch owned by many of our customers for which licenses for file-based music-on-hold are no longer available from the manufacturer. An old iPod / Nomad / Zune / etc. fits the bill to connect to its built-in, no-additional-license-required music-on-hold audio port perfectly. It even comes with its own built-in UPS.
I wish solar panels were more affordable
Couldn’t agree more. As we age it’s important that we take a more proactive approach towards caring for our well-being. It’s an investment in our respective future quality of life.
MAC spoofing is kinda like Geico.com…
Check your blood sugar. Check it often. And call Liberty Medical. They’re people who can help you live a better life.
Not saying we shouldn’t donate to worthy causes, but if we’re going to call using free software without paying abuse, then there are many technology users to round up.
