Not just Apple: Microsoft has been quietly lobbying to kill Right to Repair bills

Apple pioneered the use of dirty tricks and lobbying to kill Right to Repair legislation, but they’re not the only tech player who’s putting lobbying muscle into ensuring that you can’t decide who fixes your stuff (and when it is “unfixable” and must be sent to the landfill).

Rep. Jeff Morris told iFixit Repair Radio that national Right to Repair legislation was killed by Microsoft, in a piece of horse trading that saw Microsoft backing funding for STEM education in exchange for Right to Repair (and unrelated privacy rules) dying.

I feel like a lot of people tend to forget that the antivax movement is the result of ableism and a hatred of autistic people especially autistic children. It’s not based off of a “trend” it’s core reason for being a “thing” is because of ableism, so like…yeah make fun of antivaxers but can we please remember that they are always ableist pieces of garbage that would rather their child die slowly and painfully from a preventable disease than live and be autistic.

also remember that Andrew Wakefield - the doctor who first claimed that vaccines cause autism - knew/knows that vaccines don’t actually do that. he just saw people with autism as an easy target for, specifically, anti-MMR propaganda because he was trying to develop a competing measles vaccine. his paper was retracted and he lost his medical license, but the damage was already done.

i think about this video a lot

Wtf is going on

Hey y’all film crew member here. For those of you asking, they’re running like that to stay out of the shot.  For us crew we TRY OUR HARDEST TO NOT GET FILMED. IT’S IMPORTANT. It’s like playing the floor is lava but with a side of “you’re fired” if you lose too many times.  We’ll do anythING to not be seen. Duck around corners, dive under tables, jump in the bushes, assume fetal position on the floor, climb trees, get in the robot, hide in the trojan horse, become a vampire, you fuckin name it.  My fav game while watching a movie is “guess where the crew is hiding in this shot” it’s great fun you should try it.  The only problem in this particular shot is there is nowhere to hide except behind the camera which IS MOVING REALLY FAST.  Why they didn’t just leave the room I have no idea. it could be any number of reasons. Time, lack of proper equipment, need to supervise/direct, etc.  The real question is how the hell did Gaga not fucking lose it seeing a herd of film nerds scamper desperately in circles behind the camera

My mum uses a carpooling app to take passengers every time she visits my grandmother three hours away, and each time she checks the “women only” box so that her ride offer is invisible to men using this app (partly for safety and partly because she too thinks men smell bad and stink up her car)—and very frequently, a woman ends up booking a ride for 2 passengers and shows up with a surprise male because bi/het women are constantly trying to sneak their boyfriends in spaces where they aren’t wanted. And they always seem surprised and offended when my mum tells them sorry, but no. Sometimes it’s only the dude who needs the ride and his girlfriend lets him use her account so he has access to the female-only rides, so my mum thinks she has 3 women to carpool with this weekend and on Saturday morning, 3 men show up. This is small in the grand scheme of things but god is it a recurrent pattern, “sure it says no men allowed but you can’t possibly mean to exclude my very special boyfriend??” @mlw your boyfriend sucks, no one but you wants him around, stop trying to inflict his presence on unwilling women.
