taylus··on Making the dislike count private across YouTube
Same, subbed for years and just cancelled. Was hoping they’d ask why but they don’t care.

alt-righters love to larp about civil war, ton of them in this thread

Yeah it’s not like they killed a cop and dragged an enemy flag through the senate
taylus··on Facebook Indefinitely Suspends Trump

taylus··on Apple is threatening to terminate my developer account with no clear reason
> All the skills I have built over the course of almost a decade are obsolete now, because I do not imagine myself working for other people as an iOS dev without having my own hobby iOS apps on the App Store. It feels like all the blogging I have been doing has been a waste because I cannot participate in the knowledge I myself write, and it’s pointless to engage in the knowledge of others if I cannot try what they write.

The fact that a faceless entity can lock you out of developing like this is just wrong. I fear for the future of such closed off ecosystems.

taylus··on Trump threatens to 'close' down social media platforms
Exactly. This fits right into his playbook of (1) cry loudly about something and say you’re going to take action (2) do nothing while his base gets pumped on how Trump is “hard on Twitter” and not putting up with their obvious bias (3) the next scandal drops in a week, everybody moves on and forgets.
