It’s not about woke and it is kind of sad you think it is. I guess their propaganda works pretty well if you believe it.

I would suggest it was about eliminating several investigations into Felon Musk. It is being used to feed important government and citizen data into an organization like Cambridge Analytics which will be used to manipulate our elections. It is also being used as cover for a series of epic pump and dumps.

The whole woke thing is literally a joke. These guys are in it to make money and keep people divided with their made up culture war.

The war you speak of is a class war and until people wake up and work together to fix the very real economic issues we are facing we are all going to suffer.

We are an empire in decline and these fuckers want to steal what is left of our future for their benefit.

Yeah, I think you are missing a little too much context to have this conversation. HaVe PhUn!

This 2nd amendment fantasy of your is just that. Having grown up with militia people I can tell you they would far more likely be assisting ICE instead of fighting them nowadays.

Protesting hasn’t even started yet, have you seen videos from the civil rights movements?

It is kind of sad because you have been defeated before you have even gotten started and the only solution you can come up with is to form an armed gang. Very tribal and basic as fuck (see history)

I will say having a militaristic element could be useful in negotiating, but unfortunately without discipline it could cause far more harm than good.

Only for like 60 years or so now.

Please daddy Putin stop slaughtering innocents for a month. Pathetic.

Not going to argue there, but what is your point?

Yes, resistance and protesting. Everyone stop buying and a work strike. There are tons of ways other than running around murdering people. I know you guys are just a bunch of edgelords but you really should educate yourself on how to solve these problems.

We could definitely use an extremist co-opted faction to help with negotiations, but once that devolves into terrorism it becomes a lot harder to get what you want.

Ah yes just what California and Nevada needs, appliances that use more water. This is so brain dead. Also these companies want to sell these machines on the world market.

It is like reversing a law about seatbelt requirements in cars. Manufactures are still going to include them so they can sell them to other markets.

Performative waste of time and resources.

He wants in on the real estate deal, it is pretty obvious.

It is all very logical, unfortunately they don’t write laws for the people in our current system. I am afraid it would take a lot of resistance to change things and most people have been lulled into a learned helplessness state.

We are sorely missing some serious laws about privacy.

Relocating and rehousing people is incredibly expensive.

For sure, we should have laws protecting ownership.

This is all perfectly normal immigration and customs enforcement. We will call them the “Nice Troops”.

Not actually understanding what is being said or what is going on and completely lacking perspective is not a good look.

Please read the article I referenced. Most of their gripes are also issues found in Windows. Also OP’s article is clearly written from a constructive criticism point of view that I appreciate. Keeping software accessible is hard work and proprietary software is not some magic bullet.

I think you are taking this all out of context hence why I told you to get off your high horse. Apparently you decided to climb onto an even higher horse instead. You are not echoing anything but your rather alarmist perspective. See below for excerpts about Windows accessability.

"A concrete example of a product that simply cannot be used by the blind, but which is an integral security component used in employment situations, is Microsoft’s BitLocker software, which provides full disk encryption. BitLocker requires the user to enter a PIN (personal identification number) before the full Windows operating system is started. While competing full-disk encryption programs have offered the ability to generate an audible tone that can be used to alert the blind user that information needs to be entered, BitLocker offers no such indication. Despite years of repeated entreaties by blind people for Microsoft to fix this problem, we have yet to see a version of BitLocker that addresses this issue. A blind employee who is required to use a computer with Microsoft BitLocker installed will be unable to turn the computer on and get it running—not to mention use it.

Microsoft SharePoint, a program used by many institutions (many of which employ the blind), is not fully accessible to the blind. SharePoint has been found to be so frustrating for the nonvisual user that a third-party vendor believes that it can sell an add-on solution to large enterprises (e.g., state or federal agencies) that costs as much as $12,000 for a single user license. If Microsoft’s accessibility effort were working, a product that is as widely used as SharePoint would already be as convenient and effective for the nonvisual user as it is for everyone else.

There does not appear to be any user-experience research being conducted by Microsoft into improving efficiency for keyboard-only users, including the blind. This has already had a negative impact on keyboard-only users of the spell checker in Word 2013, which no longer provides accelerator keys to speed up the selection of options when spelling errors are detected.

Microsoft struggles to implement an API (application program interface) which makes it easier for screen-access software to get information about application states, messages, and controls. Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA) and User Interface Automation (UIA), two examples of existing accessibility APIs, have existed within the Windows operating system for many years, but they have apparently not done much to solve the accessibility problem. While I applaud the fact that Microsoft has worked hard to ensure that Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 have worked with updated releases of screen-access software on the day they were released to the public, it must also be recognized that, in order for this to have happened, the screen-access software vendors (very small companies in relation to Microsoft) had to devote considerable resources to make this happen. It would be better if these relatively small companies could spend more time and effort coming up with innovations that improve the efficiency and productivity of blind users of their software.

Unlike its main competitors on desktop and mobile platforms, Microsoft has failed to provide built-in support for refreshable Braille displays to be connected to and used on its various platforms. This is particularly vexing for users who are both deaf and blind for whom refreshable Braille displays are the only way to interact with computer software. The Apple Macintosh and the Apple iPhone support a variety of refreshable Braille displays without requiring the customer to install device-specific drivers, and these products entered the market well after Microsoft began working on accessibility.

The maintenance, setup, and recovery of Microsoft Windows continue to be inaccessible to the blind. Consequently, there is an added cost in time and/or money to the blind user, who has to bring in (and often pay for) sighted assistance to install, upgrade, or repair a Windows system. This situation is unacceptable—especially given the fact that Apple OS X and iOS operating systems incorporate accessibility tools that enable the blind computer user to perform maintenance, upgrade, and recovery tasks without sighted assistance. Moreover, this problem curtails the ability of the blind to accept Windows system support jobs in information technology."

Uh yeah, nothing like a violent revolution to make things better. I shudder to think about the kind of authoritarian government that would be created out of fellow citizens murdering each other.

We need a peaceful revolution. Anything else is just tantamount to exponentially more human suffering.

Woah their partner, major software developers have been having similar issues with accessibility for decades now. For instance the ability for the blind to deal with Windows if it crashes or errors out is pretty much non-existent.

Google isn’t much better breaking accessability in the name of protecting content.

So I will have to respectfully tell you to get off your high horse.

Love this perspective shot.
