OhSnap!Dragon<p>The new ICEBlock app that is causing Stephen Miller & his racist, Nazi SS agents to go apoplectic with impotent rage.<br>Works like WAZE, a GPS app in which you report accidents, slow traffic, police, etc., for other users.<br>If you see ICE (or people pretending to be ICE) activity at your location, report it in the app to warn others.<br>It would be really bad for Miller's blood pressure if you downloaded the app and spread the word by Boosting ♻️ this post.<br><a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/FuckICE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FuckICE</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/ICE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ICE</span></a> <br><a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/ICEBlock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ICEBlock</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/ICEBlockApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ICEBlockApp</span></a></p>

Ryan Parman<p>Tech YouTube keeps pushing videos to me about “iOS 26”.</p><p>STOP IT. There’s no scoop. This is stupid.</p><p>At best, it’s just Apple pulling a Microsoft.

Ryan Parman<p>I’ve been using Siri to dictate messages for years. The fact that this even exists, and it is so easy to use, is awesome.</p><p>However…</p><p>Anytime I use technical jargon or acronyms that the built-in dictionary doesn’t know about, it constantly misspells those things. And, to my knowledge, I have no way to update the built-in dictation dictionary with new words or spellings.</p><p>1. Apple needs to get its shit together.<br />2. Are there alternatives to when it comes to dictating messages in apps like Messages or Slack?</p>

Ryan Parman<p>The suggestion that DEI is about hiring unqualified people simply because they’re not white men is utterly preposterous. I was lied to about this topic when I was growing up, can I speculate that many others were too. </p><p>It’s about leveling the playing field so that qualified people of all backgrounds have the same opportunities. For those with disabilities, neurodivergence, or similar challenges, DEI policies ensure equal access for those who are qualified.</p><p><a href="https://bit.ly/4iqjfyg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">bit.ly/4iqjfyg</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

Ryan Parman<p>We MUST be willing to call out politicians for bad behavior, even if we voted for them.</p><p>Some people think that guns are what’s going to protect them from government overreach. But those people are wrong. We live in a digital age, and the best tool to protect us from government overreach is end-to-end encryption. </p><p>Obama, Clinton, Trump, and Biden have all been 100% wrong on this topic. It isn’t about whether or not you have anything to hide. Instead, it’s the fact that privacy is a fundamental human right. And if you don’t protect those rights, they will be taken from you.</p><p><a href="https://daringfireball.net/linked/2025/02/26/wapo-biden-justice-department-backdoor" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">daringfireball.net/linked/2025</span><span class="invisible">/02/26/wapo-biden-justice-department-backdoor</span></a></p>
