  • The genocide of native americans and slavery of black people are the unchallenged, most shameful acts of the US. Nothing will ever top that. I hate to break it to you: the treatment and negative opinions of canadians by US policies is a footnote compared to chattel slavery and genocide—neither of which targeted white Canadians. Do not ever let yourself again believe otherwise.

    We had the internet in 2007 my guy, and apple sold macbooks and imacs. I know. I was there. It was awesome. web ads and user interfaces didn’t take manipulative interactive psychology and science seriously back then—that wasn’t until android got popular. And we didn’t have Cambridge Analytica. We didn’t have personalized ads or the user base. It wasn’t until android really that put smartphones in everyone’s hands. I remember the dev conferences about getting the next billion users by making everything accessible and localized. It made great i18n tech but was specifically for google’s advertising purposes. Facebook capatalized with Facebook and buying instagram (ios exclusive originally. Facebook put it on that next billion Android) and whatsapp (part of that ‘next billion’ world in asia already)
