If the 2024 EP election in Germany - were the AfD was twice as strong among young (16-24) men than among young women (see: https://bsky.app/profile/nilssteiner.bsky.social/post/3lhlenurjhs2g) - are any indication, these gender gaps were even likely much larger among younger voters. [contains...

Apple to fix iPhone dictation bug that replaces word ‘racist’ with ‘Trump’

However, the glitch caused outrage among some conservative commentators in the US, who have long accused big tech companies of political bias against those on the right.

The bug also called into question Apple’s artificial intelligence capabilities, only a day after the company announced a $500bn (£395bn) investment in the US, widely interpreted as a move designed to appeal to Donald Trump’s government.

This has to be one of the biggest opsec fails I've ever seen in my life. The actual director of the FBI driving around in the most conspicuous vehicle imaginable made even more so by it being neon red.

Just the absurdity of it all has me laughing. The US has become the laughing stock of the world.

Looks like Apple shareholders are little more than woke commies.

Apple shareholders reject proposal to scrap company’s diversity programs

Apple shareholders rebuffed an attempt to pressure the technology trendsetter into joining President Donald Trump’s push to scrub corporate programs designed to diversify its workforce.

The proposal drafted by the National Center for Public Policy Research — a self-described conservative think tank — urged Apple to follow a litany of high-profile companies that have retreated from diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives currently in the Trump administration’s crosshairs.

After a brief presentation about the anti-DEI proposal, Apple announced shareholders had rejected it. In a regulatory filing submitted Tuesday evening, Apple disclosed that 97% of the outstanding shares that cast ballots voted against the measure.

That will presumably bring the Washington Post into frequent conflict with the administration over tariffs, abortion rights, gender identity, freedom of speech about the climate emergency and fossil fuels, etc.

No, not that free market. They just want to openly hate minorities and the poor again.

One lucky fellow had been credited $81tn. instead of $280 by the Citi Bank on his account. Ooopsie! It was later reverted back after a short amount of time.

But hey - must have felt good to have 2.5x the US federal debt on assets on your own bank account!

Citi employee's typo leads to an $81 trillion transaction error

Citi’s technology team instructed the payments processing employee to manually input the transactions into a rarely used backup screen. One quirk of the program was that the amount field came pre-populated with 15 zeros, which the person inputting a transaction needed to delete, something that did not happen.

wtf??
