Within hours of the deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations being announced last week, Issam Hijazi noticed a big uptick in users to his social media platform UpScrolled. That stream of disgruntled users fleeing TikTok over censorship concerns turned into a flood this week, crashing UpScrolled’s servers.

UpScrolled, launched last July, supports text posts, photos, short-form videos, stories and other features. It claims to be a platform with “no censorship” and “no shadowbans.” On Monday, it ranked among the top 10 free apps on Apple’s App Store, and No. 2 among social network apps. It hit more than 1 million users from just 40,000.

“You all showed up so fast our servers tapped out,” UpScrolled said in an Instagram post on Monday. “We’re a tiny team building an alternative to the platforms that stopped listening to you. Right now, we’re scaling and running on caffeine to keep up with what YOU started. Bear with us. We’re on it.”

UpScrolled is backed by the Tech for Palestine incubator, an advocacy project that helps fund tech initiatives to support the Palestinian cause. Hijazi, a Palestinian-Australian, spoke to Rest of World on the sidelines of a conference on Saturday.

Tim Cook, Apple CEO is causing serious harm to Apple’s brand.

Cook’s presence at the White House screening of Melania on Saturday should be the last straw for Apple shareholders and the Apple Board of Directors. There is nothing to justify his presence other than sheer clueless stupidity.

Cook is harming Apple’s brand through his association with Trump. Cook’s actions:
- Personally gave $1 million to Trump’s inaugural committee
- Apple/Cook is/has donated to Trump’s ballroom
- Cook attempting to curry favors from Trump with trivial gifts and attendance at Mara Lago and the WhiteHouse

Cook’s actions will not benefit Apple. Association with Trump always leads to negative outcomes and will only harm Apple’s brand.

There’s no excuse or justification for Cook’s actions. It’s time for Tim Cook to go.

#Apple #AppleCEO #TimCook #Politics #Trump #Brand #Branding #Business #Technology

Apple CEO Tim Cook attended Saturday’s private screening of Melania, the documentary about First Lady Melania Trump, at the White House, and many online commenters have reacted by excoriating Cook and calling for boycotts of Apple products.

Cook, who is gay, is among many tech leaders who have cozied up to Donald Trump and his family. Other tech CEOs who were at the screening included Andy Jassy of Amazon, Eric Yuan of Zoom, and Lisa Su of AMD, Yahoo! News reports. They were among about 70 guests at the East Room screening. The film is from Amazon Studios.

The event came just hours after Alex Pretti was shot to death by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis. The 37-year-old nurse was observing and protesting operations by Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and video shows him trying to help a woman who was being pepper-sprayed before agents wrestled him to the ground and shot him multiple times. The Trump administration has tried to paint this as a case of self-defense by federal agents, as it did with the killing of Renee Nicole Good, but in both cases, video shows otherwise.

“If you’re a CEO willing to sit in the company of this regime, your ‘shareholder value’ excuse feels pretty blood-soaked tonight,” Lincoln Project cofounder and former Republican political consultant Rick Wilson posted on X.

— (@)

“It’s revolting — especially Tim Cook,” one person wrote in response to Wilson’s post. “I’m never buying another Apple product in my life — even though I have several [expletive] dozen!”

“Tim Cook and Andy Jassy — and the rest—are accommodating an authoritarian who is presiding over a secret police force killing American citizens,” commented David Corn, Washington bureau chief for the liberal magazine Mother Jones. “The blood of Renee Good and Alex Pretti is on the hands of those who enable Trump. Hope they like the movie.”

Adam Cochran, a professor and consultant, addressed Cook in an X post: “As one of the few Silicon Valley folks I know has a spine hidden somewhere, I have to ask you: How was this movie? The one you watched while Americans were shot. While ICE tracking apps were banned from the App Store. While you stayed silent on Trump. The one you were invited to by the man you donated $1M to the inauguration fund of? The same man who shits on the rights and values you’ve worked hard for at Apple — like environmental causes and LGTBQ rights? How was that movie Tim? Was it worth the price of admission?”

— (@)

Cook has caught more flak than the others who attended the screening precisely because of those liberal values. He was the first out gay CEO of a Fortune 500 company, and he has spoken out against anti-transgender “bathroom bills” and “license to discriminate” legislation. His X bio includes a quote from Martin Luther King Jr.: “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’”

An X user commented, “I think @tim_cook should take the MLK quote out of his bio. Feels off-brand for the guy who attended a private screening of the Brett Ratner MELANIA doc.”

Ratner has largely been shunned in the movie business since he was accused of sexual misconduct, allegations that first surfaced in 2017 (he has denied any wrongdoing). Melania represents a comeback for Ratner, who lived at the Trumps’ Mar-a-Lago mansion during filming, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

“Ratner is also set to direct ‘Rush Hour 4’ for Paramount after President Trump reportedly pressed owner Larry Ellison to revive the stalled franchise,” the Los Angeles Times reports.

Cook was photographed with Ratner at the screening, where other guests included former boxer and convicted rapist Mike Tyson.

So far Cook has not responded to the criticism, nor has Apple.

If you believe this was a mistake, let us know so we can review this along with recent messages.

As evidence, the lawsuit cites unnamed “courageous whistleblowers” who allege that WhatsApp and Meta employees can request to view a user’s messages through a simple process, thus bypassing the app’s end-to-end encryption. “A worker need only send a ‘task’ (i.e., request via Meta’s internal system) to a Meta engineer with an explanation that they need access to WhatsApp messages for their job,” the lawsuit claims. “The Meta engineering team will then grant access – often without any scrutiny at all – and the worker’s workstation will then have a new window or widget available that can pull up any WhatsApp user’s messages based on the user’s User ID number, which is unique to a user but identical across all Meta products.”

“Once the Meta worker has this access, they can read users’ messages by opening the widget; no separate decryption step is required,” the 51-page complaint adds. “The WhatsApp messages appear in widgets commingled with widgets containing messages from unencrypted sources. Messages appear almost as soon as they are communicated – essentially, in real-time. Moreover, access is unlimited in temporal scope, with Meta workers able to access messages from the time users first activated their accounts, including those messages users believe they have deleted.” The lawsuit does not provide any technical details to back up the rather sensational claims.

I surveyed 200 active developers to gauge the average weight of a modern Laravel application. The results highlighted a distinct split in the community regarding the "Build vs. Buy" mentality.

Over half of the respondents (54%) fall into the 6–15 package range. Given standard best practices today involving tools like PHPStan, Pint, and Debugbar, this feels like the industry standard.

Some members of the international games development community are staying away from the Game Developers Conference (GDC), set to take place in March, because of the political climate in the U.S. @Aftermath's Luke Plunkett spoke to nine past attendees about exactly why they've decided to give it a miss: Concerns for their personal safety, as well as a desire not to support anything taking place in the U.S.

As the world marks Holocaust Remembrance Day, experts say that social networks are being overrun with AI-generated content about the Holocaust, some of it exploiting the horrors of Nazi crimes for clickbait, some seeking to deny or trivialize them. Jens-Christian Wagner, director of the foundation that manages the Buchenwald and Mittelbau-Dora memorials, points to images of "well-fed prisoners, meant to suggest that conditions in concentration camps weren't really that bad." Here's more from AFP News.

#WritersCoffeeClub January 27: What’s a technical skill you think should be more widespread?

I don't know. I tend to think if there are things that folks should know that folks tend not to know, it's a failure of the tech industry rather than a personal failing.

With that in mind ... what questions do you have? Is there something I can help with?

I'm fluent with Windows, Debian flavors of Linux, and reasonably fluent with Mac. I won't tell you to switch to my favorite operating system or give you crap for using the 'wrong' software. ​​

How the “Netflix Movie” Turns Cinema into “Visual Muzak”

This is probably fine, right? @ProPublica reports on how Trump's transportation department plans to use Google Gemini to draft regulations. The agency's remit includes practically all transportation safety. "We don’t need the perfect rule on XYZ. We don’t even need a very good rule on XYZ," said Department of Transportation general counsel Gregory Zerzan in a meeting. "We want good enough."

Hacktivist deletes white supremacist websites live onstage during hacker conference

‚A hacktivist remotely wiped three white supremacist websites live onstage during their talk at a hacker conference last week, with the sites yet to return online.
The pseudonymous hacker, who goes by Martha Root — dressed as Pink Ranger from the Power Rangers — deleted the servers of WhiteDate, WhiteChild, and WhiteDeal in real time at the end of a talk at the annual Chaos Communication Congress in Hamburg, Germany….‘

How Hackers Are Fighting Back Against ICE

‚ICE has been invading U.S. cities, targeting, surveilling, harassing, assaulting, detaining, and torturing people who are undocumented immigrants. They also have targeted people with work permits, asylum seekers, permanent residents (people holding “green cards”), naturalized citizens, and even citizens by birth. ICE has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on surveillance technology to spy on anyone—and potentially everyone—in the United States. It can be hard to imagine how to defend oneself against such an overwhelming force.

But a few enterprising hackers have started projects to do counter surveillance against ICE, and hopefully protect their communities through clever use of technology….‘

It was closing time at NAMM Media Day. I didn't care.
Alexander Chadwick from PRS Guitars was right there, and I had questions that go beyond spec sheets.

We talked about #technology and #creativity. Whether innovation helps musicians or gets in the way. Why we chase vintage guitars like holy relics—and why the magical ones now cost more than houses.

His answer: "Our goal is to create a guitar that gets out of the way so the person can be more expressive."

That's it. That's what great tools do. They disappear so you can create.

#PRSguitars unveiled two limited editions at the show:
🎸 John Mayer Wild Blue Silver Sky – first matching headstock Silver Sky
🎸 Ed Sheeran Semi-Hollow Piezo Baritone – 27.7" scale, his original artwork on every guitar

But the real story isn't the gear. It's the philosophy behind it.

Technology isn't good or bad. It's how you use it.

Instruments aren't the destination. They're the vehicle.

Impact starts when one person makes first step forward which encourages others to do the same.

A very persistent LLM scraper just gave my website a free stress test: 10k+ requests to a non-existent endpoint in under 24 hours

The result? Zero downtime. Zero performance degradation. And if i did not check the analytics I wouldhave missed it.
This is why I advocate for modern stacks like Traefik paired with FrankenPHP. The ability to handle high concurrency with minimal resource usage is a game changer for #PHP applications.

"Throughout space there is energy. Is this energy static or kinetic! If static our hopes are in vain; if kinetic — and this we know it is, for certain — then it is a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of nature."

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) thinking. Tesla is seated in a dimly lit study or laboratory. He wears a dark, tailored suit, complete with a high-collared white shirt and a neatly tied bowtie, reflecting his elegant style. His slender frame and sharp features are illuminated by soft, focused light, emphasizing his high cheekbones, deep-set eyes, and slightly furrowed brow.
