Facebook pulls 'Gay Communists for Socialism' group which trolled Trump supporters

Whatever you do on Facebook, make sure you don't change your group name to mock deluded users who've gone all in on the baseless claim that voter fraud tipped the 2020 U.S. election to President-elect Joe Biden.

Facebook confirmed Monday that it removed a group, "Gay Communists for Socialism," for misleading its users. The group was originally titled "Stop the Steal," and was created after another "Stop the Steal" Facebook group went viral spreading election misinformation. The entire thing, at least when it came to the latter "Stop the Steal" group, was a setup.

As Rolling Stone reported on Friday, "Gay Communists for Socialism" (née "Stop the Steal") was created explicitly as a honeypot. The idea was to attract confused conspiracy theorists looking for a place to revel in their delusions after Facebook shut down the initial "Stop the Steal" group on Thursday. Then, once it had grown to around 60,000 users, an admin of the reborn "Stop the Steal" group changed the group's name to "Gay Communists for Socialism." Read more...

How to watch Apple's 'One More Thing' event

The wait is almost over — Apple will officially unveil "one more thing" on Tuesday, Nov. 10 via livestream right from Apple Park. For those of you planning to tune in to the event, here's where you can watch.

Starting at 10 a.m. PT, you can stream the keynote right from Apple's website or opt to stream from the company's own YouTube channel.

If you own an Apple TV device or another smart TV, you can also watch it on the big screen through the Apple TV app.

Apple remains tight-lipped as far as what's going to be announced, exactly. But it's very likely we'll see the company's first Mac with its own silicon. The transition from Intel to an in-house chip was originally announced at WWDC back in June, with a projected launch date towards the end of 2020. Read more...

Keep up with climate justice by following these five organizations

What is Parler? Everything you need to know about the conservative social network.

If you look at Apple's App Store charts today, you'll find an app called Parler sitting at the top of the free app category.

Haven't heard of Parler? Let us explain.

What is Parler?

Parler is a social network founded by John Matze and Jared Thomson, two Nevada-based conservative programmers, in 2018. The website bills itself as a “free speech” microblogging alternative to platforms like Twitter. In the founders' opinions, big tech companies clearly have an anti-conservative bias and censor those views.

During the summer of 2020, Parler became particularly popular with conservatives and Trump supporters as big social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter cracked down on misinformation. Users falsely claimed that new rules were targeting conservatives and that they'd been silenced. Read more...

I spent a weekend trying Sennheiser’s new CX 400BT True Wireless headphones

Confession time – I am a die-hard full-sized headphone addict. Give me over the ears, all encompassing, sweat-on-the-train in summer because you’re basically wearing earmuffs – headphones kind of gal. At times they’ve made me look slightly ridiculous (bigger has always been better), and more often than not they’ve ended up covered in makeup and awkwardly stuffed into a small bag, but I’ve never been able to listen to my tunes any other way

Like most music lovers, I’m uncompromising when it comes to great sound. I like my bass to thump, my treble to sparkle and my vocals as clear as day. So, naturally I had a good old chuckle when I realised I’d be spending my weekend listening to my favourite tunes through the earbuds I had always deemed the lesser choice. But here we are. I put my tried and tested Sennheiser HD 206’s aside and instead picked up the new CX 400BT True Wireless Sennheiser headphones to finally give these earbuds a little airtime. Read more...
