Are nations sovereign if they strangely get a coup if they don’t do what the US wants, or is it possible that the US might quite literally be a colonizer?

Personally, I think massive surveillance by the government is a much better option for them. Apple could cooperate with this (they already do in PRISM, maybe they could hand over data) but this would be much more effective than shutdowns.
Communicate and give away your secrets, comrades, and we’ll be watching, always watching… :fbi-posting:
Would depend on whether it would be in their interests to do so IMHO
You could make the case either way
Still a decent amount of micro-USB and mini-USB devices around, not to mention iPhones took until 2023 to transition
Just preemptively nationalize all corporations — would be much faster and would get the same result
Apple forced to continue selling the iPhone 2G in 2147 despite not even displaying the correct date and time due to overflow
There’s no way a communist revolution would work in the USA right now so you’re going to need more context in this hypothetical world where a communist revolution has a chance of succeeding.
I wish it were possible to believe otherwise, but history doesn’t seem to support that belief.
Would it?
If Russia did another communist revolution, Apple probably would face more damage in doing anything overtly than they’d gain from just silently participating in PRISM and doing nothing at all.
They could make things more difficult by shutting down Apple services unless you’re on a brand new totally not malware update similar to how they did a shutdown with iOS 11.
They could try to deploy malware with known vulnerabilities if people block updates.
They’d have to be really compelled though, because it would severely damage their reputation and they do like their billions rolling in
I love how they portrayed the American Canal between Canada and Mexico

If you post on Hexbear’s Dunk Tank, it’s required to not censor.
I censor if I respect the person otherwise if it weren’t for a bad take or in the case there is no publicly accessible link to the post for dunking.
If the takes aren’t bad, I would see no reason to not censor though because we would be supporting it…?

Census Bureau: US Child poverty in 2022 more than doubled from 2021
The staggering rise follows the GOP and Manchin's crusade to kill the expanded child care credit.

Liberals are blaming Manchin. I’ll leave this unaltered from the original Lemmy post for your pleasure reading:
> The United States’ poverty rate experienced its largest one-year jump on record last year, with the rate among children more than doubling from 2021’s historic low of 5.2 percent to 12.4 percent according to new numbers from the US Census Bureau out today. They’re the latest data to reflect the devastating effects following the expiration of nearly all pandemic-era relief programs. That includes the end of Medicaid rules that protected recipients from getting kicked off because of administrative errors, an end to rental assistance policies, and the restart of student loan payments. > > These policies might seem like a distant memory at this point. But they’re worth recalling with the arrival of every new report. Each demonstrates what happens when politicians long hostile to caregivers, universal health care, and the welfare state, for a brief moment, acted to create powerful, federally-backed safety net programs aimed at helping everyday Americans. One of the most effective programs to emerge was the expansion of the child tax credit, which provided families monthly checks of up to $300 per child and broadened eligibility rules for qualifying families. In turn, child poverty rates plummeted; the extra income allowed caregivers to quit grueling second and third jobs; parents were able to buy their kids decent clothes and help stop taunting at school. The Census Bureau previously reported that food insecurity dropped dramatically after just the first extended payment, from 10.7 million households reporting they didn’t have enough food to 7.4 million. > > But as the pandemic receded, Republicans with the help of West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, who in private remarks reportedly warned that families were using the extra income to buy drugs, appeared to remember the country’s longstanding pre-pandemic hostility. Their opposition ultimately tanked President Biden’s agenda, and along with it, the brief life of the expanded child tax credit. That’s something worth remembering today as the predictable crowd is likely to cry about Democratic-engineered inflation.

The mercurial billionaire turned off Starlink communications just ahead of a submersible drone attack, thinking that the assault might unleash nuclear war, according to a forthcoming book.

> >SpaceX chief executive Elon Musk reportedly caused a geopolitical crisis last year, when Ukrainian forces—which have relied heavily on the company’s Starlink satellite communications—were on the verge of striking Russian naval vessels off the coast of Crimea with submersible drones. Concerned that the attack would provoke Russia into using nuclear weapons, Musk unilaterally opted to sever the submarines’ satellite connection, throwing a wrench in the entire assault. > > >The incident—shared by CNN based on an adapted excerpt from an upcoming book by Walter Isaacson—demonstrates Musk’s increasing unwillingness to lend his satellite network to offensive maneuvers waged by Ukraine. “How am I in this war?” “Starlink was not meant to be involved in wars. It was so people can watch Netflix and chill and get online for school and do good peaceful things, not drone strikes.” > > >After foiling the attack, Musk reportedly received a desperate text from a Ukrainian deputy prime minister, Mykhailo Fedorov, who asked that Musk reinstate the Starlink connection to the drones. “I just want you—the person who is changing the world through technology—to know this,” Fedorov wrote. But Musk refused to reverse course, telling Fedorov that Ukraine “is now going too far and inviting strategic defeat.” > > Apparently he was worried that the assault would provoke nuclear war. Musk showing actual thought for the first time in ever.
