Why do airlines ask if you're traveling with "children ages 2-17", when those same "children" end up paying the same rate as adults? 🤬 🤬

Since #Microsoft #Recall will not record DRM'd content, maybe running a DRM'd movie in a small window on your PC will disable it from recording the entire screen/desktop?

Also, how does it work across multiple monitors? Take a shot of the entire desktop across all monitors? Or just the active monitor?

Anyone? Anyone??

Bueller???

"100 years ago this weekend, America Firsters enacted the first race-based immigration law, banning virtually all immigration from Asia"

The US enacted the eugenics-inspired Immigration Act of 1924, which completely prohibited immigration from Asia. Designed to limit all immigration to the US, the act was particularly restrictive for Eastern and Southern Europeans and Asians. Upon signing the act into law, President Coolidge remarked, “America must remain American.”

Ticketed at #School as a Teen, a Young Black Woman Is Suing an #Illinois City for Violating Her Civil Rights

It took four years and a jury trial for Amara Harris to beat the ticket that accused her of stealing another girl’s AirPods.

Now she’s heading back to court in the hope of stopping #schools from using #police to discipline #students. #propublica #BlackMastodon https://www.propublica.org/article/illinois-naperville-school-ticketing-amara-harris-civil-rights-lawsuit-airpods

Wisconsin Senate Candidate Eric Hovde Says Old People Shouldn't Get To Vote Because They're Almost Dead

“Well, if you’re in a nursing home, you only have five, six months life expectancy. Almost nobody in a nursing home is at a point to vote, and you had … adult children showing up and saying, ‘Who voted for my 85- or 90-year-old father or mother?’” Hovde said.

People, calm down!

I was triggered at first as well, but after giving it more thought, I agree with Redmond.

#Microsoft #Recall rightfully CANNOT blur or encrypt your passwords because doing so would require that Microsoft be a content moderator, returning your data to their Seattle mothership in order to do so.

That is a level of surveillance no one should be comfortable with.

Then again, you have given #Google 20 years access to your email inbox, so...

Nothing to see here.

Mosey along.

Michael Tomasky and #TheNewRepublic have a very sobering series on the looming specter of a 2024 trump win.

And they call him out for what and who he is: a fascist.

Let me decipher that for you:

They want to use the GPS and other telemetry from YOUR CAR to supposedly improve traffic flow.
