Violating just laws and refusing to accept the consequences. The rights of other students can't be ignored just because the protestors are upset. The people occupying parts of campus are not the only people with rights!

Unbelievable!

A pregnant teen lunch lady put a hit on a fourth grader, then her defense attorney argued that she should escape punishment because she was pregnant.

She ended up being sentenced to 7 days in jail.

Does anyone think a male black teenager wouldn't get more than 7 days for putting a hit out on an elementary school girl?

Would he have a lawyer arguing that he shouldn't be punished because his hormones were peaking as a teenager?

Please try Session, SimpleX, or Threema before deciding to stay with Signal (or WhatsApp).

They do a lot of things well, but when deciding things like this that could greatly improve the user experience I've found the Signal developers / leadership are not making good decisions.

I didn't make the claim that there was a trivial solution. Simply that support for multiple mobile devices would improve the user experience.

With that said, no matter how hard it might be, they still decided not to do anything to address the problem identified by their users.

Two years ago today, the Dobbs decision was leaked.

No matter how hard he tries, Donald Trump can’t sidestep his role in abortion being banned for millions.

In 2016 he pledged to remake the Supreme Court with nominees who would overturn Roe v. Wade.

He is directly responsible.

As you may know I am not a big fan (at all!) of "reaction videos". But I just stumbled into a young (apparently Irish) woman working her way through the original "The Prisoner" -- and she was on the last episode "Fall Out".

So I watched to see if her brain would "explode".

Yep.

The US government's entire beef with TikTok is they believe it's spying on Americans for the sake of the Chinese government, as opposed to American social media companies who spy on Americans for the sake of local, state, and federal law enforcement and various intelligence agencies and literally anyone else who is willing to pay for that data.

Which is why they want TikTok sold to an American company willing to hand that data over to them instead of instituting actual privacy regulations.

tcely,
@tcely@fosstodon.org avatar

That's not the entire beef. There is also the propaganda / influence aspect that you glossed over. Was that an intentional omission?

> The problem with TikTok is that a large number of Americans use it, and China may have the ability to direct misinformation through it, as well as collect data from it, said Plumb.

You seem to be misinformed about this app. There is, in fact, some evidence that TikTok uses techniques that maximize the amount of information collected.

> In aggregate, TikTok’s data collection is more intrusive than other apps.

I'm not saying we shouldn't worry about how China might be using TikTok to steal our data and manipulate us...

But why aren't we at least as worried about the U.S. billionaires who own the other apps stealing our data and trying to manipulate us?

China has not been subtle about this.

> Because of the fact that the US is the main international competitor, the PRC leadership considers all US security alliances and partnerships, especially those in the Indo-Pacific region, as destabilising and irreconcilable with their sovereignty, security, and developmental interests.

I find your suggestion that I should substitute Jim Hines' beliefs and opinions for my own extremely dubious.

Just because he thinks the ban would set an unacceptable precedent and voted against the bill, that isn't evidence that TikTok should be allowed.

The amount of indirection doesn't change who actually controls the content TikTok allows to be seen.

After 15 years of using an iPhone, I'm considering switching to Android. I've ordered a cheap Samsung just to try it for a while before buying a top-end model.
Let's see if I can get used to it.

(I'm also a Mac user so there will be some trade-offs..)

I really like the Busycal iOS app, does anyone know a good alternative? It syncs with my calendar & tasks on Nextcloud.

I don't use calendars much, but here are some options to look into:

  • Fossify Calendar
  • Etar
  • DAVx⁵
  • ICSx⁵
  • DecSync CC
  • Nextcloud synchronization client

> The first line of Colangelo's opening was, "This case is about a criminal conspiracy and a cover-up - Donald Trump corrupted the 2016 election." He said that it all began when Trump and Michael Cohen met with National Enquirer publisher David Pecker In August 2015 to suppress negative stories about Trump.

This is an election interference case! Despite so many people saying it's about "hush money" paid to a sex worker.

Giving a candidate, who wouldn't be hired by McDonald's, classified briefings and voting to put him in charge of the best military on the planet is insanity!

Trump is unqualified for any military position, especially commander-in-chief.

A reminder: there has never been an "accidental" use of nuclear weapons.

The idea that this can happen accidentally is not an idea that we should be spreading!

Whoever chooses to use these weapons, in the future, should be blamed for that decision, for all time!

Lost or missing nuclear weapons is a terrifying topic to look into. However, I don't consider that using them.

@xexyl

Please remember, the USA isn't the country with the most nuclear weapons on this planet. A lot of the history of nuclear weapons has been lost through suppression of information until the people involved were dead.
