1·5 days agoHah… wow. I understand the sentiment, but I think I would have taken it to a local e-waste recycling drop.
I hope the smashing was cathartic.
3·7 days agoThis links to an image, not a news article.
For the curious:
Eufy is based in China, has already had at least one scandal for lying about data exfiltration, and (when I investigated last year) could remotely update their products with new behavior at any time. I do not recommend them where privacy is desired.
Ergo saying “it’s aSsAuLt” is missing the point and hysterical, preaching to the choir.
You’re projecting a lot of tone and intent that doesn’t exist in my comment, nor in my view of the issue, and you’re doing it with a hefty dose of snark. That’s unnecessary, unhelpful, and unkind.
In future, you might consider multiple ways that other people’s comments could be interpreted, rather than leaping to assumptions that give you an excuse to criticise them and control the conversation.
Be well. Goodbye.
it’s wrong because the law enforcement agencies are illegitimate, so all uses of their power are illegitimate.
Ergo…
;)
explicitly authorized law enforcement personnel to obtain Natanson’s phone and both hold the device in front of her face and to forcibly use her fingers to unlock it.
In other words, physical assault.
Unfortunate headline. It seems to imply that Sanders would fund ICE if Noem and Miller were gone, but as we can see by reading the article, that alone would not be enough.
I’m glad Sanders is no pushover.
43·24 days agoA site offering privacy advice is untrustworthy whenever you don’t know the people, motivations, and influences behind it. In other words, practically none of them are trustworthy. Not even privacyguides (which did have some good advice when I looked years ago, but was not without flaws, and can always change).
The best we can do in most cases is to use these sites to bring software, services, features, and risks to our attention, so we can verify that information with other sources and carefully consider it against our own needs.
One rare case is eff.org. It’s not a recommendation site, but does occasionally offer advice, and the organization is well known.
Your main link leads to an article titled, “Live: JD Vance defends ICE operations in Minnesota visit as state officials decry ‘misinformation’”
It doesn’t match the article you archived, either.
This seems like a good time to remind those soldiers of their sworn oath to uphold the Constitution, not a criminal dictator, and let them know that they can get help
More accurately, the headline confuses respirators with valveless FFP2/N95 masks, which are adequate.
Appalling? Yes. Shocking? Not to anyone who has been paying attention.
“Before I knew it, I saw ICE agents circling a young woman who appeared to be Hispanic, and so I approached her, and we were at that point chanting, ‘We are not afraid, we are not afraid.’”
Callaghan then said he told ICE officers to take him instead of harassing her. An agent then “came, got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, ‘Are you afraid now?’” Callaghan recalled.
After he said he still wasn’t afraid, the officer handcuffed him before putting him into the back of an SUV. “They came back three times and they asked me if I was afraid yet, to which I replied, ‘Hell no, I’m not afraid of you, and I’m never going to be afraid of you.’”
Callaghan said that he asked if he was under arrest after officers asked for him to hand over his identification and his cellphone.
“And then they said to me, ‘Well, you’re white, you won’t be any fun anyway. You can get out of the car.’”
in my car I’m searching through the one screen, not hunting through a field of obscure symbols with no standardisation on where anything is, and all those little lights.
That seems odd to me. I think most of us learn where the physical controls are, and then operate them by touch while driving.
We don’t take our eyes off the road to read the brake pedal or gear shifter, either. ;)
However, how long should heirs continue to sponge off the work of their parents and grandparents?
And how long should they continue to sponge off the rest of society, whose taxes pay for copyright administration, adjudication, and enforcement? Each one of these monopolies costs money, and it’s the rest of us who are stuck footing the bills… for an awfully long time.
And then there’s the matter of big corporations routinely buying copyrights and sponging off of us for all that time.
Just think how much culture could be enriched (through derivative works) if US copyright was rolled back to its original term: 14 years with an option to renew it once for 14 more.
The Trump administration earlier in the year announced plans to entice new ICE recruits by offering them $50,000 sign-up bonuses and assistance with repaying student loans in a bid to double the agency’s head count.
Reminds me of this:
All over Russia, young men have been recruited to go to the front. Their families receive the equivalent of $2,000 to $20,000, or more, depending on the region. In three years, the government spent almost $38 billion, or 1.5 percent of Russia’s GDP, on these payments.
I wish the filters and most housings weren’t made of plastic.
…but they are known for being privileged and insulated.
I remember looking at US train ticket prices once, and finding that they cost nearly as much as plane tickets for the same journey. Is that still true?
