The best recommendation I can give you is to actually use a bike. A bike will get you out of a situation quickly, it can be used as a shield in an emergency to put something between you and an aggressor, and it has several other uses as well that make it strategically good and improve your safety odds. Incidentally you will probably also be wearing a helmet which is also good for safety. Keep these things in mind and choose wisely.

Fair. I should really quit using autocomplete and stop using Gboard for privacy reasons. Honestly, I'm just a little bit away from de-googling and going graphene. Just gotta spin up immich and a few other servers.

"institutional violence"... An interesting misspelling of "collective punishment"

I saw one video of a dude whipping a water bottle at a cop. Bottle chucker got immediately tackled by another protestor.

For som reason, "ywars" changed your voice into that of a pirate, and it made me cackle. Thanks 💛

Also dangerous.

"every safety regulation is written in blood" and I'd add, it's often the blood of the poor or working class.

So I thought it couldn't possibly be that bad! So I looked it up on Amazon. Guys, it's way worse than that bad. $60 for a goddamn cable! It supports everything though... https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-107022-Computer-Cables/dp/B084Z65YJQ

You could drill it out and replace it with a nut/screw and bolt....

An interesting development, but I doubt it'll be a good thing, especially at first. This looks like the kind of thing that will be an entirely new threat vector and a huge liability, even when used in the most secure way possible, but especially when used in a haphazard way that we'll certainly see from some of the early adoptors.

Just because you can do a thing, does not mean that you should.

I almost feel like this should have an NSFW tag because this will almost certainly not be safe for work.

Edit: looks like the article preview is failing to load... I'll try to fix it. ... Nope. Couldn't fix.

 

An option to take action.

Let me know where to post this if not here, thanks in advance.

Please share this. The action begins.

 

I don't really have words for this...

I feel like this is probably pretty effective. I feel like it should be a thing.

This transphobic, anti-gender theory, anti-abortion doctrine of theirs has me completely done with them.

I'm not a rageaholic, but you wouldn't know it when I heard this story come on my news feed. Profanities that came out of me were full-throated, long-winded, and unbecoming.

I was raised Catholic and for a long time since they decided to bless same-sex marriages I was okay with the Catholic Church but what do you know? Just like that. Now I'm anti-Catholic.

They're basically saying that everyone is made perfect in God's image and that by changing your sex your violating that perfection and somehow violating your own dignity? Like, they're trying to say that changing your gender is separating yourself from your soul somehow? I'm done with these people.

Here is a link to the actual document that they produced. Would you believe it took him 5 years to come up with this garbage?

Forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this.

 

So it looks like Trump has read the fascist playbook or something. I'm not surprised. I am concerned.

Edit: After thinking about it, I guess I am surprised that he can read.

 

Title says it all. Somewhat interesting if true. I wouldn't be surprised either way.

 

China accused the US of infiltrating Huawei Technologies Co. servers beginning in 2009, part of a broad-based effort to steal data that culminated in tens of thousands of cyber-attacks against Chinese targets last year.

The Tailored Access Operations unit of the National Security Agency carried out the attacks in 2009, which then continuously monitored the servers, China’s Ministry of State Security said in a post on its official WeChat account on Wednesday. It didn’t provide details of attacks since 2009.

Cyberattacks are a point of tension between Washington and Beijing, which has accused its political rival of orchestrating attacks against Chinese targets ever since Edward Snowden made explosive allegations about US spying. Washington and cybersecurity researchers have said the Asian country has sponsored attacks against the West.

The ministry’s accusations emerged as the two countries battle for technological supremacy. Huawei in particular has spurred alarm in Washington since the telecom leader unveiled a smartphone powered by an advanced chip it designed, which was made by Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. That’s in spite of years-long US sanctions intended to cut Huawei off from the American technology it needs to design sophisticated chips and phones.

The US has been “over-stretching” the concept of national security with its clampdown on Chinese enterprises, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning told reporters at a regular press briefing in Beijing on Wednesday.

“What we want to tell the US is that suppression and containing of China will not stop China’s development. It will only make us more resolved in our development,” Mao said.

On Tuesday, US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said she was “upset” when Huawei released the Mate 60 Pro during her visit to China last month, but noted the US has no evidence the Asian nation can make the advanced semiconductors powering the handset “at scale.”

 

What's the deal with all these archive.is links? All they do is send me to infinite capcha loops. I don't get it.
