This post is fantastic for 2 reasons:
It’s so important to raise awareness of how these ‘conveniences’ like the Ring Doorbell are being turned into the chains that will bind society
This post includes an in-image cite with both text url and a QR! This should be standard on any image post like this.
Well played.
Nailed it.
A solid grasp of the underlying principle is really useful in understanding most government action.
My 2￠:
David Allen’s GTD for the overarching structure and routine.
Rainer König’s Getting Yourself Organized with Org-mode for application within Org-mode.
YMMV
Would you happen to have a cite supporting the burden of proof is on the defendant to prove their statements weren’t defamatory? I’m not familiar with that.
Here’s a map showing the locations of this corporation’s existing readers: DeFlock.me
It’s operated by a group of privacy advocates and educators to spread awareness. Flock tried to use a bogus trademark claim to interfere with the project.
Balance:
a) damage done by another Trump presidency
vs
b) damage done by demonstrating to the ruling class that you’ll give them whatever they want so long as you genuinely fear one of the candidates
Tough call. I wish each and every one of you who has a say in this clairvoyance beyond mine.
There’s something sad about society losing a such a unique source of knowledge, but hopefully we’ve collectively learned something about the dangers of trusting proprietary solutions.
Anyone found a reliable way to search across Lemmy instances they can share?
After the changes to their TOS I lost any trust I had in Proton
Proton AG lost me as a customer the minute they backdoored a binding arbitration clause into their TOS last year.
The difficulty of proving damages in breach of privacy cases combined with generally weak privacy legislation globally means the threat of a class action often serves as one of the only practical deterrents to abuses of power by corporations controlling sensitive personal information. By changing its terms of service, Proton essentially immunized itself from suffering any significant penalty in the event its negligence leads to a mass breach of privacy of its users.
Tactics like the use of binding arbitration clauses are hallmarks of inherently untrustworthy corporations.
Pretty sure this is just privacy washing. The real issue here is censorship.
Highly recommend pairing this with David Allen’s GTD and Rainer König’s excellent course Getting yourself organized with Org-mode
Fairy Creek also received surprisingly little MSM media coverage despite being reportedly Canada’s largest civil disobedience campaign in almost 20 years.
While it could be argued that this under-reporting could be attributed to the RCMP’s heavy handed treatment of journalists at the site, it doesn’t appear that any of the country’s well funded MSM joined the court challenge to the RCMP’s restricting of media access.
While this sentiment is commendable, I’d question the veracity of the presupposition that AI is capable of providing legal help.
Anyone care to share their thoughts on proper netiquette when posting to a Peertube instance?
Specifically I’d be interested to learn if it’s only considered appropriate for those contributing to the network (either by hosting a server or contributing financially) to post or if the uploading of original work is itself is considered a contribution.
Service is fine, but GNU/Linux support needs improvement.
They just changed their TOS to forbid paying customers from seeking any form of judicial remedy, so you can guess the direction they’re headed.
Needless to say I won’t be renewing.
Thanks so much for hosting this instance.
Sorry for my ignorance, but would you mind clarifying which of your rules lemmygrad violated to get on your blocklist?
I believe you’ve got a fantastic idea here, not only to see how this one idea pans out, but to learn how we might build a better society. There’s little reason we couldn’t simultaneously have multiple test centres, each using a different system. Scientific method 101.
China famously began its modern transformation in the 80s by creating Special Economic Zones. These were cities where many of the economic rules for the rest of the country wouldn’t apply, and where new theories could be tested. There’s no need to agree with the goals China was pursuing, and for-better-or-for-worse have subsequently achieved, to acknowledge the method is brutally effective.
