On Emory's campus this morning, Atlanta police were seen continuing to tase an already handcuffed student. He'd been thrown to the ground and handcuffed with no resistance yet the cops are out here torturing him in plain sight.
Clearly demonstrating why cop city must never be built.

Yes, can you call the Philosophy department and tell them I've been arrested. I'm Noelle McAfee, I'm the Chair of the Philosophy department, and I'm being arrested."

The shift away from seeing Consent as a magic privacy bullet requires broader transformations, including how dehumanising we relate to each other in the mart of competitive commerce.
"Consent to use data" is often a total fiction! Can you completely read and deliberately agree to hundreds of privacy consent notices a month? Of course not! Yet, GDPR and much American privacy law assume that's true. I say it, and now a noted law professor says it: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4333743
Policy makers need to stop pretending that consent is a magic bullet for ensuring privacy. Instead, companies need to do right by their users BY DEFAULT, not based on boxes they check.
Consent plays a profound role in nearly all privacy laws. As Professor Heidi Hurd aptly said, consent works “moral magic” – it transforms things that would be i
It's so frustrating to see Microsoft copy inventions from the Linux world and act like they're new. Ads in the start menu? Come on, we had that in Ubuntu back in 2012 already, you're late to the party *again*.
Sadly from my experience there is no effective blocking available in friendica. Posts or comments from blocked persons can still end up in your timeline which I find irritating. "However, their conversations with your friends will still be visible in your stream." I find that aspect very unexpected.
So looking at the FAQ, I'm experiencing some irregularities.
[Ignored] you will still see this person's comments to posts made by your friends.
👆 That's exactly what I was hoping for. But it turns out the person (on a Mastodon server) I placed on ignore doesn't show up in my contact's conversations. I see someone replying to the "Ignored" person's reply, as a "unknown parent" post. Double checking on the Mastodon server I can see the "Ignored" person's reply, but I am now actively prevented from even importing their post.
Not entirely sure. You could file an issue with as much info as possible. Include screenshots and post URLs of the original posts so the situation can be assessed and, if friendica is misbehaving, hopefully fixed.

So we have a term that doesn’t accurately describe what is happening. I challenge the “economists” to develop new terms that take into account the wide differences in wealth and the way profits vs personal income and wages are so unrelated.
Lots of greed in the rental market as well. When Donnie was in office real estate was being bought and sold like hotcakes. And each time a rental property gets sold, the rent goes up. And the quality of life goes down...
Greedflation is a myth. In a fiat currency system the amount of dollars in circulation is inversely proportional to the purchasing power of each individual dollar. Even though the percentage of inflation is down that only measures how fast dollars are being added to circulation, not how much dollars total are in circulation. Money is subject to the law of supply and demand just like everything else, so the real reason things are more expensive now is that the dollar simply is worth less than it was in the past.

@Andy H3 I think this is the start where Social Media doesn't need humans anymore to fool the advertising industry and people who hunting for a big range of influence ;) If you like to catch some hackers you build an IT infrastructur "honeypot" this is their honeypot ;)
Is the US, under the guise of de-escalation, basically making the case to all states that they should try as hard as they can to develop nuclear weapons?
Brits ask “A penny for your thoughts?” and Americans respond with “Just my two cents”. At current exchange rates ($1.00 = £0.80) this means Brits are receiving 1.6p of American thoughts for just 1p. In this paper we propose an alternative asset pricing model for the marketplace of ideas, considering—
My boyfriends been cheating, so I joined a dating site found it on there and been catfishing him. He's due to meet the other me in a bar in 10 mins blissfully unaware I'm there with a suitcase of his clothes whilst my dad's changing our locks.
The eclipse was amazing! Even though we were only at 40% here at the University of Regina, there were over 1,000 people who showed up to watch the eclipse at max! That's at least 10x as many people as I expected. I also had 3 media interviews and 2 film student documentary interviews yesterday. So much interest in the sky!
I am really happy about how that went! Especially the extremely low-tech sour cream container projector I made at the last minute for the campus telescope.
