I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

    I'm not saying that it proves that there aren't any concerns, but that particular article says the opposite of what you are implying

  • @pwalker@discuss.tchncs.de, I'm seeing some reports on this post that this is a meme / shitpost (screenshots from a TV show) and not actually a photo. It's possible you aren't seeing those reports due to cross-instance moderation issues

  • For anyone coming across this, the article is from a few months ago.

    Any reason why you're posting this today, given that today is their election?

  • UK: Labour has one last chance to reverse Chagos Islands deal

    Jump

  • While I'm not informed enough to comment on the wider discussion, I find it weird that the article kept listing more and more Americans in the list of opinions being ignored. The article weakened its case by not stopping after the first sentence

    Not the opposition of the Chagossian people, evicted by Britain in the 1960s, the majority of whom have made it clear they do not want the islands to fall into Mauritian hands. Not America’s ambassador to the UK, Warren Stephens, who understatedly warned that surrendering the strategically important territory was not the “ideal outcome”. Not the opinion of US senators that No 10’s legal case for secession was “nonsense” fuelled by “a misguided anti-western agenda”. Nor the considered view of the former secretary of state Mike Pompeo, who told this paper that the deal’s potential to ­strengthen Chinese influence in the region meant it was “one of the dumbest geostrategic mistakes”.

  • Homeland Security Spying on Reddit Users: Leak show feds tracking anti-ICE Reddit users like "Budget-Chicken-2425"

    Jump

  • I find it odd, but a lot of newer users on Reddit go with the default suggested username and those follow the word-word-0000 template.

    At the same time, it might be better for privacy to do that since it's less likely that someone can track you across platforms if you use the generator built into each platform.

  • Thank you for the tag :)

    That's my account, we made some configuration changes on piefed.ca yesterday, and we have been troubleshooting an issue where old posts were being spammed. That's why so many of the posts were removed / the account banned and unbanned while we figured it out. It should be fixed now

    As for the article / source, I do like TheConversation since the articles are by academics/researchers and you'll often see decent analysis

  • N.B. government to stop using social media platform X after request from child advocate

    Jump

  • The government definitely could have been the ones to take the lead on this. Reading the article, it seems like the solution is for Canadians to get on the platform and show that we're here

    Lamrock said that most of X’s value comes from the days when it was Twitter and the fact that many governments are still on the platform from those days.

    The City of Fredericton recently stopped suing X, but spokesperson Marley McLellan said the decision was made after a survey that showed residents were using X less and less to find information about city services.

    “The city looks forward to continuing to share information and connect with residents on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, the website and through newsletters,” McLellan wrote in an email.

    Are people really getting government updates through LinkedIn?

  • Flock CEO calls Deflock a “terrorist organization”

    Jump

  • I had to double-check what Deflock was for:

    DeFlock's mission is simple: to shine a light on the widespread use of ALPR technology, raise awareness about the threats it poses to personal privacy and civil liberties, and empower the public to take action.

    This app makes it easy to view and report AI powered surveillance cameras, automatic license plate readers (ALPRs), and other surveillance infrastructure near you.

    Sharing information about where cameras are located is terrorism now?
