Over ⅒ (270,000+ estimated) of the population came out to protest on the 20th June Rally alone. Other Rallies have had between 100,000 - 200,000 attendance. The protests have been going for over 1½ months.

How corrupt do you have to be, to side with a Billionaire from a different continent, over that many protestors/voters in your own country, and ignore them, regardless of his connections.

The whole thing is absolutely fucking crazy, the backers, the buyers, the development, the seller, the land owners dispute, the protests, the arrogance to ignore all of that…

More likely “Specky porn eyes”

I don’t think there are any parental controls, as last I remember seeing a conversation about it, one of the devs spoke about it being incredibly difficult to implement. But there may be some addons that can help a little like

Stremio Family Shield

What the actual fuck…

The current employers, the third generation of the Brasil family, have reached an agreement with labor prosecutors under which they will purchase an apartment worth $30,000 for the victim, “fully furnished and equipped with household appliances,” according to a statement from the Labor Prosecutor’s Office. They will also pay her an additional $10,000 in compensation.

Maria was exploited for 55 years by three couples spanning three generations: first two retirees, then a lawyer and a civil servant, and finally a veterinarian and another civil servant.

Every so often, Brazil is shaken by the rescue of a domestic worker who has spent decades in slavery-like conditions in the home of an outwardly respectable family. The stories follow a familiar pattern, differing mainly in the details.

first results on a quick search for phones that allow bootloader unlocking.

Hopefully, all of the devs, (or at the very least, most of the them) move over to help speed up and improve the alternative OS’s

It would be a beautiful kick in the face to Google if there a relatively quick mass migration from Android to any or all of those.

“Super Easy to Defeat” is the now. They don’t care about that.

They just need you to accept it, and move along.

In a few years time, it will not be “super easy to defeat” but will be standard practice and accepted law.

By that stage it will likely be too late to do anything. They will have tied it in with chat control and all of our data.

Can you imagine the freedom that will be discovered 50 years from now in a trend, when people decide to ditch their personal devices and live like they used to 70, 80 years ago (maybe even 60).

That’s my point. They are the ones who should be transparent. The reason they are pushing this, the reason SKG was beaten etc… They need reminding.

It won’t be long before they are at our doors, cap in hand begging for us to tick their name on a ballot paper as we should believe that they are the best person/people for the job.

Deciding on the Procedure means Deciding on the Substance

If the urgency is approved on Tuesday, the decisive vote on the substance is scheduled to take place as early as Thursday – the final sitting day before the summer recess. Experience shows that significantly fewer MEPs are present on this day. However, since 361 votes are required for amendments or a rejection, the reinstatement of the expired “Chat Control 1.0” regulation would become virtually inevitable.

Every payment sent, every penny received, every communication, every deal that they try to strike should all be publicised as they seem to forget which direction the transparency should be.

Jesus. I was better off not knowing.

From OP article.

The BBC set up a new alias Instagram account in India after noticing the platform was pushing sexually suggestive content even when users had not searched for it.

Who the fuck would be searching that?

Rhetorical.

No wonder so many are moving from Telegram to Max

Excuse my naivety, but what is “content that promote or facilitate child sexual abuse material”

Maybe it’s living in a society where that stuff is already banned/not seen, but I can’t get my head around that at all.

is it ads like “meet young kids in your area” type thing?

I’m not sure I want to know, I know I definitely don’t want to see, but could someone explain what something like that would entail.

The Israeli papers to give them their official title. they damn most of the most powerful and influential people in the world. Given that it’s easier for them to collude and say nothing, that’s what they’ll do.

Lol.

I agree. I don’t know what way my head was thinking. I was thinking of the $60. $20 per month is doable, especially to those that have no other choice, but admittedly it would be a stretch. But the point is the pricing (not just for kagi).

$60 per year to search something is too much. But, the price of all tech is too high. It has never properly been structured and companies charge what they want.

$60 per year might be ‘nothing’ to you, but not all people in every developed nation would agree. Many could feed 3 families or more on that for a month. Edited because my brain exited for a minute.

Developed nation or not, the pricing structure of tech that has driven up the cost of everything around the world needs to be reigned in.

I could use:

• Kagi free tier for 100 uses per month
• Qwant - Free (do not collect or sell data)
• Brave - Free (Claim not to collect data)
• DDG - Free (do not collect or sell data)

And many more. So how is Kagi “Starter” worth $5 per month + sales tax and limited to 300 searches (Advertised as “Enough searches to get you going”).

That argument could be repeated (and they hope it will be) as to why the ‘professional’ ($10 per month + tax) or ‘ultimate’ ($25 per month + tax) are better. Effectively saying that the $5 per month is barely worth paying for.

No, how often you would need to use a search engine that would give you the results that something like kagi would. price vs privacy is a great selling point as mentioned by somebody else, but $60 per year is probably regarded as a bit high to many users.

You could probably get similar results using many different engines for the same query, or their free tier, which could be good enough to get people to agree with their pricing. 🤷

Another subscription. $5 a month is fairly pricey anyway, considering how often you would probably need to use it.

Yes you are. BBC says it so it has to be true. You just probably don’t remember doing it and can’t see it on the windows.

I’m pretty sure it’s corrected in the article. The myth is explained as are the facts. But don’t say it didn’t happen. There’s too much proof.

EDIT…

I just read that wiki.

Fuck sake… there’s no attempt to say that Irish slavery is a reason to downplay African Slavery.

Just because the Paddies were white (hard to see past the dirt on their faces in the old photos). The “indentured Servants” a.k.a Slavery did exist… it doesn’t belittle anything else.

It happened. it’s a thing.

it’s a thing a lot of the world tries to disown. But it happened.

Most are over it.

A lot of the Caribbean islands descendants are proof of both African and Irish Slaves.

Admittedly I didn’t read past the first paragraph on that wiki. But it seemed like it’s as good as denying anything else in history because it downplays other atrocities (which it doesn’t).

It’s just another example.

It’s not “the Irish got it worse” etc.

That wiki page is funny though.

Walking and dietary changes.

Even if it’s a diet you can’t stick to forever, sticking to it for a couple of months, or 10 weeks should make a big enough difference that you find many exercises easier to start, and then go from there. One step at a time instead of trying to achieve finished goal immediately, will probably work better for you.

Many races had slaves. Once a race or colony of people was conquered, the ones that were kept alive were found useful as slaves. The difference when America was discovered was they needed more and didn’t bother conquering nation’s anymore for land, they now had enough, they just took people. Before African Slaves, there were the Paddy slaves.
