If you're doing anything interesting today, remember to set your phone to airplane mode and disable biometric unlock before you head out.
in reply to Dan Riley

@dan131riley My understanding is that this is not the case - that Airplane Mode disables transmission, including wifi. bluetooth and cellular, and that - for example, on iPhones - that this means "find-my" type utilities no longer work, and that there's no in-phone recording of your motion taking place.
in reply to mhoye

Airplane mode typically doesn't turn off GPS reception, so location services may need to be turned off separately. Otherwise, photos in airplane mode may still have EXIF location data (for example).

Airplane mode may not turn off bluetooth, so verify that is off.

Even then I wouldn't trust it. Airplane mode isn't designed for privacy, and it has evolved over time to be more permissive. I wouldn't be surprised if some phones still send an occasional IMEI ping even in airplane mode.




Spotted on a recent walk. It's still afloat and has a nice, new mooring rope, but don't - whatever you do - lean on that taffrail...

Happy Protest Day to everyone who celebrates that America has no king. Be safe if you are on the streets.

#NoKings



We're starting an exciting journey through the book: Data-Driven Science & Engineering( databookuw.com/ ) on the Embedded Slack #book-club. The book explores signal processing, machine learning, and control systems from a fresh, data science perspective.

We've invited a math professor to guide us through all the fancy math in the book. Expect engaging Slack discussions and weekly live sessions on Fridays at 11am PT, beginning June 20.

Pepe is on his throne for #NoKings Day. No crown, but @anja wondered what head gear would be appropriately.

My call is a jesters hat.

Good luck to all those heading out to protest today. Be loud. Be safe. You do a good thing.

As the US prepares for #NoKings, I have to admit: I, too, seem to have been temporarily distracted in school when we had that lesson on the US having an autocrat.

In the Germany of 1929-33, the president's power to rule by decree if the house is divided was a key factor in the only 30% of Nazis seizing power completely. It lasted 12 yrs and left everything in ruins, millions dead. Therefore rule by executive decree is no longer allowed in our post-war constitution.

Constitutions can evolve.

French court jails two teenagers over 2024 Jewish girl rape byteseu.com/1104146/ #France


When you target a nuclear facility, an active nuclear reactor, with a weapon capable of destroying it, you aim at releasing large and lethal amounts of radiation in the surrounding areas and affect all life forms in this area (for decades). What is the difference between “this” conscious action and a small nuclear bomb?

but the "middle class" was fed this drug of international justice, ruling, bodies, judicial processes, and that their affluent standard of living was through peaceful and moral means. All assassinations, invasions, torturing, bribing, strike busting, was done within a spectrum of morality and justice.

Who are you to call the holly "middle class" a hallucinating drug addict?

@heretical_i

in reply to yianiris

When was it that this hypocrisy was branded "no longer necessary" time to pull the plug on the show?

Was it 9/11 ? If so, GWB wasn't that stupid after all.

Because now we have fully conscious supporters of global fascism and imperialism, which justifies the ridicule of such organizations as UN or IAEA

It is quite cold this weekend. #OfficeKitty is sleeping a lot more in this weather. She has been getting us up past 6am which is great - a big improvement from 5:15am.

Happy #Caturday wherever you are

in reply to Will 🏳️‍🌈

@AncTreat5358 Indeed small wins with cats are to be celebrated!

She brought herself up as a stray in the streets of Western Sydney where it has a couple of months of cold, a few months of normal weather and then several months of stinking hot days and nights.

in reply to Yvonne Perkins

Wow, she’s had quite the fascinating past! Hope she enjoys the relative comfort from y’all.


I watched a segment on #CNN with Victor Blackwell who had a USMC veteran, a JAG officer, who said “Marines aren’t trained to know the difference between lawful & unlawful orders.”

I call bullshit, Sir!

Military Training on illegal orders happens in👇🏼
1. Boot camp training
2. Ongoing training
3. Reality-based training
4. Case Studies “My Lai Massacre”

I also received Law Of Armed Conflict training annually.

DO NOT FOLLOW UNLAWFUL ORDERS!

Cadet Bone Spurs wants "suckers" and "losers" to worship him


slate.com/news-and-politics/20…

[Cadet Bone Spurs] has a long and well-documented history of contempt for military service. There’s audio of him congratulating a man for faking a disability, as Trump did, to escape the Vietnam draft. There’s video of him challenging the heroism of being a POW in 1999, as well as in 2015. Videos, transcripts, witness testimony, and his own tweets show him ridiculing American generals in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, and 2020. His own family members say he criticized his brother for going into the military and threatened to disown his son if he enlisted.

These are the vehicles the Mossad used according to Iran’s security forces who have issued a warning that Israeli Mossad agents are using Toyota Hilux vehicles equipped with a concealed compartment from which drones were launched to strike targets within Iran from close range.

I'm guessing the old 'is this a technical' meme will soon become 'is this a drone carrier.' 🤔
in reply to Aure Free Press

That looks odd. There is no good reference, but that sheet metal is around 5 mm thick and that makes no sense for building drone enclosures. That thing is probably too heavy for a single man to lift and it can probably support the weight of an elephant. If you wanted to transport drones, you could use plywood or thin sheet metal to make the compartments.

But, if I had to transport something like gas cylinders, I'd build something like this.

🔁 Bachelor's thesis survey! Please boost! 🔁

As many of you already know, I'm a cognitive science student currently working on my bachelor's thesis about the relationship between internet users' identities and their online personas.

Specifically, I want to see how that relationship might be different for cis and trans individuals, as well as for entities with non-human identities.

I prepared a short survey to collect the data I'll need for the thesis and I would greatly appreciate it if you take the time to answer it and share it around, both on fedi and elsewhere! It is meant for individuals of all gender identities and ages and shouldn't take more than 15 minutes to complete.

Thank you for your time 😀
