Advocates Rally Against Bill to Jail and Fine Homeless People in DC
A bill about to be marked up in Congress would allow people who sleep outside or in cars to be fined up to $500 or imprisoned for up to 30 days.stephen-prager (Common Dreams)
What are your coping mechanisms?
I listen to music, read about revolutionary movements, daydream about alternate timelines where the world is a utopia, play video games where I feel like I have power, and in control of stuff (like, for example, idk... fighting monsters and other evil things in open world games), sometimes write poetry (but I never share any of them lol, they just stay in Standard Notes).
Basically: escapism.
Most days, drugs of some kind. I go for walks every Sunday with my camera though and take photos and spend the week editing them too. I also try to take short trips too. It’s pretty cheap if you sleep in your car and just explore the town looking for photos to take.
Things are looking really bad, but I try not to let it hold me back. I’ve already spent a good chunk of my life paralyzed by anxiety, so I’ve learned to push past it.

AI Startup Flock Thinks It Can Eliminate All Crime In America
cross-posted from: sh.itjust.works/post/45730883
With more than 80,000 AI-powered cameras across the U.S., Flock Safety has become one of cops’ go-to surveillance tools and a $7.5 billion business. Now CEO Garrett Langley has both police tech giant Axon and Chinese drone maker DJI in his sights on the way to his noble (if Sisyphean) goal: Preventing all crime in the U.S.In a windowless room inside Atlanta’s Dunwoody police department, Lieutenant Tim Fecht hits a button and an insectile DJI drone rises silently from the station rooftop. It already has its coordinates: a local mall where a 911 call has alerted the cops to a male shoplifter. From high above the complex, Fecht zooms in on a man checking his phone, then examines a group of people waiting for a train. They’re all hundreds of yards away, but crystal clear on the room-dominating display inside the department’s crime center, a classroom-sized space with walls covered in monitors flashing real- time crime data—surveillance and license plate reader camera feeds, gunshot detection reports, digital maps showing the location of cop cars across the city. As more 911 calls come in, AI transcribes them on another screen. Fecht can access any of it with a few clicks.
Twenty minutes down the road from Dunwoody, in an office where Flock Safety’s cameras and gunshot detectors are arrayed like museum pieces, 38-year-old CEO and cofounder Garrett Langley presides over the $300 million (estimated 2024 sales) company responsible for it all. Since its founding in 2017, Flock, which was valued at $7.5 billion in its most recent funding round, has quietly built a network of more than 80,000 cameras pointed at highways, thoroughfares and parking lots across the U.S. They record not just the license plate numbers of the cars that pass them, but their make and distinctive features—broken windows, dings, bumper stickers. Langley estimates its cameras help solve 1 million crimes a year. Soon they’ll help solve even more. In August, Flock’s cameras will take to the skies mounted on its own “made in America” drones. Produced at a factory the company opened earlier this year near its Atlanta offices, they’ll add a new dimension to Flock’s business and aim to challenge Chinese drone giant DJI’s dominance.
Langley offers a prediction: In less than 10 years, Flock’s cameras, airborne and fixed, will eradicate almost all crime in the U.S. (He acknowledges that programs to boost youth employment and cut recidivism will help.) It sounds like a pipe dream from another AI-can-solve- everything tech bro, but Langley, in the face of a wave of opposition from privacy advocates and Flock’s archrival, the $2.1 billion (2024 revenue) police tech giant Axon Enterprise, is a true believer. He’s convinced that America can and should be a place where everyone feels safe. And once it’s draped in a vast net of U.S.-made Flock surveillance tech, it will be.

Connection Timeout: A Cyberpunk Novella About Mesh Networks, Hacker Culture, and Fighting Surveillance Capitalism (DRM-FREE)
Author @rek2@lemmy.ml
Hello fellow hackers and cyberpunk enthusiasts,After 12 months of writing and research, I'm excited (and honestly a bit nervous) to share my first tech-thriller novella "Connection Timeout: The PingStarved Chronicles" with this community. This is my first time publishing fiction, so I'm both shy and thrilled to finally put it out there.
Set in 2030 Barcelona, it follows Andrés "PingStarved" Reyes, a 56-year-old hacker who must choose between protecting his estranged son and surrendering a revolutionary mesh networking protocol that could liberate global communications from corporate control.
What makes this different from typical cyberpunk:
* Features real mesh networking protocols (Meshtastic, Reticulum)
* Based on actual security research and exploitation techniques
* Grounded in technologies currently in development
* Authentic hacker culture representation - written by someone who lives it
* NO DRM - All formats are DRM-free because information wants to be freeThis has been a labor of love, combining my passion for privacy tech and resistance against surveillance capitalism into a narrative that I hope resonates with our community. As someone who's been hacking for years but never written fiction before, I poured everything I know and believe about our culture into these pages.
Details:
- 29,429 words (86 pages, 2-3 hour read)
- Available in PDF and EPUB formats
- Price: $4.99 USD / €4.99 EUR
- DRM-FREE on all platformsAvailable at:
- Gumroad (DRM-FREE): rek2.gumroad.com/l/connection-…
- Amazon Kindle US: amazon.com/dp/B0FPZ18STC
- Amazon Kindle Spain: amazon.es/dp/B0FPZ18STC
- Also available on Amazon in UK, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Canada, Australia, and many other countriesIf you enjoyed Neuromancer, Little Brother, or Mr. Robot, this explores similar themes of surveillance capitalism, digital liberty, and technological resistance - but grounded in the real tech we're building today.
Any feedback from the community would mean the world to me. Thanks for reading!
P.S. - For those who prefer open platforms, the Gumroad version comes with both PDF and EPUB, completely DRM-free. Support indie publishing and digital freedom!

Doraemon avvistato casualmente in fabbrica (in un servizio del TG2)
Non avrei mai minimamente immaginato di dover pormi, e porre, questo quesito, né stasera né mai, ma ecco qui l’universo… Perché mai, in questa fabbrica che è stata mostrata in un servizio del TG2 di stasera (come immagini di repertorio, non specifiche), davanti ad un banco da lavoro o quel che è, c’è appeso un foglio di carta con sopra un’illustrazione del fottutissimo Doraemon??? 🤯🤯🤯
Ho intravisto questa cosa mentre ero a tavola a cenare, e può essere che poco ci mancava che sputassi, perché fa così tanto ridere per qualche motivo che non capisco… forse perché è apparentemente fuori contesto, o forse perché mai mi immaginerei di trovare degli operai a lavorare attorno ad un quadretto di #Doraemon; comunque sia, è sicuramente poetico. E oh, onestamente bravo/a a chi ha fatto il servizio, perché si vede prima da vicino, e poi una seconda volta più da lontano… è inquadrato complessivamente, proprio assurdo. 🙏Ma ora, a parte chiedermi chi più in tutto il paese stasera avrà notato questo dettaglio certamente da pochi (probabilmente dentro lo stessa redazione del telegiornale nessuno si sarà fatto domande; probabilmente nessuno avrà neanche riconosciuto la figura), mi chiedo, per l’appunto, come mai… Sarà un’ispirazione per l’azienda o per i suoi lavoratori? Magari la roba che producono è assimilabile a dei ciusky? E chi lo sa. Forse sarebbe utile riuscire a risalire alla specifica azienda, magari sfruttando le altre immagini del servizio, sperando non siano tutte totalmente scollegate… ma io in questo non sono capace, e quindi, per una buona volta, mi limito solo a segnalare questo incredibile bellissimo. 👌

Leaked emails link NHS data privatiser Palantir (Peter Thiel) to Jeffrey Epstein
Whitney Webb reported on the links between Epstein, Israeli tech company Carbyne, and the American intelligence apparatus
Not long after Epstein’s arrest, and his relationships and finances came under scrutiny, it was revealed that the Israeli company Carbyne911 had received substantial funding from Jeffrey Epstein as well as Epstein’s close associate and former Prime Minister of Israel Ehud Barak, and Silicon Valley venture capitalist and prominent Trump backer Peter Thiel.Another funder of Carbyne, Peter Thiel, has his own company that, like Carbyne, is set to profit from the Trump administration’s proposed hi-tech solutions to mass shootings. Indeed, after the recent shooting in El Paso, Texas, President Trump — who received political donations from and has been advised by Thiel following his election — asked tech companies to “detect mass shooters before they strike,” a service already perfected by Thiel’s company Palantir, which has developed “pre-crime software” already in use throughout the country. Palantir is also a contractor for the U.S. intelligence community and also has a branch based in Israel.

US Justice Dept considers handing over voter roll data for criminal probes, documents show
The U.S. Justice Department is in talks with Homeland Security Investigations about transferring the sensitive voter roll data it has collected from states for use in criminal and immigration-related investigations, according to government documents seen by Reuters.
The voter registration data was gathered over the last several months by the DOJ's Civil Rights Division, which has sent requests for voter registration-related information to at least 24 states. Of those, the division requested a complete list of all registered voters from at least 22 states, according to a tracker maintained by the Brennan Center for Justice and letters reviewed by Reuters.

Ohio Chaplain’s Case Shows How 9/11-Era Terror Rules Could Empower Trump’s Immigration Crackdown
cross-posted from: reddthat.com/post/49696960
- Evidence: The government seeks to deport an Ohio chaplain, but its case has come under scrutiny from supporters and legal advocates.
- Support: The U.S. paints the chaplain as a link in terrorist organizations, but in Ohio, families laud his work at a children’s hospital and in the community.
- Test Case: If the government secures its quest for deportation, experts say the case could empower the Trump administration’s mass deportation blueprint.

Jeffrey Epstein & JPMorgan: How the Largest U.S. Bank Enabled the Sexual Predator's Crimes
Amid growing pressure for the Trump administration to release the full Jeffrey Epstein files, a New York Times investigation reveals how the country’s largest bank, JPMorgan Chase, enabled Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation and profited from its ties to him. The exposé is based on more than 13,000 pages of legal and financial records. The Times reports JPMorgan processed more than 4,700 transactions for Epstein totaling more than $1.1 billion, including payments to some of the women who were sexually trafficked. The bank “arranged for Epstein to be able to pay those victims, both in the U.S. and in Eastern European countries and in Russia,” says David Enrich, deputy investigations editor for The New York Times. Epstein “operated in large part because he had unfettered access to the global financial system. And for many years, it was JPMorgan that was providing him with that access.”

I Hate My Friend: The chatbot-enabled Friend necklace eavesdrops on your life and provides a running commentary that’s snarky and unhelpful. Worse, it can also make the people around you uneasy.
The AI-powered Friend pendant is now out in the world. If you live in the US or Canada, you can buy one for $129.The smooth plastic disc is just under 2 inches in diameter; it looks and feels a little like a beefy Apple AirTag. Inside are some LEDs and a Bluetooth radio that connects you (through your iPhone) to a chatbot in the cloud that’s powered by Google’s Gemini 2.5 model. You can tap on the disc to ask your Friend questions as it dangles around your neck, and it responds to your voice prompts by sending you text messages through the companion app. You can reply to these messages with your voice or via text to keep the conversation going.
It also listens to whatever you’re doing as you move through the world, no tap required, and offers a running commentary on the interactions you have throughout your day. To perform that trick, the device has microphones that are always activated.
If the idea of a microphone-packed wearable that’s always listening to your conversations raises privacy concerns for you, just know that you’re not alone. If your experience is anything like ours, wearing the Friend will likely earn you the ire of everyone around you. Curiously, you might even end up being bullied by the chatbot itself.

It has a secure element so it could run Graphene no? The only problem is that it's not a mainstream device so I don't think it's going to be supported.
A similar device that's currently released is Nokia XR21, but the only pro is that it's manufactured in Hungary
Don't bother with HMD's candybar dumbphones if you wanna escape Android, mine calls 999 (ambulance) if I put it in the backpack and it did it two times on its own (HMD 110 4G 2024), flip phones shouldn't have this problem though.

Sam Altman says that bots are making social media feel 'fake' | TechCrunch
After watching Reddit's OpenAI and Anthropic communities, Sam Altman thinks social media cannot be trusted. And bots are to blame.Julie Bort (TechCrunch)
To decode that a little, he’s accusing humans of starting to sound like LLMs, even though LLMs — spearheaded by OpenAI — were literally invented to mimic human communication, right down to the em dash. And OpenAI’s models definitely trained on Reddit, where Altman was a board member through 2022, and was disclosed as a large shareholder during the company’s IPO last year.

Trump’s Takeover of DC: Traffic Stops Turn Into Immigration Arrests for Delivery Riders and Workers
Four masked men in police tactical vests surround a young scooter rider, cuffing his hands behind his back. One person, whose face is fully obscured with a cap, sunglasses and a balaclava, is heard on eyewitness video telling the scooter rider: “You came into this country as a J1, as an exchange student. You didn’t show up … You lied, ok?”
“Yeah, he’s illegal, either way,” another person is heard saying, before they lead him to an unmarked car.

Nearby, two Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) cars are seen blocking part of the lane. Uniformed MPD officers stand around the area, neither intervening nor appearing to participate directly in the arrest.

The video was posted by Will Allen-DuPraw, whose profile says that he is a photographer and videographer based in DC, on Sept. 2. Allen-DuPraw wrote in the post that bystanders reported that authorities were stopping Latino men on scooters along Florida Avenue Northwest, a major road in Washington DC, and had arrested two.
An urgent alert sent out on the morning of the same day by Stop ICE Alerts, a community-driven alert network for those affected by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids, reported similar information. The alert said that ICE, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) – a branch of ICE focused on investigating transnational crime – and MPD were “stopping Latinos on scooters” and had arrested one or two people along Florida Avenue Northwest.

With US President Donald Trump’s crackdown on immigration, scenes of federal agents detaining people while accusing them of immigration offences have been cropping up all over social media from around the country. An analysis of ICE arrest data by DC-based think tank Cato Institute found that in June and July alone, ICE conducted almost 9,000 street arrests nationwide of immigrants who had no criminal convictions, charges, or removal orders. About 90 percent of these were immigrants from Latin America.
The incident on Florida Avenue Northwest was one of 42 that Bellingcat and our partner Evident Media geolocated and verified using videos and photos from social media and news reports. These showed federal agent encounters in the capital, in the month or so since Trump’s federal takeover of DC on August 11. The full dataset can be downloaded here.
In the three weeks after DC was placed under federal control, Trump’s administration said more than 300 people without legal immigration status were arrested in the District.
Like previous immigration raids that we documented in Los Angeles, the federal agents involved in the DC cases were often masked and in military wear. Some wore generic “Police” vests, while others had attire indicating specific government entities such as ICE and HSI. The vehicles they used were usually unmarked, with plates from a variety of US states.

There is one key difference, however. In LA, a state law prohibits local law enforcement from using its resources for immigration enforcement in most cases. But in DC, where no such law applies, MPD has frequently been seen working with federal officers since the federal takeover last month.
In half of the incidents in our dataset, local DC law enforcement could be seen working alongside federal agents. Most of the DC local police were from MPD, though some were from the Metro Transit Police Department. Aside from ICE and HSI, agents from federal agencies including the US Park Police, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) were also seen in the videos.

“We are definitely seeing MPD cooperate at a level we’ve never seen before, and it is resulting in people getting arrested and sent to detention,” Michael Lukens, who runs immigrant rights centre Amica, told Evident Media.
MPD has not replied to Evident Media’s queries about their cooperation with federal law enforcement agencies as of publication.
Of the cases we analysed, 22 involved the arrest of delivery drivers or tradespeople, such as workers in an air conditioning and heating truck.
In two widely shared videos, DC resident Tyler DeSue claimed agents pulled over his Uber Eats driver for having “incorrect tags” on his bike, then checked his registration and insurance and saw it was valid. DeSue said they then asked for his immigration status and detained him.

The videos DeSue posted did not show the initial encounter between the agents and the driver, but did show the arrest. DeSue can be heard in one video telling agents that the man they were questioning did not understand what they were saying, and they should use Google Translate. Another witness is heard calling the arrest “ridiculous” and questioning if the agents have “better things to do than to harass Uber Eats drivers”.
In a second video, also posted by DeSue, agents are seen wrapping the man in chains before putting him in an unmarked car.

Another video posted by NPR reporter Chiara Eisner on Aug. 21 shows an agent in a “Police” tactical vest handcuffing a man in front of a truck, with US Park Police nearby. When Eisner asks what is happening, a Park Police officer says this is a traffic enforcement because the man was driving a commercial vehicle on park roads.

Evident Media asked the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) about videos of these two specific incidents, as well as whether federal agents were using race or language as factors in their stops and arrests. In response, a DHS spokesperson said:
“What makes someone a target for immigration enforcement is if they are illegally in the US – NOT their skin colour, race or ethnicity. America’s brave men and women are removing murderers, MS-13 gang members, pedophiles, rapists – truly the worst of the worst from our communities.”
The spokesperson also claimed that the men detained in these two incidents were undocumented immigrants who entered the country illegally. They did not mention any other criminal record for the men or comment on why the men were stopped by local police in the first place.
Lukens told Evident Media that ICE agents had been seen in areas with larger immigrant populations, such as Columbia Heights and Adams Morgan, which he described as “high-level racial profiling”.
Constitutionally, the Fourth Amendment protects anyone in the US, regardless of immigration status, from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government.
“If you are an ICE officer and the only thing that you have to fall on or to fall back on in justifying arrest is a person’s racial makeup and what vehicle they are driving, then you have conducted an illegal stop and an illegal arrest,” Lukens said.

Commissioner: Ohio schools would need doubled sales tax to replace property tax
A Mahoning County Commissioner contends that Ohio’s sales tax would need to more than double to replace property tax revenue used to fund schools.
Commissioner Geno DiFabio stated on Monday in a social media post that the state’s current tax structure would not support a full repeal of property taxes without a significant increase in other taxes.
DiFabio said the state's property tax system generates about $15 billion for schools annually. He contrasted this with the state's portion of sales tax, which is 5.75% and yields about $14 billion a year.
His analysis suggests that to cover the current school funding, the sales tax would need to increase. In Mahoning County, the current sales tax rate is 7.5%, while neighboring Trumbull County has a rate of 6.75%, and Columbiana County's is 7.25%.

In eigener Sache: „Unterschiedlich schnell verderbliche Ware!“
Öffentlich-rechtliche Mediatheken, als auch kapitalistische Streamer unterscheiden sich eigentlich nur in Nuancen, wenn es darum geht, ihre Ware an ihr Publikum zu bringen. Da gibt es Sortierungen nach Geschmacksrichtungen, Label wie: „Gefühlvoll“, „Spannend“ oder Genrebezeichnungen, von denen einige auch dringend darauf warten neu erfunden zu werden. Der heißeste Scheiß, sind dabei Empfehlungsalgorithmen, die genau das versuchen, was Social-Media zu einem Höllenloch gemacht hat: Die Kund:innen immer länger bei der Stange zu halten, als diese eigentlich wollen – oder sollten… „Wir wissen besser was sie wollen, als Sie selbst. Also suchen Sie sich gefälligst was aus, was andere auch ausgesucht haben.“ (Blog)

Klimapolitik, Geopolitik und Mario Draghis Rede – Überlegungen zum Standard-Interview mit Kywan Riahi
Der Standard bringt heute ein langes Interview zur Festlegung der europäischen Klimaziele, dass Benedikt Narodoslawsky mit Kywan Riahi geführt hat (Narodoslawsky 2025b). Riahi sagt deutlich, dass Europa bis 2050 nicht CO2-neutral werden kann, wenn die Emissionen nicht bis 2040 um 90% gesenkt werden. Der Standard hat in der letzten Woche darüber berichtet, dass die ÖVP aktiv versucht, dieses Ziel zu blockieren (Narodoslawsky 2025a), die österreichische Regierung darüber aber nicht einig ist. Über die Konflikte auf der europäischen Ebene gibt es einen ausführlichen Artikel im Guardian (Harvey 2025). Macron und Merz spielen hier unrühmliche Rollen und setzen dabei offenbar auch auf den Antieuropäer Orbán.
Die geopolitische Dimension dieser Entscheidung wird in dem Interview nicht erwähnt. Für mich gehört die Rede, die Mario Draghi vor zwei Wochen in Rimini gehalten hat, zum Hintergrund (Draghi 2025). Draghi fordert eine gemeinsame europäische Industriepolitik, eine Stärkung des Binnenmarkts und eine viel engere politische Integration Europas, damit Europa seine Interessen gegenüber China und den USA durchsetzen kann. Er stellt fest, dass die neoliberale Ära, in der Europa fast ausschließlich auf wirtschaftlichen Erfolg gesetzt hat, um internationales politisches Gewicht zu haben, endgültig vorbei ist. Die Klimakrise erwähnt er dabei nicht. Die Dekarbonisierung spielt aber in dem genau vor einem Jahr entstandenen Draghi-Report eine wichtige Rolle, wenn sie auch nur unter dem Aspekt der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit und damit des Wachstums behandelt wird (“The Draghi Report: In-Depth Analysis and Recommendations” 2024).
Die Politik, die Riahi befürwortet, und Draghis Konzepte sind nicht nur kompatibel, sie setzen sich gegenseitig voraus. Um die (bereits verwässerten) Ziele der EU-Kommission durchzusetzen und damit wenigstens im Wesentlichen bei der bisherigen EU-Klimapolitik zu bleiben, ist die Bereitschaft zu einer Art Neugründung der europäischen Institutionen nötig, wie sie Draghi vorschlägt. Anders ist die dazu nötige Industriepolitik nicht zu finanzieren. Das wäre das Gegenteil der Politik der Rechtspopulisten, mit denen Leute wie Macron im Zweifel gegen die Linke zusammenarbeiten. Eine solche Politik wäre auch weit entfernt von der bisherigen Politik der deutschen und österreichischen Konservativen, die sich vor allem an der kurzfristigen Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der eigenen nationalen Industrien orientiert.
Um die schlimmsten Folgen der Klimakatastrophe zu begrenzen, ist allerdings viel mehr nötig als das Erreichen der derzeitigen europäischen Klimaziele. Auch das wird im Interview mit Riahi nicht angesprochen. Es gibt kein CO2-Budget mehr zu verteilen, um das 1,5°-Ziel des Pariser Abkommens auf irgendeinem Reduktionspfad zu erreichen. Die CO₂-Uhr des Potsdam-Instituts zeigt, dass das globale Budget für 1,5° in nicht einmal 4 Jahren aufgebraucht sein wird. Auch die Politik die Draghi vorschlägt und zu der Riahis Argumentation passt, entspricht also nicht dem Ernst der Lage.
Ich lese gerade Karl Polanyis The Great Transformation (Polanyi 2001). Ausführlich schildert Polanyi darin, wie das, was wir heute als kapitalistische Marktwirtschaft kennen, Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts durchgesetzt wurde – bevor man begriffen hatte, dass die Grundlagen der bisherigen ökonomischen Strukturen vor allem durch die Industrialisierung bereits zerstört waren. Über Jahrzehnte bemühte man sich mit nicht funktionierenden Gesetzen, an bisherigen Herrschaftsformen festzuhalten und gleichzeitig die Industrialisierung nicht zu blockieren. Mir kommen die Auseinandersetzungen in der EU ähnlich vor. Die Radikalität der nötigen Transformation wird entweder nicht wahrgenommen – oder, und das scheint mir bei Draghi der Fall zu sein – sie wird wahrgenommen, aber im Sinne des bisherigen Wachstumsparadigmas interpretiert. Zu Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts mussten ökonomistische (wie es Polanyi nennt) Paradigmen erst durchgesetzt werden, um zu begreifen, wie radikal sich Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft verändert hatten. Heute verhindert vor allem der Ökonomismus das Verständnis der nötigen Transformationen. Wenn man Draghis Konzepte „dreht“ und von der Fixierung auf Wachstum und den globalen Markt löst, kommt man einem solchen Verständnis näher. Man erkennt aber auch – denn Draghis Argumente sind stringent – wie eng jede Form der Bekämpfung des Klimanotstands an geopolitische Auseinandersetzungen gebunden ist.

galleria miuistica fa lo schifo e ruba spazio porta così ai peli del dentro telefono
Mi sembra strano di non aver mai raccontato questa cosa prima, ma in effetti non l’ho mai fatto… il cosa sono costretta a patire per colpa della MIUI. Non in generale, perché quello lo avrò già raccontato, ma con la app Galleria, che ha un comportamento a dir poco insensato per cui finisce a rubare spazio di archiviazione silenziosamente… (e, ci mancherebbe altro, il pulitore integrato nella MIUI non se ne accorge nemmeno di ciò, maremma sputtanata.) 😾
Praticamente, con il semplice uso, si può notare che il peso dei dati della app aumenta relativamente a dismisura: a me era più di 1 GB ieri sera, quando mi sono ricordata di questa schifezza e sono andata a fare la pulizia a mano… cosa per niente immediata, visto che per qualche motivo questa app non ha nemmeno il tasto “cancella dati” nella schermata impostazioni; solo il “cancella cache”, che però in questo caso è inutile, #Xiaomi di merda. Per fortuna, questo ammasso di dati spazzatura da più di 1 miliardo di byte si trova in/sdcard/Android/data/com.miui.gallery/, non in/data/data/com.miui.gallery/, quindi chi non ha il root non è fottuto. 💩Non capisco bene cosa sia questa cartella “
gallery_disk_cache“ in sé, e perché venga popolata di migliaia di piccoli file fino ad arrivare a sprecare una buonissima parte dell’archiviazione interna del telefono (e poi magicamente io sto sempre senza spazio…); ma, i file, basta ignorare il fatto che siano senza estensione ed aprirli con un visualizzatore di immagini qualsiasi, sono proprio immagini, quindi io suppongo siano delle specie di miniature che la galleria genera per velocizzarsi… che schifo. E ce ne sono due set a quanto pare: uno di immagini a risoluzioni più basse, e l’altro a risoluzioni intermedie, più basse delle originali ma comunque relativamente alte. 🥱Non riesco a non ripetermi: al di là di tutto, davvero, che schifo. Che schifo che ‘sto rottame di software sia programmato così male da non curarsi di come vada a peggiorare i problemi di questo rottame di hardware, e che schifo che lo faccia così silenziosamente… a me il pulitore di #MIUI spamma sempre pop-up quando ho l’archiviazione pienissima, ma non sia mai che si accorga che la galleria ha 1 GB di file inutili; va solo a guardare le cache di altre applicazioni, che ho già cancellato qualche ora prima, e non si libera quindi mai niente. (E ok, in generale non può cancellare i file che le app classificano erroneamente come dati persistenti anziché come cache, ma mi aspetterei che una app di sistema interagisca al meglio con altre app di sistema…) 💔
Ma la cosa più grave della storia forse è che, a quanto temevo, e facendo un test al volo per confermare… questa #cache di merda conserva anche immagini che vengono altrimenti prima cestinate e poi cancellate da dentro la galleria, quindi è pure un gran rischio di privacy se non si è al corrente e pronti a rimediare a mano! Sarebbe bastato aggiungere al codice un controllo per cui, nel momento in cui un’immagine viene cancellata definitivamente dal cestino, se la relativa miniatura è presente in questa stramba cache allora viene cancellata a sua volta… ma figurarsi se quei cretini che hanno sviluppato questa merda erano in grado di arrivarci. (Ovviamente, non cacha mai immagini che la galleria stessa non vede, quindi per esempio quelle dall’archiviazione privata di altre app… però che schifo comunque.) 🙏

Just sold a special edition set, never been happier about it
Some years ago I found in a garage sale an amazing Power Miners set, 8709. The box was opened, but the plastic bags were intact, instructions a bit crumpled, but everything else was in perfect conditions. I snagged it at a ridiculous price, like 30 euros for this and other random stuff.
I put it up on sale online, I wanted to make some money from it, but didn't want to ship it. Nobody has asked me about the set for 3 years, until last week a guy asked me if I was available to meet for the transaction. At that point, I had lost all interest in buying reselling stuff, I can say that I still enjoy flea markets, but the idea of taking advantage of people on the internet gives me the ick.
I met this guy yesterday, sold him a set that's nearly impossible to find and at a ridiculous price.
Today, he sent me this picture. I am so glad that I made a person this happy, he couldn't believe it and kept on thanking me, I felt like Santa Claus.

Steve McQueen – „Small Axe“ (2020)
Vermutlich ist er der profilierteste schwarze Filmemacher Europas, in jedem Fall aber Großbritanniens, sicher der prominenteste und der bisher einzige, der für einen seiner wenigen Filme einen Oscar mit nach Hause nehmen durfte. Wenn Sie sich an „12 Years a Slave“ (2013) noch erinnern, dann sollten Sie keine weitere Erklärung brauchen, warum Sie die fünf Filme der „Small Axe“ (2020) unter gar keinen Umständen verpassen dürfen!

in reply to Lka1988 • • •I'm definitely expecting this at some point, but it hasn't happened to me yet. I've had the TV for a couple years now.
You can also just not attach the TV to the internet, but "obviously" doing things like reordering home screen apps requires an Internet connection.
Lka1988
in reply to datavoid • • •Of course, because why wouldn't a checkes notes entirely local operation require an internet connection?
That's what I did with the curved Samsung TV that I put in the basement for the kids. Factory reset with no internet, default input set to a specific HDMI, and a Roku (with Pi-hole handling adblocking). Roku remote also handles TV power/volume. Haven't had any issues with it.

in reply to Wugmeister • • •You can turn off the scan, which by the way is that it takes a screenshot every so often and checks if it matches known content so as to make you watch through their platform. Really recommend changing that setting.
Secondly, block *.logs.roku.com with a pihole was my solution. That TV is the single most banned traffic on my network still.

in reply to Wugmeister • • •We have an older curved 55" Samsung "smart" TV that I put in the basement for the kids. Mounted high up on the wall, out of reach of little destructive fingers.
Turns out it can be configured with a default input. When I moved it to kid duty, I cleared out all the wifi credentials (I think I just factory reset it), disabled all the "smart" garbage I could find, then stuck a Roku stick in it and set that input as default. The Roku remote handles TV power and volume, and the Samsung remote is put away with the rest of my tech ~~hoard~~ stuff. Pi-hole on my network removes the Roku's ability to show ads at all. I always forget that there's a big ad spot on the home page.

in reply to Wugmeister • • •Roku used to have something called "private" channels that you could add through the web, but it seems that they removed that functionality a few years ago: community.roku.com/discussions…
There used to be several porn apps/channels you could install this way, basically simple front-ends to pornhub, etc. I don't recall what else used to be available.
