Data broker was used by shooter in Minnesota to get information about victims
The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.
Their inaction is deadly.

[Video] Three Iranian missiles hit near Israeli Mossad HQ in Herzliya
Iran fires a wave of drones first and then time the rockets to land simultaneously.
Iran has multiple missiles, cheaper ballistic ones which follow an arc trajectory, and hyper-sonic ones which are more actively guided
The hypersonic missiles seem to get through frequently.
The ballistic missiles and drones mostly get intercepted, however the goal of those is to deplete interception missile stocks. It is rumored Israel will run out of those in around 12 days.

You know what, I checked his most recent video
And for the first time ever I saw him putting not only the blame on Netanyahu but mention Israel multiple times. Not more than Netanyahu, but he has now started to mention Israel.
So you are correct and I will now delete this post.
This is so goddamn pedantic it's not even funny. He literally starts his press release "No War in Iran" with "following Israel's military strikes..."
Netanyahu is the face of an authoritarian government. It's just as valid to say "we need to stop Netanyahu" as it is to say "we need to stop Trump" or "we needed to stop Hitler"
Obviously, the system that supported and enabled the authoritarianism and genocide needs to be fixed. But it starts from the top. It starts with the very public, very human, very deposable face of the regime.
It's much easier to rally specifically against a dictator than it is to rally generally against the system of government that he controls, especially because it helps make one thing clear - Israelis themselves can help make that happen.
Someone lost 20 years worth of Pokemon when trying to transfer data from Switch 1 to Switch 2

Nope, the switch only keeps saves on the internal storage or synced to their cloud if you pay for it. When doing transfers between devices like this there is no copy option only a move and delete.
There are some legitimate reasons they want to prevent this like preventing users from duplicating items in multiplayer games, etc. Even if you got access to the files they are encrypted so that only your user can use them.
I think the bigger reason they do this is there are occasionally exploits that are done through corrupted saves. So preventing the user from importing their own saves helps protect the switch from getting soft modded.
If you mod your switch you can get access to the save files and since it has full access it can also decrypt them, so that you can back them up. One of several legitimate reasons to mod your switch.
Another case of piracy having far superior user experience compared to the legal, honest way of playing the game, not because piracy is intrinsically better but because the publisher deliberately makes the official experience as inconvenient and exploitative as possible.
I used to have a git repo in my emulator's save directory so I could have checkpoints that I can restore to if I ever get stuck.
Yeah it is pretty bad when an emulator offers a better experience than even a modded Switch.
Easy to load your choice of directory sync tool (i.e. NextCloud Sync Client/Synology Drive Client/etc, or Google Drive/OneDrive if you are on Windows) pointed at your emulators save directory and have your own automatic cloud sync that you have full control over, built in versioning, the works.
AFAIK Pokemon doesn't do cloud saves.
The reason being to prevent duplication of Pokemon.
Given that the game is largely single player that seems like a stupid reason to me.
While I'm sure some people do a lot of breeding and IV training for the more competitive scene, be assume lots of people just hack together whatever team they need. Wonder Trade and Home have always been full of random shiny Pokemon.

It is absolutely a great idea. These shit phones are fucking dangerous.
They're completely different, depending on your needs. Some work easily for those without tech knowledge or very strict needs at usability, some are for privacy enthusiasts or endangered people and some are for techies who want to advance humanity.
I suggest trying on an older phone you already have or buying a used one.
Generally, i suggest not buying new at all, as a form of protest, anyway.

Tinder now lets you go on double dates
Crossposted from rss.ponder.cat/post/208519
Tinder is no longer just a platform for solo dates. The company has announced a new “Double Date” feature rolling out in the US that will let you invite a friend to find — and match with – another pair.
The feature lives within a new “Double Date” icon in the top-right corner of the app, where you can invite up to three friends to create pairs with. You can both scroll through a feed of paired profiles, which appear side by side with photos and descriptions. A match is created when one person from both pairs swipes right. Tinder will then open up a group chat with all four users.
The update should help Tinder gain an edge over rivals as the dating app industry continues to experience a slump. It will also allow Tinder to compete directly with platforms built for double dates, like Doubble and Fourplay.
Cleo Long, Tinder’s head of product marketing, told The Verge that the platform has been testing the feature in Europe for a “couple of months,” adding that it’s meant to help relieve dating pressure, especially among younger users. “This is a social-first experience that’s really meant to help relieve some of the pressure that we know a lot of Gen Z experiences with dating by making it more social, more fun, and bringing your friends in to help reinforce that comfort piece,” Long said.
Double Dates builds on some of the other social features Tinder has rolled out in recent years, including a feature that lets you share the details of your dates with other people, as well as a way for friends or family members to find matches for you.
Tinder plans on rolling out Double Dates globally in July.

"One agent soon twisted Jason Brian Gavidia’s arm and pressed him against a black metal fence outside the lot where he runs an auto body shop in Montebello, a working-class suburb east of the Los Angeles city limits. Another officer then asked him an unusual question to prove whether he was a U.S. citizen or an undocumented #immigrant.
“What hospital were you born at?” the Border Patrol agent asked.
Mr. Gavidia, 29, was born only a short drive from where they were standing.... He did not know the hospital’s name. “I was born here,” he shouted at the agent, adding, “I’m an American, bro!”"

Maybe the nations belligerently bombed by Israel should begin issuing their own evac orders? "We are going to do something nasty. Please don't be inside overnight on Monday" and then bomb something minor.
Repeat weekly, different day each time. Something small.
Week 11 say Thursday, really wreck some stuff the day before with no injuries, and say "oops".
Repeat until they fucking get it.

Shit like this is gonna happen when data brokers collect and ALL of your personal info WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT.
There should be a national registry that PROHIBITS data brokers from collecting our personal info.
We already have a National Do Not Call Registry that makes it so we cannot receive calls from robocallers and telemarketers, and there should be an opt-out system that makes it so data brokers CANNOT under ANY circumstances collect any info about us that can reveal our real identities. This is already a system that everyone in California is gonna get by 2026. That is NOT good enough! Expand it to the ENTIRETY of the United States and make it so everyone can opt-out!
This is gonna continue unless data broker abuse is stopped. donotdox.com/
