The Murder of John Lang: A Cautionary Tale on the Importance of Online Privacy
I want to share a deeply concerning story that highlights the critical importance of online privacy, especially for activists and those who speak out against authority. The death of John Lang, a well-known figure in the Fresno activist community, raises serious questions about surveillance, privacy, and the potential consequences of being targeted by law enforcement.
John was found stabbed inside a burning home, and what’s particularly alarming is that just days before his death, he expressed fears that Fresno law enforcement was stalking him and might end his life. He had been vocal about his experiences with police harassment, including a disturbing pattern of unethical practices by Fresno law enforcement, such as scanning license plates in retail parking lots to generate revenue.
In his efforts to protest these injustices, John posted his thoughts on the Fresno Bee, believing he was doing so anonymously. However, it later came to light that an employee at the Fresno Bee was sharing identifiable information (IP addresses) with law enforcement, leading to John being targeted. This tragic situation serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities we face when we do not take proper precautions to protect our online privacy.
John’s case illustrates the dangers of not using tools like VPNs or Tor for online activism. Had he utilized these privacy measures, he might have been able to shield his identity from those who sought to silence him.
This tragic story serves as a cautionary tale about the risks of online exposure for activists. We must learn from John’s experience and recognize the importance of safeguarding our privacy in an increasingly surveilled world.

Took my son to McDonald’s today after not going for years and was shocked at the price of a cheeseburger. So I looked it up and a cheeseburger went from $1 to $3 over the course of Biden’s presidency.
I can see why people voted for Trump since Democrats didn’t even acknowledge this problem.
Unfortunately for those voters, not only does he have no plan to lower prices, many of his policies are just going to make the problem worse.

I have talked about accessibility a lot here. But now, it's my turn to ask some questions! I fully admit to being guilty of not capitalising the first letter of each word when writing tags, unless said words are usually capitalised. As a screen reader user, I do realise this can lead to confusion. But are searches on Friendica and elsewhere in the Fediverse case sensitive? If I write goodwriting will it show up in the same listings as GoodWriting? If not, which should I follow, and what about single words, such as writing, which screen readers say correctly? Should I capitalise those (or not) for consistancy?

As I pointed out last week, the US owning TikTok would mean that it would be restricted from removing or moderating any content inconsistent with the First Amendment. That would be a disaster.
A nighttime street scene, brightly lit by numerous streetlights, shows a curved roadway with a low concrete wall and seating area to the left. The seating has some graffiti. A silver car is visible in the background, parked near a stone monument. Trees line the street, and power lines stretch across the scene. The buildings in the distance are softly lit.

Why is it that people I know who decide to jump into #Linux for the first time go for Garuda? I mean, there's nothing wrong with it per-se, but it's also not an incredibly user friendly distro for first timers. Vim should not be a default, it should be an opt into, for example.

In every generation, there are young people who take up the task of revolution directly, intensely, and most seriously.
The Brigade was quite clear in their aims; they sought to attack property, not people, and their targets included banks, fascist embassies, and the homes of Conservative MP’s, including then Home Secretary Robert Carr, courts and, as depicted in the film Misbehaviour, a BBC Outside Broadcast van at the 1970 Miss World event.

Got tired of drilling CW in MorseMachine, Morsle, and Morse code for Android, and listened in a few times today to see whether I can copy off the air yet.
During the afternoon on 20m, Winter Field Day was in full swing and every CQ I could hear was too fast for me to copy anything after "CQ". (Well, I did copy what sounded like "FDW9" at one point which I assume was related to field day activities) After dark, 80m had some folks with a more leisurely pace. However, signals fading in and out meant that I still had trouble copying call signs. I could at least recognize more characters even if I couldn't copy enough to understand...

We'd have to take every claim he makes about the news site feeding info to law enforcement, the gps trackers, the FBI being in on it, the undercover cops tailing him, AT&T being in on it at face value. He's seeing patterns where there are none.
Apparently all this started during a messy divorce. Our minds can do funny things under stress, like deluding ourselves into a persecution complex and making everything fit that, rather than having to deal with an uglier truth.

"Professional photographer here. That was not a thermal imaging camera. That was a canon 1DX camera. A popular photography and video camera. The big thing around it was a camera stabilizer gimbal, most likely a Movi M5. That set up is used for filming high-end videos and commercials, sometimes TV shows. A police department would not have a set up like that. I use set ups like this to film car commercials. That was not a thermal imaging camera."

I do find it odd they ruled his death a suicide but then stated that he had three separate stab wounds to the chest. I have a hard time believing that someone could do that to themselves a second or third time, but who knows.
