Schwarmintelligenz statt Faktenprüfer: Wie funktionieren Community Notes?
Das Fact Checking durch neutrale Faktenprüfer ist nicht mehr en vogue. Nachdem Elon Musk bereits seit Ende 2022 auf sogenannte Community Notes setzt, folgt ihm jetzt auch Meta-Chef Mark Zuckerberg.Christian Erxleben (BASIC thinking)

It appears that Labour in the UK has chosen short-termism (prioritizing economic growth) over long tern survival (reducing greenhouse gas emissions). The basic decision to reject taxing the rich tends to lead to a bouquet of short-term optimizations that dump the costs on climate disaster over the next few decades.

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.

Thank you for this story, but anyway, "we have nothing to hide"
P.S. US once were a "police of the world" so I think it's harder to hide your identity (in case of privacy and legal things) there, or I'm wrong?

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. Flatpacks should not be pushed over native packages, and yet they are (and then they cause issues as a result!)

With that said, the translation reads "the Americas" (plural) which unambiguously refers to the two continents.
