He better act quickly. The legal system is just about completely collapsed at this point. He may not get the opportunity at all later.

GOP options for Americans:

  1. Starve, quite literally.
  2. Die from preventable diseases.
  3. Concentration camp.

Voters: you know, he has a point.

Republican plan would make deanonymization of census data trivial in c/privacy@programming.dev

This sounds like an indirect effort to discourage minorities and other vulnerable populations from responding, reducing their future access to funding and representation because they no longer exist by the count.

True, but even their sales pitches are kept quiet. They don’t want the general public to know their full capabilities.

Is the Constitution still relevant? I thought it was mainly a historical document at this point.

Amazing. An app decides if a human being goes to the camps. What a time to be alive.

After police used Flock cameras to accuse a Denver woman of theft, she had to prove her own innocence in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] henfredemars 6 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I’m not sure it matters if it’s legal or not anymore these days.

Still, they can legally demand any recordings from you if they reasonably can know that such recordings exist. Generally they will need a warrant or they may subpoena you for the evidence that they know you have. You can even be arrested for erasing your own footage as destruction of evidence.

Obligatory statement that I am not a lawyer and this isn’t legal advice.

The king could retaliate against Microsoft in particular if they do. He’s above the law.

Unless you’re self hosting your own cameras, just don’t. If you don’t control the data then it’s somebody else’s camera.

The AirTag is the gold standard, but Google had eight months to fix its bad network. It's still not fixed.

If I had a strong source of radio-frequency photons, can these be converted to electricity like a solar panel does for light?

Google Messages takes a step towards secure messaging across apps and platforms (APK teardown) (www.androidauthority.com)
 

Bullet points taken from article:

  • The latest Google Messages beta supports MLS encryption, RCS’s next step toward E2EE interoperability across apps and platforms.
  • We managed to enable MLS for one-on-one RCS conversations in Google Messages, but we haven’t been able to enable it for RCS group chats yet.
  • This indicates that MLS encryption support could be on the horizon for Google Messages.

Note that Google Messages already does end to end encryption, but there are many cases where this feature doesn't work (such as when communicating with an iPhone).

The EU wants Apple to open AirDrop and AirPlay to Android and other platforms (9to5google.com)
 

EU regulation has led to Apple being forced to open up iOS in ways that many never expected, but it’s not done just yet. In an effort to ensure “effective interoperability” with other platforms, the EU wants Apple to make native features of iOS being compatible with Android, including the likes of AirDrop and more.

She doesn’t enjoy getting her nails done, but she likes the result. It seems a shame to put up with two hours of something you don’t like but we paid for, but we went again. That’s where I am now.

Maybe when she’s done we’ll pick up some Indian food but maybe not because we haven’t discussed dinner yet.

Google puts a (new) date on Maps Timeline's shutdown (www.androidpolice.com)
 

Bullet points taken from article:

  • Google is shutting down the Google Maps Timeline feature on June 9, 2025.
  • Personal Maps timelines will be saved on individual devices instead of the cloud beginning on that date.
  • Users should begin the migration to on-device Timeline data before June or risk losing all of their past Maps data.

I'm pleased that this potentially sensitive information is moving on-device instead of on Google servers.
