Nah, the problem is the fascists.

The democrats are in a tough position. If they did come out hard against the actions of the IDF then the Trump campaign would pounce on that.

Israel has positioned itself so strongly in people's minds as the-same-as-Jewish that large sections of the democratic base would be uncomfortable voting for "the anti-israel party".

(not to mention all the actual Jew-hating groups out there who would 100% take the opportunity to do horiffic hate crimes and claim they were just supporting the Dems)

Ugh, politics sucks.

Keep working on harm reduction, y'all, in any way you have energy for ❤️

I'm not a US citizen, but I know people who are, and they're mostly just pissed and fed up with democrats funding fascism and genocide.

I know, it's the US, this shouldn't be surprising, the opposite would be more surprising, but in this particular case it hits their family.

It's like: option 1, your family is murdered, but no one in this country is affected by it, so no one cares (they sure haven't cared much for the past 70-whatever years) Option 2, your family is still murdered, but maybe rise of overt fascism in this country will compel people to take action?

Anyways, I've obviously spent a lot of energy trying to understand their perspective (I'm not going to change anyone's mind), so I'm just sharing.

So if I download an image from the web with GPS data, and then open it in an app that just reads images (so it doesn't need location permissions)... That app (on some phones) gets a modified version of the file?

Which could make me think that the image doesn't have location information.

Which could result in me uploading that file using a browser (that does have location permission turned on) to a website, and I think it's safe to share because there's no private information in the image, but my phone has conspired to mislead me.

Yes, that is cursed.

Lois McMaster Bujold, writing science fiction in 1986 about a genetically engineered hermaphrodite used it/its for pronouns (when not using she or he)

I remember reading a goodreads answer later that she would have used they/them if it had been in common enough usage that she had encountered it.

(though in my mind '86 is relatively recent, but maybe I'm just old)

I really do appreciate the work you put into Beehaw, but to echo what others have said, I don't think anyone wants this to be unsustainable for you, or anyone else working on Beehaw.

At the least I think it could be reported as part of donations/expenses? Rough numbers would be fine too (because the overhead of tracking hours is not fun). So I'm imagining something like:

400 hours unpaid work (2 full time people working, 1 part-time) (if paid, that's $6,000 at minimum wage, $8,800 at a livable wage)

Which is a lot of money, and very scary, but at least it makes the behind-the-scenes work visible.

That said, I'm going to go set up a monthly donation now 🤗

From what I recall they were saving all the packets being broadcast as they drove past. (as opposed to only logging SSIDs)

Edit: Yup, it is as I had thought - but also it was more intentional than I had remembered: https://www.wired.com/2012/05/google-wifi-fcc-investigation/
