I'm all in for digital stuff. Except subscriptions. Seriously if would mandate that a company has to have a written permission from me to send me newsletter, I would not be mad about it by even a smidge...

@chrispy I never sign up to any newsletters. Yet I’m somehow receiving one from service that I’ve been customer with for years and I absolutely made sure that I’ve deselected all the newsletter options in their settings before.
Businesses absolutely do invent new “newsletter categories” and just bluntly “subscribe all” of their users.
I’d like this to be illegal.

I should not be allowed to internet ...

A simple black-and-white two-panel comic. In the top panel, a small green alien in a robe calmly paints its nails bright pink at a small table and says, “Polish Nail remover, it is.” A human in simple armor stands beside him, frowning and thinking. In the bottom panel, the human imagines a rough-looking worker in front of a sign reading “Janusz & Son,” angrily pulling nails from wood with a hammer and shouting “KURWAAA!” The nail polish is the only colorful element in the comic.

@Gargron Correct. I don’t have the arts skills nor the patience to make those by hand. But I have the ideas.

So inspirational.

When Jeff Beros found out that many of his employees had to take the bus to work, he bought the bus company and raised ticket prices.

@lowqualityfacts I'm so confused. Isn't this account supposed to be satirical irony ... ?

@CoMaps

The settings offer the option to use ‘Google Fused Location Services’. I assume this is so that this Google service can still be used even if it is disabled in the Android settings. @GrapheneOS offers an alternative . It would be nice if could use the location service in addition to the Google location service.

In den Einstellungen wird die Verwendung von "Google Fused Standortdienste" angeboten. Ich nehme an, dies dient dazu, diesen Googledienst auch dann zu verwenden, wenn er in den Android-Einstellungen deaktiviert ist. @GrapheneOS bietet einen alternativen an. Es wäre schön, wenn zusätzlich zum Google Standortdienst auch den Standortdienst von benutzen könnte.

@GrapheneOS "People being surprised by how internet works" was not on my today's bingo card. I guess I'm going to rm -rf /var/log on all of my servers, because oh boy they 100% contain PIIs from this definition.

UK users of Reddit, X, Insta, FB, Bluesky, TikTok, and many other popular platforms are now facing problems. They are being forced to verify their age using government issued IDs and a selfie. All of these for-profit corporations may use this information further for profit or may not even store user information securely. This is a nightmare scenario for many, and I wouldn't be surprised if other governments adopt similar laws.

You see the ICE raid that looked like storming houses in Fallujah today?

They literally showed up in full tactical gear, with battlefield helmets and AR 15's, and blew up a woman's door to gain entry to her home.

She's American. Her 1 and 6 year old kids who were in the house, are American. The boyfriend they were looking for is also American, but his crime was apparently being involved in a car crash with the Gestapo last week. So the Gestapo is now doing "just policing."

Cool shit huh?

@AnarchoNinaWrites Not the point, but: "being American" should not be ever thought as a measure for whether this shit is ok to do to people or not. It's not. Ever.

“Israel's defence minister has ordered the Israeli military to block an aid boat headed for Gaza with 12 activists on board, including Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg.

‘I have instructed the military to prevent the Madleen flotilla from reaching Gaza,’ Israel Katz said in a statement from his office.

‘To Greta the anti-Semite and her companions, Hamas propaganda mouthpieces, I say clearly: turn back because you will not reach Gaza,’ Mr Katz said.”

https://www.rte.ie/news/2025/0608/1517344-madleen-gaza/

Is it going to take Israel murdering Greta Thunberg for the West to take notice that it is committing genocide in Palestine and end its complicity?

@aral I wish I would not live in a world where life of [this well known individual] would be more protected than [this other person].
And a world where [this obvious thing] would be overlooked because of cowardice of those at power.

When using Microsoft Word or Google Docs, don't just make text bigger and bolder to make it a heading. That will work for sighted users, but screen reader users will miss that and just hear it as normal paragraph text. Use actual heading styles, like level 1 through 6.

@A11yAwareness I don't think there is a legit use case for MS Word to have buttons for changing text size and boldness at all.
The UI for the flow was designed backwards, so people started using it backwards.
