  • #TheInternetNamesAnimals was my favorite viral Twitter trend. Remember the danger noodle?

  • Brennan clears throat, adjusts glasses, makes prolonged eye contact with everyone in the room simultaneously

    "Okay. OKAY. I have been sitting with this for six hours and I cannot physically contain it anymore.

    The Thin Blue Line narrative—and I mean this with my whole cardiovascular system—is one of the most effective and insidious propaganda apparatuses in the history of American mass media. And it works because the characters are GOOD. They're charming! They're funny! They have FEELINGS and RELATIONSHIPS and they are genuinely trying to do the right thing, and that is EXACTLY how hegemony sustains itself. It doesn't show you the institution. It shows you Tim Bradford, and you love Tim Bradford, and now you have quietly absorbed an entire framework for how crime and punishment and community and safety are supposed to function in a civilized society WITHOUT EVER BEING ASKED TO CONSENT TO THAT LESSON.

    And I'm—look. I'm not saying don't watch it. I watch it. I'm ON it right now. I'm saying watch it awake. Watch it with the part of your brain that remembers that the writers' room is making choices, that the network has relationships, that the genre itself has a politics that predates everyone in this room.

    ...Does anyone want to do a Cop Cuties bit with me?"

  • Three even

  • Vice News covered this more than a decade ago in "This Is What Winning Looks Like." They literally filmed a conversation where a US soldier tried to explain to an Afghan police chief why raping children was bad. His response was "who else are we going to fuck?"

  • If Israel hadn't recognized them, would Somaliland be that bad? They do seem to operate mostly independently from Somalia. They have an actually functioning government, their security situation is better, and self determination seems an important value.

  • Swahili has 10 different "genders," called "noun classes" or "ngeli," and none of them correlate with sex. Instead, the third-person singular pronouns are:

    • he/she and him/her: yeye
    • his/her: wake

  • I see pride! I see power! I see a badass mother who don't take no crap off nobody!

  • Yes.

  • That was my first time testing the backup. Good suggestion.

  • Yes. It automatically closed after two weeks of me waiting on a response after they said they'd escalated it.

  • Paid. I also found it hard to believe, which is why I checked the logs, tried working with their support staff, and wrote my own program to confirm.

  • It's a privacy-focused backup service.

  • Privacy @lemmy.ml

    IceDrive silently lost 12% of my files (3,000+ files) over 3 years. Check your backup NOW.

  • Correct me if I'm misunderstanding something, but I think you can still control Nova's permissions through your phone's App Permissions manager just like any other app. I didn't allow Nova any permissions even before they were acquired, and I certainly don't now. Does that help with your very valid privacy concerns?

    I resonate with your sentiment against minimal launchers and in favor of FOSS apps. I've tried a few and haven't found any I like.

  • I like Nova launcher, personally.

  • Just in case you want advice, I've found that using a custom launcher app solves that problem for me. I spend an hour setting up the interface exactly how I like it, then never change it again. When I get a new phone, I load the launcher settings from the last phone into the new one, and everything looks and feels exactly like I had it before.

  • Inspired by this post, I just created a phishing test for my staff with a malicious URL in a "report this as spam" link, complete with a required training for those who click the link.
