U.S. Police kill more than 1100 civilians annually—unprecedented in the developed world.
A new app called TurnSignl, built by Black civil rights lawyers, deescalates police interactions with civilians & get everyone home safe.
Here's how it works.
1. Download the app
2. When pulled over by police, face time a lawyer on demand via voice activation. The call is also auto recorded
3. The lawyer guides the convo.
Download TurnSignl here or gift it to a loved one for free: https://www.turnsignl.com/gift
PSA: Google has now begun to roll-out the Ad Topics "feature" onto Android itself. It's not just in Chrome you have to disable the settings. Please #Boost to spread awareness.
If you didn't get the pop-up screen on your Android device (it looks like the first two screenshots), to opt-out of these settings:
Go to your device Settings
Press "Google"
Press "Ads"While you're here, press the "Delete Advertising ID" button and delete it
Press "Ad Privacy"
Review: "Ad Topics", "App-suggested ads", and "App Measurement". Make sure all are labelled as "OFF". (This page will look like the third screenshot)
If you don't see "Ad Privacy" in Step 4 then it means that it hasn't been rolled out to you yet. You might need to wait and check back in a couple of days to see if/when it has been implemented to disable these settings.
EDIT: There's another setting to review. In step 2, scroll to "Personalize using shared data". Turn everything off.

@yhancik Nice! Yeah I think installable desktop software has this more often. Basically never see it in web apps and SaaS stuff though.
@hank @Myndex I dunno about Torobto but I can get most Ottawa squirrels into my hand with a bit of patience (and some peanuts). There's some vocalizations and hand gestures one can make that are similar to what they do to communicate with each other. I'ce read a bunch of stuff about squirrels and carry peanuts on me everywhwre I go specificallt to commune with them. Generally chipmunks are easoer though if you give them time.
Years of depression and ADHD has resulted in massive amount of clutter in *every* room of my house.
In the process of decluttering, I "create" empty space areas to move items into while I organize/sort/get rid of those items. A sort of swap space if you will.
The swap spaces change all over the house as I move things in and out of them, slowly getting more and more organized and things under control.
I realised today I'm literally defragging my house lol.

real reactions from database administrators. they have played us for absolute fools
@makeworld I find fuzzy match and glob search from the cli can make stuff lretty fast even if you have deep nesting
Occult Enby that's making local-first software with peer to peer protocols, mesh networks, and the web.
Exploring what a local-first cyberspace might look like in my spare time.
