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

There should be a reverse Indiana Jones film where a South American tribe sneaks into the Vatican, steals some relics, and gets away on a boat while a bunch of men in golden robes shake their fists and shout their strange language.

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.

One thing that bugs me about apps is that I can't leave them open to a page and navigate to another page in the app in another instance (window, sessipn w/e) That's just such a useful feature and mobile app standrds (in terms of what folks do not what's powerful) have made it basically impossible
Dang it'd be neat if everyday software had a "credits" section the way videogames and movies do.

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.

> whooops, we leaked 38TB of data.
> my bad - 34 years of social security numbers and passports leaked
> what do you mean the national postal service can't rent access to lists of citizen's information?
real reactions from database administrators. they have played us for absolute fools
I wish humans would turn down the light pollution in the night. Hard to enjoy the dark with all the floodlights and stuff blocking my view of the sky
I have no clue how google homes work, but I should be able to just sumkon it by name without extra app poking right?
If only I had a "perfect" p2p protocol that was resource efficient, mutable, and fully local-first. :x Also with http gateways and a url spec.
Considering making some sort of digital beast that I can summon into people's homes via their google assistant. I'd talk to it in code and use pass phrases to access it's true nature.
probs jusr for playing my music and stuff?

I had a dream where @makeworld posted a screenshot of his terminal in a work group chat askong a question but it had some sort of cli command called "ужде" invoked like "ужде -уху | something" and I was in the middle of figuring out wtf it was supposed to do but my phone woke me up. I'm guessing it would have been some common tool used by merveilles.town folks though :P
(the cyrillic letters are gibberish btw and not actual words)

being a programmer is very liberating because i can turn any computer problem into a much weirder computer problem
Went to my first hardcore punk show. It was fun.

Lol I was a bit too hasty packing for my move and now all my makeup and medicine stuff is in a jumble in a box 😅😅
People are always like "what are the financial incentives for #P2P protocols??" but I'm here seeding like 50 TB per month out of the goodness of my heart and my unlimited fibe internet.
All Linux ISOs and copies of Big Buck Bunny.mp4 of course. 😈
Defs gonna set up some sort of TOR and Veilid relays or whatever. Maybe also move my server hosting to be on prem in my living room?
