Indiana Cop Used Facial Recognition Scans To Preform Non-Work-Related Searches
  • Speaking as a nonAmerican, I'd think this should be brought to the US courts as constitutionally unsound per the 4th amendment (and in Canada the 8th section of the Charter), shouldn't people be protected from unreasonable search?

    Canada's Privacy Commissioners agree that it violates a reasonable expectation of privacy: https://www.priv.gc.ca/en/opc-news/news-and-announcements/2021/nr-c_210203/

    The fact that the technology makes it capable for an officer to conduct a search for not work related reasons only to be caught much later in audits, makes me think this should be banned.

  • The changing feel lemmy.ca’s front page
  • I agree. I haven't posted much to my local subs these days.

    The way to get your feed feeling more how you want is either to block communities you don't like, or subscribe only to communities you like.

    The communities are patchwork and so the growth rate is not uniform, the TPBS group are recent Reddit refugees that migrated over all together which is why they are a bit of an outsize group on our small and humble server.

    I agree that a default/local feature set would be great, I've been talking about community groups (multicommunities, tags, whatever) should be a thing for months, things that would make it a little easier for users and server admins to curate the experience, because I admit it the feed can feel a bit chaotic when not logged in.

  • Apple Intelligence won't launch in EU in 2024 due to antitrust regulation, company says
  • Apple's may start being salty and blame everything on anti-trust from now on.

    Why were your beans cold this morning? EU's DMA.

    Why did you get delayed to your event? EU's DMA.

    Why did it rain on the one day you were planning to take a trip? EU's DMA, of course.

  • Tough Trolly Choices
  • I select the most proximate lever in each cluster, using any criteria that would produce a beginning of a discrete order (so no ties for first). If I get infinite "tries" then even if it is an infinitesimally small chance of selecting the functional lever, at some point I will expect to get it.

  • Self hosting is hard. How do you overcome?
  • Right now I just play with things at a level that I don't care if they pop out of existence tomorrow.

    If you want to be truly safe (at an individual level, not an institutional level where there's someone with an interest in fucking your stuff up), you need to make sure things are recoverable unless 3 completely separate things go wrong at the same time (an outage at a remote data centre, your server fails and your local backup fails). Very unlikely for all 3 to happen simultaneously, but 1 is likely to fail and 2 is forseeable, so you can fix it before the 3rd also fails.

  • What would you consider your threat model?
  • No one person/company/entity can know everything about me.

    Well, they could, but the price would be high and I suppose I'd end up dating someone who went through that level of effort to know me anyway. :P

    Yep. Treat sick people like piggy banks to shake out until all their coins drop out, ruin their life then kick them on the street or let them die. That's the best™ way to do healthcare.

    Where Driving Consumes the Most of Your Life (And the Least) - CityNerd

    >In 1974, Ivan Illich wrote that the typical American male spent 25% of his waking life either driving a car or working for the income required to pay for one. 50 years later, is this true? And, which cities consume the most -- and least -- of our time with driving?

    Who here's committed to not shop at Loblaws' companies this month (and beyond)?

    Including their brandname chains:

    • Atlantic Cash & Carry
    • Atlantic Superstore
    • Axep
    • Bloor Street Market
    • Dominion
    • Les Entrepôts Presto
    • Extra Foods
    • Fortinos
    • Freshmart
    • L'Intermarché
    • Loblaws / Loblaw GreatFood / Loblaws CityMarket
    • Lucky Dollar Foods
    • Maxi / Maxi & Cie
    • NG Cash & Carry
    • No Frills
    • Provigo
    • Real Canadian Superstore
    • Shop Easy Foods
    • Shoppers Drug Mart / Pharmaprix
    • SuperValu
    • T & T Supermarket
    • Valu-mart
    • Wholesale Club / Club Entrepôt
    • Your Independent Grocer / Independent CityMarket
    • Zehrs Markets

    Yes there are other big oligopoly chains like metro, Sobeys/Safeway, Pattison, but I think it's best to start with one major chain to see how much coordinated action can affect them.

    [HDD] Lemmy crosspost - Refurbished server hard drives, 12TB for 80USD plus shipping, taxes, import fees.
    infosec.pub 12TB for $80 - serverpartdeals.com - Infosec.Pub

    Has anyone bought from here before? Looking to upgrade my NAS drives.

    12TB for $80  - serverpartdeals.com - Infosec.Pub

    Costs I estimate to be typical for 1 HDD, about 120USD which is about 170CAD

    For 5 HDDs, I estimate about 485USD which is about 685CAD.

    Ymmv, and these drives are if you just want bulk capacity at the lowest price over all else.

    Table of various levels of piracy

    Here's a table I adapted from Louis Rossman's video on the levels of piracy, grey areas and his morals and ethics on it. (spreadsheet file)

    I tried to condense each rank and make it less about a specific type of media like CD audio or DVD video, along with a table of simplified characteristics of each situation. Of course more levels can be added and there are many situations not covered. This hierarchy is simply the way Louis ordered it from more to less justifiable; he respects people can think about it differently and I do too. He suggests that he doesn't really care about people that pirate without giving a shit about creators, and that he only has a problem with people who aren't honest with themselves about their motivations.

    Setting legality aside, what 'level of piracy' is morally or ethically acceptable to you?
