I thought it was a good fit for this community. Good to know my repost wasn't just spammy.

What do you expect from a train that stops at a place called "student city"?

It provides a convenient connection between various installations of the technical university, like the hospital, the nuclear reactor, and the research brewery.

That took me way too long.

It's not quite the same, I think.

Abuse of rights

There's various concepts in common law jurisdictions that go in the same direction.

Abuse of process

No. Not imagery and not intimate as defined.

For the lulz!

...as a drunken man uses lamp posts — for support rather than illumination.

The question makes me remember Daryl Bem, a celebrated social psychologist. He published a much cited article called "Writing the Empirical Journal Article". About 15 years ago, he used this advice to prove that humans can see into the future. His advice is probably still used to teach. That's probably the worst thing you can do.

Is anything output in the console (F12) when you try to post?

What browser do you use?

There’s a few billionaire numptie

Like who?

That would certainly be quite surprising. The expression of Trump being right is flexible enough to be interpreted in various ways.

The only plausible way would be if he achieves some largely meaningless concessions and the media spins it as a win. But if the American electorate gets the idea that the US can get free stuff by throwing a fit, then any agreement is not worth the paper it is written on.

Well, I guess that's the answer. If Trump achieves anything positive with this, then the reaction with be self-destructive.

Do you have any particular scenario in mind that ends with Trump being vindicated?

It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.

I don't think you have the choice. Products that aren't imported are made with parts that are imported. In fact, there will be products that have several layers of products tariffs in them, for example cars. Parts are made, assembled into bigger parts and ever bigger parts, and may cross the Mexican or Canadian border each time.

These tariffs are a monumental act of economic self harm. That's what the stock market is saying. Stocks have (rational) value because you are entitled to a share of future profits. The stock market crashing tells you that the pros expects that a lot of value is not going to be created. Trillions of dollars will not be paid out to stock-owners, and further trillions will not be paid out as wages. The real wealth that is the other side of that money - all these new goods, cars, phones, TVs, dishwashers ... - will not exist in the USA.

So, don't worry about hitting them in the wallet.

If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on an American ball sack—for ever.

Maybe watch out for products from Russia and Belarus, as they are not included in the tariffs. This may start a new era of economic cooperation; putting the US in USSR. Ironically, Russia is still hit hard because of oil taking a nosedive.

Humanity is the CEO of earth.

That's a lot of parameters. Wow. I didn't know they'd go this big.

It stands for Black Dragon Scale Mail, you bug lover.

I think I can contribute something to the "privacy" aspect. But I'll say first that I have noticed the same thing. There are some toxic behaviors that feel more common in these circles than what I have experienced elsewhere.

There is a lot of confusion around European data protection rights and privacy. EG the GDPR is often wrongly called a privacy regulation. In reality, privacy and EU data protection rights are entirely separate.

In the Charter of fundamental rights of the European Union, you will find privacy in Article 7 and data protection in Article 8.

EU data protection works similar to copyright in that you have rights over data. Personal data is defined as any data that is "directly or indirectly related" to you (GDPR). It does not matter if the data is public or private, sensitive or banal. It doesn't even matter if the data can be connected to your real identity. That's quite unlike what one would think of as privacy.

So, it does not matter if people expected their communications to be secure or not. "Reasonable expectation of privacy" is a concept in US law.

Comments, posts and DMs are personal data because they are connected to a user who is a person. If any other person is mentioned, then this mention is their personal data. You could even argue that some post or comment also becomes someone else's personal data when they reply to it. Such texts cease to be personal data only when the connection is irreversibly broken. As long as the connection can be restored, it remains personal data, even if that requires access to information that isn't readily available.

When a DM is sent to some unauthorized recipient, that is literally a violation of the senders fundamental rights. In truth, this is relatively serious compared to some other stuff that causes outrage or gets the authorities involved.

It might have been legally required to notify the authorities of such a data breach within 72 hours.

Look again. The explanation is that these images simply don't look like any kind of CSAM. The whole story looks like some sort of scam to me.

When I saw this, 2 questions came to mind: How come that this isn't immediately reported? Why would anyone upload illegal material to a platform that tracks as thoroughly as Meta's do?

The answer is:

All of those accounts followed the same visual pattern: blonde characters with voluptuous bodies and ample breasts, blue eyes, and childlike faces.

The 1 question that came to mind upon reading this is: What?
