The wording of the 14th amendment is clear. SCOTUS will not save him if he catches a conviction; which he is under about 100+ counts of across Congress, Federal and State courts. I place the likelihood of all of those charges failing at near zero
No, you are absolutely wrong. Trump HAS charges against him on both state and federal levels.
The 14th amendment places no emphasis on a judge finding one guilty. Therefore yes; it can be that broad. We can show he did something; Congress, DoJ and a State would not be investigating otherwise.
This is blatantly false. There are plenty of jobs out there who will hire you and not do something shitty like installing boss-ware on a computer.
If you allow or enable these employers to get away with it; you're part of the problem. 99.5% of jobs do not require boss-ware to get done properly; and if your immediate bosses or supervisors had no problems with you before...consider it a large red flag. If you're joining a company and they mention this; consider it a large red flag.
This is blatantly false. Name and fucking shame each variety of software. These cockroaches can't stand the light of public attention. The more people who know how to spot and identify malicious and suspicious boss-ware behavior, the better. It protects the user to know that the software exists; as they can better be prepared to combat and deter abuses of this software by unprofessional and shitty bosses.
No; it isn't going to be foolproof. That's not the intent here. The intent is for everyone to be able to name, shame, and identify when software that their employer is deploying is going to be behaving in a manner that blatantly violates their rights to privacy in a non-constructive way that threatens them.
Any company that does this to it's employees is dooming itself to failure anyways. A complete lack of trust makes for a very hostile working environment; and it will generally drive employees away anyways.
As an aside; there are USB devices which can act like keyboards and mice; some of which are very clever and intricate. You can use them to your advantage while using work-issued equipment; but keep in mind you'll need to program it on your personal PC.
You can definitely get creative with some of them and have them simulate the typing and clicking of a lot of different things at random intervals.
If you care about privacy; you tell your employer clearly that you do not tolerate "Boss-ware" or other spyware on your personal devices.
If they give a shit; they will then be forced to issue one that the company owns and manages. If they don't give a shit; you walk away. Lots of companies will hire you without that crap. Don't believe people who gaslight you by saying "But every company uses it!" or anything sounding remotely like it.
On a company-issued machine; you tell your employer clearly that you do not tolerate "Boss-ware" that will be used to track or manage your time. Walk away; if they refuse to keep your machine clean of it or attempt to raise any concern that you're not at your PC every damned moment of your core hours. You have a right to live your life. As long as your immediate bosses and supervisors are happy with the quality and quantity of the work you submit, you've done your job. If they are unhappy with the quality or quantity of your work then, they can respectfully schedule a meeting with you to discuss it. The way an actual adult should be treated, and, would be treated in an actual office that observes all standard rules of professionalism. With respect.
TL;DR: Do not accept the implementation of Boss-ware as if the decision was made with any professionalism or respect for you. If they implement it; you leave as fast as possible. Take any friends that you can with you too, if you can.
I will also place my support for defederation of Hexbear.
Our rule #4 clearly states: (emphasis mine)
No harassment, dogpiling or doxxing of other users.
Every one of you hexbear users AND users of remote instances who are here harrassing and arguing with OP about their views is doing just that. Dogpiling.
In a meta thread that hasn't much place. Instead of trying to discredit the user proposing the defederation; maybe try proving you folks can play by our rules. Yes; Jonah does permit a variety of viewpoints. If you can stay within our ruleset.
as always I leave it up to you to review their behavior(s) @jonah@lemmy.one and decide if defederation is an appropriate action. But the action of the several hexbear users who have replied before this comment have not inspired my faith in them to behave.
I don't think he gets that Trump will NEVER be elected again. It's possible for Trump to even wind up in a state or federal penitentiary; assuming that his defense fails to convince a judge.
It's good to see that old corrupt "good old boy" network collapse inward on itself when you remove someone who was abusing their power to defend them and the rest of the "good old boys"
While I understand the science behind the release of the wastewater; I also really do understand why people are so willing to ban this.
It doesn't matter if it is safe to eat or not. People have a right to not partake in fish from the Fukushima area. Nobody should have the right to conceal origin information about food items in general, particularly not when food may contain things that are potentially impactful to a person's health.
40 μSv might be a "Safe" exposure over time; but that doesn't mean it's completely without health impacts. People are within their rights to avoid that extra dose if they feel the risk is unnecessary; no matter how small that risk may be.
Not going to lie; Google is largely not as bad. I don't see Google being as intrusive as they are just simply BIG. This does have some concerns to be worried about; and it can be seriously bad for your privacy. I don't notice any significant privacy issues; particularly since the worst of Google's offenses can be either blocked or mitigated somehow. They rely on your inaction, and most of the time do not try to override your actions to preserve privacy. Yes there are some exceptions; like with Youtube attempting to force users to watch ads; but these are few and far between when you look into all of Google services in general.
Most of the time if you're using a paid "Workspace" account; there's even a complete lack of ads...as all your usage is paid for anyways.
I don't use Brave, won't use Brave, and have my reasons for it.
Brave is Chromium based; a project which is slave to the whim of Google.
Brave integrates an unnecessary cryptocurrency.
Brave does not block ads! It does not 'enhance' your privacy. It just absorbs some ads, replaces some, and blatantly lets first-party advertisements through the filter. That's not ad-blocking
Brave does not protect your privacy. As per my previous point; it does not block ads, it injects it's own right into browser chrome! That's worse than plain Chrome! Your privacy is automatically violated when you watch/view even a single ad.
Brave does not have many benefits above "Ungoogled Chromium" or other competing projects. It just doesn't. Unless you like marketing fluff.
Brave is NOT BETTER THAN Firefox. It's worse; because it's Chromium; which is enslaved to Google whims. Don't believe me? Try to contribute something to Chromium that goes contrary to Google's stated goals and watch how fast you get shot down.
My guess is that someone noticed that Lemmy doesn't yet have as robust moderation tools as Mastodon and decided they'd federate "NoNoNo"1 images all over the place just to be a troll
Assuming you're right and you have this level of compromise; assume that all of your current computing devices are compromised. This means your computer, smartphone, smartwatch, other Smart IoT devices all need to be shut down and shoved into a bin or drawer.
Your best solution is to scrap all your current computers and start from scratch...build your own PC and install your favorite flavor of Linux on it. Kill your postpaid wireless service; and buy prepaid service line(s) instead; after buying a new unlocked phone that you have flashed something like LineageOS on to.
Furthermore you need to completely kill your internet identity and come back on with an entirely new identity online. New username, new interests, new emails, new everything. Ideally you'd set everything up using Tor...and pay for everything you'd need; such as a VPN; with bitcoin or cash. Never pay with a card; as that can be traced.
In the meantime; While you are scrapping your current tech for more secure and privacy respecting tech and slowly cycling your identity online out for a new one...Please seek a counselor or therapist. I'm not going to say that you are mentally unwell; but I think you need to seek some guidance on your state of mind to ensure you're not going to end up jumping at your own shadows. Anxiety can be a bitch; especially social anxieties. Work with your medical care providers to rule out any instability you could be facing.
Once you've replaced all your tech with tech that respects your privacy; I would hope that would remove a load off of your mind and give you less reason to be afraid or paranoid when online...which will help you to seek more healthy communities which can also help you aim to improve your life in general, share your struggles safely with, and aren't filled with dangerous individuals who get you placed under unwanted scrutiny.
Really all you need to do is quit visiting the communities that are filled with the extremist rhetoric. I get that you may not be an extremist yourself; and that you may be trying to subconsciously escape a very toxic community and get out from under unwanted legal scrutiny so you can start fresh.
As long as you can avoid becoming a regular of these problematic communities; you can typically avoid being in the crosshairs of overzealous Law Enforcement Agencies.
This is, unfortunately very likely. Worse is that this won't do anything to stop kids from doing what they do. It will just lead to more situations where a kid is probably going to be very harshly punished when no harm was actually done, no drugs were consumed, and no weapons were used.
But now; with this randomized dog screening; there are going to be more incidents than there would normally be. Kids will bring illicit materials, objects and substances to school for many reasons that don't involve using them.Some of the time they just want to look or seem cool, edgy or rebellious and they don't actually realize the gravity of what they're doing.
