If they nickel and dime simple visitors like that, I can only imagine what they do to the people who actually rent the place.

It’s roughly how it works elsewhere. I was surprised to see that you don’t need an id or a document to vote there.

We’re sneaky. I call it effective authoritarianism, it’s a sugar coated baton

It’s meant to be read like a boris skit, than it works flawlessly.

It was due to the actual active minefields in certain region of the EU. But i was always so confused by that name. ‘Prato fiorito’ does it mean that if I step on the flowers i explode? This is what i thought back than.

It doesn’t sound rational at all, that anyone would need to convert for some highly specific context. I also don’t see cultural heritage as a powerful motive to do some things, people can lose cultural heritage without even thinking. They might feel distant from a certain side.

No, this is just delirious.

You have the level of understanding of a redditor.

Apparently the platform operated as some sort of gossipping/reporting system where unaware men and guys could be posted, so they could basicallly do the same thing that happened to them, all on one if the most unsafe system possible.

Honestly I see this as a consequence of their own actions mostly the database was unprotected. Their purpose was to document men behind their back. Turns out it backfired.

Having public social media can be useful. And it was always possible even before (oh yes MySpace). My issue is having this eternal access as a proof of existance on you all the time. I am fine with the idea of having a public life, what triggers me is the normalisation of surveillance from subjects who never had the concept of being surveillance actors in the first place.

Not to mention, how many abusive partners are already using this feature already? I guess many more than just jealus couples. Airtags had the same problems, but thera are apps to let you spot them, even than they’re an invasive technology. Position sharing can be invasive too. Even voluntary sharing is probably worse than we think.

There are few cases where i can think this as a useful feature, like incidents or other unspecified situations.

The one thing that stands out is that this is active constantly. It’s not situational. The article doesn’t do a good job at detailing the possible abuses of the function but they’re there, they were the same with gps trackers and airtags. Gps devices are notoriously expensive relative to these alternatives so nowadays only a certain person would use them.

If there’s an emergency it will be known regardless. Levels of paranoia that are not justified; how many emergencies have you been in where an Internet connected device is so important in the shortest amount of time? Or at all. No. You might need a phone. But not an app in particular.

And for long term emergencies an fm/am radio is a better tool than the Internet.

a common way to keep tabs on friends, family and romantic partners so I allow the app to alert him each time I reach my front door. In a disappointingly heteronormative and retrograde move, I’m more interested in knowing when he goes out – where’s he off to now? – and set up my own notifications accordingly. Having grown up with the internet, gen Z are, generally, more comfortable sharing their data online; Snapchat, the social media platform notoriously most popular with younger users, has long incorporated location sharing with its Snap Maps feature.

Does anyone even have a private moment at all? Also if I were to cheat I’d leave my phone in a very specific spot if I can. Faux location services may work, but mostly switching to a feature phone seems to be secret trick that shuts down these app fueled nightmare.

Oh, sorry, the battery is down I had to switch to my old phone for a moment! When did we stop having private moments and thoughts? I like tech when it aides me, but recently it has been feeding off my personal time and even some order of thoughts in ways it didn’t do before. It almost feels like it tries to fix and set up human emotions in ways that are forced.

Do you want technology to replace normal communication and socialisation skills? Or does it even matter to you that it is what happens now. Remember that only a few years before nobody followed you all the day, and even the internet access was relegated to a computer room. How far have we come from that?

My theory is that if you’re cute you’re socially protected and the same applies to states and countries. Switzerland is quite the nice place and there are cultural hubs of historical importance, so it has the cute look now doesn’t it.

I know this and i know that political systems in Switzerland are really unique. I think this kind of thing can pass despite the robust involvement of the civil society, mostly because it’s an update on a preexisting law. But this is something I can’t tell as of now.

The fbi suggests using an ad blocker. Guess what an ad blocker is as important as an antivirus.

The parallels are scary. But seriously fight back your future is at stake. I have never seen such a rise in hatred and immotivated targeting of any cultural dissent in the past few years. Now anything non trumpish is being seen as un-american, but Trump is un-american, betraying in the most vulgar way the constitution. Now even legal paying foreigners are seeing more shit. And now even Americans are seeing some shit too, and it’s getting worse with palantir collecting anything personal.

It’s a self report.

Mandatory arbitration agreement for a protein shake or whatever it is. First it may not be enforceable. Second it makes me think that this product is not fit for consumption.

Here’s who to hate this time around fellas

Delta accomplishes this pricing through a partnership with Fetcherr, a six-year-old Israeli company that also counts Azul, WestJet, Virgin Atlantic, and VivaAerobus as clients. And it has its sights set beyond flying. “Once we will be established in the airline industry, we will move to hospitality, car rentals, cruises, whatever,” cofounder Robby Nissan said at a travel conference in 2022.
