Not even just Mexicans, but Mexican-looking people (aka Latino).

But it’s not just license to hunt Latino looking people either. The stay was not on that population specifically. The stay was on arresting people on the suspicion based off of any of these henious criminal factors:

• Existing while non-white (this can include Black/African/Caribbean, East Asian, South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Native Americans)
• Waiting for a bus
• Looking for work
• Working at a car wash, a recycling centre or on a farm
• Speaking English with a foreign-sounding accent
• Speaking Spanish (which could be any langauge to a cop that can’t tell foreign languages apart)

No visible minority is safe from this.

If humans had 8 arms, we’d reserve one for back and butt-scratching.

Come on Brett, you’re the fucking Supreme Court, are you that dense not to know the whole thing is a Fourth Amendment violation of the constitution, not just when the enforcement actions are violent? The lower courts had it all teed up, did their job and now you have perverted the concept of equal rights and freedoms for racialized minorities, all in a 10-page thing a couple second year law students could have written.

Has anyone (in Utah) asked: What was he wearing when this happened to him????????

From NYT (cw: gift link to live report with details of shooting):

“Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America in the last 10 years?” a person asks. “Counting or not counting gang violence?” Kirk responds right before he is shot.

There’s actual branded versions of that snack, called Baby Star in Japan.

AFAIK, It’s to solve or mitigate the “Replies from other servers may be missing” issue.

Essentially imagine you are signed in on server A, responding to or looking at a comment from server B. But people on servers C, D and E have faved, boosted or replied to that same comment. Unless you or someone on your server had followed people on the other servers, you can’t see those comments or their contributions to the boost count, unless you go to view the comment on server B’s site.

Backfilling means server A fetching those other actions from other servers somehow, so that they will show up when you view it from your own server reliably. Examples of that somehow could be, obtaining all the info from server B (localized single source of truth), it could be collected individually from other servers, from a centralized server, or other means.

What were the people DHS picked up near the Bear Gulch fire doing, if not firefighting? Were they there just to throw a frisbee around?

Unironically this, if you couldn’t possibly trust any Lemmy admin with your data. Host your own single user Lemmy/mbin/Piefed instance and you set the rules. If you can trust a cloud VPS provider then use that, but if even that is too risky in your view, then self-host. Note it costs money and you will have to put a lot of effort to safeguard yourself from spam attacks and info-stealing.

Using someone else’s server means ultimately entrusting your information for safekeeping with the admin. I’m not that paranoid but it all depends on the tradeoffs you want to pay for.

As others on HN have discussed and I’ve written earlier, it’s because the policy has come in effect without clarity on how postal carriers should collect the tariff from customers and how to remit to CBP.

There’s no calculator or form or instructions on how they might be able to determine the appropriate amount to collect, and so packages may be refused if the CBP’s calculation doesn’t agree with what the postal carrier’s calculation. And finally these “emergency” tariffs have been ruled illegal by the appeals court so it’s just too much confusion for postal carriers to figure out at the moment.

Instead of sneaker-net it will be rocket-net… and at a certain point you need an on-prem on-planet support team to just figure things out.

RT, but I’ll play along for this one…

Trump POV realizing he’s third-wheeling for Russia and China’s longtime bromance:

Yeah. I have used that. And I’m sure most with personal instances that just pressed the “Install NextCloud” button have no clue, including me.

You are correct and I get that. Where I get frustrated is when companies decide to, after I have agreed to share data for one purpose, but then later that data is sold or used instead for secondary unrelated purposes. The clearer and more upfront a company is with how they treat data, the more I can trust it. Of course because of the history of how many companies about-faced on this, that trust is not permanent.

As an aside, the current funding model for the company behind the app is subscriptions from users, and subsidies from transit agencies and local governments, such as Calgary Transit.

I am not sure how the Google settlement connects to your claim that privacy policies never work. Google is an ad company, so that is their priority over everything else.

I also said “at present”, and included the archive version, as I’m aware that if Transit sells out in one way or another their policy and app can change for the worse. But let’s be realistic about what it is right now, this is about the best you can expect from non-libre and closed-source.

The transit app does utilize motion sensor data to try to guesstimate your position while you are in subways or other areas with low GPS reception.

Here’s the privacy policy: https://transitapp.com/privacy-policy (Aug 14 2025 archive version). They have the who, what, where, when and why and how your data is used all in the policy. It’s quite readable, and on 3rd party data sharing, they list out what they collect and which third parties they give it to.

The app is made by a company based in Montréal, Québec, Canada. Personal information data is stored in Canada and the EU, location data not tied to your personal info is collected and stored in the US. The company has at present committed not to sell collected info to databrokers and advertisers, but they do provide it to researchers and transit agencies.

My privacy model is that if I am to consent to my data being collected, I need to receive a tangible benefit that is directly related to the data given. So location advertising to help myself and other people around me know where the bus is is an amazing benefit all around. So I use that feature.

How very sad it is that Corbyn was ousted as leader for making the case for Palestinian rights too early. Now look at what the current ruling Labour party is doing.

America’s got billions of dollars to kidnap people, but not enough federal dollars kicking around to solve homelessness by, you know, building homes people can freely live in?

Or give treatment and help for mental issues that Republicans seem to care about for a few days after every major shopting?

The one thing I am learning from this is that media, to a certain extent, treats Newsom’s silly Trump-mimicking similar to how they do with Trump’s antics.

The gizmodo article here being the exception rather than the rule. Most articles engage and report on this quite shallowly, more talking about what is said and done, rather than the broader picture of what they are doing and why.

It’s bad that they do this, and Walz is way better at trolling than Newsom, but the silver lining benefit is that Newsom doing this sucks the airtime away from Trump’s attention-seeking or distraction stunts.
