Maybe unpopular opinion:
If your websites has urls like somedomain.com/subcategory/sub

Then you should also provide a url alias like
somedomain.com/post-title that redirects to the actual article.

I don't need vague tinyurl-like shortener. I want to know the url is legitimate content from you.

I want short and memorable url I can share with other people. It doesn't need to be super short, but short enough and meaningful enough.

In an alarming development, it appears the UK Government covered up a massive spike in trans youth suicides after restrictions. Then covered it up again when caught. Now, after fighting for years, the data is public: trans suicide increased 5x in the country. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Trans Youth Suicides Skyrocket...

Meine Familie war in Deutschland um mich und meine Schwiegerfamilie zu besuchen, meine Eltern dachten irgendwie die Geschenke sind so wenig, dass sie Flu-Virus aus Korea mitbringen mussten. Ende der Reise waren alle tot krank. Musste einige Reiseplan weggewischt werden. Nun sind sie wieder im Flugzeug nach Korea, ich warte auf meinen Zug... einbisschen traurig aber ab morgen fängt wieder mein Alltag an! Das freut mich auch irgendwie...

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show was an act of joyful resistance

“This was more than a stand against the ugly actions of ICE and Trump’s racism. It was a cultural celebration of community that decentered colonialism and U.S. imperialism.”

I guess I should add that it's GOOD these guys are trying to retcon with the NYT's help, even if you shouldn't believe that it's driven by any real honest introspection. It means the delicate alliances that propped up this deadly kakistocracy are fracturing and they know shame is returning.

Currently, the outrage to the visible contents of the Epstein files is so mild that I have to think the majority of people just aren’t even casually checking them. I can’t think of a phrase to describe what I’ve read even as a forensic analyst. “Cartoonishly evil” is too gentle. Horrific. Inhuman.

RE: mastodon.social/@verge/1160410

What’s the state of “I just want a private forum” these days?

(I’m aware of Taggart’s breakdown, but I explicitly don’t need any of the chat functionality, really just need a forum that is very very private)

Being able to get managed hosting a plus (I’m happy to throw money at people to handle IT admin, I just want to do the community management myself)

Each time a new privacy-invasive
feature like facial scanning is implemented, if people in majority comply and accept to use it, it will soon become normality, and other options will be marginalized or even removed entirely.

If each time a new privacy-invasive
feature is implemented people opted to refuse it, it would soon be discontinued.

Each individual opposition to privacy-invasive features matters.

It is an act of self-protection but,
perhaps even more importantly,
it is also an act of protest.

A protest against the normalization of mass surveillance and the loss of privacy rights.

The fact that there are other cameras around doesn't mean that more cameras or additional scanning is not making things even worse.

If we do not refuse,
if we do not fight for our privacy rights,
we will lose them all.

First, they'll ask for your official IDs to confirm your age and identity.

This will create a large treasure trove
of sensitive data, which will attract criminals, and will inevitably leak from either negligence or malice, sooner than later.

Then, they'll claim your official ID is
unreliable, because it was stolen so many times, and demand you share your biometric data.

They will collect your face scan,
your palm scan, and even your iris scan (no exaggeration, these are all already being collected by some companies for identification). They will claim it's super safe.

This will create a large treasure trove
of sensitive biometric data, which will attract criminals, and will inevitably leak from either negligence or malice, sooner than later.

Then what? Rinse and escalate.

You will have lost control of not just your corporate social media accounts by participating to this, but to any data capable of validating your identity, to your privacy rights, to the protections you could use online to stay safe.

We don't have to wait that it escalates.

We can, and must, push back and say No now. Start to say No now.
