On desktop anyways, the Instance Assistant extension ( [email protected] ) can let you jump between posts. I haven't figured out a pattern on what the mobile apps are doing. Sometimes when I copy the link it's from my home instance, sometimes it's not.
ex. Here is the same post on a few different instances, generated by the extension:
There are a few shows I didn't like, but then they improved significantly. So rather than getting cancelled, that's probably what I'd look for
along with a commission to take punitive action against those individuals who have abused their regulatory power for personal and political gain
I assume he followed up with evidence that was happening right, and didn't just say that and move on to the next outrageous comment, right?

“I fear that our export-control laws are not equipped to deal with the challenge of open-source software - whether in advanced semiconductor designs like RISC-V or in the area of AI - and a dramatic paradigm shift is needed,” Warner said in a statement to Reuters.
huh, well that's not something I've had to think about before.
Edit:
I guess this a matter of what precedent is set, and limiting this kind of talk to a few distinct areas.
It would be AWFUL for so many sectors if we start placing blockers on open collaboration and access to information. A non-tech example might be health research where sometimes limits make sense (ex. Independent research on diseases, when something has the potential to be weaponized), but for the most part there's so much good that comes from open collaboration.
There's this feeling that's sometimes pushed where "conflict is inevitable", but it's... not? It's harder to work towards something together, and defaulting to conflict is the lazy way out.
Compared to a lot of politics around the world, our local provincial government (BC Canada) is relatively... boring, and I love that so much!
There will always be issues, but for day to day things, the major parties are just doing their jobs. It's boring, and the politics is in good faith for the most part. The focus is on issues and the best way to implement some change, rather than populism.
There are other great things the government has done, but this is what comes to mind first
Maybe they are thinking along the lines of stopping apps on the phone from using the locally calculated GPS data, since the apps can then send that data elsewhere?
For location though, there are lots of other ways to determine location info, such as WiFi networks, cellular towers you connect to, nearby devices. Even if you disconnect the GPS and then walk to where you need to go, your phone's accelerometer/gyro to figure out where you went.
Rather than trying to physically disconnect all that, it's probably easier to do it software side. If location data is really a concern, use grapheneOS and don't install anything questionable.
While that might be true, I think some of these expectations and understandings are based on a world that no longer exists.
In the past, you could only be seen by the few people around you. Even when recorded, there was a limited number of people that could see the video. Now some influencer can run up to you and share your reaction with a few hundred million people. On the side of data collection, companies have so much more aggregate data that they can use and abuse. With newer algorithms to analyze that data, they can keep pumping more and more data into it to figure out intimate details about who you are and how you feel about things.
So yea that might be how our laws and social norms are set up now, but we don't have to stick to it if it doesn't make sense anymore.
I do both
There are a lot of things that don't affect me directly, but I might vote/sign a petition for it. Even if it doesn't actually work out in my favor, more people see it and learn about the issue.
If there's a petition going around or news about the number of people that signed, and someone was already on the fence, it might act as the straw that gets people to dump Amazon smart home products.
There's also the case where these devices are collecting data on you even if you don't own one. What if you go to a friend's place, or a friend is talking about something you're working on, or even if you walk by a house that has a smart doorbell?
Not saying everyone NEEDS to do this, because you need to have the time and mental energy to deal with it. Just saying that there's still value in doing so even if you don't use the products yourself.
I'm lucky right now because it takes the same amount of time by car as it does by transit. On a good day it might take 20 minutes, on a bad day it could be 30-40. The bad days only happen when there's terrible weather and the roads are at a standstill
Yep, or taking clips of unrelated incidents (older / from other parts of the world / from fictional media) and suggesting that's what's happening right now. Some of the atrocities we're hearing about ARE real, and spreading fake stories/clips does not help any side. There's also the risk that sharing a very recent clip will put someone in that clip in harms way.
So agreed, as curious as we are to know more, we aren't the priority. Hopefully everyone caught up in this find safety
