Yeah, and then people you work with act confused when you ask permission to take a picture, even of the thing in the closet that's supposed to control the system for the rest of the building, that doesn't work, and that way you can go back to doing your actual job and go digging for user manuals or better yet repair manuals on your own time from your own computer. Sorry I "only" work(ed) for the city; that still makes it a government job, technically. Sorry it's "only" the on demand hot water thing in the closet. So we're clear, no one actually said any of that, or at least not to me (probably not at all, I would guess). That's what I was thinking, though, because you know where else the city has control panels that have to do with water, where you'd better not dare take a picture of anything without permission? Yeah, the treatment plant. That's probably a federal offence, as well it should be. How much of a reach am I really making with my rationale here?

@Em0nM4stodon in my (US) culture at least we are conditioned to give up our privacy and consent from birth. Authoritarian parenting, school systems, then work environments are all exercises in giving up our own autonomy. It's depressing but should be no surprise at all that so many people give it up willingly as adults who should be able to make choices in their own interest

We really need to work hard all together to improve our collective culture around privacy and consent.

This isn't just a matter of using the right tools and enforcing the right policies,
this is about people.

ALERT for Bluesky Bridge Users 🚨 🦋

If you are using a Bluesky bridge on Mastodon, DO NOT TAG Mastodon accounts in your posts without prior informed consent from this person.

This could end up showing a preview of this person's profile picture and bio on Bluesky without their consent.

Additionally, be careful about how the upcoming Quote Post feature could behave with Bluesky bridges.

Some of us don't want our information shared with commercial platforms like Bluesky, and have not consented to this bridge.

This practice can even endanger some Fediverse users.

If you have chosen to share your
own data with commercial platforms, make sure you leave the same choice to others.

This is important.

Happy #Caturday from Wren, Frankie and Theo (formerly Zero, formerly Taye). Frankie will be going to live with her new family in 8 days. 😿 Her new parents have been to visit her 4 times and she's become fairly comfortable with them. Her new mom is always happy to see Frankie show up in our Zoom meetings.
