@mcc @demize 5 years ago I was stuck in hospital, and their public WiFi blocked nearly everything. I used my phone data to set up OpenVPN at home running on https port, then routed all my traffic through that (phone just barely worked at the first location I was at).

@dec_hl Short answer to your question: No, they don't! And apparently, they don't even take a second look before their design goes into production!

Apparently Tesla is introducing a feature where your new car delivers itself to your home. I just hope the new owners realise that this means their new car can also at any time leave them and run away as well. Another addition to the list of things people never asked for or wanted.

@quixoticgeek It's extra fun when the bicycle lane goes behind the bus shelter.

In Russia you can get ten years in prison for peaceful noisy protest.

Sorry my mistake, I meant England.

@kix3n We do this at conferences with photographs all the time now - Green lanyard is fine, yellow is ask first, red is don't photograph me. Could maybe do the same thing for conversations?

the bar i went to had "approach me" and "fuck off" bracelets

i feel like we oughta have some sorta universal symbol you can wear in public that says "hi, I would like to meet and socialize with strangers" and I could wear it to like the park or library or cafe or some shit.

One shouldn't need to change the OS on one's laptop or phone to get a private, ad free, not actively user hostile, experience on one's own device.

It is essential that one can do these things - I have, and haven't looked back - but if it is necessary, then there is a failure in regulation and enforcement.
