Biden Ordered the DOJ to Stop Using #Private#Prisons. Thousands Are Still Being Held Inside.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren and others are looking into the discrepancy further.
The order restored an #Obama era policy first announced in 2016—and later suspended by #Trump administration—after a damning federal report found that private federal prisons were less safe and less secure than their publicly run counterparts. No longer would the Bureau of Prisons sign deals...
#Privacy tip, for those wanting to purge big social media as much as you can. On #Android , you can set your #private#DNS to "extended.dns.mullvad.net" to add an DNS filter that blocks those domains. Of course it has #AdBlock, tracker, and malware blocking as well on top of it, so it's just safer in general.
#Mullvad 's DNS service is awesome, and you can basically set it up for any device! I have it set up on my #Linux workstations, and even my router as well.
#ICE is considering a new program that could subject more than 5 million immigrants to intensive, intrusive surveillance. Private prison contractors hope to make big bucks off the program — and are spending millions to make sure it passes.
As the country’s immigration agency ponders a significant expansion of its vast, troubled immigrant surveillance regime, private prison companies...
1/ Today, I'd like to talk about two (plus one haha) services that can help you keep your telephone number #private while also enhancing the privacy of your #Signal, #WhatsApp, or other messaging / accounts.
This is really weird: #Safari on #iPad. Anybody any ideas?
I run an air quality sensor on my LAN at a hostname served from the local DNS (which runs on my gateway).
If I access this host from Safari in regular mode, it comes up just as expected.
If I access this host in a "private tab", I now get this (screenshot). The content is what you get if you access the gateway (not my sensor!) without a valid virtual hostname. Why would it access the gateway? And what "privacy protections"?
@davepeck now here is an idea! Indeed the air quality monitor is not directly accessible from the public internet. I guess I need to unpack some network debug tools, and seriously rethink just how “private” a #safari#private tab is if it moves local traffic that only traverses my house LAN to the public internet, and I don’t care how encrypted it is.
An informative conversation of @aral with an inspired @dsearls about the idea of #smallweb :
"what if each one of us had our own place, our own address, a small place on the web, and we could be publishing whatever we want, and people would be able to follow you.. but you could also be private, and i mean.. really #private not Facebook-private, but #endtoend encrypted. The small web is in fact a #P2Pweb." https://twit.tv/shows/floss-weekly/episodes/753
Tip of the day: set your #browser to open links #incognito by default. I have friends sending #facebook#instagram#youtube links to share funny stuff they find online. I typically used #duckduckgobrowser as my default on my phone. However, #firefox displays stuff much better, particularly sites like #lemmy . So I set my firefox settings to open #private by default.
Can a #typescript 5.2+ native decorator inform the typechecker that a private method doesn't need to be called?
in the screenie, I've decorated a #private method with a decorator which implies that the method will be called (when the specified property is set). So in this case, It's not correct for the typechecker to throw an info alert that my method isn't being used. I'd like to do the correct rain dance such that tsc is mollified for such-decorated methods.
Nothing quite angers me like using an app that recommends to me people that I “should” know.
Which means that person probably allowed the app access to their contacts.
Giving an app access to your contacts is like spreading a venereal disease. Now this app knows who I am connected to, and can probably figure out why and how. That’s more information than I wanted to give them.
Don’t give apps access to your contacts. It’s not just your privacy that’s at stake.
@Mrfunkedude@Mikal The same boundary is crossed when you tag someone in a photo/post you upload. Granted, there are options in #facebook settings that prevent that but its not on by #default.
It may not seem like it at first, but this tragic story of travelling abroad for #medical treatment is all about the shadow of the #NHScrisis; both the rationing of treatment(s) and the costs of #private#healthcare for those who are desperate for treatment.
the shadow of the crisis is wrecking people's lives, while the #tories continue their programme of wrecking as long as they can
Apple has very quietly added another layer of privacy for Safari in iOS 17 that basically lets you avoid using Google when you are in private browsing. #apple#ios17#safari#google#private
@hrbrmstr Just tested this out real quick - based on the instructions listed I'm not sure the two 'private-state-token' settings are addressed. Pretty easy to find though at: chrome://flags/#private-state-tokens
