Laura Jedeed, "What I Saw in #LA Wasn’t an Insurrection. It Was a Police Riot."
https://www.thenation.com/article/activism/los-angeles-protest-police-riot/

Jedeed doesn't mention a notable earlier use of the phrase "police riot" in the US. So let me inject a bit of history.

I remember the violence in the streets at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
https://www.thecollector.com/chicago-riots-1968-dnc/

I was even indoors at the convention at the time. My step-father was a delegate and I attended on a guest pass.

The National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence asked Dan Walker to lead an investigation into the violence. He and 200 staffers studied film footage, reviewed FBI reports, and interviewed more than 1,400 witnesses. In the end, the "Walker Report" referred to the police violence against protesters, journalists, and bystanders as a "police riot".

Walker was no radical. He was a Naval officer, Korean War vet, executive at Montgomery Ward, campaign chair for Adlai Stevenson III, and Governor of Illinois, 1973-77.

No, Your Honor, all of the torrented Blu-ray rips on my Plex server were being used to train AI.

So I've got the NS App running again without Google account!
In case anyone finds this useful:
get ADB running and do `adb uninstall nl.ns.android.activity`. Only then you can downgrade.
Install version 8.19.1 of the app, and have Google Play enabled (it just checks if it's available, doesn't open it, doesn't require a login).
For installation, hopefully APK Mirror works for you https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/nederlandse-spoorwegen/ns/ns-8-19-1-release/ns-8-19-1-android-apk-download/
If not, you'll have to install Shizuku and SAI, unzip the .APKM and install those with SAI

Probable cause: the Google Play Integrity API ('pairip') https://developer.android.com/google/play/integrity/overview
I haven't been successful in patching the app, probably mostly because downgrading is also prohibited in Android now.

The message from the screenshot only happens if you're logged in to Google on your phone; if you aren't (which most side-loaders probably are) it just tries opening Google Play and asks you to log in to Google to continue.

Spoofing installation from Google Play using Shizuku doesn't work, and my Android 13 seems to refuse installing an older version: `INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE: Downgrade detected: Update version code 27008 is older than current 27231`

if you use the Dutch NS Railplanner app on Android, DO NOT UPDATE.
From version 8.20.2 it uses DRM checks to verify installation through Google Play Store.
This might be due to using Google Services for maps and notifications.
Only other app I've seen doing this, is the HartSlagNu app for community first responders.

Sigh. NS (Dutch Railroads) closed their forums without really informing users. This is a great loss of knowledge, and a community that can actually improve public transport with direct involvement of train drivers, IT specialists and train enthousiasts. Many answers could be found there. Now we're faced with only Facebook and webchat care, neither can give a new solution, just repeat existing answers.

Dit is een goed moment om er nog eens op te wijzen: Maurice de Hond zuigt zijn peilingen een beetje uit zijn duim.
IK hoop dat we ook in Nederland gewoon een verbod op peilingen de dagen voor de verkiezingen krijgen.

@Mndell ik vrees dat dat Andy Kirby's influencer-effect is, de YouTuber die nu een van de eigenaren van MeshCore is en daar nu exclusief over post?
Is die lobby op LongFast in Den Haag? Het probleem met betrouwbare ontvangst deel ik. Vaak dat ik 40% van een gesprek lijk mee te krijgen. Heb nu eindelijk weer mijn glasvezel op balkon in gebruik, maar ben deze weken in Drenthe waar ik nul anderen ontvang.

@Mndell
Ik weet het niet met #MeshCore. Ik heb niet het beeld dat het lichter is dan #Meshtastic, en het is niet helemaal FLOSS: https://store.meshcore.co.uk/products/meshcore-t-deck-software-license

Zie tegenstrijdige verhalen of het nu compatible is met #Reticulum. Dat lijkt me veel toffer omdat het kan bridgen tussen LoRa, I2P, BLE, Packet Radio.. Maar is me nog even te ingewikkeld en lijkt niet stand-alone op ESP/nRF-boards te werken

I think I was a bit less ad rem when being called by a UK number and having difficulty hearing the caller in a busy call centre. But I honestly believe that if I had submitted some form for my interest in their financial product, she would have known my last name.

De Nederlandse participatie in Europese- en Internationale standaardisatie kan beter 🌎

Zo blijkt uit een onderzoek dat Forum Standaardisatie heeft laten uitvoeren. Het onderzoek toont aan dat de mondiale participatie bij internationale standaardisatie-organisaties toeneemt, terwijl de Nederlandse betrokkenheid in verhouding achterblijft.

I got lost for a moment again in my computer.
Considered WavPack as a superior audio codec. Well... 1% smaller files at 20 times the processing cost.

New from 404 Media: we've published the full internal Palantir wiki in which it argues why it is working with ICE. It is rare for outsiders to get insight from a tech company on why it might decide to work on a project like this.

@BrabantsBurgerplatform de vlaggetjes uit de oorspronkelijke tekst op zijn verdwenen bij het kopiëren van Bluesky, daarom is het wat lastiger lezen. https://bsky.app/profile/denisvanvliet.bsky.social/post/3lnqhrmzeec2i

@eythian enjoy! I wish you many, but not too many, speedy ICE's with operational Bordbistro.

Ik had met liefde meegedaan, maar de app is op Android alleen te installeren met een (Nederlands) Google account
