Dear EVERY LARGE COMPANY ON THE PLANET,

I KNOW WHERE TO FIND YOUR WEBSITE.

I calling because I have a question that was not, and never will be answered by a web site or even call center.

Thx

There are only 14 countries in the world that offer full legal rights to women. The US is not one of them.

Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Latvia, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands

It's 2023 and it's impossible to submit an abuse report to Discord for a message that has been deleted (incl. by yourself trying to mitigate an abuse/spam event).

But tell me more about how Discord is so much better than Matrix re: moderation tooling...

Another one showing how a smaller crop can end up revealing even more of the original screenshot image.

CVE-2023-21036 / acropalypse is absolutely bonkers.

Apparently for 5+ years the cropping / editing tools for screenshots on Google Pixel phones was only overwriting the start of the screenshot PNG file, but not truncating.

All screenshots shared for the past 5+ years might have data recoverable from them. Demo available at acropalypse.app/

Google still hasn't communicated anything on this.

Okay, so, I just found out that I'm being laid off. My department is being completely dissolved.

I'm really sad, because I was doing full remote data entry, and I've never been happier with a job in my life. My mental health has never been better, either.

So, can anyone point me towards a fully-remote position that involves working with data, not phones? I swear, I'm super qualified and really good at this. I work hard, and I'm dependable. In the USA.

Please boost

At over 7,000ha, Whangamarino Wetlands is NZ's second largest wetland complex. Unfortunately it's being poisoned by dairy runoff to the point where birds are now dying in their thousands.

Late last year our government rolled back its freshwater package, allowing housing developments, mines and waste landfills to be built over or around wetlands.

Less than 10% of our original wetlands remains.

It turns out Toyota is fueling the climate crisis. The carmaker that first popularized hybrids, is now attacking laws for electric vehicles, and churning out gas guzzlers like there's no tomorrow. Please sign this petition: actions.eko.org/a/toyota-austr

I feel like three things in this world are so vastly accessible, yet never available when you need one:
- Pen or pencil (writing tool)
- Paperclip (a multitool)
- Staples ( ~ though debatable)
