I TOLD Y'ALL Flock is not the only surveillance company in the game. Axon (and I'm sure others waiting in the wing) is flying under the radar while everyone talks about Flock.

Many activists & organizers use the Signal app instead of regular SMS texting for increased privacy 🧵 Swipe for practical steps to: • limit records • lock your device • protect your identity • verify contacts • avoid scams Save & share with people who use #Signal! #DigiSec #SecurityCulture #OpSec

REMEMBER Signal is safer, not safe scroll for safety tips

COMMUNICATE SAFELY Signal is not permission to say anything. Keep communications in large or not-fully-vetted Signal chats to a bare minimum. Don’t write anything you wouldn’t want authorities to read, or to be read aloud in court. If someone’s phone is taken or accessed, your messages to them may be visible. Anything can be screenshotted! Whether readable for one day or one minute, it can still be screenshotted.

VERIFY PEOPLE & DEVICES Double-check that you are talking to the person you think you are through a trusted second channel, such as an in-person conversation, video call, or a question only the two of you know the answer to. Use Signal’s safety-number verification. Compare the safety numbers or scan the QR code in person when possible; if they do not match, stop using that channel until you can verify the person. Remove people from chats if they—or any of their devices—become compromised, lost, seized, or accessed by someone else.

MANAGE DATA Set disappearing messages for every chat you create or join to 1 week, 1 day, or shorter. Set a default disappearing-message timer for all new chats: Signal Settings → Privacy → Default timer for new chats. Delete Signal on your phone before traveling internationally. Delete Signal Desktop when you no longer need it, especially before giving away, sharing, repairing, or disposing of a computer. Be careful what you store in chat group descriptions—files, links, photos stored there are visible to everyone with a link to the chat.

Opinion: If a parent doesn't love you unconditionally and accept you without reservation because of your sexual orientation, it is up to them to fix their own shit on their own time. Also. Amputation often saves the life of the patient.

Very cool that Shopify’s CEO thinks the poor should have far less of a vote than the rich. Still worth that ad read money, folks?

Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke says “good system.” In response to the following proposal:

“Interesting... what about weighted voting proportional to the level of income tax you pay? (no income tax paid - O vote, $1-100k - 1 vote, $100-200k 2 votes and so on... cap it at 5 votes for $500k+. For those that constantly complain about the wealthy not paying tax/fair share they'd have nothing to worry about right? Why not reward representation of taxation and build a democracy around those that foot the bill?”

An important update regarding our launch. We have made the tough decision to move the release date! There's a mix of reasons behind it, so here's a quick thread🧵 (TL;DR: Need a 2-3 weeks more, but September is scary.)

Perhaps the worst part of this is that people may assume that it’s *good* because wealthy people are doing it, and it becomes the rationale for some version of this to be incorporated into poor schools. The rich kids are going to be insulated from the worst outcomes. Other kids? Not so much.

My theory about "raising awareness" is that it makes people feel like they are doing something without needing to attend to whether what they are doing works. Which, since I'm still thinking about Spinoza at one remove, is exactly what often makes people nervous about systems thinkers.

The default goal, of course, is raising awareness. Raising awareness is the donor-facing euphemism for freaking out as many people as possible without affecting material conditions. Raising awareness can be good for raising money in the short term, often at the expense of meaningful longer-term progress. We’ll look at fundraising strategy another day.

For an industry that claims it wants new stories with new protagonists, new IPs with character, and stories that haven't been done before. There is virtually no long-term support for the studios that take the risk of creating these games. It's not sustainable.
