mozz , in Data privacy after Dobbs: Is period tracking safe?
@mozz@mbin.grits.dev avatar

TL;DR fuck no

unexposedhazard , (edited )

Surely there are fully offline and open source solutions to this right?

Edit: Yes there are. I dont menstruate and dont know enough details to check if this is a good app, but it looks very well made and clean. Its also available on all platforms and from Fdroid.

bloodyhealth.gitlab.io

Ofcourse if the cops get access to your device then everything is joever no matter what you use.

homesweethomeMrL ,

A notebook is offline. That’s perfect.

AmidFuror ,

Should be coded, though. With easy deniability in court.

unexposedhazard ,

If you use a sufficiently good passphrase on your degoogled phone, they cant bruteforce their way in, even with NSO group tools. Trying to come up with your own code is just foolish.

AmidFuror ,

ENCRYPT THAT BIHHHHHHHHH

Kalkaline ,
@Kalkaline@leminal.space avatar

Yeah, I generally agree. Offline encryption with a PIN is the way to go if you’re worried (and you probably should be). If they try to make you unlock it, you can forget the pin, biometrics don’t have that advantage.

unexposedhazard ,

I believe these apps allow you to do things that you cant easily do by hand.

eodur ,

Unfortunately I don’t have the links any more, but I did some research and there are some good privacy-focused apps for this. I recall seeing some with features specifically to prevent unauthorized access and with emergency data shredding functionality. I think I saw one that would cleverly create random realistic data if accessed incorrectly.

CameronDev ,

I created one with a duress feature:

github.com/cameroncros/PrivatePeriodTrackerplay.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cross.p…

There is also:

play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.drip

But the play store hides mine, and drips is way down the list.

tigeruppercut , in Daughter of late Supreme Court Justice Scalia appointed to Virginia Board of Education

At first I saw “psychology educator” and was thinking that at least she has some credentials, unlike Betsy DeVos who bought her position with daddy money. But then I found an article:

Del. Katrina Callsen, a Democrat from Albemarle, said in a Tweet that Bryce was “a failed Moms for Liberty candidate.” Teacher and Democratic Sen. Schuyler VanValkenburg said on social media that Bryce had no credentials and "spent a year running for School Board embroiled in culture wars.”

And that’s pretty much all I needed to know.

She has a doctorate in clinical psychology from UVA apparently. So she knows this is all bullshit culture war nonsense and is just clawing her way to the top.

roy_mustang76 ,

Time to teach a fun fact!

Up until 2020, the official name of Rhode Island was State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations

Providence and surrounding towns on the mainland were the “Providence Plantations”, and Newport and Portsmouth, on the island also known as Aquidneck Island, were the Rhode Island part of the equation.

tweeks , in Man dies at 27 from heat exposure at a Georgia prison, lawsuit says

96°F = 35.6°C

Woht24 ,

That’s not even that hot, pretty wild you can die from whatever heat related issues he had in just 5 hours.

Pre-existing conditions maybe?

GeorgeTheFourth ,

Go stand in that heat for 5 hours. Go ahead we will wait for you to report back on how easy it was to survive.

shikitohno ,

I mean, I’ve worked in agriculture pulling weeds in those temps and setting up irrigation lines. It was literally 30° F hotter in my job where I stand in front of the kitchen door a couple weeks ago. It’s a far cry from comfortable, especially if you don’t have access to water, but I can’t imagine dying from it, absent some other health condition that was aggravated by it.

Also, just to be clear, I absolutely think it’s abusive to leave an inmate in such conditions without access to water and shade, I’d just be surprised to hear it was fatal in an otherwise healthy young person.

militaryintelligence ,

Victim blaming

shikitohno ,

How? Yes, it is absolutely abusive behavior, but these are hardly the worst conditions people work in. It’s literally been hotter and with higher humidity in New York for a couple of weeks, let alone the sort of conditions that many work in in tropical countries, or even a significant portion of the South, a great number of which are not known for extraordinary labor rights. It’s entirely possible to point out that something should not be permitted, while also recognizing it generally wouldn’t be fatal to an otherwise healthy adult.

This does not attribute any blame to the individual, nor does it reduce the culpability of the officers that subjected them to these conditions, fwiw. Just because something should not generally be fatal does not in any way mean it’s okay to subject someone to those conditions.

Daxtron2 ,

The heat of a concrete cell is entirely incomparable to a wet field.

shikitohno ,

Lol, tell me you haven’t worked in agriculture without saying it. These are not wet fields, it was drip lines strung over pots with a black plastic tarp laid out underneath, so you get to enjoy the heat being reflected back up to you. Yet another liberal on the internet that wants to speak on behalf of people whose experiences they have no frame of reference for.

KevonLooney ,

But you can leave. That’s a big difference between the two. If you feel bad, you can just sit down for a rest. I’m sure you got lunch too.

I don’t know why you’re trying to say your job was the same as a prison cell.

shikitohno ,

Yes, clearly everyone is in a position to just walk off their job at any point in time, with no consequences for being unemployed.

I don’t know why you’re trying to say that the people who work these jobs, and largely live paycheck to paycheck, have the same sort of freedom as people who are financially stable. I was making my state’s minimum wage at the time, which was entirely insufficient to pay for any decent standard of living. My co-workers who were undocumented were paid even less, had no recourse if they were fired for complaining about conditions or working “too slow” according the bosses, did not qualify for unemployment insurance and had a significantly harder time finding new work than I would. Just like the majority of people out working on farms in the US today. But yeah, let’s pretend it’s as simple as walking off the job if it’s uncomfortable for everyone.

Your comments make it apparent that you’ve never worked these sorts of jobs or been in these sorts of conditions. What, you’re going to just walk off the job because it sucks and become homeless when the weather and working conditions suck? Because that’s the sort of choice that faces millions of people in the US today. It doesn’t even need to be in agriculture, you can find similar conditions in so many non-unionized positions doing things like landscaping, manufacturing jobs, kitchen work, etc. Florida literally just passed a bill that removed employer responsibility for providing rest and water breaks based on heat stress during work being performed earlier this year.

But sure, everyone has several months’ expenses in their bank accounts and work in a field where they can get another job from one day to the next…

Djtecha ,

What is the point you’re even trying to make here? You worked a rough job vis a vi you can excuse this horrible tragedy caused by the state? Like really, what the fuck is your point bro?

Burn_The_Right ,

A person working in hot conditioms has the ability to back out and find AC and shade if they are starting to feel heat sick. A prisoner just suffers.

It amazes me how incapable of a little empathy some people are. What the fuck is wrong with people?

shikitohno ,

A person working in hot conditioms has the ability to back out and find AC and shade if they are starting to feel heat sick.

Welcome to working in agriculture, where you don’t get to do this, unless you can afford losing your job. Keep on telling me how it is in a job you’ve obviously never worked, though.

Burn_The_Right ,

I’m just guessing it’s a bit better to actually survive by walking off the job if needed than to just drop dead in a field. But, what do I know? I’m just a dumb heat stroke survivor from the south.

Maybe you’re right. Maybe a prisoner dying in a concrete cell is the same thing as having a job outside. Thanks for the enlightened conservatism.

shikitohno ,

How on earth is this enlightened conservatism to point out that these are not fatal temps for an otherwise healthy individual? I guess the whole population of the third world that lives in the tropics and doesn’t have air conditioning just have superior genes according to you? Fucking hell, literally millions of people around the world live in conditions where they see temperatures as high, or even worse, and you want to pretend like it’s saying “Well this guy should have just been stronger and worked harder,” to point out that these conditions are generally not fatal for a person without other issues.

No, they are not good conditions, and the state has an obligation to provide decent conditions to all those who are incarcerated, but it’s asinine to act as though healthy individuals routinely drop dead from spending several hours at 96°F or higher in high humidity environments in absence of some aggravating condition.

Djtecha ,

Shit I didn’t realize you’re a medical doctor or have a degree researching heat effects on humans!?

FireTower ,
@FireTower@lemmy.world avatar

It’s 4 times larger than LA.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks. That’s what I thought.

Wilzax ,

It’s closer to 2-3 times larger, depending how you count

Rhode Island is 1545 sq mi, 1034 of which are land.

Los Angeles (the city, not the county) is 501.55 sq mi, 469.49 of which are land.

So by total area, Rhode Island is 3.08 times the size of Los Angeles.

Counting only land, Rhode Island is only 2.20 times the size of Los Angeles.

AbidanYre ,

Telodzrum ,

Give it a few years, the system created too many and now we’re seeing a correction to the proper number of positions. As the unemployed retrain to needed skill sets the job market will return to a healthy level.

MagicShel ,

I mean… I’ll check with my banks to see if they’re cool with waiting, but I’m thinking no. Four months and I’ve gotten… 2 or 3 second interviews.

Telodzrum ,

It’s going to be hard for individuals. Look at the skilled trades, the world needs more electricians and plumbers and they make very good money. HVAC techs are in high demand basically everywhere.

MagicShel ,

I remember when I was young and autoworkers and coal miners were losing jobs. And yeah, I thought they could just retrain. It was fucking naive, and if they’d heard me they would’ve been rightfully offended.

I’m done here. I feel like saying anything more would just be self-pity. I’m damn good at what I do, just maybe not so great at interviews. Too fucking honest. Sooner or later I’ll find the right person to interview with. Thanks for the chat.

AlexanderESmith ,

It’s crazy that people think JD Vance had sex with a couch. There’s no evidence JD Vance had sex with a couch. It’s liberals that are perpetuating the idea that JD Vance had sex with a couch. JD Vance has specifically denied that he has had bare skin contact with a couch within a 5 year period. It’s ludicrous that JD Vance was banned from a Cleveland area IKEA after having intercourse with a KIVIK Sofa Chaise.

I’ll repeat, there is no evidence to believe JD Vance had sex with a couch. JD Vance is not a couchfucker.

PenisDuckCuck9001 , in Chicken wings advertised as 'boneless' can have bones, Ohio Supreme Court decides

So boneless wings can have bones… But do boned wings still have to have bones? I am a boneless wing enjoyer and I hate bone wings. Why waste all that effort eating around the bones when you can just not?

TheLowestStone ,
@TheLowestStone@lemmy.world avatar

Boneless “wings” aren’t actually wings. They are cubes of white meat.

PenisDuckCuck9001 , (edited )

Don’t care, it’s still the superior chicken nugget form factor because it’s delicious and less tedious to deal with. I doubt boned chicken wings are 100% pure shenanigan-free meat anyway. Tbf, even if someone shows me reputable scientific sources saying boned wing meat is a zillion times more healthy or something, boneless chicken is far too good to give up.

TheLowestStone ,
@TheLowestStone@lemmy.world avatar

I wasn’t specifying which I think is better because that’s irrelevant. You asked why anyone would want one over the other. I’m just pointing out that it is because despite both being varieties of fried chicken, they are actually completely different things.

If you care about my opinion, I’d rather have boneless most of the time but I enjoy both.
