Agreed on all of that. As I understand it, periods of better worker markets make for less of that nonsense people are willing endure. I’ve seen a recent trend of corporations turning up the BS because the job market has been tightening up and people are less willing to take risks.

Appreciate the reply. It is important to note that even those states require reasonable articulable suspicion of an actual crime and that the person is detained under such articulable suspicion. If you invoked your 4th and 5th amendment right even under those circumstances, they would have the burden to articulate in court the specific crime and why they believed you were involved in that crime. Stop and ID is a bit misleading as it still requires specific narrow suspicion that is tied to an actual crime and the person is detained under that context.

NextDNS is another option that’ll give you PiHole level control and customization. I will say PiHole is pretty easy to get up and running tho.

Example with the actual statute? Even Terry V Ohio doesn’t allow for identification. Just an external pat down if there is RAS. As shitty and unconstitutional as that ruling happens to be.

Is telling someone to “disperse” a lawful order? That’s news to me. Standing in public spaces is our legal right and can’t be deemed unlawful until we actually break the law. Then it’s a law enforcement issue as anything else. Otherwise the police could arbitrarily tell anyone to move with no reasonable articulable suspicion that any crime was afoot.

Don’t on tread me

Uh yeah we have very similar ratios in the US. It’s a well paying job with very little qualifications or education required. In fact, a typical applicant might be otherwise unemployable. And it let’s you violate the citizenry with literal legal immunity as well as the protection of your fellow, complicit Blue Line gang members.

That’s the MS business model in partnership with PC makers. It’s a juggernaut. They’ve operationalized it.

I’m sure it didn’t go well. If it was somehow framed in a sycophantic way where the police were led to believe it was their idea, I’m sure it would have gone better. Wait that might not be too difficult to do.

Might be about time for testers to start cr4pping their pants tho.

Bravo. Welcome to the world of greater control and flexibility.

I’ve seen some interesting thoughts on TDD with fail, pass, refactor assumptions. I’m curious if anyone here is writing functional code in order to then make a failing functional test pass i.e. BDD / ATDD. This follows similar logic without the refactor assumption. I’ve seen strong opinions on every side as far as this is concerned. On a team with Dev and QA competencies, I’ve heard a number of devs glad to get QA out of the bottleneck and put their knowledge to better use.

Point taken. Either police negligence or outright manufactured outrage. The police are either daft or corrupt in those respective scenarios. In both cases, wasting tax dollars to “investigate” and NPR looking pretty incompetent themselves in their reporting.

I’m having a decent experience with progressive web apps. Even posting now with a PWA for Lemmy. It’s given me a bit more control over the bloat and background processes that might be there unwitting to me. Or requiring me to investigate . I don’t enable background notifications or anything like that however. I also direct my DNS traffic thru PiHole but that’s another conversation.
