Tomorrow is #DeleteWhatsAppDay! 🚮 Despite WhatsApp’s delay of its privacy policy update, many users have decided to take a stand for #privacy and leave the controversial chat service on the original deadline of February 8. ✊

All your statements are true 🤷♂️
In absolute terms *everyone* is better off in terms of income and health than say 100 years ago. This is a fact.
At the same time in many developed economies the gap between low-medium income and high-income groups has *also* widened, creating (fully justified) social tensions.
Peter Turchin presents a very good picture of this based on socio-economic data in the US:
I did and actually installed it just a week ago after reading about it here on Mastodon!

@kravietz @bonifartius have you heard of "cryptocam" its an app from fdroid that has a public key stored and encrypts every picture/video taken immediately.
then back at a safe place you have the private key to encrypt later after the chaos is over.

It looks like the law firm leading the claim for damages from BA about its website breach is going to spend £1 million on advertising for claimants.
And a court has said that it can’t recover for that. https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/law/1m-cost-of-advertising-for-claimants-is-not-recoverable-judge-rules/5107332.article
GapMinder has been demonstrating for years - based 100% on data - that everything, including the environment, is actually much better than it was decades ago:
Bad news sell better, plus activists believe that if you tell people good news they will suddenly stop worrying.
2) Przylatujesz do PL z testem i teoretycznie nie masz kwarantanny, ale jednak masz bo "system aktualizuje status dopiero o północy". I teoretycznie chociaż zgodnie z przepisami nie masz kwarantanny to zgodnie z danymi Sanepidu jednak masz i mogą Cię ukarać mandatem.
Niestety, jak to w Polsce, obie strony stwarzają problemy z niczego bo kultura prawna jest w głębokiej d..., niestety także po stronie organów publicznych.
Prawo można stosować w różny sposób. Dwa przykłady (z pierwszej ręki):
1) Lecisz do UK w czwartek o 18:00 i pracownicy lotniska odmawiają wpuszczenia bo masz test zrobiony w poniedziałek o 15:00 czyli rzekomo za wcześnie. Rzekomo, bo w UK liczą dni kalendarzowe a nie co do minuty, więc po pierwsze nie mają racji a po drugie nawet gdyby mieli to 3 h nic nie zmienia z punktu widzenia bezpieczeństwa.

@feld I can highly recommend using a second, offline password manager of 2FA backup codes (as an alternative to writing them down on a piece of paper) as well as using an app like AndOTP, which works wonderful and provides secure backup functionality.
Some hints about that: https://shivering-isles.com/Why-I-use-multiple-password-managers

Comes out, in August 2020 German 🇩🇪 government - bypassing Bundestag and public opinion - offered a massive fossil gas deal to US 🇺🇸 administration - a promise to spend 1 billion USD on LNG imports infrastructure for "unhindered construction and operation" of NordStream2. So for the right to import more fossil gas, they offered the right to import even more fossil gas - and call it "decarbonisation" 🍀
> it's better to present a decoy
That's a great feature, and it has been suggested in the original ticket, but way more complex to implement than a simple "panic PIN" wipe.
> the best thing would be to not store anything
If you are on a demonstration against authoritarian regime and make photos of police abuse, it's hard not to store photos or videos if the very point of you being there is to witness them.

Man to pay £25,000 damages over negative TrustPilot review
And, in what I guess is a manifestation of the Streisand Effect, now numerous people are leaving 1 star reviews on the firm’s TrustPilot page, turning it into a comments page.

Niebezpiecznik: "Telewizja TVP Info przegrała w sądzie i musiala opublikować przeprosiny na stronie głównej. Wejdźcie i zobaczcie jak zupełnie przypadkiem strona się Wam przesuwa tak, żeby przeprosin całych nie dojrzeć.
Kod strony pokazuje jak bardzo “przypadkowe” jest to przesunięcie."
Ja pieprzę...

Depends on jurisdiction. Do not assume all the world is like US or EU. The ticket describes a specific use cases in specific countries, where people are not legally protected from self-incrimination and are literally beaten to reveal the password, which results in further incrimination of themselves and other people.
