The whole thread is appalling but TL;DR - Scottish police extracted nudes from a rape victim's phone and gave them to the accused rapist.

Assuming you're signed in with a Google account you might want to check third party apps & services in your account settings, and maybe even a password change. That's very suss indeed.

There's a full address there if anyone wanted to write to them. There's even a hard to make out phone number for... customer service?

Not saying that's the answer but it's a possibility.

If you scroll over a video that does that automatic preview play, even if you don't click on it, it turns up in your watch history.

ye all know he's not talking about pivoting to renewables here, right? what I guarantee is on his mind is the massive LNG terminal that he and his government colleagues want to build in the Shannon estuary, bypassing most of our existing planning controls

We won’t get fooled again.

My neighbor told me Iranian mines keep eating his ships so I asked how many ships he has and he said he just goes to the port and gets a new ship afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding ships to mines and then his daughter started crying.

If what the President said was obviously wrong, why is the cabinet minister remaining anonymous? Why don't they proudly step up and defend the indefensible? Because Catherine Connolly isn't wrong. She's speaking the truth and cowards are afraid we'll piss off the liars.

To be left dead by attacks is the natural state of the Middle Easterner, while in the Western culture (also Israel somehow) being killed is a major taboo.

Like that that's not even a consideration because jerbsz? All these US firms just going to pack up overnight because we don't turn up one year to shake the nonce's dick? Like he'd even fucking notice? MM is the most lickspittle politician in Irish history at this stage.

Honestly insulting at this point that the government continue to insist this and similar events have nothing to do with their new legislation

This afternoon the AI Committee was told An Garda SΓ­ochΓ‘na "is transitioning from a traditional style of police service to a data-led, digitally-enabled organisation."

Part of that transition is presumably a bill before the Oireachtas today - to give gardai the power to use "biometric analysis" πŸ‘‡

My iPhone updated overnight. No warning. This morning I woke up locked out by a mandatory β€œAge Verification” screen. For me, as an autistic person, my morning routine isn’t just a preference, it’s my safety net. It keeps everything stable. Today, Apple ripped that safety net away at 7AM. 1/6

The level of distrust is highlighted in a chapter called Standing Up for Ireland, where Varadkar outlines his suspicions about Britain and the EU as negotiations progressed. He says the British delegation installed a
"huge, green tent-like object" in its negotiation room where May could "make calls without being heard"
. He
referred to the tent in conversation with May saying:
"That's an interesting piece of equipment," before adding,
, "we don't bother with any of that".
According to Varadkar, May responded with a wry smile:
"Oh, we know you don't."
He conceded that, while the British government had the ability to monitor their communications, the Irish contingent had "no way to stop it and a limited capacity to even detect it"
. The Irish position was simply to repeat
any conversations they had in private during public engagements. "This way, the British didn't need to monitor our calls to find out what we were really thinking, as we just said it in public," Varadkar said.

It explains so much about the Irish state’s attitude to privacy and technology if it did not even attempt to secure its own communications. I have no trouble believing that sensitive calls about Brexit were held in the clear on public networks. archive.is/3H4gK

This Greystone Inn comic from 2017 is ~easily~ one of the most popular strips I ever wrote, and I STILL hear from graphic designers who have a copy posted in their office/workspace.
