I will seriously have to rethink any moves to Europe. This is atrocious! Originally shared by Electronic Frontier Foundation Today Members of the European Parliament adopted three terrible proposals in the new Copyright Directive and rejected every good one, setting the stage for mass, automated surveillance and arbitrary censorship of the Internet. #Article13: the Copyright Filters. All but the smallest platforms will have to defensively adopt copyright filters that examine everything you post and censor anything judged to be a copyright infringement. #Article11: Linking to the news using more than one word from the article is prohibited unless you're using a service that bought a license from the news site you want to link to. Article 12a: No posting your own photos or videos of sports matches. You are the audience, your job is to sit where you're told, passively watch the game and go home. As we've seen with Net Neutrality in the USA, the movement to protect the free and...

#DonaldTrump lies. Often. And people have noticed. Now, if only we can keep him to one term, make him a lame duck in the meantime and vote some sense back into the White House. Originally shared by Andy Keeves About 54 percent of voters #trust the #media compared with 30 percent for the #president, a new low for him in the #poll. #Trump #GOP #News #FakeNewsMedia #maga #DrainingTheSwamp http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/406221-poll-more-voters-trust-media-than-trump

Because, #DonaldTrump doesn't like anyone who isn't Donald Trump. Originally shared by Lee Grupsmith-Pedersen Because of course he would. http://www.joemygod.com/2018/09/12/trump-tried-to-veto-braille-in-trump-tower-elevators/

Our community has been spotlighted. Hopefully that means more qualified candidates wanting in. Originally shared by Madeleine DeRome Community Spotlight: Motorcycle Riders This community has one focus, plain and simple: it’s for people who love to ride motorcycles. While this may seem simple, it takes a lot of work to keep a community on track. In Motorcycle Riders, this seems to be thanks to the moderators’ commitment to open communication. Jason ON and his mods have made sure to establish the community guidelines and display any relevant information to potential members. From the About section, “This group is a community of people with a like-minded interest. And like all Communities in order to maintain cohesion we must communicate.” Even in communities that look pretty straightforward, there is a lot of work behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly. What do you behind the scenes as a mod that your members may not see?

Let that sink in for a moment. More nuclear weapons, less regulatory oversight. What could go wrong? Originally shared by Chris Kim A More nukes, less safety. What could possibly go wrong? As Trump calls for new bomb production, the administration cuts safety board access to nuclear facilities. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/white-house-hobbles-nuclear-weapons-safety-agency/

Microsoft is marketing their Edge Brower as the "safer, faster" alternative to Chrome or Firefox and all I can say is: not in my experience. In fact, I tried using Edge for about a year and found more scam, phishing and hostage-taking sites using Microsoft's browser than I ever did with Firefox or Chrome. I'll stick with those two for now and maybe abandon Windows when my computer needs an ungrade. https://www.theverge.com/2018/9/12/17850146/microsoft-windows-10-chrome-firefox-warning

About week ago I started noticing this. I'd sign out of Gmail and suddenly have a warning that my account would no longer sync. My thoughts were this was a tactic by Google to convince people to never log out of Chrome allowing the internet giant to gather even more information about us as it makes no other sense. But, for now, there is a fix: Open a new Chrome browser Window, then type or copy and paste the following address into the address bar: *chrome://flags/#account-consistency* This will open a new page containing an item list with drop-down menus next to each. The page should have automatically jumped you down about halfway to the desired item, “ Identity consistency between browser and cookie jar ,” and the menu box next to it should read, “ default .” https://lifehacker.com/how-to-turn-off-the-auto-sign-out-link-in-gmail-and-chr-1828953840
