And that's a good thing. We're taking back journalism from corporate media.

The story exists when somebody looks into it. UnHeard, which is a YouTube channel with 500k followers, found out about this woman because of the viral social media posts, and interviewed her.

What other platform would you prefer to see it on?

Australia just used police to move "close contacts" into "internment camps". Any wrong move inside would get punished by a $5000 fine.

> Hayley Hodgson [...] was ordered to go to the facility after a friend of hers tested positive for the virus and she was identified as a “close contact” by the number plate on her scooter.

> spent 14 days at the Howard Springs mandatory Covid-19 quarantine facility

> "Police officers blocked my driveway. ’What’s going on, are you guys testing me for Covid? What’s happening?’ They said, ‘No, you’re getting taken away. And you have no choice. You’re going to Howard Springs. You either come with us now, and we’ll put you in the back of the divvy van. Or you can have a choice to get a Covid cab.’

> they were even threatening me that if I was to do this again, ‘We will extend your time in here.’”

> Ms Hodgson said she told police “I don’t consent to this”, and asked why she couldn’t “just self-isolate at home”. Police responded ‘We’ve just been told from higher up where to take you. And that’s all that there is,’”.

> She was told to pack her bags and that she would be released when she tested negative. During her two-week stay she was tested three times, and each time tested negative.

> The video includes footage filmed by Ms Hodgson during her stay as she argues with a police officer at the facility, who reprimands her for leaving her cabin without a mask and threatens her with a $5000 fine.

> “I’m gonna give you a warning, yeah?” he says to her as she sits on the balcony. “It’s an official warning that you have to stay on your balcony and obey the rules while you’re here.” When she argues with the officer that the rules don’t make sense, he replies that “it doesn’t have to make sense”. [...] “Highly infectious when all of us people are negative?” she asks. “So far. The risk is still very high,” he says.

> She said at one point when she was distressed and asking to be let out of her room to go for a walk or a run, facility staff instead offered her Valium to calm down.

> Ms Hodgson said as a result of her two-week stay she had lost her casual retail job. “They compensated me $1500 for the two weeks, and that was all,” she said. “Now I’m currently unemployed because of this situation”

"Very minimal" unless the solution to your current task is in that missing %6 of capability.

Their site is still broken, months later. Pinching to zoom in progressively covers the content on the page.

Kinda wild to think they haven't fixed it yet. On mobile you cannot zoom in to view their images.

Maybe the site is vibe coded and nobody at Qwen actually knows how to fix it..

Another astonishing UX fail was (still is) on Xiaomi's page[1] - where they try, and successfully fail, to showcase a video editor implemented by their model.

They embed a screen capture hosted on a Chinese hosting site BiliBili, too bad the video is 360p pixel soup.

To be able to change the resolution you are required to:

- know to use desktop view in the browser to make the resolution button show

- know Chinese to understand which button is "resolution" and that you need to login to switch resolution

- have and account with the video hoster or be willing to register

I was curious, but not that curious...

"Nobody wanted to be United States' vice president" is an extraordinary claim to me. So I'd expect extraordinary proof.

Sounds like the free are even more free due to less criminals roaming free. Guess the rest of the world should step their game up.

If the land of the free can't escape the all-seeing eye of Flock, us Europe folks are doomed.

According to who?

Never did. It was a while back, but in the great Chips War the Micron and Hynix fabs got nuked to atoms. So all memory was confiscated for the war effort.

But now that things are finally turning normal, everybody gets a daily token allowance for GeminiGPT 7.2 and you can even boost your ratio if you volunteer your bioenergy to the local GPT microdatacenter (cycling or run on the H-wheel for an hour gets x1.02 output tokens for the day).

In my country in the EU it's illegal to market homeopathic remedies if they contain active ingredients in quantities that could have an effect. Otherwise they become regular medicine with different marketing requirements.

Guilty as charged. I often perpetrate actually

I can talk about Italy because I've researched it.

The first step should be to show them the Privacy Authority press release[1] - "No to preservation of guest ID copies".

You should be prepared to be refused check-in if they're stubborn and feel like you "cause problems". The protection you have is that public service (hotel) is forbidden to refuse service by law[2][3], fine is €516 up to €3098. If it happens you should call police to verbalise and apply the fine. Refusal by police (Rifiuto di atti d'ufficio) is criminal offence and punishable with imprisonment 6mo - 2yr [4].

You should present ID to allow identification. The host must insert, by law at most 24hrs after check-in [5], client data into police portal, like name, DOB, nationality etc.

Everything else is extra and by GDPR you should be informed of any data processing, basis of processing, duration of processing, and your rights.

You can write Garante della Privacy to signal violations of GDPR if you feel it's warranted. I know they're happy to investigate and apply big fines to larger companies, not sure about how they handle smaller companies, like hotels.

To be able to push back you should know the law requirements for hotels in that jurisdiction, so they can't gaslighting you with fake "it's for police" reasons.

While visiting Italy I've had the hotel photocopy my ID. I've researched and the legal requirement for the hotel is to fill a form on the police website, nothing more. While doing the checkout I've pressed them on the reason for keeping the photocopy ("is it for identity theft? "), the duration they were going to keep the copy etc. Basic info they were bound to disclose because of GDPR _before_ the data processing, which of course never happened.

Turns out the local policemen asked verbally to make photocopies, just in case... The hotel is more afraid of the local police than of it's clients, so they just do it.

Since I was the only client who ever asked about it, and gaslighting me wasn't going to work ("everybody does it! what do you have to hide?"), they just gave me the copy to destroy.

Other places copy IDs because they're lazy and don't want to compile the required form on the spot. Not to mention ID photocopies floating around the reception desk in plain sight...

I wish people stopped using distracting animations below the text I'm trying to read and comprehend.

Don't know about right, but for a while it worked better than "regular" medicine. At least it wouldn't kill you, when the alternative was intensive bloodlettings and purgatives.

Can you expand on why Qwopus is not recommended and what "Nex/Orinth" brings to the table?

PSA: somebody put together a detailed table[1] comparing security and privacy features of most common Android-based OSes. Yes, GrapheneOS looks amazing but requires a Pixel phone, at least until the new Motorola devices come out.

Sounds like discrimination, no consumer's rights associations to take them to court?

I've come from the future to say Qwen 3.7 27B is just around the corner and slaps!

It's a work phone because it's not a personal phone.

During the TLS handshake, you send the domain name in clear text (Server Name Indication - SNI extension) so that the hoster can present the correct certificate for that domain.

Nothing prevents the ISP from collecting that.
