This doesn’t invalidate my earlier statement that citizens are still subject to city ordinances.

There are around 20,000 cities and municipalities in the United States, most of them have public-nudity/indecent-exposure laws.

You successfully made the point that the legality of city ordinances can be challenged in higher courts (and even sometimes overturned) but the reality is that most people have neither the funding nor the time nor the expertise to take that up…which means ultimately you’re still subject to a city/municipality ordinances as well as state and federal.

In 2017, Tagami v City of Chicago, the US Court of appeals for 7th Circuit ruled 2-1 that the city’s public nudity ordinance did not violate the complainant’s rights and upheld the lower court decisions (which meant that City of Chicago’s ordinance remained intact and validated as enforceable by the city).

At the end of the day, yes you do have to be cognizant of the ordinances/codes of the city in question and cannot rely on State/Federal law alone.

You are mistaken. City ordinances absolutely comes into play here. In the US, you are subject to federal law, any additional state laws, any additional county laws, and then any additional city municipal-codes/ordinances.

Here’s the Seattle city ordinance that applies:

Seattle Municipal Code, Chapter 12A.10.130 Indecent Exposure, Paragraph A.

A person is guilty of indecent exposure if he or she intentionally makes any open and obscene exposure of his or her person or the person of another knowing that such conduct is likely to cause reasonable affront or alarm.

Well, I already named the jurisdiction: Seattle, Washington, USA.

The date/time shouldn’t matter since the ordinances haven’t changed, but it was Aug 12, 2012 just in case anyone reading this just happened to be in Seattle at the time and saw us. It was spectated by quite a number of people due to the size of the production - we had lights, a make-up/hair stylist, my assistant, the model, plus security.

It depends entirely on the jurisdiction. Take the city of Seattle, for example (I know this because I planned an executed a nude photo shoot in public view inside the city limits and sought legal council ahead of time to ensure I wan’t risking being charged with any crimes). The general rule for Seattle hinges on whether the activity is intended to tittilate or sexually arouse observers - and if that is obviously not the intent, then even full nudity is not illegal. Many other large cities have very similar ordinances.

The smaller the town, and the more conservative the region, the stricter and less flexible the ordinances. There are beaches in South Carolina, for example, where they even regulate the minimum amount of coverage for bikinis and beachware.

I had to quit using jerboa weeks ago (too unstable) and switched to something different. Glad you found it. The public modlog is awesome. It’s one of the significant and intentional differences from reddit (which does not expose moderation activity to users). Having the modlog be public forces transparency and accountability, which is refreshing.

If your chosen mobile app doesn’t offer the feature, then you can’t. Every app that does offer the feature does it differently, so it’s impossible for me to give you a single guidance that works on every mobile app.

I assume you do have access to a web browser on mobile though, so open your web browser, navigate to the instance hosting the community and/or your own home instance, and then depending on the layout used by your device the modlog will be a clickable link in the sidebar to the right, or will appear as a link near the bottom of the page after scrolling to the bottom.

First, always start by reading the public modlog. Mod logs are public.

Next: how about an example? I’m not seeing what you describe, so I’d really appreciate a reference (link) to whatever it is you are describing.

Yes, and even more chance of that happening today than 5 years ago. Reason: because of the modern day prevalence of the ‘fake reply’ SPAM and Phishing emails. Spammers and phishers are now drafting fresh messages mocked up to look like replies in existing email threads…older spam detection used to let these types of messages slip through because they thought they must be legitimate replies, and so naturally spammers started exploiting that to slip past detection. Modern detection no longer gives apparant replies a free pass.

Even ignoring the humanity aspect of it: the simple notion of focusing on rehabilitation rather than profit. That should be the goal of all incarceration.

Check the modlog.

The only recent removed post from this community related to the UAP hearings was an hour ago and the modlog shows exactly what was removed and why it was removed: because it failed to provide a link to the direct news article.

Unfortunately, after you eliminate all the collab services blatantly handing their data to government-backed built-in spy services, and all the services with off-shore backend servers, and all the services with poor track records for security, MS Teams is one of the only options left…as shitty as it is. Our customers insist on it, so we bend to their will.

USA here - I work for a fortune 500 technology industry company…We use MS Teams internally for most stuff, mostly use MS Teams for organized conf calls internally and with customers, and then use regular text messaging for one-off messages with each other and customers. We don’t use whatsapp at all for anything - I am pretty sure I don’t even have a whatsapp account.

None of my friends use whatsapp either. I communicate with most of my friends and family via text message, a few of my more paranoid friends will only chat via “Signal”, and then for bigger group chats we use Discord.

An investment firm executive will have zero clue about what the hell a spe

An investment firm executive makes it their business to know everything there is to know about negative press (or anything else that could jeopardize their management of an IPO), which this campaign is generating huge amounts of…

I keep half a dozen of my own chickens in my backyard…which means about half my daily protein intake comes from eggs (which is a great source, btw). And my chickens free-range in my backyard and largely take care of and feed themselves (supplemented with chicken feed but they get most of their daily intake from the bugs/plants in the yard). I still do eat meat almost daily, but the quantities are a lot less than what I was doing a decade ago, and beef is less than a once-a-week thing for me. Like you, I’m trying to get back in shape and watching macronutrients (like protein) very carefully and trying to hit certain daily minimum numbers.

This crucially important caveat they snuck in there:

“Prof Scarborough said: “Cherry-picking data on high-impact, plant-based food or low-impact meat can obscure the clear relationship between animal-based foods and the environment.”

…which is an interesting way of saying that lines get blurry depending on the type of meat diet people had and/or the quantity vs the type of plant-based diet people had.

Takeaway from the article shouldn’t be meat=bad and vegan=good - the takeaway should be that meat can be an environmentally responsible part of a reasonable diet if done right and that it’s also possible for vegan diets to be more environmentally irresponsible.

It’s really moot anyway, imo. Because of the vastness of the universe, the distances involved, and the timeframes involved for traveling those distances and that vastness, the rest of the universe could be teeming with alien life and we’ll likely never know it. Not in our lifetimes.

Mobile Device Management (MDM) tools have come a LONG way in the past decade and are now very good at thoroughly locking down both iOS and Android devices. Any enterprise wanting to ensure the absolute security of their mobile devices can do so with ease.

At least when it comes to Windows, Administrators have greater control over client machines and can put in restrictions.

This hasn’t been true for about 10 years…at least not in the enterprise. Administrators can enforce the same or greater control over client mobile devices using modern Mobile Device Management tools.

How would someone handling infosec in an organization control security on people’s personal phones?

If you take infosec seriously, you aren’t going to let your users have access to any corporate data or systems (and that includes email) using their personal devices. If you must, as a compromise, you’ll restrict that access only to users of iOS or Samsung devices supporting Knox work profile, and then you’ll enable the remote features necessary to monitor and/or wipe everything associated with the work profile in the event the device is lost/stolen or the employee leaves.

It would be an inconceivably-massive statistical anomaly if they didn’t. But I think a better question is will we ever make contact, and I think the answer to that is that it’s inconceivably improbable.

I’m currently car shopping for a recent model year sub-compact crossover SUV.

I was perfectly willing to evaluate vehicles from all manufacturers. Part of my search also includes looking up the available models on JD Power reliability ratings, consumer reports, and other testing agencies, and what I’m seeing is that the US-made vehicles in this category have reliability ratings that are significantly worse than the reliability ratings for the Japanese models.

Since I don’t have the money to go out and buy one of everything, I’m forced to have to accept the findings of other 3rd parties who do the evaluations.

So to answer your original question: Japanese cars actually are more reliable that US cars based on the conclusions of objective test results. There’s no “considered to be” about it. It’s not a matter of subjective feelings on the issue.

That apology is so full of shit I can smell it from here. I hope the prosecutor sees right through it.
