You can read https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/issues/1700#issuecomment-645466148 for the decision to switch to Jawg. TL;DR: It was just the best: most up-to-date and lightweight.

I have a quote above. As SF said, agents who do that would be violating court rulings.

held that it is unconstitutional for US border officials to subject visitors’ devices to forensic searches without individualized suspicion of criminal wrongdoing

It’s not like the Bill of Rights doesn’t apply to people with just visas either.

thank goodness he took them out of congress into the gop

A 2-1 circuit split means that the 2 currently prevails, thus making border searching of electronics illegal unless you’re within the 11th’s jurisdiction (Florida, Georgia, Alabama, while the guy was arrested traveling to a Texas conference), no?

In 2014, the US Supreme Court issued its landmark ruling in Riley v. California, which held that law enforcement officials violated the Fourth Amendment when they searched an arrestee’s cellphone without a warrant. The court explained, “Modern cell phones are not just another technological convenience. With all they contain and all they may reveal, they hold for many Americans ‘the privacies of life.’ The fact that technology now allows an individual to carry such information in his hand does not make the information any less worthy of the protection for which the Founders fought.”[15]

In 2013, before Riley was decided, the Ninth Circuit court of appeals held that reasonable suspicion is required to subject a computer seized at the border to forensic examination. […] In May of 2018, in U.S. v. Kolsuz, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals has held that it is unconstitutional for US border officials to subject visitors’ devices to forensic searches without individualized suspicion of criminal wrongdoing.[22] Just five days later, in U.S. v. Touset, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals split with the Fourth and Ninth Circuits, ruling that the Fourth Amendment does not require suspicion for forensic searches of electronic devices at the border.[23] The existence of a circuit split is one of the factors that the Supreme Court of the United States considers when deciding whether to grant review of a case.[24]

That’s forced. Since when was it a thing?

For personal reasons, I no longer feel safe working on Linux GPU drivers or the Linux graphics ecosystem. I’ve paused work on Apple GPU drivers indefinitely.

If you think you know what happened or the context, you probably don’t. Please don’t make assumptions. Thank you.

I’m safe physically, but I’ll be taking some time off in general to focus on my health.

the stinkyboard is 4 foot pedals tho?

You mean the Dorsey-endorsed crypto platform that has spam waves conducted against Bluesky and ActivityPub?

NYT publishes a ton of opinion pieces, especially since back then not everybody could own a press. They just published whatever opinion pieces that fit the page and they found moderately interesting. It could’ve just been a slow month. Plus the writer was chief of the Washington Bureau.

one side already controls the electricity, water EVERYTHING of the other

They cut that off a long time ago, so not anymore. They’re just willfully letting the Gazan ruling class stockpile and hold the Gazans hostage instead of actually helping Gazan lives and self-determination.

tbf, they did put “LEADER A REACTIONARY Is Anti Red and Anti-Semitic” and “Blackjacks Silence Opposition”, but at the same time “But several reliable, well-informed sources confirmed the idca that Hitler’s unti-Semitism was not so genuine or violent as it sounded, and that he was merely using anti-Semfitie propaganda as a bait to catch mesges of followers and keep them aroused, enthusiastic and in line for the time when his orgzanlzation {s porfected and sufficiently powerful to be emiployed effectively for political pur- poses,”

Taiwan isn’t the only Taiwanese land

It quotes analysts.

Exactly, like Tor. Anonymizing your connection prevents connecting the downloaded locations to anyone identifiable in particular.

That’s just slightly more precise than IP geolocation. As long as you use a cellphone with internet, your “approximate” location is out there somewhere unless you use Tor or something.

TL:DR: Jawg.io to render the map. Takes no information from you.

Finally, Linux is popular enough to get targeted by malware!
