'This WIRED guide to safe protesting was originally written in 2020 during the nationwide outcry over police brutality, which overwhelmingly targets Black people like George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Tony McDade. We’ve now updated this guide to include advice specific to mass action, your rights and protections as a US citizen, protesting in or around government property, and laws around defacing property (like, say, a Tesla).'

#legal #WebScraping #EU #BestPractices

'At The Markup, some of our data journalists recently had questions about the legal risks involved in scraping websites hosted in the European Union. We conducted our own research to answer this question, and offer a summary of what we learned below. Our goal is to help other journalists, researchers, and advocates come up with a low-risk strategy for scraping in the EU.'

hackernoon.comA Guide on How to Legally Web Scrape EU Data | HackerNoonScraping has long existed in a legally gray area, so journalists and other researchers tend to approach it cautiously.

My god, I just realized one of the simplest opsec things you can do (something I've been doing for years and don't even think about anymore) is set your browsers to open links in private/secure instances AS A DEFAULT.

If it needs to be opened in a window that you want to keep open or bookmark, you can always manually copy and paste it.

It makes no sense to be using a secure shared tool like cryptpad, if you're just gonna open it where you're logged in as you.

Remember the #SocialEngineering motto:
If there are people, there are security holes.

MakeUseOf: Make Your Smartphone Photos More Dramatic With This Simple Trick. “Most smartphone shots are taken from eye level, but that’s exactly why they can feel dull. My favorite technique requires nothing more than crouching down and pointing up. It may sound simple, but this can have a dramatic impact on your photos.”

Ich hab mir jetzt nen #pixelfed Account gemacht (@fiaskogaul@pixelfed.de) weil ich den Funktionsunfang und das Userinterface für #Bilder besser finde und nutzen will.

Ich weiß aber noch nicht so richtig wie ich die beiden #fediverse Accounts #coexistieren lassen soll.

Ich will die Bilder und Videos, die ich über Pixelfed poste über meinen #Mastodon Account auf Freiburg.Social auch ausgeben.

Wie macht man das am Besten? Gibt es da eine #bestpractices?

Mein Plan war erst mal meine Pixelfed-Postings zu #Boosten. #Crossposting will ich eigentlich vermeiden.

Tschüss, #Autoland | ZEIT ONLINE (€)

Die deutsche #Autoindustrie zeigt Schwäche, während Verteilungskämpfe um den öffentlichen Raum toben. Der Forschungscluster #MCube, unter der Leitung der @tu_muenchen, ist ein führender Akteur in der deutschen Mobilitätsforschung. Er arbeitet mit über 70 Partnern zusammen, darunter #BMW, #SAP und die Stadt #München, um neue #Mobilitätskonzepte zu erproben und zu unterstützen, wie z. B. die autonome Beförderung im öffentlichen Verkehr und die Neuaufteilung des Straßenraums.

Das Foschungscluster hat einen Fünf-Punkte-Plan für die Zukunft der Mobilität vorgestellt. Es fordert einen Wandel Deutschlands zum Mobilitätsland, weg vom Fokus auf Autos. Der Plan schlägt eine ganzheitliche Betrachtung vor, unterstützt #ÖPNV und #Radverkehr sowie die Elektrifizierung von Autos. Die Forschenden von MCube kritisieren die #CDU, die den Schwerpunkt weiterhin auf das Auto legen, CO₂-#Flottengrenzwerte aufweichen und #Fahrverbote in Innenstädten oder die #Parkraumumwidmung verhindern will.

MCube unterstützt flexible Verkehrspolitiken auf kommunaler Ebene. Sie lehnen Kaufprämien für #Elektroautos ab und fordern stattdessen Investitionen in Infrastruktur und Technologie. Sie argumentierten, dass andere Länder einen radikaleren Ansatz verfolgen, indem sie dem Rad-, Fuß- und öffentlichen Verkehr in städtischen Gebieten Vorrang einräumen. Zu Fuß gehen und #Radfahren seien die kostengünstigsten, gesündesten und umweltfreundlichsten Mobilitätsoptionen. Die nächste #Bundesregierung sollte diesen Verkehrsträgern in einer nationalen Strategie Vorrang einräumen, die auch den Ausbau sicherer und attraktiver Wege beinhaltet.

Best practices in practice: Black, the Python code formatter curiousity.ca/2024/best-practi I’m starting a little mini-series about some of the “best practices” I’ve tried out in my real-life open source software development. These can be specific tools, checklists, workflows, whatever. Some of these have been great, some of them have been not so great, but I’ve learned a lot.
