One thing I would add is that the Russian people do want change but any attempt at changing the leadership is met with poisoning and/or long prison sentences. I would highly recommend reading about Alexei Navalny or watching the fascinating documentary
You get a phone call from someone claiming to be from 23andme but they’re not…
Hi it’s Jim from 23andme.
Just going through security with you. You did a test with us on the 5th Dec, your mother is X and your father is Y.
Ok that confirms who I am.
So as I said it’s Jim and in your results we see you have a genetic condition which means you will have early onset dementia.
We offer a preventative treatment. Want to enrol in the trial? It’s $200.
Not the best example I admit but an example of how that data could be misused and you’ve just paid “Jim” $200
The third link is to an Amnesty article from 2015
Why?
I would argue this is still genocide, just not at a rapid rate:
2.2 million people are unable to access a consistent supply of food!
Did your friend write The Big Beat Manifesto?
For some reason you can’t have a reasonable discussion in this thread. I agree with everything you’ve said above.
Come on. There’s quite a difference between the police following the law, and people being lead to their death.
If you disagree with the police following the law, what alternative would you suggest?
Some great answers above/below:
/s
The police are there to enforce the law. Are all police officers perfect, no. Is anyone perfect, no.
My point being, you should want the police to follow the law and enforce it. From the article, they were enforcing a law around the Public Order Act.
So doesn’t the problem really exist with those who make the law, not those who enforce it?
(Ok, I’ll get off my high horse now)
Nice to hear a balanced view - thank you!
Wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to reply! And thanks for offering to answer more questions.
I’m working with two other people doing research, so I’ll pass this on to them and let you know what they think.
Massive thanks again!

No Stupid Questions… I’ll update the post :)
Hello!
What kind of researcher posts a five-question-questionnaire on Lemmy?
I’m not a professional researcher or anything, just someone looking to do research in this area. I thought there might be people on Lemmy who wanted to share their story or experiences.
Who are you and who employs you? What is your agenda?
I am cman6. I’m not comfortable disclosing person information about my employer. I stated my agenda… “The research project we are working on is looking into all aspects of food banks from someone deciding to donate, to storing the donations, to people receiving them, and seeing if there is some way to improve what is being donated and/or the quantities.”
Is this an undergraduate thesis?
Nope
Where else did you post your questionnaire? Are you accounting for selection bias?
This is the only place I’ve posted it so far. I’m not concerned about selection bias to be honest, although I am aware of it. I’m just looking for anecdotal information.
Why do you not use a questionnaire service like survey monkey?
I just thought this would be faster. Plus I wanted to keep things informal.
These are all yes/no questions and no questions regarding background, sex, age, income, etc. What kind of conclusions do you think you will be able to draw from that?
Well I don’t have any experience going to a food bank so I was hoping to gather a general idea of what that might be like.
Cheers!
In case anyone wondered how to potentially get around this…
ssh -N -D 8008 your-server-iplocalhost:8008 (in Chromium/Firefox you can search for this in Settings)The 3.1 started to become incredibly slow once I installed at the latest updates. If it’s factory reset then it runs fine. The worst offender on that phone was turning the Wifi on and off. Turning it on (after all updates are installed) causes the phone to freeze for 10-20 seconds.
On the 5.1 the keyboard stops responding to every other key press at times. That’s been my only gripe so far to be honest but it’s incredibly frustrating.
I’ve had a Nokia 3.1 and 5.1 and I would advise everyone to steer clear! I won’t be buying a Nokia phone again
I know it’s not 100% the same, but there’s a website that gives you access to insecure webcams and has been for ages!
