the little kids voice singing ring around the rosy in the background is a very unsettling but well done touch

 

Was waiting for "When The Man Comes Around" to kick in by the end TBH lol

 

Sigh.

Minneapolis cop kneeled on neck of black man before he died | Daily Mail Online

 

This might be the first time I’ve liked anything about Joe Biden.

 

if only there was a way to vote that wasn't in person

 

The two Minneapolis officers who responded to the incident are on “relieved of duty status,” the police chief said. This is different from the typical administrative leave, but is still paid with no law enforcement duties.

'Being Black In America Should Not Be A Death Sentence': Officials Respond To George Floyd's Death

I wonder if they were really "fired" or just this "relieved of duty" status mentioned earlier today. If the latter, then fuck that, they shouldn't be paid

 

fired. Not suspended with pay

 

Who wore it better?

 

Trump is just jealous cause Biden actually looks cool in a mask.

Black masks automatically make you look cooler tbh

 

Yeah obviously there’s not a ton of info out there but I’m seeing the word fired pretty much everywhere, including direct quote from Frey.

 

Frey is a king

 

Major security flaw uncovered in Qatar's contact tracing app

The investigation by Amnesty Security Lab found Qatar’s EHTERAZ app requested a QR code from the central server by providing the national ID the user registered with. No additional authentication was required, so anyone could have requested a QR code for any EHTERAZ user.

The lack of authentication and the fact that Qatari national IDs follow a consistent format meant it was possible to automatically generate all possible combinations of national IDs and retrieve the sensitive data that EHTERAZ stores.

Before the authorities took action to address the vulnerability, sensitive personal information contained in the QR code included names in English and Arabic, location of confinement, as well as the name of medical facilities in which an individual diagnosed with COVID-19 is being treated. Last Friday, the authorities immediately took action to mitigate the exposure of data by stripping out names and location data. They subsequently released an update for the EHTERAZ app on Sunday which appears to add a new layer of authentication to prevent harvesting of data. While these changes appear to fix
the issue, Amnesty International has been unable to verify whether these changes meet sufficient security standards.

Yet another reason why that Washington Post article was fucking bullshit, they argued for this exact kinda data to be collected.

 

Switzerland is the first country to launch a large scale pilot for a COVID-19 contact tracing app, SwissCovid, using Apple's and Google's APIs

This will be an interesting litmus test for countries IMO.

 

My brother just took my dad to the ER with a 101 fever, chills, aches, and some vomiting.

 

hope everything goes well!

 

wishing for the best for your family
