#safety
I spent way too much on silly reflective stickers for my motorcycle helmet and bike, but the thing I'm most excited about are the multicolored pigtails that I'll suction to the helmet.
Visibility is safety, so I'm going to be LOUD on my bike!
People will know it's me when they see! 🏍️

Hello all
since there is a very small, but greater than zero probability that this post of mine may save some baby, some day...
thanks in advance for reading and sharing this rant against stupid baby car seat alarms as much as you see fit:
https://mfioretti.substack.com/p/why-do-certain-baby-seat-alarms-exist
I want to get an electric car soon, so yesterday I was looking at the new Volvo EX30 online. I was surprised to see that they've gone for the large, centred touch screen display for everything.
My car has a decent display, but I have a regular instrument panel behind the wheel and a HUD for the essentials. I think of screens as a safety hazard, and my HUD to be a significant improvement to traditional instrument panels.
Why are (some) cars moving in the opposite direction now?
More than 100 million Americans are now under unhealthy air quality advisory
due to out of control #wildfires.
Mask up if you need to be outdoors
and please remember to keep your four legged family members safe.
Cats and small dog breeds should remain indoors with windows, doors shut. Pugs, small bull dogs, and similar breeds usually do okay in diapers and/or using disposable pads.
Larger dogs should only be allowed out long enough to relieve themselves.
The #wildfires in BC and northern Ontario have been causing a lot of smoke in the air here in southern #Ontario.
Remember to exercize caution when going outside in the haze -- this smoke contains a lot of harmful particulates. Luckily many of us still have #masks around for some reason :)

"With so many high profile and violent crimes in Toronto in the past year, public safety has become an important issue in the mayoral byelection. Many feel like the city is less safe, but how does that align with the actual numbers and data? Crime isn’t equal across the city but to discuss how best to deal with it, we should start with what is actually happening to decide the best ways to combat it."

Across the world, criminal sentences for same-sex acts, for certain forms of sexual orientation and minority gender expression can range from fines or several months in prison to life in jail, from whipping to the death penalty. In some countries, laws are vague and open to interpretation. In others, it's the exact opposite. In Russia, for example, where same-sex acts have been legal since 1993, the government actively targets LGBTQ people and communities through discriminatory propaganda and fines for not having "traditional values."

Denying humanness to others
has a long history...
Recent research from #Australia has found that many people consider cyclists to be less than fully #human.
"We found images of #cyclists wearing #helmets or #safety vests to have a higher probability of being selected as less human compared to images of cyclists wearing no safety equipment. The results have implications for research on cyclists."
"Dehumanisation has been found to be predictive of hostile and aggressive behaviour, our finding highlights a potential conflict around the perception and utility of safety gear such as high visibility vests; although designed for safety, they may inadvertently increase levels of hostility and #aggression toward this group of vulnerable road users."
"Research indicates that low status groups are dehumanised – viewed as less civilised and evolved than groups afforded a higher #status."
I often wonder if the SUVs with black tinted windows contain any humans?

Mastodon is built on #inclusion and #safety. It is painful and unacceptable to everyone here who are committed these principles that #POC have experienced any disrespect or abuse. You are welcome and valued here.
I am re-posting this from @CherylRofer 's blog:
"Software Safety"¹ by Cheryl Rofer
If you supervise people moving quantities of soil and debris with big
machines, or people doing things with plutonium in glove boxes, questions of
safety quickly become important.
Software developers have been much less aware of safety issues. What can go
wrong besides lacking an ergonomic chair?
Social media sites and “AI” development are beginning to highlight safety in
software. I’d like to throw out a simple principle that the software people
might like to think about.
There are three levels of safety practices:
1. Engineered safety. This is safety built into a machine. Belt guards to prevent finger amputations. Those annoying backup beeps that tell you a large machine may be headed your way.
2. Administrative safety. The regulations that Supreme Court is tearing down. Posted limits on how much plutonium may be in a glove box.
3. Individual awareness. Why you have to take that training. Do not do stupid stuff, with the stupid stuff spelled out.
Historically, software safety has been predominantly at the third level.
Choose a password; the specifications imposed on you are administrative
safety, imposed after we found out that “password” and “1234” were faves.
Don’t share various sorts of personal data.
Structures of apps like Facebook have been designed in opposition to safety
precepts at the first level, being intended to harvest people’s personal data
and manipulate it so as to manipulate them.
The software industry has consistently fought safety at level 2, in the form
of regulation.
If Los Alamos’s plutonium facility were run the way the software industry is,
it would long ago have had a major criticality incident that would have burned
it and half of Los Alamos to the ground, killing scores of people. They’ve
made their mistakes, but as an institution, they haven’t actively tried to
undermine basic safety standards.

@me @BleepingComputer yes and I'm still pissed at @mozilla for refusing to actually listen to people like us and actually ask: "Why do you use #Firefox & #Thunderbird and not #Chrome & #Geary?"
Because they'd get to hear #based things like "#privacy" and "#customization" as well as "no shitty #ads" instead.
So instead of plastering shitty ads around, #Mozilla should maybe include more #safety features, harden it more and also add #uBlockOrigin into it.
This is the launch of the very first open-source syllabus on trust & safety at the @StanfordCyber: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jMcv_0MeF4 .
It's the output of 8 months of work by the Trust & Safety Teaching Consortium - a loosely-organized coalition of academic, industry and non-profit experts addressing topics from trust & safety regulation to metrics & measurement in trust & safety, policy issues such as terrorism, CSAM and platform abuse as well as the role of identity.
Watch 60 minutes of 14 professionals introducing 13 modules, led by @shelbygrossman and @alex. It was genuinely inspiring to see what each and every group has created.
You can find our teaching materials on Stanford IO's GitHub: https://github.com/stanfordio/TeachingTrustSafety
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and comments, particularly on the module "Authentication, Identity, and Platform Manipulation".

Reinventing the Sequester - The American Prospect
Nondefense discretionary spending, which is only 13 percent of the overall budget, is forced to shoulder the entire burden of the cuts, which will by definition be savage.
Paul Krugman has famously called the federal government “a giant insurance company with an army.” Neither of those things—that is, the Pentagon plus Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security—are subject to these cuts.
Everything else is small by comparison, but critical for #education, #housing, #food #safety, the #environment, #financial #regulation, and on and on

#Handelsblatt, a prominent #German business publication, has obtained a considerable amount of internal Tesla files that **may** point to #PublicSafety and vehicle #safety concerns that were possibly hidden by Tesla.
Apparently, Handelsblatt is releasing reports on these files in stages.
I will be watching this space... probably to add comments after more is publicly released.

If we could go back in time for a re-do, what percentage of the things you posted on social media sites would you still post this hypothetical second time around?
If your org needs privacy/safety/physical security & anti-surveillance training, please lmk. I partner with both biz and non-profits, journalists, activist groups, abortion aid clinics/workers, dv orgs. Protecting your digital/personal privacy and safety is so important.
"I'm not going to discuss this with you unencrypted," needs to become a normal part of our modern vocabulary.
The number of people for whom #encryption and #privacy will be a matter of life or death is increasing and this trend will only continue to intensify.
For the sake of your #safety and that of your loved ones, please prepare now.
This needs to be a pervasive conversation people keep hearing from every direction so they realise this is real and not some paranoid nerds just being weird.
Start refusing to discuss sensitive topics through insecure means. Don't allow people to endanger themselves.
“Texas is just a really terrible place for construction workers to do their job."
Antelmo Ramirez was one of more than 1,300 construction workers to die in #Texas between 2011 and 2021, more than California and Pennsylvania combined, reports @gusbova in this week's top story:

@atomicpoet@calckey.social I think whatever we become we'll really only have 'succeeded' if #Calckey leads the way with #FediverseSafety ahead of features and scale.
The Calckey I see would
- have a diverse team of folks that has the time to listen to the safety discourses, and the lived experience to know why safety matters, and informs their #development decisions.
- make importing #blocklists or integrating third party #moderation tools easypeasy, so no user finds themselves on an new server that's open to dogpiled by the worst elements of the #Fediverse.
- have robust #accessibility features that are as important to promote as #quoteposts and #MFM.
- have granular user controls for #safety - opt-in & opt-out; and features - like turning down/off MFM when it's overwhelming without a user needing to resort to CSS scripts.
- not really care to be a birdsite or #Mastodon alternative. Let's work to be a better secret third thing, or fourth, or fifth thing.
If we really have to duplicate the big influencer account thing, I'd like to see more non-White, autistic, disabled, queers, and women voices. They're here, but they're often forced to be critics of a newer hegemony. Let's be listening for how can Calckey become the main service of choice for Black, POC and Indigenous women to join, spin up servers, become developers, and have prominent voices on. The rest of the good stuff will follow that.
I think we can do that, but only if we prioritise, and promote minority voices, and do the structural work to support them coming to the service.

:pixelfed: Admins: Did you know you can import and export instance blocklists?
Admin Dashboard -> Instances
One more thing, when importing, you can curate which instances you want to block/unlist/apply cw or import them all!
We applaud @Mastodon for following our lead, safety isn't a feature, it's an expectation. #pixelfed #safety
Considering this set of principles by which #Anthropic tries to train its #AI, I found that it does not always meet those principles.
Anthropic, an AI startup founded by former OpenAI staff and that raised $1.3B, including $300M from #Google, details its “constitutional AI” for safer #chatbots.

Dear USA: this is what normal global citizens do after two mass shootings in the span of 48hrs.

You may create space for new ideas (even wild ones):
Consider whether you only want ideas that have been thoroughly tested, or whether you’re willing to accept highly creative, out-of-the-box ideas that are not yet well-formulated. It’s fine to ask the tough questions; but do so while demonstrating support.
"What we do
Rainbow Railroad is a global not-for-profit organization that helps LGTBQI+ people facing persecution based on their sexual orientation, gender identity and sex characteristics. In a time when there are more displaced people than ever before, LGBTQI+ people are uniquely vulnerable due to systemic, state-enabled homophobia and transphobia. These factors either displace them in their own country or prevent them from escaping harm.
As a result of Rainbow Railroad, more LGBTQI+ individuals will be able to access lives free from persecution.
Since our founding, we’ve helped over 7,621 LGBTQI+ individuals find safety through emergency relocation and other forms of assistance. Our story has received international media attention, including a feature on CBS 60 Minutes. "
More from today's top story: Many school districts violate #Texas’ school #safety law, @josephinelee found. Among many others, #Uvalde Consolidated ISD expelled 33 students and did not conduct required threat assessments or provide mental health interventions for any of those students. https://www.texasobserver.org/students-pay-as-texas-school-districts-violate-threat-assessment-law/

Drivers: Please don't call me while you're driving. Please don't pick up while you're driving. Please don't text me while you're driving.
Please do not tell me it's ok because x, y, or z. I have personally seen countless counter-examples for every single excuse I've heard.
It is not ok.
You are operating deadly machinery. Please don't make me complicit in your distracted driving.
Thanks!

Blocked Railroad Crossings Crisis Draws Local and National Calls for Action
==
After seeing images of kids crawling under trains, regulators ask companies to address blocked crossings, lawmakers demand consequences, residents clamor for solutions and Norfolk Southern’s CEO calls a mayor to work out a fix.
In this blog entry, you will explore several panic pendants, wearables for schools that can mean the difference between life and harm and promote better #school #safety.

Believe women. Believe Black folks. Believe Jews. Believe LGBTQ+ folks. Believe anyone who tells you they’re being attacked. As the adage goes, “privilege is learning about racism instead of experiencing it.” And this is true for all forms of targeted oppression, hatred, and violence.
I’m using free Wi-Fi (to bank and make purchases). Is that ok? 🤔
