By the age of 25, he was accepted on his third attempt to become a student at the University of Sussex, where he gained a degree in geography, international development, and environmental studies, and later a doctorate in community development.

“Many of the participants expressed a strong commitment to equal treatment and fairness. They showed particular sensitivity to situations they perceived as unjust or discriminatory. This extended to issues specifically concerning men.”

No shit.

It comes after rising violence against women and girls (VAWG) in England and Wales. Data published by the National Police Chiefs’ Council in July 2024 found that about 3,000 VAWG offences a day were recorded by the police in 2022-23, an increase of 37% since 2018, with one in every 12 women a victim each year.

Separate expert studies have found some evidence that the language of the manosphere can escalate into physical violence. A submission to parliament by a group of UK academics cited cases in which incels had gone on to commit offline acts of violence, including Elliot Rodger in Isla Vista, California, in 2014 and Jake Davison in Plymouth, England, in 2021.

The Ofcom study involved 38 men, and more misogynistic men may have declined to take part. Some potential recruits refused to take part, considering the government-appointed regulator to be part of the “mainstream”. Perhaps the most impressionable group, boys under 16, were also not included.

Oh so this study is completely worthless then.

How would you describe the experience?

There must be a better news source reporting on this.

People with low reading level deserve the same attention to detail and veracity as the rest of us.

Who at Wikimedia is so out of touch that they thought that this was a good idea? They need to be replaced.

Right, but that dongle is connected to the CAN bus directly right? I was wondering what is accessible over just the smartphone integrations (CarPlay and Android Auto).

Thanks

What car sensors are normally accessible to CarPlay and Android Auto, and what are they used for?

My car doesn’t expose any car features or sensors to CarPlay at all. I just use the connected display for maps and playing audio.

Could you link the RPi projects that you’ve seen? Sounds interesting.

“The proof is in the pudding” as they say.

New investigations

We have today opened formal investigations into online discussion board 4chan and seven file-sharing services – Im.ge, Krakenfiles, Nippybox, Nippydrive, Nippyshare, Nippyspace and Yolobit – having not received responses to our statutory information requests, to which services are legally required to respond.

We have received complaints about the potential for illegal content and activity on 4chan, and possible sharing of child sexual abuse material on the file-sharing services.

It’s newsworthy when the sellers of squares are saying that nobody will ever need a triangle again, and the shape-sector of the stock market is hysterically pumping money into companies that make or use squares.

What are the pros/cons of piefed for someone who has only used lemmy?

The concept of a “psy-op” orchestrated to destabilize a population was a conspiracy theory 10 years ago.

Today we’re seeing the result of the most successful and widespread psy-op in human history.

They’re really burying the lede here. The closing paragraphs of the article:

The woman added that once, when she was 18, Leto “suddenly pulled his penis out and started masturbating”. She told the outlet: “Then he walked over, grabbed my hand, and put it on him. He leaned in and said: ‘I want you to spit on it.’”

Another woman, Allie Teilz, a Los Angeles-based DJ and music producer, last month on Instagram reposted a 2012 Facebook status in which she had said: “Youre [sic] not really in L.A. until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you backstage… In a kilt… And a snow hat,” Air Mail reported.

In her Instagram stories, which Air Mail reviewed, Teilz said: “I was assaulted and traumatized by this creep when I was 17 … He knew my age and didn’t care. What he did was predatory, terrifying and unacceptable.”
