    I literally, unknowingly, watched this unfold with my dad recently. He got a text along the lines of "final notice of unpaid toll from [local toll road entity], pay by end of day to avoid late payment fees" with a link.

    He (on the side, while we were all doing something else) went in, entered his drivers license info, date of birth, and credit card number to "pay" the toll.

    About 30 second after setting his phone down he just goes "shit, that was a scam, wasn't it" and describes the text to us.

    A little bit too much trust, and a false deadline can go a long way.

    I think K9 is also moving to Material 3 (there's an identically versioned K9 Beta, I haven't tested it though).

    The only changes to my knowledge for Thunderbird is branding and colors.

    It looks like you're missing the "Manage shared info" section and "Personalized Shopping" link, which yields the above toggle for me (CA, US)...

    The question is, is it gone because your privacy laws make it impossible to even offer, or because your privacy laws don't require them to care about your opinion at all?

    They tried to damage it.

    You say that like they were somehow shocked to find plexiglass in front of these paintings, and somehow didn't see it or didn't have the time (casually perusing a museum) to pivot to a different painting.

    Came here to say something similar. At this point very few wines are fined with egg, but the lack of labeling is a problem for those concerned about it.

    Depends on your definition of 'damage' - if a drop of soup gets under the plexiglass, I'm not clutching any pearls. If the paintings were completely destroyed, I would not be supportive.

    That said its a moot point because these headline grabbing demonstrations have been nondestructive. Stonehenge is fine. The sunflowers will continue to be sunflowery.

    irreplaceable cultural artifacts

    I mean it won't be exactly the same, but I'm pretty sure they can buy more of that plexiglass that got soup'd. Calling plexiglass a cultural artifact feels like a bit of a stretch, but I do think it's replaceable.

    But what about The Economy®™?!? We can't possibly have Apple only make 10s of billions of dollars in profit instead of 100s of billions of dollars because we made the price of goods destroying our planet more expensive!

    If we start to make the cost of goods proportional to the associated environmental destruction, I won't be able to buy the 12th pair of Nikes for my shoe collection. I might have to wear my clothes more than once, and GASP, take public transit places.

    Like sure, our grandkids may get to grow up in a world looking like something out of Mad Max, but at least I wouldn't have to suffer any inconveniences to my lifestyle.

    I know Lemmy has mixed feelings here, but I personally applaud these activists for risking prison time to draw attention to a major existential threat.

    I find it quite entertaining to see all the art aficionados coming out so shook by them getting a little bit of soup onto some plexiglass and a picture frame that they probably couldn't even describe before these incidents. Close your eyes, Is it walnut or cherry? Painted or oil finished? Ornate or simple? 5 or 7 inches wide? Symmetrical or asymmetrical along a horizontal axis?

    These protests, which thus far have involved basically zero actual damage of cultural significance have driven significantly more attention (good and bad) to their cause than anything else that has been done. Their protests are non-violent and generally nondestructive.

    That said, the real crime here is the judge sentencing 2 years in prison for getting some soup on the frame of a painting - I don't support violent protests, but I'm pretty sure you could just go around and slap oil CEOs in the face for a fraction of the sentence.

    The boycott makes a innocent sufferer of the bus company. Had the company defiled city and state laws its franchise would have been canceled. The quarrel of the Negroes is with the law. It is wrong to hold the company hostage.

    -The Montgomery Advertiser, Montgomery Alabama, Dec 8, 1955

    The white man's economic artillery is far superior, better emplaced, and commanded by more experienced gunners.

    Second, the white man holds all the offices of government machinery. There will be white rule for as far as the eye can see.

    Are these not the facts of life?

    Let us be specific, concrete. What is the cost is the bus boycott to the Negro community? Does any Negro leader doubt that the resistance to the registration of Negro voting has been increased? Is economic punishment of the bus company - an innocent hostage to the laws and customs of Alabama - worth the price of a block to the orderly registration of Negro voters?

    -The Montgomery Advertiser, Montgomery Alabama, Dec 13, 1955

    Posting this for no particular reason every time I see folks complaining about protestors "not protesting the right way"
