While helping my mum with something recently, I've noticed that her #GMail started featuring a banner that she ran out of space, and mails will stop arriving in less than a month. As expected, she never even noticed it. On the other hand, I had two thoughts about it.
Firstly, of course, #Google are shameless assholes (Microsoft's even worse, as I boosted at some point before). Mom's new phone came with Google Photos preinstalled in place of vendor's gallery, and of course it automatically started making backups of her photos and movies in the "cloud", or as I'd like to call it, to pedophiles. The photos finally filled up the free space, and Google started doing everything to convince her to buy more space. I honestly doubt she'd be able to figure out that she needed to turn these backups off and wipe them; if anything, I suspect she'd just start hopelessly removing photos from the phone, which might not have helped at all.
Secondly, it's that if such a thing happened to me, I probably wouldn't even know, because I'm reading my mail via a mail client. So I wouldn't ever have seen their banner. Well, unless they also send a mail about it, and my mom missed it among all the spam.

Today in the drizzle I stopped by the Living Library, a beautiful native plant garden near SF's Balboa Park at the San Jose/Seneca intersection. Highly recommend a visit to see some #ceanothus in bloom and California poppies and island mallows beginning to, and much more.

Vielleicht habt Ihr Zeit, dem DLF eine Mail zu schreiben.

Just had an elderly women neighbour in for tea. Cars came up, and I said we've been electric since 2017. She looked horrified and asked how we managed -they'll only go for 50 miles before the battery is flat!
I blame the Telegraph and the Daily Mail for poisoning the minds of little old ladies.
Was Hänschen mal lernt, vergisst Hans nimmermehr.
Jedenfalls nicht, ein Multimeter beim zurück räumen ins Regal auf den größten Spannungsmessbereich einzustellen. Dann kann nämlich am wenigsten kaputt gehen, wenn man das beim nächsten Mal benutzt und nicht aufpasst, was man misst. Gelernt in meiner Berufsausbildung, ca. 1987.
Die Zahlen zu digitaler Gewalt bei #Lesubia sind ziemlich gering. Allerdings sind scheinbar auch nicht alle Formen abgefragt worden.
Was fehlt zB:
➖ Einsatz von Stalkerware
➖ Mitlesen von E-Mails
➖ Lokalisierung, auch durch AirTags
➖ Aufnahmen durch Minikameras
➖ Überwachung durch Kinderspielzeug
Also sehr typische Formen digitaler Gewalt durch (Ex-)Partner*…
