A trial at Liverpool Crown Court has been shown CCTV footage of Amaaz, 20, swinging a punch towards the officer, hitting her in the nose - and today new scenes captured on bodyworn police cameras were revealed showing her distress.

PC Ward, who described herself as 'quite petite, 5ft 2in and 8st', told the court that she was part of the three-officer team going to arrest Amaaz on suspicion of headbutting a man minutes earlier in a Starbucks cafรฉ.

The unarmed officer said she had gone into a pay station area alongside armed officers Zachary Marsden and Ellie Cook to arrest Amaaz after he had been identified as a suspect on CCTV.

She told how Amaaz punched her after she tried to drag him away from her colleague PC Marsden who was grappling with Amaaz's brother Muhammed Amaad, 26.

The attempted arrest was followed by a brawl involving Amaaz, Amaad and three officers that was filmed and went viral online.

Estava devendo um testemunho sobre aluguel de infraestrutura em centro de dados da empresa alemรฃ Contabo, da qual ainda, embora nรฃo mais com tanto gosto, sou cliente โ€” assim como #Ayom jรก tinha passado a ser, pouco antes, por seu fundador e principal mantenedor @pedro@ayom.media .

Atendi a pedidos da prรณpria empresa, aparentemente enviados em massa para clientes brasileiros, para que fizesse uma avaliaรงรฃo do serviรงo num tal TrustPilot, que parece anรกlogo ao brasileiro ReclameAqui, ou vice-versa. Segue uma cรณpia adaptada do relato:

โญ๏ธโญ๏ธ Tecnicamente nos conformes, porรฉm enganosa para o consumidor

Estou extremamente insatisfeito com a prรกtica comercial da Contabo, em especial em relaรงรฃo a um aumento de 20% na mensalidade que passou de 5.50 dรณlares para 6.60 com a justificativa de uma suposta descontinuaรงรฃo do suporte ร  minha mรกquina virtual. Isso pareceu um estratagema de manipulaรงรฃo que se aproveitou da boa-fรฉ do consumidor e contornou os Termos e Condiรงรตes do serviรงo (Clรกusula 4-9) para evitar tratar seu potencial abusivo. Embora o serviรงo tecnicamente funcione, o lapso รฉtico รฉ decepcionante.

Pela legislaรงรฃo europeia, acredito que isso possa ser considerado abusivo por desprezar a boa-fรฉ e criar desequilรญbrio entre as partes. No Brasil, provavelmente seria julgado abusivo e nulo de acordo com o Cรณdigo de Defesa do Consumidor que proรญbe tais prรกticas enganosas.

Acabei mantendo o plano original e depois contratei um novo, atรฉ perceber que ambas as mรกquinas tรชm infraestrutura idรชntica. Isso รฉ revoltante e destaca ainda mais a falta de รฉtica do fornecedor.

Sugestรฃo de melhoria: Para construir confianรงa, a empresa deve divulgar claramente suas prรกticas comerciais padrรฃo tais como potenciais aumentos de preรงo apรณs o primeiro ano e oferecer opรงรตes genuรญnas de continuidade do serviรงo a fim de nรฃo enganar os clientes.


Reposta da empresa:

Obrigado por dedicar tempo para compartilhar sua opiniรฃo. Lamento realmente pela sua experiรชncia โ€” nรณs levamos isso a sรฉrio e vamos investigar mais a fundo.

Used @Vivaldi for the entire day today and I gotta be honest, I got used to the non-Arc-like tabs pretty fast.

Tab stacks are cool, I wish drag and drop was smoother (or at least gave better visual feedback), but overall I think it solves my need for organizing tabs quite well.

I set new tabs to always open in a stack with the current tab (i.e. if I open a link in a page in a new tab, it creates a stack for it) which helps with keeping things tidy when going down a rabbit hole.

I also mapped the Quick Commands dialog to open on cmd+t, mimicking Arc's spotlight-thingy. It is fast and works quite well, especially after configuring it to open links in a new tab as well.

Gonna keep using it, I think. Arc still works and probably will for a while, but I'm preparing for the day its updates cease. Plus, Vivaldi seems to deserve some spotlight, there's obviously a lot of care put into it.

Of Course Trump Doesnโ€™t Want to Release the #EpsteinFiles

Not only was Trump intimately close to #JeffreyEpstein, but there is a wealth of reporting tying the #billionaire #pedophile to intelligence circles. Trump is once again protecting the #elites he claimed he would fight on the #campaign trail.

Dictatorship is top-down and centralised. Resistance is bottom-up and decentralised. So. Organise local initiatives to foster resistance. Never hope for The Lonesome Hero that you can follow. Resistance is all of us. Uncoordinated. But led by basic principles. Fundamental human rights. Equality. Ignorance of centralised rules being forced down your throat. #GoodNight

Hello, World!

I first learned Unix from NetBSD, moved on to running Linux myself in the 1990's along with FreeBSD and sometimes NetBSD. I'm also a former Solaris and OpenSolaris fan, and was an enthusiastic OS X user for a decade starting with 10.1.

These days my main machines are Fedora and recently NetBSD again. Work is programming microelectronics CAD software on RHEL.

I made this alt with the hope of following more of what's going on amongst BSD users, rather than just running a couple machines by myself.

It's not exactly retrocomputing but it kind of is. Someone has started a project to make an Apple Lisa-like UI that runs in the browser. It's not just a font/icon thing. The way you did things on Lisa was very different than how we do things nowadays. It was a document-centric not app-centric workflow. It's pretty neat and pretty faithful representation. At first I thought it was infinitemac.org project which runs Mac and NeXT emulators in the browser running the real operating systems. That too would be an interesting project for someone to explore. #RetroComputing #Apple #AppleLisa alpha.lisagui.com/

Howard Lutnik didn't go to work on 911. He was a chief exec at Cantor Fitzgerald at the time.

He's now the US commerce sec, a role previously filled in the first Trump presidency by Wilbur Ross, Director of Rothschild, LTD during the 1990 Trump bankruptcy bailout.

Lutnik, lower portion of the meme, is attending Rabbi Schneerson's annual ceremony.

Lutnik bought the house that Epstein used to use on East 71st Street (owned by Wexner). Wexner bought the mansion next door and moved Epstein there.


Federated Social Media with Topic-Based Following and Blocking?


I'm looking for a federated social media platform that allows for easy topic-based following and blocking, similar to how you can follow or block hashtags on Twitter. On Lemmy, you can follow communities, but there are so many that it becomes overwhelming. I want a platform where I can see or block everything related to a specific tag, and also view only the most popular posts about that topic, similar to how Lemmy communities work. Mastodon, for example, only shows the latest posts, which isn't ideal for trending content. I don't want a chat-like experience; I want to quickly see what's trending about a topic or what's trending in general, while being able to block a few specific topics. Ideally, I wouldn't have to spend hours curating a list of communities or followed users. Does anyone know of a platform that fits these criteria?
in reply to PumpkinDrama

On Lemmy, you might find it overwhelming by looking at the all communities feed and then blocking those you don't like. Instead subscribe to the ones you want and then just view the subscribe feed.

Personally, I use all to find more content and block communities I don't want. I then just jumpnjnto subscribed occasionally of there is too much junk.

It's a shame that there aren't finer controls, like to ramp up and down communities rather than just block or subscribe. Some communities, I wouldn't mind seeing their popular posts but I don't want to say the hordes of junk posts. Only option is to block.
