United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Right-wing blogger questioned under anti-terror laws at Edinburgh AirportEnglish
2·11 days agoIt would require a warrant for police (at least here in Canada), phones contain a lot of highly personal data. Border guards have more authority but should still require some justification.
Just because he’s a dirt bag Nazi doesn’t mean we should support taking his devices and searching them, without a disclosed reason behind it.

33·11 days agoHouston, who says he is a member of Restore Britain, has not been arrested or charged, but police confirmed his electronic devices were seized.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Student pilot successfully lands plane after instructor jumps to death mid-flightEnglish
112·13 days agoLandings are pretty much your first focus after basic air work, and you can solo in 15-20 hours typically. A full license is around 80 hours (at least here in Canada), and she had a ppl already.
When i soloed my instructor was kind enough to get out of the plane while we were on the ground. What a horrible experience for this student.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•[META] Are paid for, closed source projects, being advertised on this community, appropriate?English
6·30 days agoPersonally I’m fine with paid apps here, lots of people use tailscale for example. I think the larger issue is the drive-by spamming without contributing outside of their own promotion thread.
