He made sure to remove agency from the workers in the process

The end result may have been favorable, but it seems wack to use this an example of Biden supporting unions. Seems more like he disenfranchised them instead

South Dakota here. I typed out a long reply several times, but I don't know how to explain it.

Our governor is obviously an extremist, fully subscribing to the concept of a "border crisis," anti-LGBTQIA+ policies, being so overtly racist that she's banned from three reservations.

I'm a "redneck" looking cis male, and people will share with me their opinions, thinking I'll agree. These people don't think people like Noem and Trump go far enough. It's actually important to understand that even the "nice church people" types believe this. They support much more extreme policies than what we're seeing.

Edit: I forgot to say this, but this is only responding to the contents of your post. Your link takes me to the kbin login page.

I'm in one of the marginalized groups, being gay and married to a first-gen immigrant who also has trans people in my family and neighbors , family, friends who don't speak English and/or are non-Christian (Muslims, atheists).

It's not like everyone here is bad, but the people who elect these bigots know exactly what they stand for, and they support it.

Also, South Dakota has a really problematic history, so it's not like all of this has just come out of left field.

And I know not all religious people are hateful, so I try not to characterize them that way. One of the first people I felt comfortable coming out to was a Muslim woman, and we (my husband and I) literally are friends with some clergy who happen to be some of the most outspoken LGBTQIA+ allies in our community imo.

But anyone who supports Republicans here knows exactly what they're getting, and as I've said in many cases wish people like Noem would go even further to marginalize and oppress these marginalized groups. In fact, I used to try to befriend Republicans, but in every case they ended up disclosing to me some extremely fucked up goals, and I can't legitimize their worldview by having anything to do with them beyond what my work requires.

Android phone saving metadata for screenshots ( i.ibb.co )

I always remove this data from my screenshots before sharing, but is there any way to prevent this from happening in the first place? I've searched and searched, but all I can find is information about how to remove the data after the fact, which I already know how to do, but it would sure be nice if it never got added in the...

LinkOpensChest_wav OP ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

I'm using an app called Image Toolbox

I use a FOSS camera, and when I take photos I can see there's not any exif data, but there is when I use the volume/power combo to take screenshots.

LinkOpensChest_wav OP ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

Android 14, and it's Samsung so I know they add their own restrictions, etc., but I'm not sure what they all are. Nothing good lol

I'm using Simple Camera, which I do plan to replace, but it doesn't save exif data to the photos I take. It happens when I use the volume + power button combo to take screenshots.

When I open any photo taken with my camera, I see no exif data at all.

LinkOpensChest_wav OP ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

Do you have a Samsung phone? I'm starting to think it might be yet another Samsung thing.

LinkOpensChest_wav OP ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

It's Samsung

I looked in settings, but I didn't see anything that looked relevant to metadata

LinkOpensChest_wav OP ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

Mine's a Samsung S21FE so I don't think I can use that OS

LinkOpensChest_wav OP ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

Yeah that's what I've been using. I was hoping there'd be a way to just not include exif data in the first place.

LinkOpensChest_wav OP ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

I don't see a screenshot app in the apps list, even when I select to show system apps.

LinkOpensChest_wav OP ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

Is there a way to prevent this?

LinkOpensChest_wav OP ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

This only works for photos taken with the camera, not for screenshots

LinkOpensChest_wav OP ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

No worries. Thanks for responding.

LinkOpensChest_wav OP ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

I knew I'd get a comment like this eventually. There's no rational reason it should be adding this data at all, and there should be a way to disable this behavior. The camera I use doesn't add this data when I take a photo, and there's no reason taking a screenshot should do so.

The software version doesn't just say "Android 14" either. It looks very specific.

No matter how you look at it, this is not an acceptable way for a device to behave, with no way to change it in settings.

LinkOpensChest_wav OP ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

To me this is a non-issue.

Clearly, I feel differently. This may blow your mind, but people have different feelings about sharing information that is so specific that it can be identifying information.

Did you come here just to insult me, or do you have any actual insight into my inquiry? I really don't understand people like you. Just ignore the post if you don't care or don't want to be helpful.

@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

Yeah, unfortunately I don't believe I can flash a custom rom onto a Samsung. Ugh.

Thanks for responding!

LinkOpensChest_wav OP ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

So ... do you have a way to stop screenshots from saving metadata to my screenshots or not? I've indicated my wishes. If you don't want to help, then please ignore the post.

LinkOpensChest_wav OP ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

Yeah, that's what I'm starting to think. Ugh, so frustrating! I'll just keep removing it after the fact. Thanks!

LinkOpensChest_wav OP ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

Yeah. In my opinion, it's more of Samsung's bullshit. There's really no conceivable reason not to give users the option to avoid having metadata saved with their screenshots. It's super annoying because I have to open it with a third-party app, strip the metadata, save the stripped image, then delete the original (which I rarely do, because it's so time consuming already, so it's taking up twice the amount of storage for me).

I did find a third-party screenshot app that doesn't save metadata, but it's problematic in its own way, so I won't use it.

I'll just keep stripping it manually. It's a pita though, and I feel like there should be an easy solution. A lot of users in this thread say their phones don't save metadata in their screenshots, but I'm unfortunate enough to have a Samsung.

LinkOpensChest_wav OP ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

Except who's trying to argue? I'm merely asking if anyone knows a way to prevent metadata from being saved to my screenshots. I'm not looking for an argument.

If this type of inquiry doesn't belong in this community, I'd gladly take advice on where to ask instead.

@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

Nice. This will take a bit of learning, but if I can figure it out, it can save me a bunch of time! Thanks!

I’m poor and can’t risk bricking it

Truth, I feel this too. My phone was a birthday present from my husband too, so I'd feel really bad if I bricked it.

LinkOpensChest_wav OP ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

Thanks. I've been looking for a replacement app for the camera since the one I use was bought out.

Thank you for sharing this. I've bookmarked it to read later when I can focus.

It's so hard to correct misconceptions once they've taken hold in the public consciousness, especially something that's been used as an excuse to uphold an inherently inequitable system. Often, people will change their view once they've had time to process. As someone who is rather stubborn and learned about the tragedy of the commons in college, I have some firsthand experience with this lol

It doesn't matter to them. For neoliberal Democrats, even criticizing a sitting president for supporting genocide is "a support for Trump" in their twisted brains

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

They'll dismiss progressives and leftists as "Russian bots" while continuing to marginalize people and support genocidal regimes.

And then they'll gaslight us into thinking it's our fault for not voting for whatever steaming pile of excrement they put up for election.

Actually, that's not fair. I've never seen a steaming pile of excrement commit genocide or imprison immigrants, so we'd actually be better off with a literal steaming pile of shit in the White House.

For a "lefty memes" community, there are sure a lot of genocide apologists in here

Wrong. It's unacceptable for any candidate, and if people are just "suddenly" waking up to this, then it's about damn time!
