😂👌

I mean, being the crazy guy that never leaves your house is no fun. Gotta share all your madness with the neighbourhood. Spread the love XD

Also; where tf do you store a 50’ skeleton the rest of the year… I don’t have space for that, it can stay on the lawn.

Youtube regularly makes changes that break third party apps/clients/frontends.

Give it a couple days, the devs will catch up and fix the issues/incompatibility.

Did you read the article provided?

Even a police officer cannot just follow someone around all day every day, without reasonable articulable suspicion. They would also be guilty of harassment and/or criminal stalking.

Again, it’s not that a camera is recording that’s the problem. It’s the infrastructure behind those cameras that aggregate all the data into a single database which requires no cause to search. Anyone with a badge/title can track anyone throughout the whole country, with no probable cause, no warrant, and no oversight. They don’t even have to say why they’re searching the system.

An ex partner fleeing an abusive boyfriend/girlfriend that happens to be a police officer (or that has a police officer buddy) can and will be hunted down by that ex, and nobody will know until it’s too late. This system directly puts people in danger.

at least 50 documented cases across the United States in which law enforcement officers have been charged with or accused of misusing AI-powered automated license plate reader systems to conduct unauthorized surveillance of intimate partners, ex-partners, or women they wanted to meet. In 26 of those cases, prosecutors and investigators concluded that officers used the technology specifically to spy on wives, girlfriends, former partners, their exes’ new partners, or women they sought to approach.

These systems also get used by government agencies (on both sides of the spectrum) to track anyone that disagrees with their political stance, fishing for ways to harass, jail, or run them out of town/state. Governments given this type of power stop being democracies and become dictatorships; because anyone that could or would challenge them get hunted down.

I see nothing wrong with what you’re doing in public being available to law enforcement.

It wouldn’t be a problem if every person with access to this system was 100% honest and just; but thats simply not the reality of the world. There are ALWAYS people that will abuse these types of tools for evil purposes. That’s why we have a court system instead of just making every police officer ‘judge, jury, and executioner’.

Flock removes the court system and puts all the power in every single officers hands. That is NOT a good thing.

‘Every police officer has good intentions’ is a fantasy. If you can’t see that, you’ve spent way too much time inside.

Flock effectively follows you around like a stalker.

If I was to follow you around all day, recording everything you do (even if I just stay in public spaces), I would be guilty of harassment and potentially criminal stalking. Flock does the same thing, just via a network of cameras instead of literally following you in person.

There are tons of public cameras, but they’re owned by seprate individuals/companies. You’d be required to get permission from each ones owner to collect their footage, which in itself provides saftey against stalkers. The owners of that footage are in no way obligated to provide it and will likely refuse without being given a good reason. They may even still refuse until provided with a court order. That oversight, from both the footage owners and the courts that order it to be handed over, protects people from unlawful harassment, particularly stalkers.

The fact that Flock provides anyone with a badge/title the ability to freely search a massive database for every public location a person has been, what they were wearing, how they walk, what bluetooth devices they had, their mode of transport (plus every detail about it Flock can extract), facial recognition data, and more - is terrifying. 0 oversight: no warrant, no reasonable suspicion, no evidence of a crime; just following you around hoping to catch you doing something they don’t like (regardless of whether it’s illegal activity or not).

If you haven’t yet, you should really read that article I posted above.

A single search query recruits that entire network as a passive tracking apparatus. An officer who sets a specific plate on a “hot list” receives an automatic alert whenever that vehicle appears anywhere in the system — across city limits, across state lines, across jurisdictions the officer has no authority in. The abuser does not need to be present. The cameras do the watching for him.

Your presumptions aren’t helpful in the slightest. Educate, don’t enflame.

Being unaware of the ramifications is not even remotely the same as being ok with them.

One camera isnt the problem.

A whole network of cameras tracking your every move, logged in a national database that doesn’t require a warrant or oversight is.

Police require a warrant to get your phones location data, but they don’t require one to ask Flock for your every move. This has already been abused hundreds of times by police and city employees to stalk their ex partners and more…

Here’s one article of many

HR departments get flooded with AI generated applications by the truckload making automating rejections the only viable way to keep up

That goes both ways. Employers have been auto rejecting applicants for years, so applicants have shifted to automating applications.

Why should someone looking for a job take the time to craft an application, when it gets rejected without a person ever actually looking at it.

Last time I went job hunting (2yrs ago), I got a response from less than 1% of the jobs I applied to.

It’s the classic World War II napalm.

Acetone works too. You really don’t have to be that picky.

Gasoline will do the same.

Molotov’s are pretty cheap/easy to make and they’re pretty effective during construction, before the sprinkler system is installed+charged.

The gov may lift the ban, and put the bottles back on the shelves; but we’re still not buying it.

Elbows up motherfuckers.

/edit: I should also note; each province enacted their own ban. It’s not up to the federal government whether we lift the bans, each province would have to agree separately.

The overwhelming majority of MAGA Cuban-Americans* are just ignorant racists.

Ignorant racists that support the suffering being inflicted upon their own ‘home country’, as evidenced by their continued support of MAGA. Traitors to their own country and undeserving of the title ‘Cuban’ in my opinion.

The overwhelming majority of Cubans, are still in Cuba.

I’ve generalised quite a bit in this conversation. There is of course quite a bit more nuance than I’ve touched on; and groups of Cuban-Americans out there that see past the lies they’ve been told, disillusioned and against the suffering inflicted upon their home. To those I salute you.

No, I’m not crossing that border again in my lifetime. 🇨🇦

Read the rest of this conversation.

In the short term.

If we can drive the cost of replacing them above the ‘value they bring’ (at least as perceived by local officials) they’re not going to want to replace them.

Big bill, with little return. Why keep paying.

Lots of people, materials, and activity… Seems like a great time to sneak something in… Or out.

They were definitely Cuban Americans from Miami.

My bigger point is these people have little to no legitimacy in claming to be Cuban. They were rightly forced out by the population they had enslaved, and continue to seek greater suffering for those people.

They don’t GAF about the actual Cuban population, all they see is a farm they no longer control and that infuriates them.

Fuck these people and what they have to say; they do not speak for Cuba.

CUBANS - actual Cuban people, that live in Cuba - do not support MAGA, nor most of America and it’s government. For damn good reasons.

If you read father down you see strange things like them not wanting Trump to negotiate with the ruling family and not approving of allowing the Cuban government to continue to exist with only economic reforms.

Because these people seek only the eradication of those who opposed them, and the return of their slave colony.

Note: There are groups of Cuban-Americans who do believe in true justice for Cuba and it’s people, and have disillusioned themselves from the indoctrination of their peers. I applaud those that have and hope they’ll fight for their country.

How many of those respondents are actually Cubans (ie peoole that actually live in Cuba) vs Cuban-American slave owners that were forced out of Cuba to America and just want their plantations and slaves back?

Nobodys actually asking Cubans, because they don’t care what Cubans think/want. America just wants to retake it’s slave colony.
