  • Flock CEO calls Deflock a “terrorist organization”

    Jump

  • There’s YouTube video out there, the name escapes at the moment, where he figures out how to basically insert “noise” over his license plate that can lead to flock cameras not recognizing it. Fascinating stuff.

    Two big issues IMO. 1) maybe it fools cameras now, but who knows if it continues to. 2) it’s illegal to cover your plate, probably doubly with the intent to obfuscate. My solution is bike rack. “Oops, didn’t meant to cover my plate” is good plausible deniability.

  • Disney+ loses Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and 3D amid patent dispute

  • Patent trolls are some of the only companies that make Disney actually the good guy for a change.

  • I used deflock to look for cameras around me; I CANNOT leave my city limits by car without passing by a Flock camera.

  • Trump says he will revoke church tax exempt status if leaders 'say something bad about' him

    Jump

  • He’ll just “sell” tax exempt status for 50% of what can be saved when exempt.

  • Ron DeSantis says Floridians have right to hit protesters with cars

    Jump

  • There is logic behind not prohibiting people from fleeing from a legitimate threat.

    But if his comments don’t also include the statement that people protests blocking traffic don’t constitute a threat, it’s just implicit permission to harm protesters.

  • build walkable communities

  • “Walkable” to a gas station is a strong indication of satire.

  • That is pretty cool. But I have to think since the US is the country in which this is pertinent an iOS app would be most effective.

  • I legitimately have an idea for an app that solves this problem. Its key feature, besides being open source, would be that people without uteruses could use it too, making any data conceivably collected useless.

    I don’t have the skills to make it myself (yet), but if any developer wants to talk I’ll give the idea away. I just want it to be made.

    App would be open source, all data local. Perhaps the option to sync to encrypted iCloud or Android equivalent, but certainly not a cloud-based option you need a new login for. All the features currently in these kinds of apps and that make them useful for menstruating people. Now replace “period” with “hair cut”. Non-menstruating people can now use it, earnestly, for tracking when their last hair cut was, making it useful and the data (if it were to be collected somehow) just noise.

    I even have a name in mind: “hair**.**cuts” (heavy emphasis on the period in the name.) Idea is that anyone with it on their device has plausible deniability that they are using it for period tracking, but the “period” in the name is an implicit wink so we all know what it’s really being used for.

  • Apple will end support for Intel Macs next year, macOS 27 will require Apple Silicon

  • I’ve thought about starting a charity doing exactly that.

  • wtf, I hate DEI now

    Jump

  • I’m not saying they conflict, I’m saying they are separate things, both laudable.

    How to treat content with racist undertones (or overtones) is certainly worthy of debate; I tend to agree that not hiding them, but rather to used them to educate, as they’ve done heretofore, is probably the best. But even if the decision is to hide them, I don’t think it falls under the DEI bucket, at least not directly.

  • wtf, I hate DEI now

    Jump

  • Totally. Not calling out the title of the post.

    I’m questioning Disney’s “reasoning.” As far as I can tell, racial sensitivity ≠ DEI.

    Btw: thank you (earnestly) for this post. I’ve perused The Life and Times… before, but now I’m on a mission to find as much Barks and Rosa stuff as I can. Watched a lot if related YouTube videos on them this afternoon.

  • WTF does this have to do with DEI?
