vlad the impaler, first time smoking weed: hey guys... i guess you could call me, "glad the inhaler" heheheheh
I get not wanting to be a victim of physical violence, but most of that is domestic, and public facing surveillance won't help that. What public facing surveillance cameras do, tho, is prevent the smashing of fascism.
Meh. Are people less likely to speed when they know where the cameras are? Sure (for locals). That doesn’t make people less likely to speed generally.
You to the government: “Surveil me more daddy!!!”
My hottest Bluesky take is being pro (contingent on it being in public areas) panopticon, particularly with cars. The safety benefits are real. But Flock being used for ICE stuff when the city paying for the equipment hasn’t agreed to that is a legit objection to the firm.
This is horseshit. It’s people like you that allow government overreaches. It’s always “marginal.” You find it palatable becuase you don’t believe you will fall victim to it. So you will always cede control as long as they take small steps. Ya know, for your comfort.
the marginal loss of privacy relative to status quo is why I'm very "ehhh" about most perceived SURVEILLANCE STATE!!! objections to thing like speed cameras. I find it hard to give much of a shit. I already assume I'm never unwatched in a populated public area. might as well be used constructively
Man destroys Flock cameras in WV WV: He was with all of us at the time so he didn’t do it.
making breaking surveillance systems a meme prob gonna end up being more effective than decades of privacy rights activists trying to talk to ppl about this stuff
They stole ALL the Flock cameras in Winona.
The worst of the bad takes on surveillance.

@francescahongwi.bsky.social What are you gonna do to end the use of Flock in Wisconsin?
Police in Wisconsin used Flock to track a man who traveled to Michigan, where marijuana is legal, then back to Wisc., where it is illegal They then used his travel as part of the probable cause justification to search his car for weed and he eventually was arrested
Y'all, I tried to think through the ballistic missile defense problem. The interceptor problem. The conclusion I've come to, is the problem is bigger than what I can be of any further help. If there was a specific problem, maybe, but these are a bunch of problems wrapped in a bigger problem.
This joke got me pondering about where exactly English lost its compound words during its evolution, and why. Do any of you nerds know?

Black women in America are more than twice as likely as white women to have a stillbirth. Getting physicians to take their concerns seriously is one reason for this disparity, they say: “If you’re a Black woman, you get dismissed.” From the archives:
