  • I wouldn’t say all of that 30% thought that. There is a lot of purposeful and tactical decisions made by the GOP to prevent democratic votes. States where mail in and early voting are not allowed is an example, another is the polling places that do not allow you to give water to the people waiting in line. Then theres the ad campaigns that targeted black people saying of they voted they were going to be jailed by the IRS for some vague tax fraud reason. Some people are terrorized out of being able to vote.

    Thats not to discount that there are definitely stupid privileged fucks who simply chose not to vote and let Trump happen.


  • I completely agree with what you’re saying here as someone in the US. To add onto it, a large majority of the problem is due to the complete lack of quality public education, and the option for private schooling / home schooling mostly revolving around Christo-Fascist propaganda and not actual facts. As someone who experienced the public school system, I had no idea MLK JR was a socialist. We were only told about the amazing effects of peaceful protests. The media we consume reenforces individualism, and not community. I’ve been trying to make an effort in my own life to try and be more involved with the community around me, and to participate in local politics, volunteer work, and helping your neighbors. I’m hoping there are others like me who are doing the same, and with any luck, the culture you’re describing will see a slow, painful death as people start realizing the harmfulness of this way of living.











  • Oh wow! I was not aware how inexpensive pre-builts were. I may just pick one of those up then. Thank you for the link!! Is there any benefit of having nodes connected to MQTT? Ive heard theres some smart-home applications for people with acres of land, but would you say theres a usecase for people who live in an apartment or in.the suburbs?

    This feels a bit fear-monguerish. People should be worried about state surveillance, not Giuseppe the first time business owner installing local CCTV for theft prevention.

    I don’t like the idea of being recorded without consent, but i also am more worried about Flock, Ring and Nest services more than I am general CCTV. Most CCTV systems are local, and not uploaded to a central Palintir powered AI database. This graphic feels misleading without disclosing if CCTV counts as “locally owned camera used for insurance claims” or if it means “No warrant needed government surveillance device”.

    edit: and this source is sketchy as fuck. What does “Visual Capitalist” mean?? The website provides no “about” page, in fact it provides nothing outside of an infinitely scrolling “posts” page and a “sign in/sign up” button. It looks like venture capitalist startup garbage. https://www.voronoiapp.com/

    edit 2: I found the actual source, and the actual source says basically the same thing I did.

    Where possible, we have only included public CCTV cameras, including cameras installed on public buildings, cameras used by law enforcement, cameras installed on public transport, and traffic cameras with surveillance capabilities (i.e. automatic number plate recognition). However, in some instances, it may not be clear what cameras are included, meaning some private camera figures may also be included in the totals. We believe this may be the case for Indore.

    So this admission, in my opinion, taints the study entirely. I’m not going to say surveillance isn’t a problem. Surveillance is a HUGE problem, but we should be relying on hard facts, not grey area statistics that may or may not be true. Flock ALPR cameras are funded by Palintir. Palintir is Peter Theils brainchild. Palintir’s goal is the mass profiling and survilleing of the general populace. Palintir has partnerships with international companies, so it is not limited to US surveillance. All of these are hard facts that can be easily proven with no grey area. If we want the general population to start giving a fuck, we need to stick to those kinds of facts.

  • So it looks like currently the F-Droid release is on version 2.5.6 (Compiled Feb 11th), while the latest Android app release is v2.6.3.

    Unfortunately, Immich does not currently look to be using Reproducable Builds on F-Droid, so what that means for you is you either have to wait for F-Droid to build the current app release without updating your server, or uninstall the F-Droid build and use an app like Obtainium to use the latest Immich GitHub builds.

    I personally keep my Immich server in sync with the F-Droid releases, as I prefer F-Droid to Obtainium. I understand wanting to use the latest releases as soon as possible though. Considering v2.5.6 was published to GitHub Feb 10th, and there have been 4 builds, with a minor version bump and 3 bug fix releases as recently as “last week” (GitHub Relative dates can btfo) Obtainium may be better suited to your needs if your needs are keeping up with the latest updates.
