The “am I right” irks me so bad. It just screams “I NEED EXTERNAL JUSTIFICATION. PLEASE SOMEONE NOTICE ME.” And on it’s own that’s not all that terrible, except it’s been shamelessly used by bots to plug ads.

To be honest that’s likely the most effective. Though not very effective compared to threats against family.
Is it ok to be cautious? Yes! But mostly when you want to setup your own system and record or monitor your own premises. In which case you can select systems or cameras that have features and functionality, as well as connectivity, in ways you decide.
You want to use the ring app to be notified someone is at your door? You’re gonna have to give their system access to the video. But, you can also setup your own system without ring, and use self hosted tools to do essentially the same thing.
As for being cautious that cameras on the street are tracking you? Hard to really do anything about that (even though the effort required would be prohibitively immense to track an individual through all the various systems).
How would you propose the intervention happen? Sit Kim down and say “bad boy, stop it”?
What can “the west” really do to prevent or stop troops from NK being sent to the Ukraine front?
Russia isn’t going to stop them from crossing their border.
I don’t trust Uber either.
That’s cool. Where at? I mean, I haven’t seen any taxi in a place I’ve ever visited with an app.
And then there’s the issue of knowing what app before you get there, or just trusting the sign on the side of the taxi, and subsequently the app to not farm your data.
Thinking about this… I wonder if the fediverse could be used for an “open source” app, to then hail and track a taxi in whatever area you’re in…
Of course adoption would be the hardest part, but any taxi service could host their own server (even single driver operations) and anyone with an app that interfaces with the system could hail a taxi.
Privacy would be difficult, as, inherently you need to somehow inform the taxi where you are and possibly who to expect. And anyone in the system could potentially monitor anyone else.
I’d say that payments should be outright blocked from the system. Taxi should have to do that separately.
The only thing it has “over” taxis is an app instead of a phone call to dispatch.
Second note, the metal pipe has to be continuously metal from at minimum where it enters the house, don’t trust that if you see a metal water pipe (or drain pipe) that it’s grounded.
Definitely realistic, just not as profitable for rich billionaires.
Yeah, make them out of metal, that rolls on metal roads. And those metal tires can carry a ton more weight, so put a lot of people in them who are going the same way.
Oh right, we already have those.
Holy shit, they failed hard.
I’m sure they could have come up with a witty thing with Haim and Harm.
I store in home Depot containers with desiccant in the bottom. And have another modified to print from. (Printed spool holder with bearings, reverse Bowden through container side)
It really didn’t change my workflow, just where to get the spools to load, and where to load them.
Print quality improved greatly.
Home assistant, and frigate. Along with whatever type of smart lock you choose (even building one with esphome, diy version)
I’m 100% convinced that’s the end goal. Then you can use those “undesirables” for slave labor.
Shittycon valley vs Shittycon slopes. Might as well be the same thing.
Yup. Though many people call it “Utah”
There’s a sea level canal in Greece, the Corinth canal. And it has pretty strong tidal currents.
I wonder if, hypothetically, we could use such currents for more efficient power generation compared to the current tidal power generation.
Or Hancock lol
Hmmm. While that would technically stop Russia from needing the troops in Ukraine, I don’t think that just giving a dictator sections of land because he claimed them is a good path.
“Just give up when I take your shit” is a shit take.
