I’m not sure it matters if it’s legal or not anymore these days.

Still, they can legally demand any recordings from you if they reasonably can know that such recordings exist. Generally they will need a warrant or they may subpoena you for the evidence that they know you have. You can even be arrested for erasing your own footage as destruction of evidence.

Obligatory statement that I am not a lawyer and this isn’t legal advice.

Unless you’re self hosting your own cameras, just don’t. If you don’t control the data then it’s somebody else’s camera.

I’m deeply proud of Python for standing by its community and making the right decision.

You’re not wrong there. This model doesn’t scale, but there are solutions to this that can help us rebuild that I believe will get people back to a network eventually.

I participate in monthly exercises where we use a repeater system to relay messages in emergencies somewhat like how the telegraph system worked. In this way, we can re-use the limited bandwidth geographically. HF works at the current load but for higher bandwidth needs we can move to regional (say, a 10-meter net of which I know of one regional) or even local repeater systems at higher frequencies and find that much more usable bandwidth becomes available. Several US states have wide repeater networks fully operational at this moment.

In a total collapse situation we could start with HF and form new communities that can scale in much the same way that people scale to form social groups when shouting in a large room isn’t working anymore. In fact, most areas already have multiple local repeaters and sometimes an emergency net. It can happen if the demand is there in an Internet collapse situation.

I’m a Ham and we send digital messages including a form of electronic email over the air. I’ve exchanged the equivalent of emails across continents with no intermediary. There will always be connection where there is a will. There will be some kind of network, but it might not be the one we have today.

America first 💸🔥

I use it and I have not encountered this. You’re referring to the desktop GUI maybe?

Because they have the fascist brain disorder and are a danger to all living.

I’ll take a risk and say Fedora KDE Plasma flavor. Rolling release so highly current drivers, and it’s done a great job with my games.

I will continue to enjoy my incredibly straightforward and to the point Linux desktop that’s somehow gained a new AI-free feature by doing nothing.

Point taken!

Looks like they just made it in before the big AI crash.

Is this satire? If I have to ask, it’s lame.

I think it’s basically a streaming service character portrayal of yourself, like an avatar.

Are there actually enough users that I can stumble upon others in radio mesh range?

You’re right here, building it with us!

Unfortunately, the money has already been pocketed.

A 1.6 in a car that light isn’t all that slow. That’s what, nine seconds? Not a race car, but cars used to be so much slower.

Last time I checked gold and silver were at all time highs and the dollar was down more than 10% YTD.

Nonsense. We can print an unlimited amount of dollars.

Yes! The problem is that we won’t accept the full correction that is actually required. We print money, we buy securities, we find ways to prop to reduce the pain but we end up shifting the weakness to other areas of the economy.
