- Comment on Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression(FIRE) sues Bondi, Noem for censoring Facebook group and app reporting ICE activity 7 hours ago:
The current administration is 100% openly telling apple, Google, Facebook, etc… to remove ice reporting and making threats for protected speech.

And when those lawsuits shook out it turned out that the Biden administration didn’t actually do anything wrong. It just warned people about an attempt to influence the election but never said that had to remove content.

- Comment on Ring is always recording and uploading to their servers, even with you're not paying for the subscription 3 days ago:
There are companies that advertise their products doing everything locally. Eufy for one. Although, be warned that anything that sends you a push notification must send SOMETHING to the cloud. People lost their minds a year or two ago when someone pointed out Eufy’s push notifications send recognized faces to th cloud as part of their push notifications. Eufy did add a warning and the option to disable, or made it opt in I think.
Anyway, the point of all that is it’s all a matter of degrees. Ring and Nest rely heavily on the cloud to process your video and do just about everything. But there are local solutions with varying degrees of local.

Yeah, most of those cameras don’t do the machine vision tasks on the device. They stream video to the server which processes it faster.

Regardless of how people feel, the Nazis are here
Regardless of ethics and morals, they are not going to go away.
Regardless of how people feel about it, polio is here
Regardless of ethics and morals, it is not going to go away.
You could insert pretty much anything we’ve done away with into that sentence.

Any new shares/reposts would show once the account was followed from the gram.social server. Anything prior to that you would have to view the account on the home instance.

Is it possible the missing items are from before the account federated to gram.social?

- Comment on 10+ year manager named Joe was apparently fired for bringing cookies to be thrown away before their sell by date to a food pantry in my town 4 days ago:
Liability if the food is bad. He was fired because the company perceives it as theft. The act does not cover that.

Unfortunately this is going to leave a lot of rural customers in the dark. Poor Internet connection and drm TV. Guess who will control everything they see and hear?

- Comment on Rechargeable electric arc lighters kinda suck for the average person, and will typically end up as e-waste. 4 days ago:
Yes, I’ll just build an entire infrastructure to support a gas station lighter that only exists because “if you’re dumb enough to buy cigarettes you’ll probably buy this gimmick.”

My concern isn’t money, it’s the reliability. If you store those things correctly they will always light. If you store a batter powered device correctly, no matter what it must be recharged even if it hasn’t been used. I don’t want to have to think about whether I charged my firestarter. The checklist is long enough when you are going camping. It’s just one more thing to forget.

Flint and steel. No battery required.

Lol, the idea what a battery powered device is a camping to for starting fires is just funny to me. Of all the ways we have to start fires one that requires a battery is the last thing I’m wasting weight and space on when camping.
- Comment on What to do with a roll of unprintable filament 5 days ago:
Have you tested that is actually ABS? Is it burning because it’s mislabeled something else with a lower temp range?
If it is really ABS, mix with acetone to make a slurry for bonding abs parts. You can also cast parts in molds from the slurry with limitations.
