Using a camera on public property in the EU is broadly very legal.

Using recycled parts is the best advice. As you said, it's almost certainly overkill and the price can't be beat.

Unless you’re part of a marginalized group I suppose.

This is a pretty dismissive take. "Sure, things have improved for the blacks and queers, but what about us... uh, regular folk?"

I have to assume that's what it was trained on...

Thanks for the explainer, that last point is really great actually and I'm surprised that Amazon/Google etc are pushing for Matter if the data isn't sent to the internet.

I love the notion that even Twitter users had too much empathy and the platform wasn't getting Nazified fast enough on it's own so they had to program a robot to go around and spread propaganda.

I am just getting started on this journey but zigbee seems great and I like that it works fine even if the wifi goes down. I'm not sure what the drawbacks are or the benefits of Matter.

Hilarious that that account's made a single comment pushing back on classic lemmy hysteria/paranoia and then apparently left the platform.

Sure, but not by definition. Posting slop and spam is different than shitposting. This post is just slop.

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

"Shitposting" describes the act, not the content. Posting content "that took little to no effort" to produce is just spam. It doesn't matter if a human made it or not.

I don't like having to defend the Times, but the rumor is that they rushed this story out before Christopher Rufo could break the news (with what would almost certainly be a right-wing spin).

I doubt the Times would ever admit to publishing a story with the goal of hindering the formation of a right-wing narrative but in this case if they did, it might have been the right call as opposed to waiting for Rufo and publishing a "fact check" of his reporting later.
