Reply to Predictions for 2021? by Rambler
I believe our freedoms are going to continue to be systematically taken away in the name of “health” and “safety.”
Many of my friends and family seem to think this viral fraud will just disappear, but the elite (whoever you think they are) are not going to waste this crisis. It worked better than they expected and will be the segue into the one world order they so desperately desire.
I put my hope in Christ, so I’m frustrated by what I see coming, but believe a reshuffling of power has to happen to get us to the end of the age.

It's definitely faster now! I was surprised and initially thought it was my I2P router than suddenly decided to speed up..
I'm happy to see that. Glad to see that it's fast on your end as well.

So security cams at a train station aren't an issue because technically no one is forced to use this public facility? Whether someone is forced to attend school or not doesn't change that a school is part of your public life, not of your private life. Teachers and other students will be able to look at you, what difference does it make whether a camera is pointed at you or not?
No one is forced to turn on their own webcam, either. It's just a thing that benefits everyone, so most people do it. Reading peoples faces is very helpful in conversations, just like it is to hear their voice.
The point isn't to have students look at a camera, it's to have the camera look at the student. The benefit is that software can notice when a student stops paying attention. Or discover cheating during tests. Or bullying. Teachers can work with this feedback to improve and students can be reprimanded based on this.
It's not very helpful for other things, but during my time I would have very much appreciated something like this, if it could help in suppressing the students not interested in learning. Those were the biggest obstacles back in elementary school. It is very unfortunate that there are no immediate repercussions for bad students. Pointing a camera at each students face could act first as a deterrent towards bad behaviour and second as evidence for the consequences the student will experience, especially for their parents.

There was facial recognition tech in school? Are all children assumed to be guilty now? Just throw them in jail at birth then.

It's a public institution you are forced to go to.
Because of corona lots of children had classes from home with a camera pointed at their face, anyway
Once again, forced. Forcing people to do one thing and then justifying something else because "obviously they're OK with the latter" is not a very good argument.
Do you think forcing somebody to look at a camera means:
- they will comprehend what's being said
- they will hear what is being
- that they are paying attention
- that the material they are being show is good
?

The reason people are OK with video meetings is due to control over your environment. You can disable you camera. You can spoof it with software.

The operator says that the hackers got customers' name, surname, phone number, email, date and place of birth, nationality, and address. They also have the SIM Integrated Circuit Card Identification Number (ICCID) - a unique number providing the card's country, home network, and identification.
Combined, these details can be used for SIM-swapping attacks that enable hackers to assign a victim's phone number to a SIM card in their possession and thus receive the target's calls and text messages.
Well, that's not good.

Reply to Would you post on a forum that has an embedded element that calls a 3rd party style sheet that's hosted on a forum member's personal site? by Rambler
Don't ublock and umatrix block resources from external sites by default? The whole website might show up as a jumbled mess for me. I always try to keep the number of 3rd party request low and especially if the website isn't important to me, I'd stop using it if it required too many external resources.
Plus, if they're that lax about security, who knows what else is lurking? Wouldn't surprise me if their ssh user and password were admin:passw0rd!
or something.
P.S I'm glad that's not what you were suggesting to use here because then I'd have quit immediately.

A school is a public institution, though, and the classroom isn't somewhere you have privacy in the first place. Because of corona lots of children had classes from home with a camera pointed at their face, anyway, so I don't see a camera pointing at your face during class as a privacy issue.

That sounds like a terrible idea. Everyone should have the right to privacy.

What would the use case be, anyway? Maybe like what they did in China, where every student has a dedicated face camera that notices when the student stops paying attention. A teacher can't look at every student at the same time or all the time, but a camera can. That would be a really useful application.

Pretty clearly a justified shooting, but let's see what the community burns in protest tonight. Though they may need to, to stay warm. It's winter, after all.

Reply to Stingray Tracking Devices: Who's Got Them? by Rambler
The map/article is from 2018, so it's a bit dated. But it's safe to assume that if your state had it in 2018, that it likely still does. If anyone knows of a more recent or up-to-date map/resources, feel free to submit it.
