    The company that created these cameras is called Flock. A group called DeFlock has a database of locations for all the ALPRs:

    https://deflock.me/

    They’re using @openstreetmap to source the data. And they have an app that you can fire up in your car that will hunt for Bluetooth signals from these cameras (unfortunately it’s Android only). They call this “wardriving.”

    When found, they’re queued up to be added to the database. So the map is growing each day.

    ICE is tapping into a nationwide AI-enabled camera surveillance system. Good times.

    https://www.404media.co/ice-taps-into-nationwide-ai-enabled-camera-network-data-shows/

    The good news is that these automatic license plate reader (ALPR) cameras are very hackable. And, of course, they’re easy to disable with some elbow grease.

    It’s illegal. But if someone wanted to, there are ways. Just saying. Ahem…

    There are myriad reasons the ALPRs are bad news. Even beyond ICE having access to them. They’re primed for mass surveillance.

    1. They track movements and store live location data indefinitely.
    2. The data is publicly-accessible. This has led to wrongful arrests, profiling, and cops stalking their ex-partners.
    3. Their system hasn’t yielded any meaningful prevention, reduction, or solving of crimes.

    TechCrunch has more details on this:

    Y’all. Mastodon has a new Terms of Service that’s problematic. I’m hoping and cautiously optimistic that they’ll sort it out. But for now it’s not good.

    @mcc wrote one of the best GitHub issues I’ve ever seen. It explains everything in great detail. Check it out if you want a full picture on the situation.

    Friends. I need help with a translation from Farsi to English for a moderation decision. It’s possible the translation tools aren’t accurate.

    Think we’re not in a police state? Think again.

    There is a violent, sociopathic, cosplay sheriff in Brevard County, FL.

    “Throw a brick, a firebomb or point a gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains at. Because we will kill you graveyard dead.”

    Murdered for throwing a brick? That’s legalized domestic terrorism, not policing.

    This is Lola. She loves to go for a ride in the car.

    But…

    Her favorite thing is actually returning home. She runs to the door, jolts inside, and jumps around all excited that the people she was already with are now home.

    Someone shared a low-quality meme of a laugh/cry emoji. Great idea, but not usable. So I custom designed my own version with care. And it’s hi-res.

    (My friend @paninid calls it a “lolsob,” which I love. He’s funny like that.)

    Here’s a PNG for you. If you want an SVG to add to your system’s emoji library, you can grab it from my @omgdotlol CDN:

    I’m a Jewish Atheist. Didn’t know Jewish identity can be ethnic without Judaism? There may be other things that surprise you about us.

    I also stand with Palestine. As do many Jews. Most of us aren’t Zionists, who are religions extremists.

    Whoa. A security cam in Myanmar captured an earthquake fault rupture live. This may be the first ever caught on camera?

    Watch the fence-line on the right. And note the power-line tower behind it.

      Earthquake rupture
      In seismology, an earthquake rupture is the extent of slip that occurs during an earthquake in the Earth's crust. Earthquakes occur for many reasons that include: landslides, movement of magma in a volcano, the formation of a new fault, or, most commonly of all, a slip on an existing fault. Nucleation A tectonic earthquake begins by an initial rupture at a point on the fault surface, a process known as nucleation. The scale of the nucleation zone is uncertain, with some evidence, such as the rupture dimensions of the smallest earthquakes, suggesting that it is smaller than 100 m while other evidence, such as a slow component revealed by low-frequency spectra of some earthquakes, suggest that it is larger. The possibility that the nucleation involves some sort of preparation process is supported by the observation that about 40% of earthquakes are preceded by foreshocks. However, some large earthquakes, such as the M8.6 1950 India – China earthquake., have no foreshocks and it remains unclear whether they just cause stress changes or are simply a result of increasing stresses in the region of the mainshock. Once the rupture...

    Regarding Meta’s camera glasses (not calling them “smart” because they’re not).

    In 2013 I worked on these glasses. Not Meta’s, but an Intel version. We killed the project after generative research. Why? Because it became clear how invasive they would be.

    We couldn’t find a way around that. So ethics said stop.

    Meta says they don’t care. Of course.
