I did a quick search today on the UniFi Russia situation.
First three links were to UniFi Community forum posts. All three were removed for breach of community guidelines.
Sounds about right. I mean, it is their pool. They don't want you pissing in it. But it's also a big red flag.

This is designed to tug on you heartstrings because it's about dogs but Amazon is fully admitting they have a private, nationwide security network that can look for people using AI pattern recognition and the reason they present it like this is to desensitize you to it.
This is dystopian as shit.

This is Millie. She has accurately predicted the winner of the Super Bowl three years running. Also knew Bad Bunny was going to bring out Lady Gaga, but no one bothered to ask her about that. 14/10 (TT: jo_jo177)

A massive new voter suppression bill could disenfranchise 21 million Americans before the midterms.
The GOP-led campaign to create barriers to voting follows a series of alarming White House statements telegraphing its intent to interfere with the 2026 midterm elections.

GOP fast tracks monster voter suppression bill that could disenfranchise millions by requiring proof of citizenship at polls
In the past few weeks, passing the legislation has been a unifying rally cry for Republicans, a welcome distraction from the party’s cratering public opinion polls.

That doesn't bother me, though.
What gets me is:
- No communication. They don't say what they see, or confirm they've done what I've asked.
- Not following directions. If I say click next, CLICK NEXT
- No common sense. "I typed my password, do I click Sign In"?
Server admin is so much easier.

Do you see the word Camera?

What's just above that?

This week, during a hearing on the proposed merger between Netflix and Warner Bros., Josh Hawley used his time to attack Netflix for "trans ideology."
Its the latest in a pressure campaign to get the platform to remove all trans characters.
The latest from our writer, S. Baum.

…but children’s programming that actively promotes the cisgender, heterosexual nuclear family is apparently not “indoctrination.”
