Jobs program for mediocre men and middling security software/appliance contractors, like TSA.

If we can just hammer the “You are surveilling the entire county to solve 4 fucking crimes? And it costs us how much?” we might be able to get it struck out as a dead-end tech that yields little results for the compromise in privacy we pay in exchange.

but something I have been wanting to see is a breakdown of where Flock was key to getting a conviction vs just another piece of evidence vs the times it’s been used and netted no useful results, so we can discuss numbers and metrics when it comes to permitting/renewing contracts

I would love to see a breakdown at some point of cases that used Flock evidence, designating where Flock was Key to the case vs part of a larger stack of evidence, and then be able to compare that to the rest of the searches.
Obviously not demanding as an obligation ofc, but -cont-

I know you said charitable, but just how charitable are we talkin? As in evidence from the cameras directly solved the case or was just a part of the larger case that already had plenty of evidence?

Something something putting the armory in polyamory

To add on this, they are going all in AND not scaling up production over bubble concerns, so they don’t end up with a glut from overproduction once this revenue option falls out.

So consumers are all just Fucked in the meanwhile as everyone waits for the bubble to pop 🥴

I think the traffic camera goes too far and they should put in a speed bump instead

If god has a plane and we got rid of our downtown building height limits, this doesn’t bode well for the future :(

I wonder if we need lists that block commenters and other accounts that engage with the govt accounts.

Maintaining such a list would probably define the shape off trollfarm botnets really well to boot, indirectly document the scope of harassment perpetrated on behalf of the govt tbh

(To expand a bit, I have a pet theory that a specific private equity firm is waving money in front of different orgs and people and is deliberately trying to push more fashtech out there into the news cycles for open source, and DHH is one such vehicle for achieving that)

Does anyone know if Framework got a series of funding from some FashTech private equity firm?

The focus on Omarchy despite the clear warning signs feels like it is coming from an investor push from the same type of private equity that keeps the Fireship yt channel pushing the same flavor of project

Go fash lose cash 👊🇺🇸🔥
