… since founder Jamie Siminoff returned, the company has renewed its focus on using its products to prevent crime.

Siminoff said he came back because of the possibilities AI brings. With this technology, he believes neighborhood cameras could be used to virtually “zero out crime” within a year.

they can see your monitor fine with all the “security” software they put on the system.

Looks awesome! I’ma cross-post it to !gothindustrial@lemmy.world …

lel I’m a Latino in the US so I have to carry my US passport in case masked federal police snatch me into a van. I’m very careful about what I have on my phone. No way do I want to give those people a USB with anything on it.

“the USB has some kind of weird software on it, better detain him for questioning.”

dunno I don’t use mobile clients for piefed… I think there’s one but don’t know much about it.

I use prepaid cards for Twitch and similar online services. It’s great because they always try to dark-pattern you into subscriptions, but then they’re all plaintive when your account runs out and they don’t have a credit card to perpetually drain. (actually, it’s more like “stages of grief”… first it’s alarmist: “your payment has failed!!!” then it’s businesslike: “remember to re-subscribe!” THEN it’s plaintive: “(name of performer) misses you on Our Moneydraining Platform!” then it’s nostalgic: “remember the good times you had on Our Moneydraining Platform? It’s not too late to re-subscribe!”) However, there’s usually a slight extra charge for the cards.

Cash irl is great but a slight downside is making sure you’re always carrying enough. Also, if you drop it somewhere it’s just gone.

Piefed is awesome. I really like Scheduled Posts, as well as Feeds (which are collections of communities). There are only a couple reasons why keep my lemmy.world account: uploading images in comments is difficult in piefed, and I don’t think piefed supports custom preview for youtube videos yet. But I imagine those will be fixed at some point in the near future.
