The other time should be deleted before I posted this one, because I forgot the “40s”

One of the big controversies is that these companies do have access to cameras on private property, using things like ring doorbell cameras.
And depending on conditions, you can still track the movement of something smaller than a pixel. Smaller than a pixel doesn’t mean invisible, it affects the color of that pixel and you can track the movement of the disrupted pixel.
And you have to actually get close enough you the camera lens to damage it, so there is continuity; they’re not just looking at a strange color pixel and leaping to the conclusion that it is a drone, they see the drone flying off into the distance (in reverse) and cross reference it with other cameras to track the movement at a distance.

It’s a lot of effort, but protecting the investments of the wealthy is one of the only things that will mobilize both the finances of the wealthy and the actual effort of the police.

I mean if they can track a car around the city using their cameras, they can probably do the same for a drone. Even if you fly up out of view they could look for drones in a radius flying down into view and connect the dots.

That’s an expensive way to get rid of a single camera, and they could theoretically track a drone around the city like they track people, and they’d track it back to you.

Fair

Possibly, but I don’t wanna risk my freedom on them being incompetent rather than corrupt.

Idk, I think they can probably do a reasonable job tracing a drone back to it’s takeoff location, and then tracking the person who brought it there back to their home, with decent coverage.

That said I don’t know if I’m overestimating their ability regarding machine learning and AI - this is probably fairly labour intensive unless they’ve done a good job preparing all their data and they have plenty of compute.

I mean the whole point of flock is that they can track you everywhere. Destroying their cameras doesn’t destroy the footage.

If you destroy their cameras they will just trace your movements backwards until they find a way to identify you.

You need to find a way to do it surreptitiously so it’s not clear who is doing it, and they won’t be able to figure it out by process of elimination by seeing who is commonly present when a camera iss destroyed.

L’Oréal (Garnier), but probably all of em tbh

Whomever made this hadn’t hit puberty by the early 2000s, because thongs were everywhere. They even made a song about it.

It’s not the cost.

The nicer shampoo is made by a company that supports the IDF

Bro your dick supposed to get drained, not do the draining.

The reply I made doesn’t depend on the definition of imperialism because the comment I was replying to wasn’t refuting that definition of imperialism.

I was pointing out that their argument boiled down to “yeah well that doesn’t count because the USA does it too”.

Idk why you’re trying so hard to be an asshole, but you’re putting words in my mouth and then insulting me about them.

Hold up.

I think that mobile phones became popular before chat rooms.
Chat rooms existed first, but I think that they were mostly just for nerds until the early to mid 2000s

You sound like an asshole, fyi

You can pry my lol from my cold dead fingers lol

As I’ve said repeatedly what China is doing is better than what the USA is doing. But that’s bar is so low that it’s buried under the ground. Being better than the USA doesn’t make them beyond criticism and doesn’t make it good. The lesser of evils is still evil.

I’m aware.
But practically, that’s a difference without distinction. The majority of the rest of the world considers Taiwan to be a sovereign nation, and Taiwan has been acting as such for a long time. Functionally, that argument is the same as Russia is making with Ukraine, and technicalities over academic language doesn’t change that.

North Korea and South Korea are de facto separate countries, even though their civil war technically didn’t end. If the south invaded the North, that’d be the same.
