Oh dear, leopards ate my face again! Trump 2028!

With few exceptions, ICE and the GOP are targeting protesters and brown people. As a rule they aren’t GOP voters.

Germany 1933 (Wikipedia): The election saw Nazi stormtroopers unleash a widespread campaign of violence against the Communist Party (KPD), left-wingers, trade unionists, the Social Democratic Party, and the Centre Party. They were the last multi-party elections in a united Germany until the all-German vote in 1990, though by 1933, the democratic process had ceased to be free or fair.

The GOP using ICE has already unleashed a widespread campaign of violence and IMO they’re well on the way to making sure the democratic process no longer exists in 2026.

Let’s give credit where credit is due - This is what the GOP wants. They have complete ownership of ICE’s terrorist activities and applaud what is being done.

Republicans could reign this in in a couple of days if ICE didn’t have their blessing. The same is true if our corporate/billionaire media began referring to what’s happening as GOP, rather than ICE activity.

The Nazis used IBM, the GOP use Palantir.

FIFY: Jeff Bezos said the quiet part out loud - hopes that you’ll give up you won’t be able to afford a PC and will be forced to rent one from the cloud

Bezos would sell oxygen subscriptions if he could.

An older friend of mine had early onset Alzheimer’s. Her sister repeatedly asked her for loans knowing full well my friend couldn’t remember giving her that money after a few days. The sister drained my friend’s retirement account of $110k before we got involved and put a stop to it, and she left my friend with a huge IRS tax bill.

Other friends quickly learned that involving their families in their lives was a very bad idea because there was no situation they couldn’t make worse. They grew up without any family support at all despite having living parents and siblings. Figuring everything out by themselves definitely made their lives much harder.

By contrast some of my neighbors and other friends have wonderful families. They see their family members constantly and really enjoy the time they spend together. Best of all they do everything they can to support each other and it makes all of their lives better.

You’re right, it’s like winning the lottery.

I posted about a long known Microsoft practice with a link to one of dozens of 3rd party articles about that practice. You objected to the very idea Microsoft would do something like this, and without doing the slightest bit of research (or apparently even clicking the link) responded, “Now it’s just Microsoft bad! Trust me bro!”

You fucking “cool it with the attitude.”

BTW - I’d have no problem providing links for something difficult to research, but this isn’t much more difficult than asking Google the time. You are evidentially capable of typing, so “for the love of all that is holy” open a new tab and ask Google yourself.

Qualified Immunity does not protect the ICE Gestapo when they violate Constitutional rights. Hopefully each and every one of these assholes will spend the rest of their lives trying to stay out of jail and avoid civil suits. Or better yet in jail.

You may not even need the Coral. I moved from a old system with an ancient CPU and usb Coral to a small laptop with a Intel N200 processor. With Frigate running in Docker the N200’s object detection is just as fast as the Coral with almost no impact on CPU utilization.

So, it’s easy to point fingers at a scary sounding sub-system and scream, but has anyone done any true analysis of what the feature actually does?

There’s this search engine called Google and it magically returns lists of technical articles from sources who have done exactly that.

Now it’s just Microsoft bad! Trust me bro!

Microsoft’s keylogging started with a Windows 7 update and has been well documented for over a decade, but I’m sure you can find something more to your liking from a Youtube paid shill who will tell you how great Microsoft is.

Oh, don’t worry your little head. Microsoft is taking very special care of all your passwords and nothing bad can happen.

But seriously, I would be shocked if Microsoft’s password stores weren’t already hacked. I think at some point Windows users are going to wake up to some very unpleasant news.

I believe Frigate can do all that, but you’re looking a huge investment of time to duplicate your Blue-Iris configuration. If it were me I’d be tempted to put up with Windows until something forced a change.

I use to feel the same way. The older I get the more convinced I am that the only thing worse than having no family is having a family.

My brother’s a textbook malignant narcissist who will literally lecture everyone around him about how great he is. He pulls shitty, manipulative BS, lies about his behavior with a straight face and then does it again the next day.

My brother is what he is and there’s nothing he could ever say or do that would convince me otherwise.

Why anyone is OK with Microsoft’s key logging of everything including passwords is beyond me.

Frigate’s setup is a bit fussy at first but is well worth the time and effort. I’ve been running 2 instances for two years and can count the number of false positives on one hand.

Everything is projection with Magats.

It’s also possible to configure Linux to automatically pause a Virtualbox VM when the window is not in focus so Windows doesn’t keep burning CPU cycles when not actually in use.

I’ve tried various methods to run a couple Windows programs I use occasionally and most reliable method I’ve found (without buying a commercial package like Crossover) is a VM. With a decent multi-core processor and enough memory the only downside I’ve found is it makes my laptop run warm.
