Yeah, it’s a new channel they started late last year, I’m starting to watch it more than kurzgesagt though I was already a big fan

I’m a fan of this channel; they talked about this recently.

Looks like they used AI specifically to upscale the original images, or get a different angle, or remove something they didn’t like in the original image.

Great to have browser that’s not using Chromium, I like having another WebKit browser in the wild that’s not Safari.

If you look at the detail in the ghosty wasp, it’s clear that it’s just an edited image of a wasp pasted onto a fig

I just set up something for my sibling, and had to make it super easy. I’ve thought about yuno host, but I ended up using runtipi because it does use docker underneath it all but you don’t ever have to see that.

From my limited experience it was super easy and a pleasure to use, I’m considering using it instead of my current portainer setup.

I think they’re just partying about it, just like those crabs

Time for privacy burkas for everyone

[–] Prontomomo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

That’s one way to handle it, destination walking to places with less spy devices around. I might get some beefier calves!

Yeah I remember hearing about Amazon sidewalk when it was announced but haven’t tracked it since. Definitely makes me more upset, but knowledge is power and I’ll have to consider how I handle my on-hand devices now, thanks!

Glad to know I’m not the only one. I’ve actually thought about how this is effecting mail carriers, but never got the opportunity to hear that side. I would be really conflicted in that position too, I bet that was a really hard thing to decide on, but good on you for doing something since it was so disturbing.

For sure, always about balance, but I’ll take away any extra data points about me that I can even if I’m not able to eliminate all of them. I do a lot of things to limit my private data exposure, but no matter who you are there’s always a line for what you’re willing to do.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I’m just curious about the perspective of others.

 

Looking for some perspective on this, interested how y’all think about it and if I’m isolated in my concerns.

I’ve grown to be a bit anxious when I’m out and about in any neighborhood. The wide use of doorbell cameras that connect to the internet and save data on company servers, listen in to your conversations, and could be used for spying on you as an individual gives me a sinking feeling.

I like walking around, I walk my dogs around the neighborhood and I know my neighbors. I’ve started being so aware that it’s changing my habits. I don’t turn my face towards houses while I’m walking if I notice a doorbell camera, and I’ve put my shirt over my face when dropping off something to a neighbor who has one. I probably gave them a fright but I don’t feel like I should’ve expected to be OK with you surviving me in a way that compromises my privacy that expansively. I’m considering keeping a bandana with me to cover my face if I need to go up to a door, but of course that would make people think I’m a bad actor and just a paranoid privacy nut.

I feel a bit like Winston in the 1984 novel, always feeling watched and trying to find an isolated corner where I can’t be seen. How have y’all been feeling on this? Would love to get perspective, thanks
