did… you mean bullock?

No one said fighting fascism would be easy

You could however find a store that does not entertain the notion of purchasing flock AI surveillance cameras.

harm reduction.

Just out of curiosity I did check

Kroger’s Privacy Policy

in select Texas stores we may collect biometric information such as a facial recognition data, when you enter our stores for security purposes, to protect the health and safety of our customers and associates, and to prevent, investigate, and prosecute shoplifting, fraud, and other criminal activities. We provide notice at the point of entry in locations where we collect biometric information.

So, only in Texas and theyre supposedly not trying to hide it ? at least for facial recognition. ALPR isn’t specifically mentioned in Kroger’s privacy policy, although this line implies it’s not entirely off the table

Sensory data such as CCTV recordings from our facilities or premises or photos. Some of our cameras may capture license plate data for security purposes, to protect the health and safety of our customers and associates, and to prevent, investigate, and prosecute shoplifting, fraud, and other criminal activities. We may record your voice when you contact our customer service centers.

its about ea nasir the ancient scam artist of copper.

title says home depot. relevant. if they had said hardware store, then you would be correct there would be no reason to have posted the comment.

I love punching down and downplaying the importance of sharing information.

I will now be using those tools I was talking about. I dont need a privileged baby toddler crying to me about how hard it is to see that someone is trying to spread information that is genuinely useful.

Good job not denying being straight up ablest btw.

Lowes also does it.

The only person being socially inept is the Non-American trying to tell an American that they should not share information of American oppressors with other Americans. The Non-American who went out of their way to call out and use a term that is commonly associated with the neuro-divergent for no reason other than to get a dig in, and make assumptions based on stereotyping.

Sorry buddy, I’m not changing. You are privileged. You are the “White Moderate” that Martin Luther King Jr wrote about in his letter in Birmingham Jail. What you see as an inconvience, others see as life saving information. Again, don’t want to see it? You have the tools to fix it. Use them. You can complain about seeing activism after activism is no longer needed.

Nobody cares

yeah. okay. I’m sure your world view is absolutely the standard and no one ever disagrees with you.

Inside the AI police tech firm whose data is being fed to ICE

it’s your special interest. It ain’t ours.

If it bothers you so much, use the fucking built in filters. Block me. Do not make it my problem that you are choosing to ignore all of the safeguards put in place by the developers.

Post is about someone going to home depot. most people are not reading the privacy policy for the shops they go to. I do. I make others aware.

Not sure how a comment about the store the post is about isnt relevant.

Home Depot uses Flock ALPR cameras to track you. This information is sold to advertisers, highest bidders, and is given to cops and feds for free. Source

Read the paragraph again. This time with your eyes.

It was originally developed in 2003 as a continuation of the Red Hat Linux project… It is now the upstream source for CentOS Stream and Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Did you notice how it says “Red Hat Linux Project” and then goes on to say “Red Hat Enterprise Linux”?

This is because RHL != RHEL.

From the Hyperlink on the Wikipedia page for RHL:

Red Hat Linux was a widely used commercial open-source Linux distribution created by Red Hat until its discontinuation in 2004.

OP is correct. You are mistaken for thinking RHL was RHEL. It is not.

No one anywhere is daily driving a fully Foss OS, unless you can find someone running a GNU+Linux RISC-V PC, and is using it daily (sitting in front of it with keyboard & mouse or handicap equivalent) in some sort of non-automated desktop use fashion. Also they can’t access like 99.9% of the web.

x86-64 instruction set is proprietary. ARM is proprietary. The drivers within your smart phone modem are proprietary (unless you are someone who is using mainline PostMarketOS, which I have high doubts about)

In this day and age we’re mostly doing harm reduction. Android is harm reduction compared to iOS, just as GrapheneOS is harm reduction compared to AOSP. Maybe some day in the gay space communism future we can have pure fully Foss devices, but until then, we are stuck with harm reduction.

I’m ngl the original family guy joke wouldve worked just as well in this meme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alUzaMtvAPk

The federal government promises this surveillance saves 9,000-10,000 lives annually.

Wikipedia says roughly 42k people died of car related injuries in 2022.

So, the government is promising that this brand new technology that has not had any field testing whatsoever is going to reduce car related deaths by 23%?

They’re lucky theres no way to sue over a broken promise.

Here’s a great way to reduce car deaths to near 0%

functional public transit.

I’m not white.

It didnt come off to me as not believing that anal bleaching =/= white supremacy.

The reason I responded was because I thought it was misinformation. The lecture was because I wanted to get the point across that it will confuse people, and I was personally worried some people may just blindly believe the answer without critical thought. Misinformation kills.

I do want you to have fun though. All people against white supremacists deserve to have fun.

You did say

Kidding, of course.

but immediately followed it up with

If you want a white asshole, you can just express empathy for anyone not white, and one will appear 🤷🏻

which lead me to believe the joke part was unrelated to anal bleaching and the intended joke was Ha, aren’t white supremesists stupid and annoying? which, yeah they are. The topic of white supremacy in and of itself is completely unrelated and shoehorned into the conversation though.

Saying “Kidding”, making people think you aren’t being serious that bleaching your anus is a white supremacist behavior, and then saying “White Supremists will show up if youre empathetic to a non-white” subverts that expectation and re-enforces the idea that you believe anal bleaching is white supremacist behavior.

If the joke was supposed to be set up in a way where you did not actually believe anus bleaching was white supremacist behavior, it was structured poorly. The first part where you said

Justh white supremacy stuff 🤷🏻

wasn’t really even a joke. You weren’t set up to say that and subvert expectations within the context. I’m sure such a joke couldve worked here, but the way it was executed was doomed to fail. Kind of like white supremacists.

Anyone can bleach their anus if they wanted to, its not a racial thing. If anything, the desire to do so would be body dysmorphia, as its an individuals choice due to feeling like their body doesnt look how they want it to. I am all for shitting on white supremacists but unless you have information that links anal bleaching to white supremacy in some form this just seems like you put the cart before the horse.

Actually, Steve Harvey took it
