Straight up telling the world that they’ll break the law…

They’re made by a laser 3D printer and they only move in an externally applied electric field. I don’t think we have to worry about anything like that anytime soon :)

If Trump was a worm and a few tens of micrometers long, then yes

Then provide a paywall free link from an archiver that doesn’t DDOS…

Thanks! I appreciate the archive link, although I think it’s OP’s job to provide it.

Paywalled

Only if all that information is collected and stored. Digital finance systems tend to track every transaction and keep a record of them (because of legal requirements among other reasons). With cash in an envelope a government can’t check all the info you suggested a year after the payment has happened, perhaps not even after a few days.

Hell yeah! Great to hear that

That can only happen if we stop giving a shit about impact factors (and remove it from legal hiring requierements in some countries) and when big name PIs stop giving excuses like ‘I want my research to be read’ as if that wouldn’t happen in the journals that are more appropriate for the topic they publish in.

csv is a pretty good data sharing format, but not very well suited for spreadsheets. Just because you can shove anything you want in there doesn’t mean you should.

I guess their own slop isn’t good enough as a communication platform

Wanted to test PieFed, mashed the keyboard for a bit. Turns out, PieFed is quite nice, maybe I should make another account with a proper username

Add more requirements to the contract that make these kinds of practices impossible/harder to pull off

What is nodeBB? A lemmy or piefed alternative or a whole different thing altogether?

So for a change a company is cleaning up after itself? That’s nice! (Not sure what’s up with the endless reminders that it’s not sharks)

Absolutely. Typically, the bigger the branding the more you pay for that and the less bang for buck you get. In second hand shopping I do often look at the brands though, because branded things are often better than no name items, but at the same price in that market (e.g. in kilo sales)

You mean wear something generic, unidentifiable and add some body armor?

Yep, that’s the direction I was thinking. The whole point of these cameras is to track people, including you, meaning that they can track everyone in the area before and after a camera is destroyed. It seems to me that the logical time to destroy a camera is when few other people are arround to stop/witness someone destroying a camera, but that also means there are few people to track and therefore it’s easier to single out whoever did it.

How would you take such a camera down without being spotted and tracked? Do they not look in all directions?

Not asking for all the technical details on how to take one down, just curious how so many can be taken down with so few arrests after. I guess it’s a matter of good disguises?

Apparently the threats are still sufficiently strong that the author dares not mention the company’s name :/
