I do know a few young people are tech/programming wizards but "generally tech savy" people seem to be declining. It's either you're really into it or barely know anything outside popular apps.

I feel like we also got a new kind of guy, the tech-forward digital illiterate. They run most of everything.

All I'm getting out of this is further proof that the "general publics" sense of safety exists entirely removed from anything fact based

Considering you said you're german, I think the whole Idea of "Ehrenamt" and subsidiaries of it runs counter to the entire system that has been built. If we monetize everything, I think it's fine that people get paid for taking time out of their day and bodies to do good shit.

Basically, don't do unpaid labour in this system?

IR Smoke Detectors with IOT would do the trick here and seem a likely choice on account of they didn't include some bullshit about AI recognition, but it also makes them hilariously easy to game. Just spray some axe near it, you know us teenage boys, we smell. Or hell, dust.

also bypasses anyone in the IT Department having a shred of conscience because you don't even gotta really connect to the local network

It seems largely fallen out of favour but I'm genuinely wondering how Teamspeak is still going and hasn't succumbed to enshittification

I mean that's at least usually by choice. You don't tend to accidently be a landlord for long.

But like, I dunno, call center cold calling people or something? I'm not sure telling people feeling horrible about having to do it that it's real and valid. Like sorry for them but also let's not pretend here, we'll never get to solving it otherwise

I mean yeah probably but you gotta have a certain je ne sais quoi to pull that shit off. it's hard. but when it works it's so good

absolutely perfect useage of the word "visage" here, really adds to it

This feels like cybersecurity cosplay

you want a kilswitch on a camera you go for a slideable plastic covering, like most laptops have, because you can't hack "being able to look through solid objects" into a phone camera

why would this just be an electronic disconnect. Love to bee concerned enough about privacy to not trust google, but I do trust random kickstarter that they wire their phones up properly and also that it gets to me with no intervention
