A little off-topic: when will map makers, and Google and OSM start reflecting the obvious ground reality in Ukraine. I mean nobody knows where the upto the second line of control is, but obviously a lot of area is totally under Russian control. If we can have two maps for India (1 what India claims, and the other ground reality), why not the same for Ukraine? Current maps are seriously misleading.

If only those games weren't infested with micro/macro transactions to manipulate players out of their money in the first place. Mobile gaming is a cesspool of ads, gambling, greed, data collection, and bullshit all of which has been slowly spreading like a cancer to gaming on every other platform for decades. I'm not happy about Apple and Google demanding a cut of the action either, screw them too, but making these tactics even more profitable for shitty mobile game devs isn't going to benefit players.

At least they give the user the option to pay or not pay, unlike Apple that forces developers to not have any other option.

Most crypto coins (not Monero) are pseudonymous. If a particular bitcoin wallet comes to somebody's attention they can investigate hassle anybody that this person tries to trade with, tell exchanges not to redeem cash, etc.

Thing is these tactics aren't just available to the authorities but also to anyone like intelligence agencies, the mafia, etc. so the confidentiality problems are much much worse with crypto.

> tell exchanges not to redeem cash

Try telling it to Chinese, Russian, Indian exchanges.

Unpopular opinion: Paper ballots with in person voting (with an ID) is the only 100% fool proof and verifiable voting system. Everything else could be manipulated or hacked. And when there's trillions of dollars and world power on the line, it's just a matter of time when the "could be" turns to "would be".

Nearly an aside, but:

Why are people still installing security cameras that are monitored by them? They increase stress level and felt insecurity. They do not make you feel secure, say psychological studies. You probably think more about burglaries and dead spaces in your setup and actively monitor for these in your daily lives, where for 99.8 % of people this should be a non-topic.

If you want to install them for later police work, that still seems tedious and you might require off-site backup. In public places we often have CCTV of people, but unless you have number signs on vehicles, they seem to not help with conviction rates by much.

You can integrate it with home assistant to send notification on your phone (or run any other automation) when it detects any specified objects.

I have set it to send me notification if any person is detected in my front yard, drive way or back yard after I have "armed" my alarm at night. I am thinking of also sounding am alarm on my home speakers.

Frigate, when configured properly, has a really low false positive rate. I have only seen 2-3 false positives in the past one year. And if rarely ever misses. So it's something you can rely on.

So you'll agree with the following?:

Because we live in black crime culture and blacks do violently attack whites on much greater scale than the other way around. You don’t have to be even necessarily evil for that, honestly just some normalised behaviour in some black people can be enough to become a criminal for white people.

4Chan suggested a better name BodyCountr. Where you rate woman on how high their respective bodycount is.

Totally valid. If men can be shamed for number of sexual partners they have (I'm talking about calling someone an incel), so should be women.
