Cutting these things down is fine and all, more power to you. In decently sized cities, they’ll just replace them and it becomes a game of whack-a-mole. Go to noalprs.com and sign up - look for a local group and show up to city hall. If your town isn’t on the map, create a group. There has been enormous success by pointing out the privacy risks, security failures, potential for abuse, 3rd party data collection, etc. When a contract is cancelled, ALL those cameras go down. Seriously, sign up and fight. Angry folks at town halls make change.
American here. It genuinely pains me to see what little goodwill we had left in the world be squandered by the Turd Reich. Seeing your neighbors vote this totalitarian wannabe in a second time, embrace the hateful propaganda fed to them, as everything becomes unaffordable and AI datacenters, Flock cameras, and prison camps filled with innocent immigrants litter the landscape . So many of us are fighting back however we can. Those of us using legal means see the rules quickly changed to thwart us. Those using less legal means are vindictively prosecuted while pedophiles in power are left in peace. I don’t fault the rest of the world for turning their backs on us - it’s justified.
Please know that the regular people here still love our neighbors to the north and don’t want the longstanding friendship between our countries to die. We don’t want to annex Canada (nor Greenland). We’re sorry and are desperately trying to fight against this cancer that’s killing our country.
Tucker! They never really got their footing but had some really innovative features that took decades for the industry to fully adopt. I’d be interested to see what they would be producing if they were around today.
I like the feel of it, but eopkg really holds it back. I found that many of the apps I rely on weren't an option with either native packages nor flatpak. I went over to CachyOS and found it less polished but the options for package deployment were much better. I guess the real question is what kind of use case you have.
Who wouldn't want to temporarily become a cyborg velociraptor? Honestly, it's probably cheaper than a fursuit these days. Gaming chairs would be an issue though.
It was such a blessing to not have every aspect of your life monetized by shadowy tech billionaires. I see that now. You could simply exist as a person without worry that something or someone would gather the most intimate details of your existence to sell to the highest bidder so they could better psychologically manipulate your purchasing decisions. If you wanted, you could disappear for a while to recharge in solitude - no cellphone cataloging where you are, no cameras generating records of your movements. Friendships were more solid. These were people like you that sought connection whether it was an activity or common experience. There were whole seasons when you were free to roam about and socialize or not, there was no expectation of you being productive every waking moment. It was a time when science and technology felt exciting - the next new discovery or invention would be something that would improve our lives. Computers were simple by todays standards and were centered around what YOU wanted to do with them, not just a conduit to shovel content to consume. It was an exploratory experience and you felt so accomplished when you got the hang of the interface. I can barely recall the feeling of knowing there was a brighter future ahead of you and that there were others in this world who cared and reached for it too.
Fuck, I'm crying as I write this. I'm mourning a world that no longer exists and can't ever again.
That's the gist of it. Furcadia was an early world-building game that provided the tools for users to expand the map with public and private spaces to socialize and roleplay in. There are some simple minigames throughout but not defined questlines nor goals to perform. Users are free to create their own though. The focus is very much on cozy spaces to hang out with friends in virtual space.
I checked last night and there were 460 "furres" logged in. So it's still a thing albeit niche.
You’ll need to use your 5th.

One of those viruses is Windows.
Falconry. I mean, it looks bad ass but then you have to acquire maintain an avian predator that is expensive and likely hates you.
