  @eff@mastodon.social Amazon has been in the surveillance and data collection and data mining game for most of its years. They even tried to buy Roomba, which exists to send 3d images of your floor plan back to h.q. under the guise of cleaning. IOT was never about our convenience. It was always about surveillance. Do people really not know these things or are they waiting for the bandwagon to feel some kind of way? None of this is new. #surveillance #ring #amazon

  @statsguy@mas.to Consider an offgrid solar setup as opposed to a tie in grid. You might have to invest in a little more equipment up front, but ultimately, after gauging your energy needs, you could exist autonomous of the utility. Start by isolating a few circuits in the house to just run on your battery fed solar setup. Then slowly expand your array system and batteries or cut back on energy use until you don't need the utility provider. Just a suggestion.

  @FeloniousPunk@beige.party Dude just put one leg of some stockings over the vent opening to catch the lint and lay it on the floor. The heat will blow out and rise. We've done that for years.

  @jik I don't usually engage on these online topics, but... May 13, 1985. Philly. Move. I was 9. They dropped a bomb from a helicopter on a house and destroyed a whole city block. They also controlled the narrative. No cavalry came. No justice served. Just lives and property destroyed under the guise of a manufactured threat. We're not new to this. That's why some of us are just detached from it all.
