I have a habit of using a flashlight to go to the toilet in hotels or unfamiliar places, so I don't stub my toe or other stupid stuff when doing the nightly toilet sleep walk.

So I grab the flashlight, point it around and notice a glint from the ceiling fan. The ceiling fan didn't have an IR remote so it didn't make sense and yup, sure enough it was a little lens that conveniently pointed towards the bed.

Fun thing: We actually signed a waiver that the house uses cameras, since there were a view regular ones on the perimeter for security, which seemed logical. That asshole really tried to play the "but you signed that you're okay with being filmed" card.

Stopped using them once my girlfriend and I found a hidden camera.

Sueing was much more stressful than just getting a regular hotel. Never again.

Thank you!

Could someone explain what I'm missing here? Seeing this for the first time and it just seems like random words.

We definitely need Blender in the mix as well!

Also Signal, Bitwarden and Firefox.

Coldest was probably -20 °C, hottest around 40 °C.

My comfort temperature is right around 15 °C. Anything higher than 20 °C and I start sweating.

My girlfriend wants to go to Egypt for vacation this year. That's going to be fun...

Most papers will be in PDF format and may contain colors as well. E-Ink is slowly getting there, especially with the rise of digital comics, but for the time being I wouldn't trade my iPad and Pencil combo.

I see what you mean, but there's also a large number of lurkers, who will only vote but never comment.

I don't think it's unfeasible to have a small number of comments on a highly upvoted post.

Nope, it's an absolute nightmare. The post basically outlines how you could feasibly exploit data across a majority of the Lemmy network without much effort at all.

With a bit more effort you could also link the Lemmy accounts to the users email, as becoming an admin is as simple as hosting your own instance and getting users to join.

Boom you have a business case of profiling people on Lemmy and selling those profiles to advertisers, stalkers and perverts alike.

It is a pretty big deal. What it essentially means is that you are completely exposed, if you pardon the pun.

And yes, absolutely everyone with basic IT skills has access to this data as it is shared across instances. All it takes is a couple minutes to deploy a docker image and boom, I'm somewhat of an admin myself.

The fact that this data is stored in plain is a major security and privacy issue that makes me rethink this platform.

"Curating" makes it sound like you are some kind of porn connoisseur.

Oh boy, some 14-year old finally got his first power-trip boner! Congratulations to him for bending over.

I hope the rest of you guys step back and let him enjoy the joys of modding alone or with other incompetent shills.
