Police get caught committing crimes via hidden (or non-hidden, LOL) cameras all the time.

The same is true for corporations (and plain old abusive bosses).

Where I live, a company was caught making plans for illegal dumping (toxic waste) thanks to a hidden camera worn by a whistleblower.

The most recent news about hidden cameras catching corporate misbehavior are mostly related to meat processing plants. In Texas, I believe they passed an unconstitutional law a few years ago banning people from recording (in public) near factory farms and meat processing plants.

All this illegal/evil behavior was foiled thanks to hidden cameras.

This is why I firmly believe in "one party" laws. Look that up if you don't know what it means.

    This post has triggered my outrage!

    ...because this is totally normal database stuff. Like, where's the meat? My phone could handle 500 million rows of data. Is that supposed to be a lot?

    I'm not exaggerating about the phone part: A modern smartphone can handle an SQLite DB with billions of records (aka "ROWS", LOL).

    Regular Linux running KDE (e.g. Kubuntu) is vastly superior to those streaming TV devices that run Android.

    Just get a wireless keyboard and a regular wireless mouse. You won't be disappointed.

    KDE lets you increase the default zoom level for all applications to something like 225% without fucking everything up.

    You'll still need to go into your Firefox settings to increase the zoom level there, but those two places cover 99.999% of all streaming use cases.

    Big Block of Cheese Day finally became prophecy! 😭

    I shall gather my team and walk fast through the halls in remembrance of a wonderful show that was almost entirely based on wishful thinking.
