General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

The supplier, 30Seconds Group, says the cameras allow them to track “occupant engagement” from residents who are a “captive audience” as they wait for lifts to their apartments.

JFC, how do these people sleep with themselves at night.

Now I'm not saying that hammers exist for a reason...

Vandalising something that can record you might not be the smartest thing

Certainly could be one way to see if they're telling the truth about the cameras not being on

Chewing gum & bubble gum sound like a good compromise…

Contains too much DNA.

Use sticky labels. If you can find asset tag labels, even better. These are almost impossible to remove without destroying the surface beneath.

Use an infrared flashlight to blind cameras from capturing your face while you apply the labels. IR flashlights can be made from the LEDs in old TV and air conditioner remote controls and old recycled security cameras.

Be sure to leave a few spare sticky labels in common areas for others to use, too.

I like your thinking

The audacity of that screen telling you how you are allowed to use your balcony. Oh sure, it's your balcony, but keep nothing on it and don't hang out laundry on it..

Can't wait for them to start pairing digital billboards with license plate cameras so you get personalized ai generated ads with your dead grandma in them on your way to work.
