Same goal of body cameras, but we all see how that turned out.

The blue wall of silence is real, If there is a way to hide misconduct from anyone along the chain, they absolutely will do so.

Also who is out stalking cops? They notoriously have guns and very little self control over pulling the trigger

This morning my COMM professor declared she saw it with her kids and it was a masterpiece, despite not having played Minecraft and "not caring that much for Jack Black"

Edit: since this post I've gone and seen the movie with some friends. While it's not gonna be an award winner for their acting, it was still a really fun movie to watch.

I'm glad I saw it in theaters. There was a handful of older kids (like 15 ish) in the back having an absolute blast and the vibe was electric. The movie got a good laugh out of us a number of times. I saw it mentioned that Jack Black was "phoning it in" but I thought he did an amazing job. I went into this movie fully expecting to watch a shit show but was pleasantly surprised. Overall I'd absolutely recommend anyone to go and see it while it's still in theaters

Their example of what a game chat sounds like in Mario Kart is ridiculous

"Let's make a left up here"

My brother in Christ you are on a track, you go where it tells you to go

Also not enough swearing, insults, and slurs

Seeing people say "GrapheneOS fixes this!" "It's only on old versions of Android!"

Device Info HW app that can read my applications

Permissions requested (viewed in Google Play, lack of any "read applications" permission)

Permissions granted in settings app, still lacking any "read applications" permission

This is on a Pixel 8 Pro with the latest version of GrapheneOS. This is an issue and has been for a long time. Many apps detect root by looking for the Magisk package using this method, and many collect this information just for advertising (go ahead, export your Snapchat data)

Google domains bit me in the ass. No way they'd shut that down, I told myself.

Giving them your genetic data was fine, but your birthday was too much?

No, The OneNote UWP app is going away ("OneNote for Windows 10"), OneNote itself is still a part of office & still maintained

Tradeoff between speed & accuracy vs the amount of fingerprints. The data that would've been required to store a 5th is instead used to have better models of the other 4. Id rather have a faster reader that'll read it right in more angles than an extra fingerprint when I only really use my thumb and index anyway. (Also you can totally train 2 different fingers in one "finger" and it'll recognize both, just worse
