@Em0nM4stodonEm 
did awhile ago! Great feeling
Instead of a WhatsApp group or whatever, my two oldest friends and me have a private non-federated Mastodon instance running on my laptop for some time now 
It's all private and closed so only we 3 use it to communicate and share stories with each other!
You can just disable federation and set everything private so it becomes a little intranet for friends!
#Mastodon is really amazing 
If you own glasses that record people without their consent, we can't be friend, and please don't talk to me.
@Em0nM4stodonEm There is a silent or silenced issue about cameras in modern cars. If the US could force Tesla's compliance, they have a running surveillance fleet in Europe.
I've been really enjoying Strange Relics, a collection of pulp fiction novelas with spooky-archeological themes. The intro by Thornton and Soar is also really good. If you're into this sort of thing, you should check it out. All of the stories were new to me and that doesn't happen very often. #books #PulpFiction

@neptune22222Bo Morgan If you're filming people without their knowledge and consent (unless it's in the public interest like recording police work), this is still wrong and creepy.
And even for public interest reporting, your camera should be visible.

I agree with you, first off.
Also, I have no idea what the laws are like in Canada or anywhere else outside of the US.
That having been said…
Recording Video in Public Places
Recording video in public is generally permissible in places like public parks, city streets, and sidewalks, where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy. This means that if something is visible to the naked eye in a public space, you can record it. This principle extends to filming government buildings and the actions of public officials, like police officers, performing their duties in public.
This right does not extend into areas that, while publicly accessible, are considered private. The key determinant is the “reasonable expectation of privacy,” meaning you cannot use technology to see through the walls of a private home from a public street. The legal framework protects what people can plainly see, not what can be captured with invasive technology.
The Legality of Recording Audio
Capturing audio is governed by stricter laws than recording video alone, due to federal and state wiretapping statutes. The federal Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), often called the Wiretap Act, makes it illegal to intentionally intercept any wire, oral, or electronic communication. A violation of this act can lead to both criminal penalties and civil lawsuits.
The federal law, and the laws in a majority of states, operate under a “one-party consent” rule. This means you can legally record a conversation if you are a party to that conversation, as your participation implies your own consent. Most states and the District of Columbia follow this standard.
A number of states, however, have enacted more stringent “all-party consent” laws. In these jurisdictions, you must obtain permission from everyone involved in a private conversation to legally record it. States with all-party consent laws include:
- California
- Florida
- Pennsylvania
- Washington
If a conversation involves participants in different states, the best practice is to adhere to the strictest applicable law, which is the all-party consent rule.

Obligatory: I'm not a lawyer.
It seems to me like, at least most places in the U.S., the fact that it records video is a non-issue while in public, at least in the legal sense, but also like the fact that it records audio could very easily make it illegal in public.
@theShoe Bill In Europe, we have the right of personality (different from places). Even as a photographer in a session, I have to ask each one before, if I may take a photo. Best is a written model release as proof, otherwise you can be fined. Also, as a journalist, I may not take photos of several people or children in a crowd, if recognisable. I have to ask. Everything else is illegal and can be fined. It's to protect people. @Em0nM4stodonEm

@Em0nM4stodonEm 
@Furthering This should go without saying. I will not have a discussion with anyone wearing those glasses, let alone be friends with them. It's a serious invasion of privacy. Who the hell knows where the photos go?
Today in "Stories from a Coworking-Space":
The LLM bros a few tables away from mine are talking about the business plan for their 'revolutionary' slop machine.
One of them keeps saying 'market infestation' when talking about the market share they're dreaming of.
I don't think that he chose this particular wording as a result of critical deliberations. I think he likes it because it sounds aggressive.
But I also think 'infestation' describes the slop madness beautifully.

おはよー
【中道の小川新代表「９条改憲も有り得る」】みたいな記事が流れたので内容を確認したら、実際には下の画像のような内容でした。
別の所では「"イデオロギー的に反対"の人も納得するのでなければ反対」とも言っており、合併したての制約を抱えた政党党首としては充分踏み込んだ発言といって良いと思います。
画像の発言では、脱原発や安保法制等についても、いわゆるリベラルな立憲支持層を包摂する意思を表明しており、これまでの「釣った魚に…」の野田立憲よりはるかにまっとうな姿勢です。
であるにも関わらず、立憲支持層を刺激して離反させようとする趣の歪んだ報道が見られます。立憲に対するそのような報道はこれまでも多数あり、これからも絶えないでしょう。
小川代表の発言が明晰でないとの感想も聞きますが、急造合併した異なる２党の統合を図るのが至上の職務である以上、現時点で明晰にできないものを明晰にできないと注意深く答えているに過ぎず、至極適切と考えます。
異なる党の統合は日程ありきで強制できるものではありません。リベラルの包摂方針が明示された以上、為すべきは非難ではなく、合併相手を尊重した議論ではないでしょうか。

I'm unsure when we need to address the fact that something being illegal has not stopped this administration from doing illegal things and we need a different tactic to stop this nonsense.
There are just so many pictures of Mojo displaying his belly, because this is a kitty with absolute trust that tummies are for petting.
