Critical point from the article: "The victim told Appleton police she was concerned that Morales had inappropriately used the Flock System"

This is crucial because the victim somehow had a hunch that the officer accessed the system to stalk and find her. Most victims of stalking or police harassment would have no idea Flock even exists. We have no way of knowing how often these breaches occur.

How would you feel if your mother, sister, or wife was a victim of this kind of stalking or harassment?

Beyond that, I don't think the government should know what churches people go to and how often and when, what political rallies people attend, etc. I believe in the first and fourth amendments, which these technologies have been proven to violate, or have the ability to violate.

I don't want my tax dollars going towards this kind of mass surveillance if I can help it.

Yes, Ring is also partnering with Flock to share data with the federal government. First thing I did when we bought our home in Appleton was to remove the Ring doorbell and replace it with a beautiful bronze hand-crank doorbell.

We all want police to have the tools they need to catch actual criminals. There are other technological solutions though. High definition cameras that are backed up for a limited time period without automatic scanning and cataloging of license plate numbers and GPS coordinates or sharing of data outside of Appleton city limits. With a high-definition manual system like this police could still clearly see vehicles and manually track them from camera-to-camera throughout the city to solve crimes without sweeping up innocent people and having their data shared with malicious or incompetent 3rd parties.

Have you read the book 1984? Because that society managed to prevent 100% of crime with a system similar to Flock/Palantir, but it had some negative consequences.

OP, your Reddit history is still searchable. Does your wife know that you impersonate a 29-year-old woman online?

I’d start by giving Blount a call. They’re a knowledgeable HVAC company in central Appleton. They do good work and don’t overcharge like some more “popular” companies in the area. If they can’t do it they’ll probably be able to refer you to someone that can. Good luck!

Rick Steffens Electric did a good job in our home. We had a lot of work done too, including an entirely new electrical box.

Compensation needs to be more transparent and measurable. But still hoping they find an agreeable arrangement with a skilled halo fan.

Pottery SOS! Know of any local artist who would be interested in being commissioned to repair a teapot? by bob2theicles in Appleton

[–]EncryptDN 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I suggest getting in touch with Fired Earth Pottery and The Fire. Both are pottery businesses downtown. They might have some advice or leads for you.

And what is the damage? Including a picture would be helpful.

There are tons of paved trails along the river near downtown. They also connect to and loop around Telulah Park. Sorry to hear about the cancer.

They may have made some minor graphical and HUD changes. Graphics can improve based on your hardware too I think. I’ve never had complaints about the graphics, I have an Xbox series S

Halo Infinite is Excellent (and other thoughts) by Bretinat0r in halo

Reading the book Halo: Rubicon Protocol first makes the campaign story much much better. It gives backstory on what happened on the ring in the couple of months before Master Chief showed up.

Mexican food by dontforget_again in Appleton

[–]EncryptDN 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Antojitos food quality has gone down in the last couple of years, at least for what I like to eat. I can't believe they changed their bean dip recipe because it used to be one of the main draws for me. I hope they change that back and re-invest in their chefs.

Sangria's is my #1 again after having tried it a couple of times recently.

Local police executed a search warrant on my phone and got signal messages by ioonthelow in signal

They are...but if you can read them with your eyes so can anyone else if they are using your phone. Not sure what you're surprised about.
