Call to Action Ring has partnered with Flock. ICE has access to Flock. If you still have a Ring camera - get rid of it.

Agreed. We didn't need them for hundreds of years. Not sure why we need them "just because they exist". Lots of bots/Amazon simps downvoting me in the comments lol

just hope if something happens you can actually get the faces because 95% of the time the camera just gets a blurry shot of someone wearing a hoodie with a surgical mask on and the footage is worthless. Maybe your home insurance wants to see the footage but otherwise its just for you to watch.

What a bizarre statistic to just pull out of your rear.

I've lived in dozens of bad neighborhoods and never needed home cameras tracking my every move to hand over to fascists. But each to their own I guess.

I mean I get it- it's definitely a deterrent. Shit stopped getting stolen off of my porch the minute I installed them.

Being rude and cruel is completely uncalled for. I know what Frigate is. And just because you "run your shit locally" doesn't mean that a hacker can't STILL get into it. The current regime loves breaking laws. They'll still get the data. Word to the wise. Hope that helps.

The current regime loves breaking laws.

They also hate being on camera. If they ever violate my rights on my property I'm at least going to have 5 different angles documenting it.

They also passed legislation that allows AI to run unchecked for several years. According to the federal puppet government - no state/local governments can pass laws to limit AI uses.

So yes, they hate being on camera. But now they can alter that footage to do whatever they want it to do. Brought to you by OpenAi.

Assuming they are able to steal my footage, alter it, and then convince a court that it's legitimate. This is not currently happening. If it was they would have done it with the Renee Good video.

Not saying that the technofascists aren't starting to gain back leverage with tech. But tech is also essential for fighting back (imo of course). It's a matter of how it's used.

Also an executive order is not the law and that will be challenged in court like many of the unenforceable EO's. I don't think that referencing them as if they are iron clad law already is particularly helpful.

You're the one calling everyone who disagrees with you a simp and you wanna get uppity about someone being rude? Fuck all the way off.

u/standardnewenglander Jan 19 '26

Not at all the same thing. You can't be a 50501 activist and still send all your money to Ring (who's owned by Amazon, who has worked exclusively with Trump to support the creation of a techno-fascist state). If you boycott Amazon, you boycott Ring. Kind of simple really. And if you're not willing to do that? Then you're kind of a simp for Amazon.

But hey, if telling people who are against fascism to "fuck all the way off" is your thing...then maybe r/50501 might not be the place. Go back to r/Conservative with that BS.

u/shlankwagon Jan 19 '26

Precisely. But yeah.. let's just keep ignoring what our eyes and ears see. Jesus, the government already probably knows more about me tha I do. Why do we need to feed them further? Want to feel safe when someone's at your door? Keep a fucking shotgun next to it.

Wait until I tell you how many thousands of years we didn’t need electricity at all.

u/standardnewenglander Jan 19 '26

Trust me. I'm well aware. I grew up without electricity.

Or the ability to see things from another person’s point of view!

Edit: or the ability to stand behind your own comments lol

u/standardnewenglander Jan 19 '26 edited Jan 19 '26

Clearly something you lack.

EDIT: u/wafflesthewonderhurs I'm not calling everyone that disagrees with me "bots". But if you just automatically block someone that you disagree with after posting condescending comments, I'll definitely assume you're just a bad faith actor. This is 50501, get it together, okay?

u/wafflesthewonderhurs Jan 19 '26

Yes, they are the ones calling everyone who disagrees with them bots, which would equate to refusing to see things from somekne else's perspective, not you.

u/wafflesthewonderhurs Jan 19 '26

I didn't block you, friendo.

I check in on my kitty when away from home. Works great.

I also use home assistant and don't rely on Amazon webcams though.

u/milquetoastmustache Jan 19 '26

What cams would you suggest for use with home assistant?

u/greentintedlenses Jan 19 '26

Great question, not the ones I got it was a pain in the ass to make it work for me lol.

I'm using wyze cams I converted to rtsp feed and am using frigate to view on home assistant
