  • I don’t like being on the side defending Amazon but

    “For Ring users, the process is the same. Your privacy and control over your videos and information are non-negotiable, and your participation is completely optional. Public safety agencies can’t see who received a notification or who chose not to respond. You can even turn off Community Request notifications altogether if you prefer. By combining community safety with strong privacy protections, Community Requests respects individual choice while helping neighborhoods thrive.”

    It sounds like you’d get a notification when an agency asks for footage and you can accept decline or ignore.

    I still don’t like it . Way too many avenues for abuse


  • The worst was having to find a retail window for concert tickets. Ticketmaster used to delay phone and later internet sales for an hour while in person sales started.

    So you could buy in person at 10 am or try the phone or website at 11 am.

    So you’d have to find a Sears or other big dept store and wander all over trying to find the ticket terminal and wait in line and hope you’d get good tickets.

    I remember getting in line for some beastie boys tickets and was second in line at 9:30 and the lady in front of me was trying to pick tickets to the wringling bros circus and didn’t have any perticular day or time in mind and these circus tickets were always available and on sale like everywhere, so it wasn’t until 10:30 am that she was done and by then general admission was sold out.

    I was livid. The 90’s kinda sucked for a lot of things but this one still annoys me.



  • No the best time was the early Internet days when you had fast access to news and information before people realized that engagement = money and the more pissed off people got the more they would engage.

    Also most people generally accepted that facts were you know true, and not just living in their own made up universe.
