Bummer, you are right. I was wrong. I misread the first study and thought they were detecting faces through object like glasses using infrared, however that is not the case. They just mentioned detecting eyes through glasses(using visible spectrum) and then moved on to talking about infrared for other purposes.
Damn, well I’ll take down the comment. Thanks for pointing this out, sorry to waste your time!

Whether it passes or not, civilians need to start using the infrared on their phone cameras to see through face coverings and profile law enforcement identities during execution of illegal orders anyway.
I cannot believe there is not a widely used FOSS app for this when the hardware is in your pocket already and the research is prevalent for how to do this.
I don’t understand why protestors would even show up in Washington DC during the fascist parade like is being implied in the article.
The union protests and social unrest currently underway are not really related to Trump’s authoritarian birthday bash except for how the media paints them as a “warm up”.
Protesters would be better served popping up all over the country except in Washington DC during their synchronized goose stepping contest.

During one of the mass exodus events from Reddit to Lemmy, a lot of people started using these tools they would install to automatically scrub and obfuscate their Reddit comments and posts history. Often these tools would replace posts with random letters and even nonsense links because there was suspicion that outright deleted posts could be detected and then programmatically restored if Reddit really wanted to get that user content back.
I suspect these tools probably exist for Lemmy as well and you are seeing users with long comment histories use them because those also happen to be the users who have a lot of previous content to cover up/obfuscate to maintain/ensure their own privacy.
Inject it with bleach! That’ll do the trick.
This is incredibly simple to fix.
Prosecute the power companies for their gross negligence leading to deadly wildfires instead of giving them a free pass every time - there are multiple opportunities to do this every year, like this: Reuters: PG&E Guilty On 84 counts
Instead of plain monetary fees, we just need more severe sentencing.
For example: In the interest of public safety, confiscate large swaths of the infrastructure implicated in the manslaughter, including the resources necessary to maintain it and the consumer contracts funding it.
Build in community service agreements forcing them to subcontract their own personnel to train a new state power agency on the intricacies of the confiscated equipment of the following years.
The more manslaughter, the bigger the state agency becomes until there is no longer a profit motive behind our power infrastructure.
Iran’s government sucks, but this story really shows how the Iranian people are stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Regular Iranians have more in common with western social values than those of the Iranian government or Russia - it’s been that way before, during, and after the Iranian revolution.
Not sure what the answer is, but they keep trying to protest and resist their government every few years and they get violently forced back into submission.
Of all the countries with screwed up regimes, Iran is one where I think it’s more appropriate to encourage more fluid immigration into western countries - a lot of their working age population is relatively better educated than many other countries too.
I think they probably wake up thinking exclusively about how to increase their net worth, through politics and marketing, at the expense of low information voters.

Yes, really! I thought you might find the post I’m linking above interesting. It was at the top of my feed this morning and may be relevant here.
I am curious if maybe you were witnessing people of the Boomer generation (or older GenX) discussing this because they are more likely to be consuming mainstream broadcast news?
lol
It feels like the novelty of an attempted XPOTUS assassination wore off in less than 48 hours. That’s crazy.
Nobody around me is even talking about this anymore - not at work, not on social, not at the grocery store, nowhere.
Idk if that’s due to everyone being super jaded or because it’s Trump. If it’s because it’s him, then I wonder if it’s because nobody gives a shit about him or if it’s just not surprising someone would take a shot at him or just because it’s irrelevant to his candidacy or what else.
FatTony Search engine is it down or just me
Super weird. I recall that tickets from cameras were found to be not enforceable in California back in the early 2000’s because officers signing the tickets were not on site at the point of the infraction and so could not testify that they actually witnessed the full scope/context of the events in question before any court of appeal.
I wonder if that’s changed or if this system is somehow different than the previous iterations where officers signed tickets after only witnessing video footage.
