After watching his first video, I spotted tons of cams capable of doing such surveillance (Hikvision, a Chinese brand, which offers surveillance as a Service, iiuc) on my country’s streets in Europe…
I used to get this real bad. Couldn't leave the flat most days. I'd have my coat and shoes on, and would keep approaching the door and just couldnt leave. Sometimes I'd think I could hear footsteps in the hallway, and would have to wait by the peephole for a couple of minutes, then lose my nerve and go back to work up the courage to approach the door again. Just unable to open the door and break the seal between safety and exposure.
Seek help if you have the option. It doesnt get better on its own.
Its less about naked baby pictures and more about a network of internet connected cameras, which we know that government agencies access, being absolutely everywhere.
You mean because of people watching? I get this so much worse in the village than in the city, because village folks will remember and talk about your patterns, while city folks won't.
Im in the EU thankfully, it's not legal to record strangers (except like, a crowd where you can't make out individuals that well). They may be watching me from the window, but they don't talk like village folks do.
The exact stipulations strongly depend on the jurisdiction because there is no EU-wide legal framework for this.
For example, you may put them up, but then you are also required to put up warning signs so nobody runs the risk of being accidentally caught on camera. Or the cameras might not be allowed to directly face the street/ public areas, only your immediate private property.

Relevant video I saw posted elsewhere on Lemmy today.
Tl;dw: Flock cameras are alarmingly easily hackable and many of their security and efficacy claims on their website are outright false.
Ease of hacking isn't even something I considered. I just don't want my face anywhere on whatever server because a flock camera saw me
I have been subbed to him for 6+ months. Also, isn't Flock for the U.S. only?

I don't doubt that Canadian PDs are drooling over any potential of using them in Canada.
One time I ate a mushroom I found growing on my bath mat and the sky looked just like this.

And because of all my family members and neighbors with their ring cameras and Alexa microphones. It's ridiculous.
As another dude with a family that loves storing their naked baby pictures on google's servers... I feel you...

My damn neighbors have that crap. Ring pointed right at my house.
A panopticon is like a big loving hug for everybody at once

Because of cameras everywhere. And now I understand the meme.
Yeah I got that that's what the meme is about, but thought the comment might be about nosy humans anyway.
The city folks know your patterns too but they are inside watching from their cameras lol

You all aren't allowed to put up security cameras? Interesting. I like it lol

The night has a thousand eyes
Maybe put some clothes on.
c/surrealmemes is leaking
I also feel like this when leaving the house sponsored by Flock Safety.
How it has always felt being a religious believer
Except, some gods don’t even respect your privacy within your house..
Just like smart TVs and vacuum cleaners and other IoT toys.

I was gonna make a "my situation is worse" joke, as in chucles, I'm in danger type of joke, but the joke didn't land properly...
::: spoiler Recinded Comment You are afraid of someone watching you.
I'm afraid of armed masked men¹ grabbing me and throwing me in a van.
We are not the same.
¹ICE
(am non-white foreign-born Naturalized American) :::
And ICE can use these cameras to track your movements.
I was trying to make a "my situation is worse" joke, but I guess my sense of humor sucks lol
Sometimes jokes don’t land when only conveyed in text.
I'm talking about ICE btw
Though you were one of those surveillance preachers...
