WHEN BEING SEEN
MEANS BEING SAFE 💎
I’ve been thinking about all these arguments over cameras, surveillance and systems like Flock. And I realised something uncomfortable.
I DON'T FEAR CAMERAS.
Not because I think surveillance is harmless. And not because I think governments or corporations should be trusted blindly. But because I am physically vulnerable (disabled).
If someone decided to harm me or rob me, I would have no ability to stop them. So a camera can mean something quite different to me.
IT CAN BE A WITNESS.
Someone stronger and more physically independent might experience being watched as a loss of freedom. I can understand that. But being unseen does not automatically feel like freedom to me.
Sometimes being unseen means being unprotected.
THAT CHANGES THE CALCULATION.
I still think there should be strict rules about who can access surveillance data, how long it is kept, and what it can be used for. But I’m beginning to see that privacy itself can be experienced very differently depending on the body you inhabit.
FOR SOME, PRIVACY IS SAFETY.
For me, visibility is safety. And neither experience cancels out the other.

@tante In Lems "Fiasko" gibt's auch ein paar schöne Worte zum Thema KI:
I wish I needed less sleep, I'd be so powerful if I needed less sleep
I don't want to become
visibly distressed
before someone decides
my feelings are worth responding to.
I don't want to perform suffering
convincingly enough
to earn basic tenderness.
I don't want to explode
just so someone finally notices
there's smoke.
I'd rather be listened to
while I'm still speaking quietly.

The sentiment is not unfamiliar.
@dansup I love how the QR codes look! 😍

"I can not support the current decision of Debian about LLM use, and am no longer willing to be seen as a part of Debian under these new rules. Pretending to have a "neutral stance" when faced with fascism is not neutrality, it’s active collaboration."
Spoken from my heart.

@ruari now that's a fantastic turn out.
@woollypigs Yes, though I do not know what percentage of the population is registered to vote but it sounds encouraging. So the result should represent the will of the people my only real concern is if those people were tricked or lied to.
FWIW these two were looking very nice in the rain this morning.
If white male Christian god had intended beard-havers faces to be smooth he wouldn't have invented hairy faces. THE SMOOTH-FACES ARE AN ABOMINATION.
@TheBreadmonkey Beards are also god's way of saying 'this head needs less face'.
