“Part of #Flock’s proprietary tech determines the make and model of the vehicle and also notes if there are bumper stickers, bike racks, any other unique markings that would help identify that vehicle. That generates a “vehicle fingerprint” for every car or truck.” https://cardinalnews.org/2025/03/28/i-drove-300-miles-in-rural-virginia-then-asked-police-to-send-me-their-public-surveillance-footage-of-my-car-heres-what-i-learned/

I drove 300 miles in rural #Virginia , then asked police to send me their public #surveillance footage of my car. Here's what I learned. - Cardinal News

Anyone might wonder how often they are caught on police cameras that operate 24/7. I spent a day driving, and over a month trying to get the answer.

Flock to Fedora is coming to Prague!

I’m passing by to let you know that Flock to Fedora 2025 is happening from June 5th to 8th in Prague, here in the Czech Republic.

I will be presenting about Flatpaks, Fedora, and the app ecosystem, and would love to meet up with people interested in chatting about all things GNOME, Flatpak, and desktop Linux.

If you’re a GNOME contributor interested in attending Flock, please let me know. If we have enough people, I will organize a GNOME Beers meetup too.

Good morning.

5 March 2025

I need to get a haircut, but since today is Wednesday, my barber is closed. Funny enough, I had the exact same thought last Wednesday—yet here I am. It takes a bit of effort to clean up, get in my car, and drive the 15 minutes to the barbershop. Haircuts used to be a necessity for me, but now they’re more of an option, something I only consider when my hair starts bothering me. Honestly, it’s too gray and too thin in places to fuss much about appearances. A short cut around the sides is practical, though, as it doesn’t interfere with my hearing aids. Anyway, long hair and bell-bottoms are mostly out of style.

"Babies haven't any hair; Old men's heads are just as bare; between the cradle and the grave lie a haircut and a shave." - Samuel Hoffenstein

Surveillance company Flock sent a cease-and-desist letter to the creator of DeFlock, an open-source project mapping its license plate-reading cameras, demanding the use of the name "DeFlock" be stopped.

DeFlock, represented by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, argues that the use of the name is protected under free speech and noncommercial use exceptions.

Anti-Surveillance #Mapmaker Refuses #Flock Safety's Cease and Desist Demand

Flock Safety’s car-tracking #cameras have been spreading across the USA like an invasive species, preying on public safety fears and gobbling up massive amounts of sensitive driver data. The technology not only tracks vehicles by their license plates, but also creates “fingerprints” of each vehicle, including the make, model, color & other distinguishing features.

Flock Safety loves to crow about the thousands of local law enforcement agencies around the United States that have adopted its avian-themed automated license plate readers (ALPRs). But when a privacy activist launched a website to map out the exact locations of these pole-mounted devices, the...
