Reminds me of Arthur C Clarke’s The Light of Other Days. There’s a technology in the book that allows anyone to see anything, anywhere, which eliminates all privacy. Society collectively adjusts, e.g. people masturbate on park benches because who gives a shit, people can tune in to watch me shower anyway.

Although not to the same extreme, I wonder if this could similarly desensitize people: even if it’s fake, if you can effectively see anyone naked… what does that do to our collective beliefs and feelings about nakedness?

Ah must’ve skimmed over that part, my bad. The home automation part jumped out to me

I’ve recently been looking into ESP32 programming - they’re microcontrollers with onboard Bluetooth and WiFi, that are smaller yet more powerful than Arduinos. Randomnerdtutorials gets recommended a lot elsewhere; I believe I saw one tutorial for running a web server on an ESP32.

If you need a full OS and/or more resources, I’m not sure raspberry pi can be beaten (at least, that’s how the market was years ago when I was looking)

I think I prefer the town that elected a dog for mayor

Damn really? That’s crazy

Nice, what board game? My friend group does an annual LOTR movie marathon, while eating food prepared to match what they’re eating on screen.

This year one friend got a LOTR Trivial Pursuit to play as well. Trivial Pursuit is not normally something we’d play… but we sure know our LOTR trivia.

He has earned his passage to the Undying Lands
