Using a search engine, we found 67 unsecured admin panels for Flock Safety cameras. The majority of them use AI to zoom in and follow people.

I had both live and 31 days of archived footage from retail parking lots, forest trails, playgrounds, etc. @404media.co

SCOOP: Flock left at least 60 of its AI-powered, people-tracking surveillance cameras exposed and livestreaming to the open internet. We tracked ourselves. The exposure highlights the power of these cameras and types of things they're tracking. Not just cars.

Here's an idea for creatives to explore in 2026.

Build a scene.

Take the time you spend promoting your work and devote 80% of that to creating a scene. Connect with other creatives. Create a buzz around your location. Your unique culture, vibe, and history.

Don't be an atom. Be a universe.

Seeing some extremely terrible takes (i.e., feelpinions) which lack evidence, and it's adding more confusion to a very fragile moment.

A totally valid and justified option right now would be to just STFU and just show care, support, solidarity and empathy to those most affected around us.

“Juniors have more economic value than ever before”. Because AI development can accelerate learning if we can help them and let them in.
Hopeful insights from @kentbeck.com #yow25

Third and final time I get to welcome @kentbeck.com to a stage at @yowconf.bsky.social
It’s been fun, and a huge honour.

Already getting some laughs. @kevlin.bsky.social is giving the perfect talk for this part of day. #YOW25

Branchless programming for code optimisation. @royvanrijn.com ‘s talk on processing a billion rows with Java is full of cool tricks. #yow25

A lot of what @jimwebber.org says is not things I’m going to write on the internet.

But #YOW25 attendees are getting a treat.

One of the most visually spectacular presentations I’ve seen. @glycin.bsky.social built a world in Unity to explain Vector databases and algorithms. #yow25

OMG, when did @jetbrains-rider.bsky.social get this feature?

I just hovered over a regex and got this super helpful explainer window. I've never seen this before

@skywatch.blue I think you have a false positive flagging @nightafternight.bsky.social. Can you take a look?

You can build great solutions 🚀 but can you repeat it? @simoneb.bsky.social at #DDDAdelaide 2025 shows how to make the whole process repeatable: pipelines, code, templates, doco, backlogs 🔧 Work faster, cheaper, and go to bed on time 😴✨
