The UK property sector’s digital transformation is moving forward, but adoption of qualified electronic signatures remains low, highlighting the challenge of turning digital identity infrastructure into everyday usage.

New: Regretful cities are literally covering their Flock cameras with black trash bags because they cannot figure out how to immediately exit their surveillance contracts or get the cameras taken down:

🚨 “Crotch Cams” are already live in multiple states.
AI traffic cameras mounted so low they’re literally photographing drivers’ crotches to catch phone use and seatbelt violations.
These creepy systems are now active or in heavy use in Minnesota, Georgia, North Carolina, Arkansas, Louisiana, Connecticut, and expanding FAST!!
The government can’t secure the border, can’t stop crime, and can’t balance a budget… amongst a lot of other BULLSHIT,…but they’ve got UNLIMITED money to install Big Brother cameras zooming in on your junk???? 🤯🤬
This is straight-up dystopian. Privacy is dead.
Who else finds this absolutely insane? 👇
As a radical proponent of personal privacy, I have resigned myself that we have already crossed the rubicon and are moving into the fafo era of surveillance. Not quite numb but nearly out of hope. https://t.co/U0UaR3xKtC
Amazon Ring died on May 22, 2026.
It just doesn't know yet.
One dad in Nashville, Tennessee built a free MIT-licensed app that watches your driveway, your porch, your baby monitor, your garage.
No cloud. No subscription. No cop ever gets the footage.
32,057 stars. 3,103 forks. Pushed today.
Here is the wildest part:
You: "How much is Ring Protect Pro?"
Ring: "$19.99 a month. $199.99 a year. Per house."
You: "How much is Google Home Premium Advanced?"
Google: "$20 a month. $200 a year. Per house."
You: "What do I get?"
Both: "We store your footage in our cloud. Ring already paid the FTC $5.8 million in 2023 for letting employees and contractors watch your videos without your consent. Google just raised Nest prices again in 2025."
You: "What does Frigate cost?"
Blake Blackshear: "Nothing. It runs on the Raspberry Pi already on your shelf. The footage never leaves your house. I have a day job."
Ring sells the camera. Then sells your fear back to you, monthly, forever.
Frigate sells nothing. Because Blake isn't selling.
He's a dad with 1,267 followers who got tired of Amazon owning his front door.
100% Opensource.
100% Local.
100% Yours.
The smart camera industry made one bad assumption.
That you'd keep paying rent on a camera you already bought.
That assumption just died in Nashville.
You decided to do better. The government decided to charge you extra for it.
14 states tax nicotine pouches higher than cigarettes, including some at 95% of wholesale price.
You're not being protected. You're being punished for trying to do better.
Nobody sat you down and explained this.
No letter. No warning. No vote. They just made cigarettes the cheaper choice.
Quietly.

Privately I have said I will not vote in another federal election. DC is lost. I don’t want to legitimize it with my vote. I believe this is not an unhinged perspective, in fact, it feels very sane.
I’m going to concentrate on my state and grow my garden.
Thousands of smokers don't quit cigarettes because of high taxes on vapes.
“The more expensive you make the safer product," @gbentley1 of @reason explains, "the more of the most dangerous product will be sold.”
But politicians don't learn.
Now they impose HUGE taxes on Zyn:
@uTobian@castello2@DrMakaryFDA@SusieWiles47 For a decade I helped thousands in my community to successfully quit smoking with an essential inventory of about 3K different vapor products in my vape shop, none from any of those 3. All of my liquids were sourced from small, American manufacturers, most now gone, like my shop.
3 million signatures against digital ID.
Today the King announces that ‘his government’ has been instructed to implement digital ID.
We have no say in how we live our lives, no say at all.
@GovStitt Why don’t we actually verify the actual birth certificate? You know, verify that the document was issued to a living person and isn’t being claimed by anyone else.
All this other stuff is trivial if the foundation document is not verified.
