thumb-cop Oh no our drones are getting hacked constantly and harassing black children regularly. We swear we will stop the hacking and find the silly hackers

Please let's not allow this dystopia to become reality (CW: death/massacre, blood, disturbing imagery)

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

You know these are just going to be used to harass black and latinx students.

[-] cabb@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 6 days ago

The majority of Hispanics don't like that term. Can you stop using it? It's close to a slur if not already a mild one and there's already a gender neutral term - Hispanic.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 3 points 6 days ago

Sorry, thanks for correcting me and noted.

[-] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 3 points 6 days ago

"Close to a slur" seems like hyperbole to me, but I'm also Team Hispanic since that's just how I've always identified and it's conveniently both gender neutral and widely accepted. I'm personally neutral on Latinx—I'm not offended by it, and it can be a useful indicator for me that someone is at least not a raging bigot, but it sounds clunky IMO and it doesn't work in Spanish (I'd probably go with latine in the latter case).

Regardless, I don't think you did anything wrong, especially since there are absolutely people who self-identify as Latinx. It's just one of those things that depends heavily on your audience.

Kids bringing guns to school to protect themselves from the drones that are protecting them from the guns

[-] GoodGuyWithACat@hexbear.net 27 points 1 week ago

Kings bringing laser pointers to be based.

[-] GeckoChamber@hexbear.net 69 points 1 week ago

As a father, you ask me what am I willing to give up in my child's school, for protection? Everything.

yeah okay cool

[-] derry@midwest.social 88 points 1 week ago

Except better gun control laws. Not those.

[-] Photuris@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 week ago

I’m torn on this one. On the one hand I’d love to have sensible gun control laws in place that help prevent guns from getting into the hands of kids.

On the other hand, guns may be our only recourse against Fascism.

[-] pfr@lemmy.sdf.org 57 points 1 week ago

Fascism is upon you now. What are you waiting for?

[-] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 45 points 1 week ago

This except in the mind of amerikkkans the fascism is universal healthcare

[-] volcel_olive_oil@hexbear.net 59 points 1 week ago

what does it attack with? because I can only think it would be an explosive. might as well just keep some grenades around in the teacher's lounge

[-] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 60 points 1 week ago

Video shows pepper rounds and "direct impact" which is literally just dive bombing the drone into the target.

[-] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 13 points 6 days ago

Stopping school shooters by releasing of a flesh shredding cloud of manhacks.

POV of an American student in 2027

[-] graymess@hexbear.net 45 points 1 week ago

Maybe I'm underestimating the incredible power of the modern camera drone, but wouldn't getting dive bombed by one be the equivalent of someone throwing a plastic toy at you?

[-] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 42 points 1 week ago

I mean, it wouldn't feel great? I assume dive bombing is only an option after the pepper munitions are used up. But yeah, its not really going to end the threat. A delay at best. Which is also what the people selling this were careful to note: about how this is just to get LEO more time to get on scene.

[-] volcel_olive_oil@hexbear.net 49 points 1 week ago

the cops proceed to send in more drones until the shooter runs out of ammo

How long until they are used to police students?

[-] FloridaBoi@hexbear.net 64 points 1 week ago

I just watched a video on DARE and how it was a ploy to get more police in schools and make students into snitches

[-] Photuris@lemmy.ml 38 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I watched that video yesterday as well.

We homeschooled during COVID, and after that video I’m seriously tinkering with the idea of doing it again. It was a huge strain on my work schedule, but the kids thrived during that time and never did better in terms of their academic achievement. But, since they’re older now, it would be very hard on them in terms of their socialization and all that.

Public schools have turned into a weird mini police state, wherein some normal kid shenanigans - that should be handled by school administrators, by means of detentions and in-school suspensions - are now being handled by resource officers and the juvenile legal system. It’s madness and I hate it.

I think maybe what we really need to do is get tf out of America.

The operators are already doing that.

Now how long until they are used to suppress student protests?

Don't worry, the drones will wait outside the school just like the cops

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 41 points 1 week ago

Ahem.

Learn to hack, learn to quadcopter/drone.

How about some books, maybe?

[-] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 32 points 1 week ago

I remember joking many years ago about how every school needed predator drones that would fire on anyone who looked angry or upset.

[-] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 27 points 1 week ago

Please feel a starving Onion today they're so hungry

[-] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 25 points 1 week ago

Yea satire is dead, how do you beat reality? School Resource Officers being replaced with School Tactical Response Teams? School buses being replaced with mraps? Hallway monitors being replaced with deputized student-snipers in overwatch positions?
