I moved from Joplin to Obsidian and am very happy with the move, but it’s not FOSS

It’s the same as some random-ass human walking down the street with their phone recording something. If you’re in public you have zero expectation of privacy, especially in the era of everyone having a handheld video recording device within reach of them at all times. Any one of those humans could share video with the LAPD and no one could really say a thing.

Can anyone chime in about the safety of this from a battery standpoint? If it’s going to function that way it’ll probably have to be plugged in all the time, and that device’s battery is not removable.

Almost without any privacy concerns. When I went to college around the turn of the millennium, I worked at the main food court on campus. We had a card system just like you’re describing. When we swiped the student’s card to pay for their meal, their student ID would come up on my screen. Their student ID was their SSN. Back then the first three digits of a person’s SSN was based on the state they lived in when they got their number assigned. For most people that was when they were a baby or at least very young, and for most people that’s the state they did most of their growing up in. I used to have most of the codes memorized, so when I’d swipe someone’s card and see that they had an SSN from someplace that wasn’t the state where the university was, I’d mention it. “Oh, hey, you’re from Ohio? My aunt lives in Ohio.”

“They’re not in the office right now, can I put you to their voicemail?”

I never got that either. It’s clearly the best of the three from the new trilogy. I mean, low bar, but still
