We're talking about license plate recognition cameras, not cameras that show a blurry picture of a criminal committing a crime. These LPR cameras absolutely do result in meaningful law enforcement action and help catch criminals.
See San Francisco and their use of LPR cameras like Flock combined with drone surveillance.
I found out about this a month ago when a confused Spanish user showed me all downloads on https://apkmirror.com (powered by Cloudflare R2) are blocked in Spain during LaLiga soccer matches https://x.com/i/status/2030361569691898237. It was so idiotic, I couldn't believe it. Glad it's getting more attention now.
You don't have to use swarms if you don't need them though, and in fact you can continue using the editor view with the side chat like before. Why switch away now just because this optional UI was announced?
Another die-hard user of dual-pane commanders, including Total Commander for over 20 years, reporting in.
The best part about Total Commander is that my license from like 20 years ago is still valid, and every update that comes out still works with it and never pushes for upgrades, etc. As much as new software has dark patterns and upsells everywhere, Total Commander is wonderfully frozen in time in that regard.
Was your company called Scroll by chance, the one that Twitter acquired?
When I ran Android Police, we were one of the largest Scroll users in the beginning and I was pretty upset when Scroll shut down.
However, it never amounted to any meaningful revenue and was just a nice way to implement ad-free subscriptions across various sites. Other big sites used it too, like The Verge and Gizmodo and I thought it had some potential.
