#resistfascism

Posting a real question, but it's going to give off a "how do dragons blow out candles" vibe. I'm helping the hubby 3d scan some objects for work. We've covered those objects/the floor with reflective dots to help the scanner keep track of itself. Is there such a thing as "anti reflective dots" that could be incorporated into something like a temporary tattoo or face paint that protesters could use to thwart facial recognition software? Bonus points if it could "qr code"-force the software to return the image of a guy fawkes mask instead. : P #technology #facialrecognition #3dprint #askfedi #resistfascism

#resist #resistauthoritarianism #resistfascism #fuckice "How can we possibly stop this? What we are up against can feel insurmountable. The presence of far right movements connected with the White House is scary; descriptors of ICE and the Border Patrol as “Gestapo” seem apt. The flurry of Trump’s attacks and how quickly things have felt to be spinning out of control is dizzying, destabilizing. Many sharp political people I know feel some sense of hopelessness. It haunts me as well. I have argued that all capitalist states should be called police states, but the current iteration of the U.S. police state is intensified, blatant, and unveiled in Trump’s fantasy of strongman authoritarianism. Will we have another election? Trump in his erratic ravings has certainly made ominous claims. The Democrats, in their flimsy charade of being a “resistance” have abandoned us all — as they always have. It all seems so bad." https://truthout.org/articles/police-states-are-terrifying-but-they-are-brittle-i-witnessed-this-in-tunisia/?utm_source=Truthout&utm_campaign=e2f17f9844-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2026_01_30_07_23_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_bbb541a1db-7db6e159d6-654325587
