Come to Switzerland. The worst country in that regard. Cameras everywhere (lamps etc.). Nobody follows the law. They just make up reasons to ruin your life and everyone has to suffer. There is no privacy, at least in CH.

I live in Switzerland too and can't relate at all.

I have noticed that a few years ago, at least in Zürich, small unobtrusive black enclosures have appeared everywhere on traffic signal/lamp posts along the roads. I can only assume that they contain cameras. But nobody else I've talked to has even noticed them.

Flock ALPR mass surveillance is at least controversial in the US, yet I haven't heard any controversy over the apparent(?) roll-out of ALPR mass surveillance in Switzerland.

I have not spent the effort to dig into what exactly those things are, who owns them, and what their claimed purpose is, but given their recent installation, density, clear view of the roads, and strategic locations (intersections, roadway exits, etc.) an ALPR mass surveillance network is, to me, the most plausible explanation.


Is there an introduction to vibe coding somewhere? I also find it funny that there are these npm modules for the sniffers, i.e. the biohackers. Apparently it's everywhere already. Are there books somewhere to learn that stuff from scratch?

You know, I haven't looked to be honest. It sounds kind of counter-intuitive to ask a vibe coder to read a book. Something that seems to surprise people sometimes is that the LLM itself is actually a great resource for questions on how to use it.

There is also literate programming for music, right? Just like Donald Knuth describes it in his literate programming approach? See for example the videos by Fauci etc. They say things like eh eh, pause then play music using items such as a pen, there is even a conductor. Very entertaining. Is that true? Or just my imagination?
