You mean wear something generic, unidentifiable and add some body armor?

I'm not fully convinced by the article either, especially the GDP figure they show. A decline in investments and employment is pretty bad though, although they don't compare those numbers to other countries :/

Yep, that's the direction I was thinking. The whole point of these cameras is to track people, including you, meaning that they can track everyone in the area before and after a camera is destroyed. It seems to me that the logical time to destroy a camera is when few other people are arround to stop/witness someone destroying a camera, but that also means there are few people to track and therefore it's easier to single out whoever did it.

How would you take such a camera down without being spotted and tracked? Do they not look in all directions?

Not asking for all the technical details on how to take one down, just curious how so many can be taken down with so few arrests after. I guess it's a matter of good disguises?

Apparently the threats are still sufficiently strong that the author dares not mention the company's name :/

I can already hear Sir David Attenborough describing how majestic this creature is

The idea of the Netherlands and Belgium merging is completely detached from reality, adding Luxemburg to that picture makes even less sense. Economically it could be great with the combined harbors of Antwerp and Rotterdam. But historically and culturally it clashes, even between The Netherlands and the Dutch speaking part of Belgium.

These guys could pull it off. The only reason I would be against it, is that it would be boring with how hard they'll dominate the scene.

It's not exactly a short article, but they don't even mention key things such as who the politician is (nor context about the guy) whose interview wasn't allowed to be aired. They seem to be censoring him just the same as the TV station...

Holy shit, what a crap website with a totally excessive number of popups and far too much fluff in the content. Glad someone posted a link to the interview.

Do I understand it right that when it comes down to it, this is a different implementation of the same thing (rendering)? I assume that this is mostly relevant for software engineers and that the end user only notices some differences in speed, if at all?

Very true about the Wayland vs X11 knowledge. I didn't learn about that until quite a while after startint to use Mint. Even know I don't really umderstand what it does (something rendering and windows?), it doesn't seem to make much of a difference in day to day use anyways.
