Playing with Frigate on our chicken cam and it's surprising how many cows, dogs, and birds we get in the garden!

A screenshot of a set of clips from Frigate showing its AI image classifier mislabelling a cat, a muntjac deer and a badger as dogs, cows, and birds.
Ray?

@CatherineFlick Particularly impressed that it can identify owls at night.

Look I’d love to get a new #RaspberryPi5 - I love playing with this sort of tech. I have a few older ones kicking around still too! But I won’t be buying one because I don’t like to support a company that belittles people for taking an ethical stance against hiring known surveillance police to help support that particular market. It was dismissive, exclusionary, and pushing minority groups out of making spaces. And they still don’t think they’ve done anything wrong.

@CatherineFlick Don't worry, you wouldn't be able to buy one even if you wanted to! 😅

@CatherineFlick I used to avoid alternatives because I liked the community the RPI had, but the organization has showed how little respect they have for that community several times. That was the last straw for me, but I was also salty about the "we are prioritizing big orders from companies who rely on our things" we've seeing for the last few years. That alone should be enough to strip them of their "foundation" status. If you are going to act like a regular corporate provider you should pay the same taxes the others do.
