It's possible to create a virtual V4L device ( https://github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback ). The app I chose, provides a script to set this up. There's also a windows driver, but I haven't used that yet

I wanted to buy a new webcam; basically because I'm finding half my life is spent using one. Ran into the problems mentioned in the article, and put a Logitech camera onto pre-order. Cancelled that order last night though: possible to

Lots of great points - but feels slightly ironic that he's decided to divide this into segments of 160 characters, and spread the words between the nomenclature of the Twitter UI.

Okay ... I'll qualify that. The system has created vast inequalities of wealth, monopolisation by corporate structures that are too large to fail and helped to create and sustain a climate emergency that will change the face of life on

It does change the way we culturally view the practices relating to privacy though. I think a lot of the net effect of legislation like GDPR, can be viewed through the lens of 'in essence'. Ultimately, it's setting in place a
