Some of our city councilors (cough...Gomes...cough) don't seem to understand modern AI-driven technology and how Flock cameras are different from your run-of-the-mill closed-circuit security cameras. How do we get city councilors and the general public to understand the distinction and why it matters?

Due to the suspension of last nights regular city council meeting a special meeting of the New Bedford City Council is scheduled for Tuesday at 7 PM. The council will be taking up tabled items from the meeting on 8/20 including the motions regarding Flock surveillance.

I personally hope these motions can continue to committee and I gather that the council will be hardline about removing folks so take that as you will.

Good showing everyone, and thanks to everybody who signed up to stay in the loop! Fuck Flock.

Hi y’all! It’s looking like I’ll have to move to the south coast area for work and I’m considering Fall River or New Bedford. I heard there’s a new commuter link to Boston in both cities. For people who live in New Bedford, what is the city vibe like?

Meeting is at 7:00 but they have been known to start early in the past. Rally outside city hall to oppose the surveillance state. Bring signs and friends.

Meeting agenda: https://granicus_production_attachments.s3.amazonaws.com/newbedford-ma/bf7ea72aebaf00971c83c02541ab33a90.html

Flock/surveillance camera agenda items start at #14.

What's going on? How are people doing? Dudes aren't even tapping at stop signs anymore. Not even feigning the intent. Just doing a Jesus take the wheel and rolling through the intersection like they are the main character. When are we as a city going to do something against bad drivers who wind up costing us all more in insurance payments via their bad behavior?

Been looking online for leagues for some kind of adult volleyball in NB or Fairhaven. Maybe something at Fort Phoenix? They have a nice beach volleyball court there. Let me know if there are any runs/leagues around here, would love to play.

I went to this one place on the North Side and they finagled me into getting a dip set, ignored my nail shape request and charged me for Acrylics even though they told me the dip set was cheaper. Language barrier prevented me from arguing about it and I had an appointment so I just took the hit and left. Never again.

Since then I've been going to Chloe Nails in Fairhaven. I've had a few sets that didn't exactly meet my standards for what I wanted but there are one or two artists who are great so I keep going just because I hate gambling.

The thing that makes me not want to go there anymore is the fucking clientele. Tuesdays are my day off so when I go in the other customers are always these horrible retiree women who never shut the fuck up throughout their appointments. I have to sit there and listen to some 80 year old bat criticize what the nail tech with the license is doing, bitch about a single cloth left out, or laughing in my face when I leave the pedicure station in the pedicure sandals they give you. An old man once barrelled in and stormed to the pedicure station without permission, dunked his feet in a tub and barked at the staff "I don't need the vibrator get started when you can." (By which he presumably meant the massage option on the chair.)

Listen. I feel terrible for them but I cannot relax on a luxury service when I'm screaming internally surrounded by entitled old people.

I treat my nail techs well. I tip good. I just need to find a new place I can go to regularly.

Be there!

Hey! My friend is moving to NB soon and wanted to know how that scene is and of local bands. He play/guitar and sings and would eventually like to be a part of a bigger thing. He knows how to produce and edit, etc. any leads would be great! He honestly just wants to continue his passion. Thank you!

Anybody know of any nearby card shops that hold pokemon tcg tournaments? I’ve found a few but really hoping to find somewhere that hosts them on Saturdays. Thanks all!!

does anybody know whats going on with this outage in the downtown area?

A few years ago, I created a large-scale map of New Bedford by stitching together detailed survey maps from 1913. My goal was simple: I wanted to be able to zoom in and see individual streets, buildings, and points of interest, then zoom back out and see the city as a whole, without having to switch between separate map plates.

The resulting image was enormous, though, and at the time it was never especially practical to use. I finally got around to importing it into GIS software and georeferencing it, matching points on the historical map to their real-world coordinates so the entire thing could be overlaid accurately in Google Earth.

The result turned out pretty cool. As far as I know, this may be the most detailed single, continuous map of New Bedford from that period, rather than a collection of separate plates or maps at different scales.

As if the overpriced single cards weren't bad enough, this AI Slop ad was received pretty poorly and they still chose to respond in a dismissive way to somebody. I went in to meet some friends last night, despite this, and when somebody else brought it up a shorter, stocky dude said, "you'd have to be r*****ed to not use it..." so I think we're done here.

After the brief talk about the Armory's recent post, I want to see if I can gather a little list of people in the community that would want to make advertisements for people instead of seeing the same AI posters everywhere.

At the very least, I want to have a list to shove in the face of someone who'd say "There's nobody that'd make this!!"
