This is why I’m glad for Lemmy. At first it outraged me, but after seeing the conversation, it does sound more like a dark parody from The Hunger Games (i.e. JabberJays) which is completely possible with current drone tech and speakers, but X to doubt until source cited.
Edit: Thanks for the source. It appears the worst is true.
I have a separate usb harddrive for just this occasion. My lazy ass just likes to play "We backed it up last time, do we need to do it every time?
