I thought Mastodon, Lemmy, and Kbin were all the same thing until about a week before I lost access to RIF. I'm glad I looked into all the Reddit alternatives and found Lemmy. Reddit has been shitty for years anyway.
I bought a ps1 classic to use for emulators, back when they were on clearance. It's only good enough for 5th-gen gaming (N64-era), but that's good enough for me. I can use my PC for everything else.
My issue with Kbin is that it's missing some of the communities from Lemmy. For example, h3h3productions@lemmy.world isn't available on Kbin and I can't add it. Also, it annoys me seeing empty image placeholders on every post. Last time that I used Kbin, it also kept showing error messages every couple minutes. Kbin just isn't ready for mainstream adoption. Lemmy is.
Reddit has had a good run, but it's over. It's been corrupted by money and I don't think that can be undone. People need to move on, like they did with Digg. Let the product die.
I am mostly just familiar with Kroger's LP, but in my experience their loss prevention is pretty ineffective. They have a lot of cameras installed, but they aren't being constantly monitored. There are actually only a handful of loss prevention personnel, and they spend the majority of their time walking around in stores. They will occasionally catch someone trying to steal a whole cart of groceries or a kid stealing a pair of earbuds. The majority of theft is actually either at self-checkouts or people walking out the doors with pockets full of merchandise. There are also people who regularly get caught stealing, and loss prevention will always keep an eye out for those people.
I didn't work in loss prevention, but I would occasionally have to review security footage in the security office. The cameras, even in the newer stores, were pretty low resolution and had a lot of blind spots. They are put there as a deterrent more than anything else.
I assume Walmart probably has better loss prevention than Kroger, so you could be correct. Though, I doubt all Walmart stores have AI SCO tracking or 360-degree-recording cameras.
Are you being sarcastic? There is 1 person manning 10 checkouts and cameras that aren't monitored. As someone who worked in the Front End of a grocery store for many years, I can tell you that they don't have the resources to keep track of 99% of theft.
