There is absolutely no reason whatsoever that a security camera needs access to anything.
NTP is useful to correct clock drift, but otherwise, I'd agree.
kbin.social has been totally down for a while. I don't think your posts are actually federating when you post into a kbin.social magazine right now; the votes you are getting are probably from other lemmy.world users only.

I wonder if this will actually cause an increase in the number of security vulnerabilities and breaches as there's now a fairly obvious way for employees to penalize their bosses financially for being assholes...
My old username from reddit and HN was already taken and I couldn't think of anything else I wanted to be called so I just picked some random characters like this:
>>> import random >>> ''.join([random.choice("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789") for x in range(5)]) 'e0qdk'
I have that literally in my kbin profile, but it's not on my reddthat one. (I think I tried to copy it there originally when I set up the account but ran into some issue with Lemmy's UI -- been long enough that I forget what exactly.)

I think this is just using SpeechDispatcher from the system -- so it's not a Firefox specific thing. I get a similar (but very slightly different) voice on my own system by default -- which matches what I get when I run a command like spd-say --wait "Hello world" from the command line.
I'm pretty sure SpeechDispatcher can be configured to use a different synthesis engine -- Arch's wiki has some suggestions: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Speech_dispatcher -- but I haven't dug into it yet.
I think the term would be "necrobump"
That's from old school forums where posting to a thread bumped it back to the top of the feed and thus thrust old info prominently into everyone's view again. You won't get that same bump effect with most sorts on Lemmy. ("New comments" sort might work like that though? I'm not sure exactly how that's handled.)
otherwise everyone has moved on
It's pretty rare to get much of a response even after just 24 hours or so -- not just in terms of comments, but even for upvotes. I think after that point, posts are usually so far down people's feeds that almost no one sees it any more. That probably also discourages most people from replying since basically no one will see it. (Maybe the poster of the thread or comment you're replying to will see it, but probably almost no one else will if it's more than a day or so old.)
Some people do dig through community archives and/or user profiles -- particularly after a new thread is posted -- and they'll occasionally upvote old posts, but they very rarely comment.
I don't know what other systems do, but text-to-speech on my computer reads it as "with a shirt that says (pause) emo skull (pause) the dialogue reads..."
