Did the Linux gods see what the hardware gods had going on and decide to get in on the action?

Alternative reasons (not mutually exclusive):

• The organization has outdated policies that make delivering changes difficult.
• The systems used in development and delivery haven’t been invested in enough to automate repetitive steps, optimize workflow, and increase safety of changes.

Again, complex changes are obviously going to take more time, but if the simplest changes take significant time or effort then something is wrong.

Until 2011 you could just watch wifi traffic for all the unencrypted creds/sessions.

If you run into this again, maybe you can use pursuit of efficiency to get proof?

“If we really want to find out why, we can use a Value-stream mapping approach to analyze the process. We might even identify additional specific opportunities where we’re able to speed up!”

By documenting all steps in a process and timing each one you’d be able to identify where the difference is, and whether a critical step is being skipped. It really doesn’t have to take much time or effort. If management can’t be bothered to make that happen, then they must not really care about efficiency.

Even more strawman arguments. Read back through the comments - I never said anything about fire extinguishers, and am not defending anyone who is lax on safety.

Most enthusiasts are very serious about safety but know that the implementation details are situational.

Accidents are also very rare. If we want to try to reduce the small percentage who don’t take safety seriously, we should start early and make a safety course part of everyone’s schooling.

Is English not your first language? ‘Their’ in that context refers to the person you were replying to: SupraMario.

And as far as Midwesterners and more specifically my political beliefs; while we Minnesotans have a proud tradition of independence, we’re not all Jesse Ventura. Our most popular party is the DFL, which is somewhat distinct from the national Democrat party, and we’ve supported (D) presidential candidates more than any other state. I’m more in the camp of ‘If you go far enough left you get the guns back’. Every gun club I’ve been a member of has had strong membership support of safe handling and storage, but what that looks like differs based on multiple factors such as whether there are children in the household. Not drinking before or during shooting is often in the club’s bylaws.

Really? You shouldn’t have to put in much effort to realize that not every adult has children or has family with children.

The strawman is that you assume children would ever be in their home. If the guns are behind locked doors away from children, they’re secured.

In most of the US, there is no legal requirement of registering a weapon to a person. I think you’re confusing that with the Wisconsin law restricting the unsupervised use of dangerous weapons by those under 18.

Sure, but if it wasn’t for vulture capitalism trying to cut every cent possible, it’d be a minor increase in cost to make these systems degrade gracefully. Then at worst it’d still function as the equivalent ‘dumb’ device.

They have already censored entire accounts at the request of governments.

Decentralized isn’t the right word to use for a system like this.

Even though BS is going to appoint multiple different volunteer moderators (aka “Trusted Verifiers”) for this system, ultimate authority and control are entirely centralized with BS.

This comes off like “NSRXN made them break the rules” which is ridiculous.

People need to be responsible for their own actions.

Check the Tech Ingredients YT channel.

Tech Ingredients YT channel made a diy microwave directed energy device to disrupt consumer drones.

More like: That could be useful, just not for (perhaps many) drones.

1km isn’t that far - the drones that were used for surveillance of Minneapolis protests in 2020 were around 6km up.

If they needed to get close for some reason, would a 1km deterrent be countered enough by approaching from directly above and using gravity for the last km?
