  • Lockdown fans will just shrug, say "won't be me!", and move on. No amount of warning will reach them

    This dude probably ignored all the warnings about not owning the things you buy from Lockdown and only now is realising the impact.

  • I wouldn't count satellite as a viable option for citizens during a war, especially if it's under US/foreign control (a possible enemy).

    Meshtastic seems to be very vulnerable to misconfigurations that can knock out all nodes in an area by flooding them. All it needs is 2 nodes with MQTT enabled and nobody can communicate.

    Jack Dorsey has alpha software and just rewrote another app. Plus, he's from the USA so his stuff shouldn't be trusted. Briar and other apps already exist. Maybe even Jami could work. The problem is that those are only the range of WiFi or Bluetooth. For communication in a city/town/village,that might be OK, but intercity communication won't be possible. Is there no meshnet tech that has greater range than WiFi and can carry more than text (I.e not meshtastic)?

  • It wasn't even tech bros. Some people started using opensource software, discovered the master branch and lost their shit. Nobody meaningful had ever connected the name to anything malevolent, but those people made themselves be offended in the name of people who weren't even offended by it.

    Microsoft bought github and didn't want the bad press so they renamed it after the twitter shitstorm. The professional victims then moved on to whatever else made noise on twitter and that was that.

    I force all new projects to use master as all my old scripts and repos use master. Twitter shitstorms scan stay where they should be: in the toilet bowl of the internet aka twitter.

  • Every version is stable in linux means no version breaks userspace. Semver's major version literally breaks the contract. It's what it's for.

    And even if we literally meant stable as in "this is expected to work", no, that is nowhere near normal in my experience. There are countless projects and companies with "test in production" mentalities. Then there are distros like Ubuntu and nixos that always have an unstable and/or a testing release, which is by definition not stable.

    So, no, every version is stable is definitely not the norm in my experience.
