It requires a flashed rom with a valid (key signature? Crap, forget what it's called).

If you flash an unsigned kernel and try to boot lock, it'll brick.

I get from an absolute security perspective why this is deemed important, I just feel there's a bit too much focus on it, as if an unlocked bootloader is really that insecure. It would still take tremendous effort to get the encryption key for storage, so it's pretty effectively secure still.

Starlink satellites deorbit on their own. What else is SpaceX leaving in orbit? (Serious question, maybe there are small components the launch systems lose?)

I'd say well-maintained and prepared for use. As in tools need be well-maintained to be useful.

Yawn, this ignorant trope again. Go learn to read 17th and 18th century prose.

Yawn, it's clear you don't know how to read literature from the period. There's plenty of explanation of the phrasing, indeed by the writers themselves in contemporary missives. But you don't really care, you already have your ideology.

Go read any Jane Austen and you'll learn. Even better, the Federalist Papers, or the Adams/Jefferson letters.

Exactly!

"You can't out run a bad diet".

Exercise helps, but once you do the math and see how many calories hard exercise consumes vs how easy it is to eat more calories, it becomes very clear.

Yep, the explosion of administration in colleges/universities since the early 80's is the massive problem.

What's interesting is some people recognized the oncoming issues in the 60's! Robert Persig notes it, albeit somewhat obliquely, in his book "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance".

We need to see some new educational competitors out there. When you can get the education for a fraction of what these government-secured organizations charge, then we'll see change.

Define "work".

If you can't see how you moved them, I can't help you.

Huh?

You're here aren't you? I think that says you consider the tradeoffs worth it.

Good points/explanation about the fragmentation breaking the communication.

Hmm, not sure if we can take any active position toward "fixing", since it's really hard to predict the outcome of our actions. Perhaps this is something that will continue to mature as communities coalesce.

I think I'd still like the ability to build my own in-app filters that aggregate communities. Like you'd do with a podcast app. Then at least (for an individual) you'd see all the posts that you consider related in a single feed/folder/view.

It's definitely not a simple problem.
