All good :)
I feel like that has too many practical implications to be great policy in practice, but I can certainly agree with the sentiment

I’ll have to try it again at some point. I found it kinda brutal last time I tried it, and was gonna just try the blender plugin that adds some parametric features next time
If things have improved I guess I’ll have to give it another go at some point


Test successful, you have tested quite testily.
Test test test


I didn’t catch the comment before deleted, but regardless of different ways of looking at this subject, I’m sending love and hugs
Please take good care of yourself my friend 🫂


Yeah, I meant specifically in reply to someone saying it should be standard. Well designed as an installed device like a breathalyzer to start the car I could see it potentially being a worthwhile tool in addition to licence revocation, since folks often still drive on revoked licenses.
But I think you’d need to design it very carefully for a variety of reasons including road saftey- taking away agency from the person operating the vehicle always has potential risks that would need to be carefully considered and mitigated as best as possible


Love the hear that, thats rad as fuck!


Yes and I don’t want them to be able to track that either. I’m not sure having an existing surveillance issue is good reason to add more surveillance 😅
Again, we have lots of options to solve this problem structurally with traffic calming and pedestrian friendly road and infrastructure design


Surely you can think of some way that government installed GPS devices in someone’s cars might be worth choosing not to play along with…
The “be ungovernable” sentiment is pretty common for folks on this platform, right up until the cops could maybe stop people from doing something they dont like and then suddenly surveillance and policing might be entirely viable solutions that definitely couldn’t possibly backfire or have unintended side effects 😅. Installing a government mandated GPS device in a car doesnt just have implications for how fast you can go. Surveillance technology always carries the risk of enabling the government to surveil, intervene in, and persocute people for things that ought to be protected activity. You never know how this kind of far reaching increase of governmental power may affect people’s rights.
I’d rather stick to traffic calming road design and better pedestrian infrastructure, personally

Surely widespread surveillance technology has no possible unintended consequences, certainly this can only end well
(It uses GPS. At a minimum it would lay the groundwork for location tracking of every new vehicle sold. Nevermind any consequences that are actually unforeseeable.)
I believe mastodon instance would need to federate both with the solarpunk server op is posting from and lemmy.world, and then you’d find the account that essentially is this community and mirrors activity from this comm as though theyre individual mastodon posts, and you’d need to find the right one and hit boost
Maybe theres an easier way. You may be able to post to this comm from your mastodon account to establish the link
I’d be curious if someone more knowlegable could chime in with a better understanding


Interesting, I was sometimes kinda curious how they compared in that regard!
If you wanted to expand on that I’d be curious to hear your thought and experience on how things compare, but I appreciate you sharing that take ☺️


I’m not sure their like bananapi based router would be considered professional. More home tinkerer
I’m not sure what that’ll mean for the impact of this change, but I guess we’ll see 🤷🏻♂️


It sounds like you should still be able to buy stuff, I don’t believe it takes active effect immediately


I hope things like hardware made by/for openwrt remain available, but it sounds like they will cease to be?
My first thought was the risk of the us demanding us manufacturers include a backdoor
It sounds like the exemption for foreign companies is an option while they create plans for american manufacturing
I’m ashamed to admit I didn’t immediately register the joke. But at least from the slew of down votes I can tell I’m not alone in being a little bit dumb 😅


That was an impactful read thanks for sharing it. People who build open source pour so much of themselves into it and I can absolutely see it becoming unhealthy easily, in many different ways, and the culture not being able to identify someone is unwell.
Thats super exciting to hear, I’m glad you mentioned it ☺️
