nuclear is neither about having, nor using the weapons … it’s about the fear of future use of weapons
silence isn’t helpful in that endeavour

this is absolutely the information that needs to be at the top… old news, we know about it, calling it a back door is kinda disingenuous
that doesn’t mean that you haven’t internalised what a typical british tabloid looks like - they have a very specific style, and it’s replicated in pop culture and news quite a bit
it’s not just complacent - it’s worse than that - it’s dehumanising… it’s active; complacency is passive
just say you didn’t get the joke. it’s fine
and when typing :q with unsaved edits it literally also says “add ! to override”
expanding on this, depending on technical skill level:
i’d probably get some SBCs like raspberry pi (or cheaper; raspberry pi is probably overkill here!) to be the terminals, run asterisk and have an extension for each terminal… run a voip client that automatically picks up any call it receives, and connects to a mic & speaker, connect a button to GPIO and write a script to call a conference extension for all devices (or multiple buttons for multiple extensions to call individual locations)… i’d probably add a second button for a “call back”-like feature - a terminal broadcasts a message and there’s a button to reply only to the terminal the last call was from
this would allow you to use phones as terminals too - even receiving “calls”, although in that case the caller would have to wait for the phone user to pick up - just like a regular phone. probably more useful as a transmitter
all of these things aren’t super difficult in isolation - probably setting up asterisk is the hardest part
one of the benefits of using a packet switched solution is that it’s expandable in the future… adding extra terminals anywhere there’s networking is pretty powerful - you can change your mind about location, or even technology in general and not have to worry
… and it’s probably much easier to extend on in the future too - say open source AI assistants get better, you might want to build one that integrates with timers etc, that’s much easier with packet switched … or even more likely, you want to broadcast to the intercom from outside your house or even just make mobile phones able to be transmitters inside the house
you’re totally right that simple point to point intercom stuff like that is a much simpler solution, but packet switched is king for a lot of future-proofing reasons - perhaps not something that OP cares about (a project completed is better than a perfect plan not begun), but worth mentioning
economics is far from a simple competition… things like game theory lead to monopolies being bad for everyone, and that’s what china wants in a lot of cases. the chinese government subsidises some of its industries dramatically so they can take over a global market and then slowly backs off the subsidies when they’ve killed their competition
it’s similar to microsoft’s embrace, extend, extinguish strategy
they also save a lot of space and money so there tend to be more. at bars and clubs in particular where the men’s has urinals, the difference in line length is pretty stark
a lot of queer spaces are converting regular bathrooms to gender neutral bathrooms and the signs often say “with urinals”… who cares if there’s a woman using the bathroom while you’re using the urinal?
in star trek, humans invent warp drive in a ship based on an old missile after ww3
absolutely correct… in australia, you respect the wildlife because it often has the ability to protect itself… its not like people die here every day from it
i feel like this makes it on par with eg newpipe right? since newpipe doesn’t have a server, so all requests are direct to youtube
people seem to be okay with the fingerprint trade-off… and a vpn (as in, an external vpn that invidious routes all traffic through) would help with that
Labour (with a u since it’s a proper noun from the UK) is named after trade unions; they’re the progressive party

i’d like to introduce you to your new best friend: reset… it doesn’t everything clear does and a LOT more
this has the same logic as saying npm install takes a while so just don’t use libraries
