You raise an important question, one that I don’t have a good answer for, despite having been part of the amateur radio community for 15 years.

Here’s how I’d approach this.

In the case of natural disasters, there’s often frequencies set aside for emergency traffic, which presumably is the way to get messages into a disaster zone.

If you’re describing that, then I suspect that the amateur radio emergency organisation in your country is the place to start, which raises the questions, which one and how?

If you’re describing something less than a natural disaster, talking to your local amateur radio club might be a better way to go, with the same questions.

If I had HF access right now, I’d get on air and make noise for you, but I don’t.

Finally, what message are you trying to get where?

That seems odd to ask on a public forum, but anything we do on HF is going to be public, more so than here on Lemmy.

It’s MOAR betterer … Samsung says so … apparently.

It was fun doing the research. No word from the museum or any grant opportunities yet 😇

Edit: I’ve just heard back from the museum. I’ve seen the article. It might be the tip of the iceberg.

Given the massive layoffs happening under the Assumed Intelligence banner, the answer has always been: “cheaper labour”

Apparently people who actually know how to do their ICT job are too expensive, right until the shit hits the fan, at which point it’s “drop everything and help me, now!”

Organisations are no longer run by Founders, instead they’re run by accountants and lawyers who only care about shareholder value, not the societal or environmental impact.

When the bubble finally explodes we’re going to be looking at an altered economic and technology landscape, if we don’t self ignite before that.

Yes. Look up LOGO.

In the vast majority of operating systems the person who installs the system is by default the highest privileged user, in the case of some of those systems, that user is called root.

However, the word root is also used to describe the basis of several file systems.

No.

Secure boot is about trusting which (signed) software is running.

It means your coffee pod machine just came online and the coffee is currently spewing from the spout … probably.

How would you suggest I respond in the future?

We have a person, claiming that CUPS doesn’t work and they now uninstall it on every installation.

There is no context, no data, no information that suggests what the issue is, what they tried, when this occurred, on which platform, under which conditions.

In other words, the user was essentially saying “CUPS sux”.

Having used Linux as my main system for over 25 years, that sentiment did not match my own experience, does not help anyone, not me, not the user and not the OP who was trying to solve a problem, let alone anyone else reading along.

I responded accordingly.

This has not been my experience … at … all.

Perhaps it would be helpful to discover what exactly doesn’t work for you and fix that, rather than remove CUPS because one time it didn’t work for you seven years ago.

You could print to CUPS from the other devices and potentially bypass all those shenanigans.

Also, CUPS has a PDF printer which saves you from even heating up your printer at all … I haven’t had a printer in my life for over 25 years.

Always!

Pointer Acceleration Profile and Sensitivity should be able to be adjusted to suit your requirements.

They’ll use machine learning to determine based on your behaviour if you’re under 16, then they’ll ask for proof of age.

Thank you for making my point.

In ICT circles, sure, on the nightly news it’s crickets.

We know very little beyond:

1. It will go live on 10 December 2025
2. There will be heavy fines.
3. Government ID is not allowed to be the only method.
4. A self declaration (tick box) is insufficient as a check.

There are to my knowledge no third party providers approved for this legislation. The process to assess actual implementation details started in July 2025, and the results thus far are underwhelming to put it mildly, you might call it a shitshow.

Below is the official sum total of what we know, most of it motherhood statements and “coming soon”.

Media commentary wants to “protect the children”, but have no idea how you might do so, let alone consider the implications or implementation details.

Except that in civil discussion with experts, other ideas are what helps people arrive at a solution suitable for them and their situation.

I’ll also add that I’ve been a Linux user for 25 years and the toxicity you claim in relation to the Linux community is in my experience not evident as a “major reason”, instead I’ve found it to be innovative and flexible with a wide perspective and approach to problem solving.

Are there dickheads in the Linux community? Yes, just like there are everywhere in society.
