Sure for physical things that need prototypes and materials. That is not a thing with software.

Software and business method patents have always been bullshit.

Patent the machine, not how you use it. Software is just instructions to a machine.

Which goes against the do one thing and do it well philosophy that helps to keep things stable and secure.

I think a birthday field in Pam or passwd would be fine. It'd be cool to have a happy birthday motd on login.

But it doesn't belong in what should be an init system. Much of the scope of systemd beyond an init system is the real issue. Resolved for example. Fuck poettering.

"For the children" tech laws should all be abolished. Why should I be burdened because you can't be bothered to raise your own damned kids properly?

It's a shame webos got bought and turned into a tv os. It would shine on modern hardware and was 'rooted' out of the box.

Specifically in Linux you can just use iperf assuming you have a box on the other end.

You both make good points, but prevention is better than de-escalation or alerting. Being known as protected is a preventative measure.

Of course alarms/monitoring and response (de-escalation) are very important. But stopping it before it starts should get attention as well.

They are armed. You should be too. And wear protective gear. They've permanently blinded people on purpose. They've already executed people in the street. Notice they aren't near anyplace where bpp is active.

An alarm won't stop a break in, and a whistle won't stop these goons from harming you.

Good luck. Everything is integrated now with nonstandard form factors. The work and cost to do my 2020 transit is ridiculous. Phone mount and Bluetooth it is.
