We do take cars that fail safety inspections off the road. You are correct, we don't hold them to higher standards, but that's not a reason why we also shouldn't remove genuine hazards off the roads.
If a car is far more likely to kill someone, it shouldn't be on public roads either. Just like devices that can't be update don't belong on public nets. The risk to the broader public is to big IMO.
Software 100% needs to be included in support.
Old devices that become vulnerable but still accessible on the internet, eventually become part of bot nets producing DDOS and other network attacks.
You think spare parts don't cost money? Wearhouse space is expensive. Massive part stores have to be made. That's all expense needed to take on by auto manufacturers. Why would software be different?
Either that or they keep all the tooling, which again is expensive. And people need to know how to use the tooling too.
This isn't a "it'd be nice" kind of patch. This is exactly how we get massive bot nets for DDOS attacks. Devices become vulnerable, scans go out on the internet looking for devices they can exploit, and when they do, they gather bot nets.
It's also not creating something new. It's fixing your shit. They don't have to create the entire software stack from scratch, just fix the exploit. If they can't reasonably do that, then these devices need to be taken offline.
This is why a number of countries have laws saying spare parts must be made available for a number of years past being sold. Well beyond what the warranty is.
How is this significantly different?
We build real community. That's the answer to all of it.
If we all feel we own the park, we'll start taking care of it more. Rather than it being the cities (i.e. someone else's) problem.
How do we give land back? We decide as a community to do that.
Also, land back isn't about ownership, it's about stewardship. If we were community focused, we'd understand that, and maybe even participate in it.
How do we do justice? We let community decide what's best.
Fuck these countries. We should be caring and looking out for our neighbours. Not these nation states.
How do we deal with wealth redistribution? Support community. Spend as local as you can. Give your wealth to community.
It's not about heorarchy, it's about being mutually invested in eachother. Not just "friends", not just hanging out, but sticking through tough times. Calling out BS. Trying out best to bring our the best in eachother.
Giving power to people is not the same as democracy. People have a right to be governed however they want to be. If a community wants a king, sure. That's their right as a people. There's a difference between intervening on something like a genocide, and imposing democracy on a people that don't want it.
My problem is there's an assumption that you know what's best for people, rather than self determination of peoples.
You think it's a BS line because even in US and Canada at least (where I'm most familiar with). We're still under (though to a much lesser extent) authoritarianism.
The Government knowingly executed a probably innocent man.
The victims family, and even the prosecution, admits they got it wrong.
How is this not authoritarianism if the state can execute innocent people?
Just because you can vote, doesn't mean you have power.
Again, what about gender makes that okay/not okay?
Edit: poor communication goes both ways here. It's bad to lead someone on if your not going to follow through with it. It's also not okay to try to be friends with them to fuck them.
We can do this without enforcing gender stereotypes.
Again, not really sure what point your trying to make?
Why would "gender swapping" (putting gay people in the shelf I guess) make poorly communicating, or even lying about, intentions be okay then?
So then the trend is getting reder with time then? I don't see your point.
It's not saying 100% of people always vote red. But the majority have for a VERY long time.
It is yes. There's no central server that logs are collected to or anything like that.
That's NOT the same as ad blocking.
Borswers will still be browsers just like any other OS and precautions should be made there.
The risk of taking down large portions of the internet has the same risks as a vacuum? Interesting.
Your right not every device has parts availability. But again, why not? Because it it'll cost more?
Your willing to risk tanking the digital economy for what has historically been huge sums of money, because we don't hold vacuum cleaners to higher standards?
I'm being obtuse, but you keep pointing to "well we don't fix that problem over there, so we shouldn't do it over here". It doesn't sway me. We should absolutely fix repability of ALL ELECRONTICS AND CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
