Today's deep thought:

If it's utterly mathematically impossible (because Halting Problem) for any code analysis algorithm, at all, ever, zero chance, to discover security flaws like PrintNightmare

and yet humans keep finding what we're told algorithms absolutely can't, day after day

does that mean that basic standard-issue human brains are magic and can solve six Halting Problems every day before breakfast?

> Das wird in der Forschung Verschwörungsmentalität genannt und bedeutet: Jemand tendiert dazu, misstrauisch gegenüber Mächtigen zu sein. Diese Verschwörungsmentalität ist keine Ja- oder Nein-Frage. Sondern jemand kann eine stärkere oder schwächere Verschwörungsmentalität haben. [1]

Die haben aber schon mal z.B. wikipedia zur geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts aufgemacht, oder? Ist ja nicht so dass sich Mächtige durch besonders vertrauenserweckendes Verhalten hervorgetan haben.

Die Verwendung des Namen "Verschwörungsmentalität" sagt mehr über das Menschenbild der Forscher aus als über die mutmaßlichen 40% Abweichler.

Gibt natürlich viele Spinner, aber wenn man genauso davon ausgeht das man "Recht" hat und die Gegenseite mit kreativen Wortschöpfungen belegt, wird das nix mit Einigkeit in der Gesellschaft.

@freemo i think they are also made in "normal" pencil thickness, but i'll for sure will try lighting up one of the thin ones now :D

@freemo just get the refills for mechanical pencils? not as spectacular though :D

i'll try out those batteries, i have a cheap wildlife camera which requires 8 × AA..

@eliasr allowing signature removal is just teaching people that their actions have no consequences. read before you sign and stand by your word.

removing signatures is just damage control so that the failed cancellation doesn't backfire on oneself. it enables the virtue signalling cancel culture.

@mangeurdenuage coulis de framboise looks a bit like "rote Grütze", without the starch, if i get the french recipes i find right

The EU finally plans to implement its Radio Equipment Directive (RED) of 2014. ... with article 3(3)i making it almost impossible to run custom software on devices like routers or smartphones.

This will have a huge impact on the open source community and projects like OpenWRT.

"Each radio system would have to have access to the Internet to get the conformity confirmation from a server"

The concept goes so far as "noncompliant equipment will be remotely decommission"
