  No. By everyone should have a basic understanding how electricity works, so they’re not surprised that they better switch it off when working on the wiring and can at least make a guess of how it’ll behave once powered.
  They don’t need to get into the dynamics of capacitors, diodes, transistors or other electronic components, but having heard of them certainly wouldn’t hurt.

  You don’t need to convince me. I’m all for people having a basic understanding of the tools they use on a daily basis.
  But my observation is that people seem predominantly opposed to the idea.

  But then people would have to learn. That’s scawy 🥺

  The cries are about how Bluesky uses it and implements the required infrastructure, not the protocol itself.

  I think the point webp@mander.xyz is trying to make is that, if I were to send you digital information and then demanded from you to delete it, one would have potentially a harder time convincing people, that it’s not within your rights to demand remuneration.
  Especially with how US-centric and -representative the international media landscape has become.
  Even though in most(?) European countries I imagine (didn’t actually check) I could sue you for damages, maybe reduced due to my causing the issue, should you publish the information after I asked you delete it.

  But with the power imbalance at play here the police can just roll in and arrest the guy. Allowing them to be terminally stupid in the best case, or malevolent in the worst. They could just as well claim they sent someone secret information, they refused to comply with the request for deletion, so they were arrested.
  Depending on how little oversight there actually is, that either is the end of the story or, when asked for proof of this series of events, the “proof” was “accidentally deleted” during the investigation, how clumsy.

  I mean, you already got one downvote suggesting someone didn’t pick up on it.

  No. Zebras don’t have a herd hierarchy we can exploit. With horses you pick out the lead horse, tame it and boom, the whole herd follows you.
  With zebras you get one zebra, of you’re very lucky. More likely you’ll get kicked and bitten.

  Was thinking more like satellite imagery as background. I feel like there’s no way such faint an object would be visible through the atmosphere. But maybe I’ve just never been far enough away from civilisation.

  Did some Linux cultist downvote my real concerns because the reality they were slapped with disagreed with their fictitious worldview?

  I’d guess you got downvoted because you expect other people to solve your problems. You expect someone to promise you it will work without any issues.
  Instead of putting in the work and just trying it. You don’t have to go all in, either. Just make some space on the drive and do a parallel install. Dual boot.
  Best case: you find out many things with little to no effort and such permanently, gaining freedom.
  Worst case: you switch back, having learned something useful.
  But don’t expect strangers to exactly know your use case. It’s your computer. Teacher ownership of it!
