  • Doesn’t feel like a threat. Feels like a scare tactic to people who don’t know enough about how flying works.

    There is no way in hell he gets away with physically shutting out other planes. NORAD is US + Canada. Canada is extremely unlikely to acquiesce, so he’ll have to use unpaid American military. Because ICE is not building fast enough (ICE is his excuse to say, “see? I’m not using military on civilians!”), he relies on the military to keep a hold on the populace. If they become too disgruntled, he loses or at least greatly impedes his progress towards his desired control of the entire US government.

    If he declares that towered airports are now class G, then airplanes are still able to land but at a greatly reduced rate

    If he makes them into TFR’s, then he’ll add time for planes to go around them.

    His “threat” feels completely toothless.

















  • Maybe Ubuntu changed since I last used it. I looked and it looks like interim means non-LTS.

    coreutils is, well, important. It’s fine to bring new software in, but you have to test it. And they haven’t tested enough.

    Ubuntu has, at least long stretches of the past decade, been a really good server and desktop for me. Having bugs that prevent updates is not acceptable for a server OS. Yes, you should be able to manually intervene but I expect a higher standard from Ubuntu.

    Changes like swapping out coreutils for the rust variant really needs to go through Debian first. Are there bugs that trickle through Debian? Yes. But Debian is stable. Ubuntu should be too. They are basically testing a core function in production. Ubuntu releases are not supposed to be betas. At least, historically, that has held true.
