Basically this. Make it so that people live in places conducive to not owning a car. If people live places where it is miles between their needs and there is no accessible form of alternative transport, you’re stuck with cars.

America is stupid for excessive guns. But this is stupid in the other direction. Talk about over policing. Fuck me this is stupid
I mean… To be a little bit fair, the middle east doesn’t police things nearly as much as a general rule. Lots of people break the law with zero consequences. I lived next door to Saudi for a time and it was a little better where I was but still a world of difference in adherence to and enforcement of general laws compared to most western countries.
Just walk halfway to the gym and then give up and walk home.
I suppose my argument is that if a law is unjust, then so is the punishment for breaking it.
My bad directing towards whistleblowers when you meant journos. And only about them encouraging others to break the law. Even talking about journalists though I think the same logic can apply. If one lives in for example, an authoritarian regime, any word spoken against the state is considered unlawful. If we apply the situation to less authoritarian government, that still have laws against disseminating information about the government, we run up against the same issues. It’s against the law to show your government doing wrong. So what recourse is left but to break the law in hopes that you can effect some change?
How is a journalist or a whistleblower to call out the worst without breaking the laws or discussing the same? I get that they can sometimes, your two examples, though I’m not familiar with the instances, I’m sure are great examples of when it all goes right. But some information that should be made known, will see the government pursuing the full extent of the law and potentially beyond, against individuals involved in its dissemination. Journalist, whistleblower, exfiltrator, won’t matter.
I can understand protecting innocent people by censoring what comes out. I think that Assange is a scumbag and don’t like how he operates, but I also think governments need to be held accountable for their actions and choices.
I probably have the jargon wrong as I’m no lawyer. But I would still think the count severity should matter more than it does.
DDOS against a little self hosted instance isn’t really a concern I’d have. I’d be more concerned with the scraping of private information, ransomware, password compromises, things of that nature. If you keep your edge devices on the latest security patches and you are cognizant on what you are exposing and how, you’ll be fine.
I know that’s the norm but you’d think that even with it being the first time he was caught, the 30 count would warrant a more serious response. What would they do if he did this 30 times with a trial between each commitment of a felony? I think that should be a deciding factor even if it’s not likely to be.
How do you suggest a whistleblower actually get and release the information they need to prove themselves if not by breaking bad laws that protect corruption?
Not trying to drum up an argument but I think your black and white stance is flawed.

No worries, just wanted to be sure. 🙂
Really varies on where you go and who you talk to. It’s not a universal thing.
For the company or the workers? For the company to die on rto mandates, fully agree.
Good luck! Everything will work out eventually.
What a grand and intoxicating innocence.
I like your physics.
