Kill almost anyone besides those you are being told to kill, yes.

My personal solutions regardless of the law or regulations are besides the point.

Here’s hoping the appropriate machines get off-loaded by the big-name publishers and purchased by those with more respect for the medium. That, and/or, DIY paperback book-binding gets quality improvements and cheaper, and takes off.

FCC and Executive Branch unilaterally try to**

That said, I don’t have the money to try to import an unapproved router for personal use and then find/hire lawyers sue when its seized in customs, and am uncertain what arguments could be used in-court to affect this issue beyond for, maybe, myself ending up with a product I honestly don’t plan to use, but there has to be a way beyond begging Congress-Critters for some basic crumbs of Illusion-of-Choice-masquerading-as-Consumer-Rights … right?

Inevitability implies the ability to see it coming, and take appropriate actions towards mitigation. Its the opposite of an excuse to do fuck-all, let-alone facilitation.

Note, @disorderly@lemmy.world is referring to metal-safes, not the plastic file-safe crap you’ll find in Walmart.

For hard-drive and chip-storage destruction, its hard to beat a drill or a hydraulic press. Holes, or snapping the storage-medium in half will generally do. From there to recyclers or landfill, either is less toxic to the environment than burning the stuff in a PC or phone.

What you want, if it needs refractory-cement, Kaowool, or whatever the insulation in the walls of fire-safes is, is called a Forge or an Incinerator, maybe a Kiln or a Heat-soak Furnace, and no, an off-the-shelf Fire-safe is far from sufficient without abusrdist-levels of modification.

The heat needs somewhere to go, and those safes, the plastic home-and-office-grade ones anyways, are designed to take external pressure, not hold it in. In-fact, part of why they work is that the oxygen get’s sucked-out by the fire outside -they generally aren’t air-tight, save maybe the “flood-safe” ones … which I still would be surprised to see protect anything versus prolonged submersion.

Even if you used an electric heating-element and seal the gap you need for that perfectly, you’re going to out-gas the plastics and insulation, destroying the integrity of the safe and contaminating the area with toxic fumes, long before the contents are singed-enough to cause much damage without additional oxygen. Once you’ve got an open flame, your electric heating-element is fucked, so while you could maybe BS a fire-safe to suit your purpose, its one-time-use and closing/locking it is working against you every step of the way.

If it has to be cheap/free, and low-technical-difficulty, there’s Primitivist channels on youtube that will show you how to make a forge from clay and/or clay-brick and mud.

I guess if heat-alone would do what you want, a dutch-oven over an open fire could do, or a charcoal-chimney-starter if the items are small-enough. For PID-document destruction, I use a fire-pit, or rather, I use bills and reciepts to light kindling, but I usually have enough of both that you could almost call the wood in the pit an after-thought.

… now all we need is the save-file for the PS3 Minecraft tutorial world.

I’m guessing they mean mostly un-currated/un-modderated? … “features” I don’t desire in such a site anyways.

How are you still even bothering to reply? I figured would end-up blocking you before you would shut-up, but this is just sad. I’m not flexing for your skinny or obese ass, whatever the case may be, but in-person, I’m certain you would have run-away or been carried off on a stretcher by now, and probably taken-down by a by-stander before I had to take your threats seriously or bother hitting back, at that.

Do Aussies not have Friday’s or something?

Look in the mirror. Asshole≠Wrong

You took personally a statement addressed to anyone who happened to read it, a statement parents the world-over make when told by a stranger, or “society”, others could do their job better, their priorities are wrong, whatever.

Whether it was meant to provoke you personally or not, whether I could tell you would or not, you made the leap to running with it, and I cannot fix that for you, and it does take you solidly from “I don’t know you, stay away from my kids” to; No really, I now know more about you than I ever would have asked for and I was more spot-on in the first place than I realized, stay away from my kids.

That’s how you took being told to stay away from my kids and the statement that they are already creeped out by people like you? People who can’t handle being told their parenting advice/perscriptiveness and proclivity for labelling strangers as un-fit/inexperienced/ignorant parents is un-wanted?

An apology for a statement of my personal stance and a fact about my kids’ demeanors isn’t going to happen. Stop using strangers’ statements of trust/distrust as an evaluation of your own overall trustworthiness, for starters. I don’t trust myself around anyone’s kids more than their parents trust me, so why should I apologize for not seeing you as an exception to that? The fact you would apparently expect such is the instigator of my misgivings.

Overall trust isn’t something to expect or request, and versus the children of another person or “children in general” that goes infinitely more-so.

You would have to buy me one to do that, but fair enough. Good day, m’lady

Fair enough. I picked up on the idea “something’s not right here” and aggressively proded you rather than de-escalate or use my people skills really. Showing weakness on the internet usually gets others going for my throat, so I find its easier to make that happen intentionally in the hopes the other party realizes “wait a minute, why did I let this stranger get me going like this?”

… more often, I end up having to block people, but you didn’t quite give me enough reason, even if I did tell myself that was coming next a few times. See you around.

Now who is confused about who they are replying to? “Just Install Linux” wasn’t my comment.

You made that very clear from the start

This, I’ve gotta hear. Do you even have anything to say or any idea how far down an off-topic and de-railed thread you’ve chosen to step in?

If you’re so certain you’re up to the task, then by all means, correct me, pickled-sensei. I like a good chuckle as much as anyone.

… Yeah, no. Nothing I’ve said to you was meant for anyone else, and I doubt you’re a day older than I, almost as much as I doubt any child who has escaped your clutches ever talked to you again.

Wait, are you still on that non-sense where calling it your article means calling you the author? If you struck me as someone capable of feeling shame rather than hoarding personal affronts not entirely for you like little treasures, I guess I could have called it “your source”, but let’s be real, that was never going to help you back to the support group you’ve stumbled out-of.

First three words of it were the location, by the way. Imagine thinking the average mid-town Los Angeles family has such a nice yard…

Obviously you’re not the author, or your stanning of this non-sense shouldn’t have dipped into such weak-sauce semantics. Pretending that’s what I said was an amusing conceit though.
