I got banned from the entire site for "circumventing" subreddit bans, which was because some of my alts were fed subreddits by the algorithm that I was not supposed to be on.

"Point us to an post about a guy given a job he is clearly unqualified"
That's literally my point -- the post isn't about the person in charge of the ministry! It's about them testing Collabora and the users just having too many issues with it. I guarantee if it was the same exact story and the minister had a male name none of you would have done this deep dive and criticism.
And why do you think she is unqualified? The Minister of Digitization doesn't need to be an expert on digitization, they need to be competent at high-level management and understanding how laws and policies work. Did she do something wrong? Would someone else have somehow convinced the 37 or however many employees who tested it not to hate it?

Yeah but for some reason Slashdot commenters jump to targeting people mentioned in the stories when they have a female first name.

How long before we start deploying remotely piloted and full autonomous drones to fly escort missions for cargo runs? There have been numerous instances of cargo theft from trailers, or hijacked full loads when drivers were doing their mandated federal rest stop. I would assume things would eventually escalate to wifi and anti-drone jamming for higher value loads, but those are extremely visible attacks (the signals equivalent of taking bolt cutters to your power line). At that point, you'd have actual armed security (possibly being provided by insurers) guarding high-value convoys against hijackers...

"And the UK handed you the brand new computer industry on a plate by destroying all the computers it had built during the war while not requiring that you do the same with the licensed copies you had built."
The UK decided to destroy its computers on its own, don't blame us for your idiocy. "Require"? What were you going to "require" we do? And how were you going to enforce this "requirement"?
And what licensed copies are you talking about? Britain shared the Bombe (which was basically an upgraded version of the one the Polish built, but of course Brits insist they're the geniuses who broke Enigma), but ENIAC was a US production.

Given how most of the rioters are masked, and many of them are clearly white, I don't think iTs AlL iMMigAnNTSS is proven.
In any event, the French riot constantly, and have for decades, well before you saw large increases in immigration.
