> i can't play devil's advocate for intentionally doing that around kids. I can't even maintain good faith anymore, next time I see that shit I'm putting a stop to it, unless one of you can convince me not to. We're gonna see some bad headlines coming from this guy's local Charles E. Cheese real soon...
you are the third responder to engage in distractory tactics instead of addressing the issue. I'm starting to see a pattern. the question remains, are furries lying to the public, or lying to themselves?

I don't have any commenting tactics except spotting the opportunity to slip in a joke. I think it's kind wild that a big thread raging about furries has spawned from the blog post of a hardware company making some quirky RF hardware.

my bad, thats pretty funny when read correctly. you are correct, it wasn't appropriate of me to have kicked this off here, dang should wipe the whole comment chain. for the record, flipper zero is designed for western kids to wreak internal havoc, product dev applicability is secondary

I would be interested in the names and descriptions of these legit pentesting tools.

what does it matter to you? honest question. would that impact your technical assessment somehow? do you just want in on some probable joke?
Hi. Last I checked, one of the Hacker News rules isn’t “only have serious discussions regarding technical assessments. Failure to comply hereby entitles random people to fly off the handle and get very defensive”.
> Last I checked, one of the Hacker News rules
- Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting.
- Please don't pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Find something interesting to respond to instead.
- Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.
- Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity.
- Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes.

Why can't something be "done"?
Was just reading something along those lines: https://infosec.exchange/@millie/115719943870742405 > We need to normalize declaring software as finished. Not everything needs continuous updates to function. In fact, a minority of software needs this. Most software works as it is written. The code does not run out of date. I want more projects that are actually just finished, without the need to be continuously mutated…
To be fair, some software does rot. But when you have control of the hardware and the software, rot is pretty uncommon.
Honestly, I thought the whole point was to make a popular unified platform where the community could come together and expand on it. I really can't imagine a centralized player can predict nor create all features that users might want. But it seems like Flipper did the right thing: make the software flexible and easy to expand upon.

The visibility is a huge part of it. It signals "it's okay to be yourself here" when most professional life, even in tech, is dominated by keeping up "professional" appearances.
That makes sense. And I do strongly believe in the "virtuous circle" bit: people who aren't OK with others being themselves tend not to feel comfortable at, or get invited back to, events. That would make it more comfortable for the next event's attendees, making it less pleasant for the remaining pains in the necks, and so on. I've participated in conversations like: Q: Why do rightwing websites keep getting hacked?…
Kind of transgressive to go from „someone not being ok with something“ to „so that’s totally fine to hack them“.

#130Tough spot with community that expects firmware updates while hardware sells only once
It's sort of a self imposed problem as well because the community produces a bunch of pull requests, but only the corporate staff members can approve and merge them into the official firmware. It begs the question why have an official firmware if it's not at least slightly maintained.
