Except thats not even fully correct either. Hezbollah is also a political party with members who are 100% non-militant civilian members who are only politicians.

I totally understand where you’re coming from. It’s absolutely not uncommon to casually refer to high-rank NCOs as Officers (in Canada at least)

Unfortunately, as far as im aware, we generally are skimping. In the videos I linked above, it’s explained (with sources!) that most of the “issues” which the Fire Chiefs Association raises are issues in dual stairwell buildings as well. This is because of a number of factors, but includes items such as:
In the case that a fire breaches the containment of an apartment unit and spreads to the rest of the building, one stairwell is often allowed to burn relatively uncontrolled so that firefighters can focus on evacuating residents instead
The long hallways of dual stairwell buildings mean that it’s more likely for residents to get cut off from a safe stairwell, or need to travel a longer distance to a safe stairwell, vs single stairwell buildings where the stairs are right there
As dual stairwell buildings often end up with only 1 usable stairwell in the case of a fire, it’s a little silly to say that dual stairwell buildings allow residents coming down to not obstruct firefighters going up (especially when you consider that even with 2 stairwells, you can’t control which one people will use, even if both are functional)
Finally, for what it’s worth, my understanding is that positive pressure halls/staircases do aide greatly, even in the case that a fire is directly in the hall as they keep smoke from settling.
It’s understandable and extremely good to be distrustful of the motives of politicians. Genuinely, I applaud you for not trusting them blindly.
But in this case especially, Revi Kahlon and the other NDP members who worked on this have provided overwhelming evidence (facts) for the safety of single stairwell designs. Their evidence is coming from Europe and asia who have used these for a long time and still have better fire safety than we do in north america, they also have evidence from Seattle, which implemented similar changes and has found no measurable increase in fatalities or injuries from fires.
Unfortunately, it’s my opinion the Fire Chiefs Association has provided limited supportive data to counter the mountain of evidence that exists for switching to single stairwell, and that’s before even considering additional safety measures like pressurized/ventilated hallways, external fire exits, fire barriers, and high flow per-apartment sprinkler systems.
I understand it’s concerning to hear when a fire chief is saying that this change could be dangerous, but the gentleman in the linked video provides far more stats regarding the fire safety of single stairwell dwellings than Mr Cairney has.
In fact, so many people have had this concern, that he made a followup with even more evidence for how safe a properly built single stairwell apartment building is, contrary to what the Fire Chiefs Association would suggest https://youtu.be/ozwkP9Zsi0Y
Single stairwell buildings are shown to be just as fire-safe as dual stairwell buildings when built properly. It also provides the benefit of more, larger units that are faster and less expensive to build.
Here’s a fantastic video that was reportedly part of the influence for housing minister Revi Kahlon’s announcement: https://youtu.be/iRdwXQb7CfM
That’s nice that you have an opinion.
Unfortunately I dont care if you disagree, as there is plenty of scientific literature which supports the stance of modern school boards.
Try getting out of your ‘touchy feels’ about reality and read a book sometime.
I agree with the first part, but unfortunately being failed in school is probably part of why we’re here. It leads to lower student happiness and worse ongoing grades (source: partner is a pre-service teacher)
In the case of a usurper government that was massacring citizens within 8 days of taking power, under the veil of “removing human obstacles” and eliminating “hostile groups”… I would argue that support and willful ignorance are one in the same. Unwillingness to refuse supply of arms or materials to the government that is undertaking these actions does nothing but strengthen their campaign of violence.
No matter how much you lay out that policies passed by the NDP are more effective at resolving the issues that they’re flocking to PP for… They always circle back around to “but they havent stopped trudeau” or “they never do anything” or even (the funniest one) “they’re corrupt”
I’m hopeful for the states now that kamala is the likely nominee… But I think we’re doomed up here
Yes and at the end of the day it’s all just binary getting dumped into a cache and processed by the CPU. The point is that the intent of the file matters and while they do both hold text, the intent, purpose, and handling of the kernel mode/ring 0 driver is much different than a “simple text file”
So different in fact, that as another user pointed out, it has happened to Linux too
Calling a kernel mode driver a “simple text file” sure is interesting
Not to jump at you in another comment thread, but any OS that is deployed in a business environment should have some form of endpoint protection installed unless it is fully airgapped + isolated.
Despite the myth that “Linux doesn’t get malware”, it absolutely does and should have protection installed. Even if the OS itself was immune to infection, any possible update can introduce a vulnerability to that.
Additionally, again, even if the OS (or kernel in the case of linux) couldn’t be infected or attacked, the packages or services installed can be attacked, infected, or otherwise messed with and should be protected.
I’m not sure if you intended to reply to me, but I am aware of this. Thanks for checking my understanding though :)
I see you’re operating on a plane of reality where windows is the only bad software, so it’s kinda pointless for me to continue here. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Is your point “Linux and Mac dont get viruses or targeted for cyberattacks”?
Or is it “This wouldn’t have broken on a different operating system”?
This was very much not caused by windows
Its a quote from Rogue One if I’m not mistaken
Hey @marathon@lemmy.ca I had a whole big thing typed up, but I want to engage with you in good faith… Would you be willing to tell me what, in your eyes is so bad about some painted nails, dyed hair/men’s long hair, “unprofessional” tattoos, and the other things that were originally introduced?
True!
