Opt-out and not forcing are mutually exclusive. Obviously I can install GNU Coreutils.

Small here is at least 10" (and nobody uses it on them) and more often 15"/17"/22". Fiber is expensive and using <20km is not viable. It weights a lot, it creates bigger profile, etc., etc.

Unless I’m an ubuntu user?

Ew is hard, you can’t really saturate the whole spectrum, and it’s pretty easy to adapt to by changing frequencies.

Fiber optics is pretty rare compared to regular analog, and there is obvious price, range and battery considerations.

But yeah they need to be fit.

Drone operator is the most risky job right now, they are a few kilometers back from the frontline but that’s about where positive side of things ends.

Infantry in the hottest part of the front just sits there (for month sometimes, true) if there is an assault they are trying to kill someone, but that’s about it.

Compared to pilots, where they need very specific places due to radio horizon, they need pretty bulky antennae (which needs either battery or generator to work so requires constant attention), they need to manage explosives, they need to charge batteries on time, they need to go out constantly, they are working for 12 hours every day at least, they need to change equipment (different frequencies require different antennas), they need good or at least passable internet connection and they are biggest targets close to the frontline, m*scovites often use multiple bombs just to destroy one single position if found. Believe me they aren’t see-trough thin nerds.

There are attack positions that don’t use analog video and fly digital only. Either over starlink or lte or any other type of connection, but all of them with exception of satellite connection are ausceptible to the same problems as analog. And if the pilots themselves are further out they need spotters that are close to the frontline which need to manage everything still, they just don’t fly.

We reached that point somewhere in prehistory.

Are you implying that coreutils aren’t supported or patched on time? That there aren’t enough maintainers? That nobody works on them? State in which way current coreutils aren’t up to par compared to modern and attractive reimplementation. Personally I don’t see the point, there is nothing extremely good about them that would require a switch.

My stance on other projects is irrelevant

What part of changing working, tested and very stable utilities with semi-compatible unstable ones is pretty good?
