Hello Hotel

I found This on the same site as @mosiacmango@lemm.ee. Doesn’t sound 100% like their intent (unless whatever is “next” is a place to fill out personal details). However loading a webpage is enherantly at least a little bit risky.

It’s a programing term that comes from the phrase “shooting yourself in the foot”. Come to think about it, a loaded gun is a great example of safety mechinisms.

Theres two ways of looking at safe systems,

• People are idiots and will get themselves hurt. The machine should prevent them to keep them safe at all costs.

Or

• without guardrails, people are vulnerable idiots and I am too. Let the machine prevent them until they understand and accept the risk.

As memtioned elsewhere in the thread, political pressure prevents implementation of safe systems. I absolutely love safeguards and being safe because foot guns are nasty. (Its why Rust is a great language.) but I will fight against things clearly created under the former philosophy because it locks people out of their own property. Because sometimes the “safety” is an excuse for controlling behavor.
