It would only make sense if it was a one time fee, and you got your ID as a result.

You can pay a one time fee and get your REAL ID any time you want by going to your local DMV.

We also know it’s not about security, or you couldn’t fly without one.

You're not supposed to be flying without one (or a valid passport) now. All they're doing with this policy is potentially making it possible if you're willing to pay an extra fee and wait (potentially several hours) while they do a background check. Even then there's no guarantee you're going to be let on the flight.

We know it’s a cash grab because they’re counting on a “built-in” amount of flyers who won’t have or will refuse to get ID with privacy issues.

IMO it's not a cash grab it's an incentive to get with the program by getting the proper documentation.

The whole thing is stupid but I don't believe it's a cash grab.

I think they are claiming the media outlet is nothing but propaganda, sort of like Russia Today. Do I have that correct comrades?

Yes, Obama had them during his Presidency. Made by a South American tailor IIRC.

That image is simultaneously awesome and horrific. 10 of 10, great work!

I think it unlikely that the United States will have a National Digital ID system anytime "soon". We may eventually end up with one but I'd be shocked if it doesn't take at least two decades. As an example the Real ID Act was passed in 2005 and multiple states were still fighting in 2025. It doesn't even completely take effect until 2027!

Didn't GIMP release an entire UI overhaul earlier this year?

I wonder what must happen to roll out more Linux in the public sector.

Endpoint (device) management is mostly a solved a problem, the challenge lies in integrated systems that allow secured, controlled, and constant access to data in a way that is manageable at scale by hundreds, thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of users.

That is where it gets wicked difficult and is what @Alaknar@sopuli.xyz is referencing. To my knowledge there is no real F/OSS equivalent to the tooling that MS Entra provides for IAM, DLP and MDM. You can maybe get close with a full deployment of NextCloud but that's really only replicating M365 functionality from 15 years ago.

Is it ultimately possible if you piece enough packages and systems together? Probably but it would be a massive plate of spaghetti that only a team of highly experienced *nix managers could hope to properly support.

You can definitely use a full F/OSS stack to replicate the functionality of a Windows Active Directory network but that's so last century. Today's organizations, no matter their type or size, demand more and they won't move to F/OSS unless they can get it.

I really liked The Duke. It was one of the first controllers that actually fit well in my large adult size hands!

Why are you not using the shiny new sudo-rs? You some kind of luddite? Get with the times Grandpa!

Sure but as @ApeNo1@lemmy.world noted MS is ending support for EWS in M365 in less than 12 months! So it took them 18 years to release something that still doesn't fully work (no Calendaring support, WTF?) and won't even be usable by this time next year.

🤦

If it only supported outdated Exchange servers that would be one thing

The only Exchange server that ISN'T outdated at this point is the 4 month old Exchange Server Subscription Edition. All other versions are now EoL and have no support. So unless you have a very particular need to keep your EX environment On-Prem then you may as well migrate to EXO.

If you are already using EXO then Thunderbird's new EWS support will stop working next October.
