I started a response but stopped. You need to spend like 5 min reading the Wikipedia article on solarpunk. Your question is so full of misconceptions and assumptions.

A position making engineering disposition decisions on hardware that do not meet print. Sometimes, using the hardware can be ok with robust technical analysis to make sure there will be no impact to function or life of the part or the system it’s going into. It’s typically a seasoned engineer with a good understanding of the specific product, and a title/position high enough they can stand up to pressures.

A supplier I worked with recently put a green engineer fresh out of college in the role. He was pressured to allow stuff out the door so the company could hit monthly delivery and $ targets. He never should have approved certain parts but didn’t have the technical knowledge, nor the confidence and reputation and leadership support to stand up to the people trying to ship bad product. The function was made useless by their decision to put him in the role, and he’s also developing terrible engineering habits that are going to haunt him.

Lemmy. I occasionally peek into a reddit sub I used to mod. It was for a hobby that was traditionally male dominated but cracking open more for women. A year before all the API shit went down, women would often get reasonable, responsible answers to their questions about safety. Now, those same questions are met with “get a gun”, “if you’re scared, you have no business in this hobby so stay home and make your husband a sandwich” type shit. And because myself and the other decent mods peaced out, those sorts of comments stay. Women and not-sexist men started peacing out of the sub. And now it’s a mud wallow of small-minded men who are terrified that their manly man hobby can be done by women. It’s a great representative of my total experience as a woman on reddit.

I see some terrible, hateful men on Lemmy but they are far fewer and they almost always get called out by others.

I just bought one for a backpacking trip this summer. I consider it a required backup for long hikes taking me far away from help and cell coverage.

I’ll contain my skepticism until I see what these opt-in messages look like. Some of the Bing Chat and CoPilot and connecting to a MS account was designed to make people think it was required, and came up repeatedly after being dismissed. “Dark Patterns” to use a term du jour.
