I did have a similar reading of it, though mine tends towards justifying the security robot as justified as very clearly the survival of the settlement is immediately at stake there - in other words my reading is that humans have not been able to survive in this world outside of self-contained pockets and are very afraid of going out of them for fear of messing up with something that will terminate them. Techno-fragile might be the right word.

Hello admins. I’m new to Lemmy and to Slrpnk and all that jazz, but I’m already really happy of what I’ve found here - will share with friends in the same circles. Is there a donation link to help with server running costs? Best wishes from the UK

The average person in the developed world is an active part of the problem - not much out fault to be honest, we are (all here I assume) part of a social system and it’s very hard to live within limits when the whole country is functioning much beyond. Just by BEING in the UK your carbon footprint goes +1.5TonsCO2/year from public service and infrastructure emissions… (if you’re in Switzerland it’s 4+Tons)

They’ve definitiy gained points from me here. I’m no fan of Rachel Reaves and the policies they implemented so far looked like a crossover between Lib-Dem and Torries.

Elle est belle notre France… Joke aside, this might be cultural. I’ve not seen these behaviours being so widespread in other countries I lived in (the UK, Finland, Germany, Japan). Maybe thinking about putting some sort of collective monitoring in place to limit the impact of these?

Is this what you expect would happen, or what you actually observed in such events?
