Not surprising, but unfortunate. The US federal gov't has been taking DJI to task over security allegations for years, constantly threatening a total ban.

But it's DJI's users who lose here: while operators are responsible for complying with rules, geofencing improves public and operator safety.

DJI will no longer stop drones from flying over airports, wildfires, and the White House

DJI will no longer enforce β€œNo-Fly Zones,” instead only offering a dismissible warning when pilots attempt to fly their drones into or near restricted airspace.

Wait, next week is Fusion Energy Week? For those that celebrate β€” or if you’re just a physics fan interested in cutting edge #science β€” check out this upcoming virtual tour of DOE’s DIII-D National Fusion Facility.

It’s been fascinating to me this year to learn more about DOE’s user facilities!

Ok #SFBayArea folks. EBRPD has put out a notice about a large permitted event basically making most of the Iron Horse Trail unusable Saturday Jan 27. But they don’t seem to be answering questions of what, and I’m trying to find out because it affects my weekend. Anyone have any ideas?

Crank up the volume.

Hey just a reminder that I have a newsletter! It's ✨FREE✨ and comes out once a week:

https://buttondown.email/charliejane

I tend to write a mix of personal essays, thoughts on science fiction/fantasy, thoughts on queerness, and goofy weirdness.

I'd be so grateful if you subscribed and spread the word.

Happy Dancing

We're dancing because we're happy. Or we're dancing in order to become happy. Or we're happy that we can dance. One of those.
