The FAA grounded all departing flights across the US this afternoon, and I couldn't find any confirmation that it has been lifted yet.

- **What happened:** The FAA issued a nationwide ground stop at about 3:54 p.m. ET, citing extraordinary circumstances and safety concerns. The FAA called it a temporary telecommunications outage and said all flights were halted as a precaution. Planes already in the air could keep flying to their destinations.

- **Scope:** The problem affected all 22 air route traffic control centers, and FlightAware counted about 7,000 flights delayed or cancelled. Other outlets reported more than 10,000 flights affected.

- **Cause:** Officials haven't given a specific one. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said it was a telecommunications outage throughout the FAA and that everybody is safe. He said there was no indication yet of a nefarious act behind it. TechCrunch noted the outage came the same week the administration rolled out an AI-powered tool for air traffic controllers, but it's unclear whether the two are related.

The newest reports I found are from early this evening. If you're flying tonight or tomorrow, check your airline's app and FAA's X account (@FAANews) for updates. Even after a ground stop ends, delays and cancellations usually keep rippling for a day or more.

Anyone here excited for Qwen 4?

[Cate-Tech @TECHdigression]

@LGLDSR71 So many corporate data is wrapped up in OneDrive, and grounding all flights is likely a cyber attack in my opinion. Both likely are, but whether or not they're related is the real question.

@TECHdigression Did you know this?
"The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued an unprecedented nationwide ground stop for all departing flights across the United States due to major communication and radar issues impacting Air Route Traffic Control Centers"

[Cate-Tech @TECHdigression]

@LGLDSR71 Oh, crap!

[Cate-Tech @TECHdigression]

@GunzaGoGo45 Basic

[Cate-Tech @TECHdigression]

@LGLDSR71 Not at all, that's both fascinating and concerning at the same time. Do you have any solid links for me?

[Cate-Tech @TECHdigression]

@GunzaGoGo45 In BCT, we could only read religious material, so I ended up reading one way back then. I need to go back through it, but I'm ready to tear it into shreds for sure, and I think this is something we can accomplish. I will definitely let you know when I make that account

This is why I love having a NAS. And I love having a perfect backup of that NAS. And oh boy, it would be good to be able to keep my second one on site for any sort of property damage for safety. But alas, I would, I just use tail scale and run with it. Okay, I don't only use tail scale. Lord knows I have to set up my security suite pretty well and pretty tight, but I don't run windows either, so that does help me. And I don't use one-Drive or cloud services really, so that also helps. Good ole fashioned Rocky Linux for me, and mg security stack... Is good for what I do at least.

[Cate-Tech @TECHdigression]

I'm inclined to believe you that it is a cyber security attack, especially as I've spent plenty of time peeking under the hood at LLMs in general. I do remember the NT days, and as Windows currently sits right now, it's on the same foundation it's been sitting on since NT. Because if you remember Windows ME was a huge flop and failure because they actually tried to rebuild Windows from the ground up, and that was a huge failure. So part of my speech to text, I'm gonna have some grammatical errors in this reply, but I'm completely with you brother. I agree with you. I just think it's absolutely idiotic and that's why this meme made me laugh. I made it. I thought it was funny

[Cate-Tech @TECHdigression]

@GunzaGoGo45 We should take over #DigitalCrusade, and just start slaughtering their apologetics, and mercilessly throw on display the worst parts of their culture. I'm tempted to make a separate account. I very well might... I'll let you know if I do

[Cate-Tech @TECHdigression]

Weakness invites predation. History records it repeatedly: states that cannot defend themselves lose territory, people, and resources to those that can. Deterrence is the practical check on that reality. It's impossible to get rid of Veterans, with out serious risk. The language of the youth near me uses violent, death threat oriented language. Its a Major university area where I'm at

[Cate-Tech @TECHdigression]

I actually seem to have both A: not added my second notes; and B: I forgot to merge my notes, and remove the "part" label. My apologies. I'll dig it out.

Without digging for them, I'll just respond off the cusp a bit here. Satan only fears Mary through the power of Christ. The Church explicitly teaches that shes a creature, and not a divine entity. Shes entirely incapable of doing anything without the grace of God, and this sort of language that Cameron used has a lot of push back from the Magisterium... For this exact reason.

[Cate-Tech @TECHdigression]

You're right that Mary needed a Savior. She says so herself in Luke 1:47, and we agree on that.

The question is how He saved her. Picture two people heading for the same pit. One is pulled out after she falls in. The other is caught before she falls. Both were rescued by the same hand, and neither saved herself. Catholics hold that Mary was rescued the second way, by the merits of Christ applied in advance.

On "all": Rom 3:23 (RSV-2CE) says "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God," and Paul is arguing that Jew and Gentile alike are under sin. But "all" can't settle this by itself. Jesus is "without sin" (Heb 4:15), and no one reads Rom 3:23 as including Him.

Gabriel's greeting in Luke 1:28 points the same direction. "Full of grace" is kecharitomene, a perfect participle: graced in the past, with that grace still standing.

*seldomly online. I've been noticing a huge difference between the Catholics in my personal community, and who all appears on X. I'm still processing that, and I've been working on that thought for over a year.

[Cate-Tech @TECHdigression]

You should see my other post on this page. It led lens a lot of clarification. It seems like a very jarring thing to say to get a reaction out of people, but it's incorrect and it's not what the magisterium actually teaches. It's much more nuanced than that and I would even argue that that language would be rejected by today's magisterium

[Cate-Tech @TECHdigression]

@riecker @GunzaGoGo45

[Cate-Tech @TECHdigression]

A clarification for anyone reading: Mary has no power of her own over Satan. She's a creature, and whatever strength she has is her Son's, given by grace. The victory belongs to Christ.

Gen 3:15 (RSV-2CE) puts enmity between the serpent and the woman, and it is her seed who "shall bruise your head." Mary says it herself in Luke 1:47-49: she rejoices in "God my Savior," and "he who is mighty has done great things for me."

Strength like that is received, never owned. This is proper Catholic teaching.
