Imagine seeing a tiny, fast speck that can easily just be static or a small piece of trash on the wind after days of nothing. You probably wouldn’t immediately report it either. And that’s assuming you noticed it at all. Bees are very small, especially when you’re looking at them with a device meant to detect planes
Depending on the scenario, the task could be complicated further due to things like jamming. Might be less like spotting a bee flying around a garden and more like trying to hear a whisper at a rock concert.
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!
I recently saw a TV commercial for Little Caesars Pizza, where they’re now offering a limited-edition pineapple-flavored Pepsi as part of a meal deal. That way, you can have your pineapple flavor without necessarily pissing off the “no pineapple on pizza” purists among those you’re sharing the pizza with.
Whether anyone will like pineapple-flavored Pepsi is up for debate.
