That's on average 57 per day, or 3.5 per hour if we assume 16 hours a day awake. Seems likely he just automated the process somehow, or that multiple people were making reports under his name. Or he was just submitting a report every 17 waking minutes for the entire year. Who knows.

Set it up to a mic measuring decibels lol.

Could tie it into adsb and send complaints with specific tail#s

Doesnt seem unreasonable, we have people here on lemmy who post and comment more than 100 times each day, also over a whole year. And I dont mean bots

What if he was preemptively planning his complaints? You know, studying flight paths, departures, & arrivals, then just delivering 57 unique complaints each day with one phone call?

“Look… I know Quantus 617 leaves for Houston at 5:45, the 974 at 3, 452 goes at 4:12, & the 889 heads out at 9pm.

Yep, that’s right.

Uh huh.

Yes I fucking know it’s only 8am. Those flights WILL be too loud & I expect you to take my complaints immediately!”

Fucking hell that's almost 57 complaints per day

What do you do with Home Assistant?

"Oh well I automate a noise complaint form submission. It's integrated with my noise level detector and with a custom python lookup for the most recent airplane departure"

(that guy probably)

I heard a story about a guy doing something similar, but it was his internet connection speed and instead of submitting a noise complaint it tweeted at his service provider.

Sounds like that Austrian guy who was caught having taken the covid vaccine hundreds of times.

Well, did he get superpowers?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

It doesn't give you super powers.

Though he would basically be a datacentre with all the bill gates microchips in him.

But that doesn't mean everything goes in the memes community. For example, uploading a mere T-shirt would be met with primarily downvotes.

Pareto principle taken to an extreme

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

That's a little over 3 per waking hour.

They could put in triple glazing? I dunno, just thinking that might be easier.
