Well yeah. My bicycle odemeter has settings for different size wheels.

We used to take vehicles in for calibration and then all runs had to use the same psi in the tires.

I have test all three methods. GPS is the best, but it has drop outs. You can add an inertial gyro system to compensate, but that becomes sloppy the longer it goes without GPS.

The tire method has a lot of variances, but the measure at the transmission is often worse.

Or don't use YouTube on their platform.

OK I understand now. I thought you were suggesting that if people were working from home but returned to the office they would be less likely to be replaced. In the same position.

I don't understand the correlation. If you work entirely in an office the odds are no different that you can be replaced by AI or offshore workers.

The location of where you are doing work changes neither of those things.

Hybrid is the worst. I mean its better than making me be there all the time, but it also lets people get away with all the bad habits: mixed in office / at home meetings, lack of documentation, unclear directives, favoritism, etc.

Hybrid means that the people are still unable to figure out how to communicate effectively, that they are going to start saying nonsense like "institutional knowledge" because they let people get away with it.

In the scenario I described to you trans people are much more comfortable than have 2 sex bathrooms.

A single sex bathroom means there is no choice that need to be made. They do not have to present as anything, nor be judged as anything. It is simply a person in a public room, and a private room for the private time.

It also means (as I described it) the sharing of the hand washing mirror facilities are barely different than being in the hallway. Do people share hallways? Of course. So this open to the public space adds a level of protection.

Then for the private space it is single use. One person.

I feel like I am having a hard time getting this across, and I don't know why.

There will always be somebody who doesn't like something. But you normalize things and then people adapt.

They like it better because they feel it is more private.

Nobody cares about washing their hands or fixing thier hair or whatever in front of others, and the appreciate that when they are doing the business part their is a completely private space.

I just visited a high school that does exactly this, and no one cares.

In fact they like it better.

You put the handwashing station in an open area, visible to the hallway.

You put floor to cieling stalls for the actual doing your business part.

I have been to a lot of places that do this and nobody cares. It is an added level of safety that you are either in private or visible to passers by.

Yeah. Blocked. A thing I have never done in 12 years at reddit or here.

So this person doesn't want a conversation, and immediately goes to blocked while calling people names.

Yep it is a them problem.

And I always find it so strange, because when did people not be able to disagree? I have disagreed with some on on one topic and then found them in another forum being brilliant about that other thing.

This blocked, I never want to see or talk to you again, is something so new to me.

In the old days I would have just assume they are trolling. I am beginning to wonder if that isn't their plan afterall.

You have seen, in this sub, about Linux Memes in your words: "Gatekeeping Turds ... who push back on UI improvements because they dont want people moving into their niche."

Yeah. Right. This is exactly the place you have found a group of people who do not want you to make changes because they are defending... checks notes... the "niche" of open source software.

Yeah, I am thinking this might be a you problem. And I am trying to say this in a nice way: anyone can made that change. Asking someone else to do it may get push back, but that is any software development. Effort vs reward. But to claim the want to hold onto a niche... in open source? Uh.. ok.
